Low donor turnout leaves
KU blood drive short of goal
In its first two days, the KU blood drive did not reach its daily goal of 250 donors.
The drive on Monday fell short by 109 donors, said Kathy McDonald, Kansas communications specialist for the American Red Cross.
ist for the American Red Cross. About 130 pints were donated yesterday, said Leah Davis, vice president for campus affairs for the Panhellenic Association. The association is co-sponsoring the drive with several other campus living groups.
The low turnout may give Kansas State University a victory over KU in a donation contest. K-State donated 819 pints in its blood drive last week.
Anyone older than 17 who weighs more than 110 pounds and is in good health may donate blood today and tomorrow. No appointments are necessary. The drive ends tomorrow.

Psychology programs will remain separate
Kansan staff writer
By Dan England
David Shulenburger, acting vice chancellor for academic affairs, Monday withdrew a recommendation to merge two psychology departments.
The recommendation, a result of program review, proposed a merger of the department of educational psychology in the School of Education with the department of counseling psychology in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The merger was proposed as a way to save costs by eliminating the chairperson of one of the departments.
Shulenburger said yesterday that he met with the administrative council of the departments and informed them of the withdrawal Monday. He said he based his decision on faculty protest during a Feb. 24 public hearing. The hearing gave students and faculty the chance to speak for or against the proposed merger.
Nona Tollefson, head of the educational psychology department and a member of the hearing committee, announced the withdrawal yesterday at the second public hearing.
"It became apparent throughout the hearing most of the faculty didn't believe the merger would serve them well," Shulenburger said.
Despite the announcement, Richard Simpson, head of the committee, said it would present a recommendation based on the hearings to the University Senate Executive Committee.
One of the complaints from faculty members in the School of Education was that the school was already in the process of reorganization, and that the merger interfered with it.
smutenburger said he asked the school to look at broader recommendations, and to present a report to the new dean of education for approval by the end of September. Ed Meyen, former dean of education, left the department when he became executive vice chancellor in July 1992
Richard Whelan, interim dean of education, said the school would continue to study ways to reorganize in order to save money. He said a committee that was studying the reorganization before the proposed merger would be reformed.
Whelan said that more proposals of departmental mergers within the school probably would be generated by the study.
"They are one of the more effective ways to save costs," he said.
Edward Heck, professor of counseling psychology, spoke out against the merger in the first hearing and said yesterday he was relieved that the proposal for the merger was dropped because there were too many unanswered questions about it.
Service keeps up with students
"I really felt that the merger should have been thought through," Heck said.

Contacting busy students when an emergency arises is never easy, but for non-traditional students with families and jobs, being unavailable can be a big problem.
can be a big problem.
OAKS — Non-traditional Student Organization has begun a message service this semester to help track down students when they are on campus and problems arise concerning children or a spouse.
Because the OAKS office is not always staffed, emergency calls about a serious illness or death
"Once you come up here and you're with 26,000 other students, you're invisible," said Gerry Vernon, Lawrence senior and OAKS treasurer. "When there are problems, there needs to be some way to get in touch with us."
Students sign up for the service in the OAKS office in the Organizations and Activities Center, 400 Kansas Union. The students must leave copies of their schedules and sign a liability waiver. This allows members of the organization to find students who receive messages.
can be directed to the Student Assistance Center.
Randy Holmes, Lawrence senior and OAKS president, said the service was a response to requests from members of the organization.
"This is our first try and we'll have to see what works and what doesn't," he said. "So far though, things are going well."
who are Ronnie Bryant, Chanute sophomore, said many people had not signed up because they were not aware of the service.
"Many of us are friends and we hang out together, so naturally we know how to get in touch with each other," he said. "It's the people who aren't as involved that we want to reach."
"The more we looked into it, the more people got interested," he said.
vernon said that the service had been used once this semester, to reach a parent whose child was sick, and that things had gone smoothly.
"We'd like to see other organizations on campus start a service like this," he said. "There are a lot of students who need this service, and we can't handle them all."
Halls to open over breaks
Kansan staff report
Students living in residence halls who do not have anywhere to go during semester breaks will have a new option when they fill out their 1993-1994 housing contract.
The department of student housing said Monday that it would give students the option of living in either Lewis or Templin halls from the beginning of the fall semester until finals were over in May. The 10-month continuous occupancy plan will include housing during Thanksgiving, winter and spring breaks.
"It will just be a guaranteed place to stay," said Ken Stoner, director of student housing. "Students will be able to plan with the security of knowing some place will be open over break."
Historically, McCollum Hall has
neen offered to students during semester breaks, but has not received a high turnout, Stoner said. Many students were reluctant to sign up in fear that the hall would not open because of lack of participation.
"Some students told us that if we announced it earlier, more people would sign up," he said. "This might change the patterns and it might make it a feasible option."
Students wanting to live in the residence halls during the breaks will not have to pay any additional costs for the next academic year because the option will be in its testing stage. Stoner said.
Residents of halls other than Lewis or Templin who need a place to stay will be able to pay a nightly rate during the breaks depending on available space. The rate has not been determined.
