Writing center for faculty will help to improve skills
By The Kansan Staff
Beginning this fall, students won't be the only ones learning better writing skills. A writing center in Wescoe Hall will be open to faculty interested in improving their written skills and students become better writers
Stephen Goldman, associate professor of English and director of the writing center, said yesterday that in the first year the center would be a consulting center for faculty. The center will have staff who will offer training to faculty for good writing assignments in their individual fields.
Faculty members probably will come to the consulting center on an individual basis, although an exact module has not been set. Goldman马
A committee at the University, formed in 1982 to study a University
core curriculum, decided last fall that a subcommittee should be formed to study a writing curriculum. The subcommittee then proposed the idea for the writing center.
Goldman said the University didn't need to create more English courses, but needed to incorporate writing skills in all areas of study.
"We want to work with writing as it's needed in each profession," he said. "We're creating a better atmosphere if good writing is demanded in all fields, not just English courses."
Haskell Springer, professor of English, said the center planned to help improve the writing of students not by dealing directly with each student, but by offering services to help the teachers so they could help their students become better writers.

Judge bans spread of KG&E material
Attention Faculty and Staff
From Staff and Wire Reports
Shawne County District Judge James MacNish issued a temporary restraining order against Robert Eye, attorney for the Alliance for Liveable Electric Rates, and Stevi Stephens, director of the Nuclear Awareness Network, which is based in Lawrence.
Kansas Gas and Electric Co. of Wichita obtained a court order Monday to prevent an attorney from a consumer group and the director of a Lawrence nuclear watchdog group from revealing information about the construction of the Wolf Creek plant that KGGE says is confidential.
The information was obtained
from a Quality First program set up by K&E and the other utilities building the power plant — Kansas City Power and Light Co. of Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas Electric Power Cooperative — to solicit complaints, allegations and statements from Wolf Creek employees on any concerns about the quality of the plant's construction and operation.
Lyle Koeper, spokesman for KGGE, said yesterday that his company was concerned about maintain-ment confidentiality of the program.
“Mr. Eye has already revealed two of the files in public.” Koerper said. “We are concerned that the confidentiality be maintained — that Mr. Eye
and Ms. Stephens don't release any further information from the files, and in doing so, jeopardize the whole program."
The NRC reviewed 258 files from the Quality First program before issuing a full operating license for the software is near Burlington last week.
Kooper said that KG&E had allowed full access of the files to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Kansas Corporation Commission.
The KCC has taken steps to review the files in private to determine whether they have any hearing on the 'cost of constructing Wolf Creek.
Pedro Irigonegaray, a Topeka attorney representing Eye and Stephens, said his clients had no desire to harm the Quality First program.
"They have expressed a strong desire that the Wolf Creek nuclear power generation station be safe and that individual employees who complain about safety, management or construction problems are not轻易 dealt with and that their complaints be properly acted upon," he said.
Irgonegaray said that his clients would respect MacNish's order and that they would respond at a hearing set for July 3 in Topeka.
The KCC has resumed technical hearings in Topeka.
