Dean, prof, legislators plan May tour of China
By MICHAEL TOTTY Staff Reporter
TOPEKA — A KU associate dean and a professor from the University of Kansas Medical Center plan to travel this spring to the People's Republic of China with a delegation of Kansas legislators.
Chae Jin Lee, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Chien Liu, professor of medicine and pediatric medicine at the Med Center, has been invited to join the May tour of Kansas' sister province of Henan.
One purpose of the visit will be to discuss expansion of the faculty and student exchange program between schools in Kansas and Henan, and provide an administrative assistant to Senate President Robert Talkington. R-Iola.
THE KANASS GROUP will include Talkington and House Speaker Mike Hayden, R-Atwood. Also invited are House Minority Leader Marvin Barkis, D-Louisburg, and Senate Minority Leader Mike Johnston, D-Parsons, as well as representatives of the Kansas Department of Economic Development and the state Agriculture Department.
Lee said he had been chosen because of his past involvement with the exchange program and with the United States government. Gov. John Carlin on a 1979 visit to
Henan, located in east central China. and has visited the province four times.
KU already has a modest exchange program with Zhengzhou University and the Henan Medical College. Center has a comparable program with the Henan Medical College.
THE UNIVERSITY accepts one faculty member from Zhengzhou University, who comes to KU to do research as a special student, and it sends one or two students a year to Zhengzhou.
Sloan said the lawmakers' visit to China was intended to support the efforts of the Department of Economic Development in encouraging the development and definition of trade to include educational exchange programs, he said.
"Trade can also include the movement of students and teachers," Slaan said. "That's largely the objective of their visit here."
In March, five representatives of the Henan People's Congress, the Chinese equivalent of the Legislature, plan to tour Kansas. Their visit would include a stop at the Med Center.
They also plan to tour Allen County Community College, the Kansas State University veterinarian school, Kansas Technical Institute, two schools in Topeka and the Brown Mackey Business College in Salina.

Templin approves monitor plan
A proposal to hire roving security monitors at Templin and Joseph R. Pearson halls this fall will be delivered by the Templin hall government.
The proposal, which the JRP hall government approved Monday, asks the Residential Programs Advisory Board to approve him. The board has hit this semester instead of next semester, as originally planned.
The proposal is scheduled to be discussed at the Feb. 27 RPAB meeting.
James Jeffley, Association of University Residence Halls president and JRP resident, wrote the proposal.
J. J. Wilson, director of housing, last semester offered money for JRP and Templin to hire the monitors this semester. But Wilson withdrew the offer after Caryl Smith, RPAB chairman and dean of student life, and Jeffley said RPAB should have been consulted.
LAST WEEKEND, about $1,149 worth of theft and vandalism occurred at JRP. The damage alerted JRP to the need for security, Alan Oakes, JRP president, said Monday夜.
Reggie Estell. Templin president, said Templin had wanted the security monitors when they were
offered, but JRP residents had felt they were unnecessary.
At the Templin meeting, Sgt. Mary Ann Robinson of the KU police said 29 preventable crimes had occurred at Templin this school year. Robinson defined preventable crimes as those that could have been prevented by security monitors.
Also at the meeting, a proposed amendment to the AURH constitution was rejected by the Templin government. The amendment would create an AURH judicial board to hear appeals from residents who had been charged with policy violations.

Two unofficial coalitions are gearing up for next month's election for Association of University Residence Halls officers.
Jeffley said he had chosen Laurie Strait, Toopa sophomore and McCollum Hall resident, to run for vice president on his coalition; Barbara Pratt, Lincoln junior and Lewis Hall junior for secretary; and Mike Pringle, Humburg, III., junior and Oliver Hall resident, to run for treasurer.
James Jeffley, AURH president, and Andrew Blossom, AURH chairman of the Board of Appeals, said yesterday that they planned to run for president after the election. Jeffley and Blossom said they would file petitions for their coalitions by the end of the week. Friday is the petition deadline.
Jeffley said Blossom originally had agreed to be his running mate, but Blossom withdrew the offer over the weekend. Jeffley he was satisfied with the coalition he had chosen.
Blossom said he would call his coalition Alliance. He said he had chosen Liz Walt, Topeka freshman and Hashinger Hall resident, to run for vice president and Margie Houston, Columbia, Mo., freshman and Lewis Hall resident, to run for secretary.
He said his campaign theme would be his accomplishments as AURH president, such as his work on a residence hall visitation policy and the organization of food committees in the halls.
"I don't ask that they commit themselves to me. I ask that they commit themselves to an idea, a principle, a philosophy." Jeffley said.
