Details on p.2 Thursday morning, October 6, 1983 Computer science chairman resigns cites insufficient departmental funds By DONNA WOODS and PAUL SEVART Staff Reporters Victor Wallace has resigned as chairman of the department of computer science, saying he was frustrated by insufficient department access to meet increasing demand for courses. "Faculty members have been stretched too far. It is the largest program in the College by some measures of product, yet one of the numbers of faculty." Wallace said yesterday. Following his resignation, which will take effect Nov 15, Wallace will remain in the department as a professor and concentrate on developing software which is operating systems and modeling graphics. IN HIS LETTER of resignation, which was submitted Monday to Robert Lineberry, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Wallace said that demands placed upon senior faculty members were enormous and exhausting. Wallace said he had become increasingly trustful as a point because he was being told to allow police presence at the depot. to take presents in the department "I've been making predictions and showing trends for five years," he said. "Year after year I've been coming up on target, but no one seems to be taking this for real. I just feel that I'm wasting my time." Wallace said he hoped his leaving would jar administrators into realizing the depths to which problems of faculty shortages and limited finances run through the department. Although undergraduate enrollment in the department has quadrupled since he was hired as chairman seven years ago, Wallace said the increase has been much more than those students has not increased sufficiently. "I don't want to minimize the problems in other departments," he said, "but I don't think you'll find another department in the University so hard-pressed." NO NEW FACULTY has been hired since 1981, he said. The faculty member hired then was hired only to replace a professor who had left the university. in fiscal 1982, Wallace said, the computer science department had 12 faculty members and 733 students majoring in the field. That is the fewest number of faculty members and the second greatest number of students, behind the two largest of any department or school in the University. "I think we have done about as much as is humanly possible to keep quality from slipping." Victor Wallace LINEBERRY SAID THAT despite budget problems in recent years, KU had one of the best he said. "We have a far better department than the university deserves for the money it spends." See WALLACE, p. 5, col. 1 by PETE WICKLUND Staff Reporter Donation for memorial approved The Student Senate last night overwhelmingly approved the donation of $10,000 for construction of a campus Vietnam War memorial, despite the concerns of two senators and a Leawood student who argued that the students sought enough student opinion before voting. Also, the Student Vietnam Memorial Committee that initiated the project received a $200 donation for the memorial from the University Liberty American Legion Post of Lawrence. The building site will be voted on tomorrow by an advisory committee to the executive vice chancellor. If approved, the proposal will be sent to Chancellor Gene A. Budg for final approval. THE PROPOSED MEMORIAL would be a fountain at the Chandler Court adjacent to the Frank R. Burge Union. A final design probably will be selected on Jan. 17 by a committee of faculty, students and community leaders. Approval of the Senate's $10,000 donation came after an appearance by John Musgrave, a Baldwin resident and a disabled veteran, who spoke in favor of the donation. "When I served in Indo-China there wasn't a moment when I thought I wasn't serving my country," said Musgrave, who served along the coast. "When I returned, I was expecting to see the kind of welcome that I had seen the World War II men get in the movies. But when we went there, Vietnam veterans were blamed for the war." DAVID HUET-VAGHN. Leawood sophomore and an activist during the Vietnam era, also made an appearance before the Senate and said he wasn't opposed to a memorial, as long as it also paid tribute to the Vietnamese warriors and civilians that died during the war. He also said he thought the University he pay tribute to when he called an imperial insignia. "We weren't fighting an Adolph Hitler who was threatening to take over the world; we were installing a Hitter in Saigon," Huet Vaghn said in reference to former South Vietnam President Ngo Dihn Diem. "We cannot pretend that his memorial will stand alone. He wants us to forgets the Asian people who have died, we may as well forget the Holocaust." BUT MUSGRAVE, WHO was invited to speak to the Senate by Lisa Ashner, student body president, said that he would not have assisted the memorial committee unless he was assured that the memorial's meaning would not be political.
