KU satellite union named for director
By JOEL THORNTON
Staff Reporter
Frank Burge says, working, with people has made his 31-year term as director of the Kansas Union enjoyable.
And in recognition of his service, the University has named the Satellite Union after him.
The Board of Regents Friday approved the recommendation, which was made by Chancellor Gene A. Budig.
The soft-spoken, personable Burge dredra praise from fellow Union workers and the KU administration for his long stay as Union minister. The latter was one of the construction of the Satellite Union from 1977 to 1979.
BILL TOWNS, Union operations manager, said, "Everybody, absolutely the whole Union operation, thinks he's absolutely the best env
And in a prepared statement, Budig said, "Burge Hank has done an extraordinary job at KU for three decades. Naming the Satellite Union to recognize its recognition he richly merits will continue far into the future."
Burge has lived and worked around college campuses all his life. A native of Iowa City, Iowa, he graduated from the University of Iowa with a business degree and was assistant director of the student union there until he took the KU job in 1952.
Burge said he had seen many changes in the Union, the campus and the students during his years at KU.
Two experiences from the past three decades stand out in his mind. ONE OF THEM, the burning of the Union in April 1970, brought back positive experiences as well as negative, Burge said.
He was at home when the fire broke out. When he arrived at the Union, about 100 students were
assisting firemen in saving furnishings.
"On that occasion, I was extraordinarily proud of the students in the way they responded in saving art objects and furnishings," he said.
The Haas-Wilkerson Insurance Co., which settled the University's claim in the fire, was so grateful for the students' help that it donated money for a scholarship fund, Burge said.
Although the 1960s was a time of Vietnam War protest and student unrest, Burge said, most KU students were not educated and did not cause problems.
BURGE SAID Louis Armstrong's appearance at the Union Ballroom also stood at his mind. Armstrong and his orchestra played for free after KU lost to North Carolina in the 1957 National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball finals.
The KU basketball team, which included Will Chamberlain, was not scheduled to return to Lawrence until late that night, Burge said, but bundles of students showed up to welcome the team home.
"The party went on into the wee hours of the morning," Barge said. "By the time it was all over, the students had gotten over the disappointment of a last-minute loss in the national championship."
Burge also recalled the campus visits by Presidents Truman and Ford as memorable.
BURGE SAID HE had noticed a slight change in students' attitudes in the past few years.
"Right now, they're very committed to their education because they realize it is important to get them equipped with sophisticated job market," he said.
Burge said he would spend his retirement working on his favorite hobby, gardening, as well as keeping up with KU events.
"I want to continue to enjoy the culture and life of the University and the city of Lawrence," he said.
Craig Stanciliffe, assistant district attorney, said the suspects allegedly store $23,680 from the south branch of the First National Bank of Lawrence. All but $21 has been recovered, he said.

Student committee plans to formulate legislation
By SARA KEMPIN Staff Reporter
The Student Senate rights committee will break with tradition and formulate more legislation on its own, the chairman said yesterday. The committee usually only considers legislation submitted by student senators.
"WE HAVE A good cross section of students on the committee this seme-
ter, 'Walker said. "And this will allow me to debate, something I welcome good."
Robert Walker, chairman of the Senate Rights, Privileges and Responsibilities committee, said that some senators might consider the move to allow a constitutional committee to consider in-house legislation more than it had in the past.
The committee met Monday to set its agenda for the next year, Walker said. The committee will look into a proposal that students can appeal grades, he said.
Now, if a student gets an “F” in a class and doesn’t think he deserves it, there is nothing he can do, be said. The teacher has the final say in the matter.
The committee also will consider using a different appeals process for students who want to change their education. University of Kansas, Walker said.
"Some students have had problems changing from a special to a regular
student status and we want to check into why they have had such trouble," Walker said.
WALKER SAID THE committee also discussed whether beer should be sold in the stadium

Last semester the committee decided not to let the Senate vote on the issue.
Walker said he thought that a referendum should be held on the issue of marijuana.
"We're taking a lot of heat for the issue," he said. "We should give it to the
David Ambler, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said that nobody ever denied that the ultimate decision matters in the hands of the administration.
HE SAID HE hoped the committee was not suggesting holding a referendum at the expense of further talks with the administration about the issue.
A referendum cannot substitute for good judgment, he said.
Another issue the committee discussed was whether the University could give some sort of award letter to recognize students involved in extra curricular activities, such as band, forensics or sports clubs.
Janitors clear away daily mess in Art and Design

have expressed their appreciation in letters to Richard Bevis, assistant teacher.
But by the time droom-eyed students come to class in the morning, classrooms are neat and hallways are free of debris.
At 5 a.m. every weekday, five custodians start picking up, sweeping, mopping and buffing the Art and Design building. "ITS THEIR willingness to do a little beyond what they are expected to do that is really great," Kay Henry, administrative officer for the School of Fine Arts, said yesterday.
Brenda Paul, the building's resident supervisor, said that since her crew began working the day shift in May, communication with the faculty had

Much of the work done in the building involves dyes, paint, and other messy materials, she said, and the custodians keep classrooms and studios clean.
Paul said some tasks, such as stripping, wailing and buffing a hallway, needed to be done before people came into the building, so the crew teamed up to get the job done quickly in the early morning.
After conferring with each other, the custodians go to their floors and their first job — picking up all the trash in the building.

He tries to sweep the hall and clean the bathrooms before 8 a.m. when people start to fill the building.
Then, Alexander says, he works on small jobs that he can do around people, such as be dusting, mopping or cleaning carpets in empty classrooms, offices and studios. Or he might help another crew member with a project that they agreed to do earlier that morning.
PAUL SAID that after returning at noon from their hour lunch break, the crew usually worked in teams, doing things such as dusting the tops of lockers and cleaning vents and baseboards until the end of their day.
