KU police seek to unify crime prevention efforts
By DON HENRY Staff Reporter
A KU Police Department official wants the administration to let her start a new program to help fight crime on campus.
Jeanne Longaker, director of community services for the department, asked administrators recently to let her start a program to install "Crime Prevention Cameras" in uniforms to unify crime prevention efforts of the department, she said yesterday.
LONGAKER SAID crime prevention programs were continually being presented to KU living groups, but the would be an addition to the program.
However, Rodger Oroke, director of Support Services, said he doubted the program would be approved unless the board could finance it out of its own budget.
"When we don't have enough money to put enough patrol officers on the street, it's a little bit hard to approve going further," he said.
But Cap. John Courtney said the only expense of the program would be less than $100 for the purchase of the signs. He said the money would be taken from the operating expenses portion of the police budget.
"WE ALREADY have people doing community relations, and we already have the literature," he said. "This would really just be a formal name for what we are doing now."
Longaker said she hoped the new program will be in place by the onset of the fall semester, she said.
Longaker said that under the new program officers would continue to speak to KU living groups about crime awareness, emphasizing resident awareness.
Officiers will also continue to educate students in self-protection and cardiology.
Longaker said residence hall staffs had been very supportive of the program.
"That's important because we can't pull it off without their support."
THE KU POLICE department also conducted several drives last year to register bicycles and engrate personal belongings. It will continue to offer the same services under the new program, Longzaker said.
If the Campus Watch program is approved by the University of Kansas, KU officers will meet with each floor of the campus to see who is interested in them.
For the floors that display enough interest, the police will arrange a program to educate the residents about what to watch for to aid police.
Sgt. Mary Ann Robinson, a community service officer who is helping Longaker coordinate the program, said she tells residents to look for anything or anyone who look out of place on their floors.
SHE SAID residents should tell police about suspicious people who have no apparent reason to be on the floor.
After the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences spent more than an hour yesterday explaining why he restored previously canceled English courses to the fall schedule, the English department promptly voted to cancel them again.
UPDATE ON DIABETES
Gerhard Zuther, chairman of the department, said, "Where is $48,000 needed more than in a core program like the English department?"
THE MONEY IS used in the department to hire graduate teaching assistants, instructors and lecturers, humanist and sophomore English courses.
Restored English classes canceled again

A Saturday afternoon seminar on Modern Diabetes Management for the Diabetic College Student.
The controversy on the scheduling of English courses began last week when the department found it would be more cost-effective to recent reduction from its current budget.
"If the University would hold off on buying one piece of scientific equipment, our problem could practically be eliminated. It's a matter of priorities."

He said that the College's budget reduction next year amounted to $855,500, which was $172,500 fewer than which to hire teaching assistants.

"There's a point where we have to make basic commitments to the future of our company."
James Carothers, associate professor of English, said the problem with the number of English courses to offer started last year when the College Assembly did not consult with the department officials before it recommended that the department create more course sections.
Department professors said no dean had ever overruled departmental decisions on course offerings, and none were sure whether Lineberry would be fired. They would not comment until he could talk to department officials again.

"In comparison to some other departments' faculty, some English faculty should be teaching more because they are not doing research," he said. "And I would expect that the department would respond accordingly."
Carothers said that other KU schools and departments in the College were, "throwing our courses at their problems."
Officials and faculty in the department said that they considered Lineberry's action a change in the way that students used them to manage their own resources.
GEORGE WORTH, professor of English, said that other KU schools should be required to allocate some of their budgets to the English department so that the department could serve those school's students.
He said that if the department canceled the courses, the consequences would affect the entire College.
Lumberby said that if the enrollment in English courses dropped 5 to 10 percent next year, faculty salaries would drop.
He also said that some of the English faculty should be teaching more.
"If the best-off departments leave us short, then other worse-off departments will have even more short-falls," he said.
About 40 of the 55 professors and several assistant teachers told Lineberry that the cancellations were justified because they did not affect required courses, but only some sections of courses designed for students in other KU schools.
AFTER THAT meeting, the professors voted to cancel the classes again.
Last week, officials in the department decided that the best way to deal with the budget reduction was to require all teachers of English 362 and four of English 362.
LINEBERRY DEFENDED his action to the department by saying, "It's important not to do something precipitous to throw off enrollment and create unnecessary chaos.
But this week, Robert Lineberry, the dean of the College, wrote a letter to Zuther telling him that he had directed the office of admissions and records to restore those sections to the timetable.
