Hall directors hired in two-step process
By WARREN BRIDGES Staff Reporter
A thorough, two-step application process is being conducted in an attempt to employ the best scholarship hall directors, assistant residence hall directors and resident assistants for the student board. Residential Programs said yesterday
Ruth Mikelson, assistant director in the office, said that three information sessions would be held to explain the procedures of using the information about available positions.
Applicants must submit an application, their college transcript and two references by Feb. 7, she said.
Applicants for the positions of assistant residence hall directors and resident assistants who meet certain criteria will then be interviewed by a director of the residential programs office in 30-minute sessions, she said.
APPLICANTS CHOSEH after those interviews will be assigned an interview at two residence halls, determined by the applicant's preferences.
At each of the two halls, a committee comprising a present staff member of the hall, a hall government member, a resident at large and the resident director of the hall will interview the candidate, she said.
The final decisions are then made and an alternate pool is selected, she said.
Those selected to the alternate pool may later be assigned to a position.
The office will notify all applicants of its decisions by April 8, she said.
Joyce Cliff, assistant director of the office; said the scholarship application process involved a joint selection when the residents of the hall and Cliff.
Each candidate meets with a selected in-hall committee and meets the entire class of candidates.
The Hall then submits a recommendation to Cliff that ranks the hall's first three choices, and she makes the final decision.

Classified employees want merit increase
Gov. John Carlin's decision to propose a 4 percent salary increase for the Kansas Board of Regents faculty and classified employees is fair when considering the state's current financial crisis, KU faculty and staff leaders said yesterday.
However, representatives of KU classified employees objected to Carlin's exclusion of a 1.5 percent merit pay increase.
Carlin approved the merit pay increase last year for the 1982 fiscal budget, but decided in May 1982 to money allocated for merit pay increases.
James Seaver, chairman of the University Senate Executive Committee, said Carlin's decision to reduce the 9 percent salary increase requested by the Kansas Board of Regents did not surprise him.
Both faculty and staff members want
"IN TIMES of difficulty, professors and everyone in the state have to make sacrifices," he said. "I guess I was pretty prepared for this."
pay raises, he said, but understand that the state cannot afford them.
Suzanne Cupp, president of the KU Classified Senate, agreed that the 4 percent increase was fair when considering the state's economic woes. The Classified Senate represents about 1,700 persons who work as clerks, accountants, secretaries and other staff positions at the University.
However, Cupp said that her group was angry because Carlin did not reinstate money for the merit pay increase.
State employees, which include KU classified employees, received a 6.5 percent cost-of-living increase last year.
CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES had thought that Carlin might include the merit pay increases as part of the 1984 budget, she said.
"When you're not rewarded for
merit, it's very demoralizing," she said.
because of the tight state budget, some vacancies are not being filled and classified employees have had to expand their work responsibilities, she
Cupp said various members of the Classified Senate planned to travel to Topeka to voice their concerns to the legislators.
Classified employees have taken vacation to travel to Topeka on their own, often at the invitation of legislators and state employees interests, she said.
IN ADDITION, Joe Collins, legislative liaison for the Classified Senate, regularly talks to Lawrence area legislators to keep them informed about classified employees' concerns, Cumm said.
Collins said he was disappointed that
classified employees were given only a 4 percent salary increase, especially because they received no merit pay increase last year.
"I think, I would hope, that the Legislature would take into consideration that the classified employees deserve more," he said.
COLLINS SAID he thought the Legislature would be more sympathetic to the plight of university faculty and classified employees and would raise their salary increase to 5 percent, while recommending a lower salary increase for elementary and secondary teachers.
That may be possible because of favorable sentiment toward university faculty and classified employees in the Lenslature, he said.
Collins said the motivation of the classified employees demands was not limited to the need to learn.
