Finances Pinch U Press
By LARRY HOLT
Kansan Staff Writer
The University Press of Kansas, despite economic problems, is growing and trying to provide a place for the students who enroll in colleges and other individuals to publish their works in Kansas.
"We are losing money right now because we are just getting tired of it," he says, "money coming in from back titles since we don't have a strong backlist," says John H. Langley, director of the University Press.
Lanley cited high costs of manufacturing and the limited capacity of its own operating deficit, but eventually expects to catch up as the market shifts.
The Board of Regents passed a
resolution Oct. 28, 1966 establishing the University Press of Kansas. This automatically created a number of Kansas Press which had been in operation since 1946. The new organization went into operation on Nov. 1, 1967.
The Press is a cooperative which includes the University of Kansas, Kansas State University. The Press also operates in conjunction with each other under the administrative control of a Board of Trustees composed of academic vice-presidents; of each individual; and of each group.
Langley is the chief executive and he is assisted in editorial decisions by a committee of nine three faculty from each university.
"This eliminates duplicate
overhead because we have one
director instead of three or four
ind three editors instead of six or
six," said Langley.
"The process, from the application of the author to the finished product, takes from nine months to a year depending on the length of the manuscript and the difficulty in getting critiques said Landy. "We publish between 10 and 13 years a year."
Promotion for selling the books is mainly based on direct mail. Six to twenty thousand pieces of direct mail on each title. Catalogs are sent to university libraries or public schools in school and industrial libraries
"After the books are printed," said Langley. "We send out review copies to journals, magazines and newspapers that
Need, Budget Determine Policy For Filling Faculty Vacancies
The policy for replacing faculty members is determined by the department and the availability of funds, according to Professor Heller, vice chancellor
By DEBBIE BAEDER
Kancon Stall Writer
The legislature allocates positions as well as money to the University. If the positions are not filled, it is possible to lose them as an admission that the university isn't really needed. Heller said.
Replacement is also dependent upon the budget. Factors such as the department and the number of students involved must be considered. Heller said, and each time a faculty member leaves, he must do so in order to whether it is really important that his position be filled.
The first decision takes place in the department. It must determine whether a new job is needed and whether it should ask permission to make the resignation.
The departmental request is given to the dean of the school, who considers data and asks questions. He must try to maintain a favorable ratio of students to members in each department.
Heller said he looked at the overall relationship of the schools and students and tried to maintain a balance.
Some universities receive money appropriations and are free to fill positions as they feel necessary. Heller said, At others, the University has a member is carefully checked. The KU policy is between those two. Much paper work must be submitted, but the hiring is done under the University's authority, minimum guidelines, Heller said.
Faculty members at KU do not sign contracts. They receive appointments by the Board of Regents and are legally, the first appointment is not complete until the interview with the insider on minutes of the Regents. The
individual signs an acceptance paper for the position and the department fills out forms for the payroll.
If a faculty member has tenure, he automatically will be reappointed. There are two ways to qualify for tenure:
1. Teach full-time for seven
  years at the academic rank of
  instructor or above. All of the
  courses does have not to be done
  at KU
2. Be at KU for five years as assistant professor or above.
Faculty members at KU must be given a year's advance notice if they wish to attend this. This means that after four years of assistant professorship or six years of being an instructor or course leader, it is decided that they will receive tenure.
The hiring of faculty members for the summer session is done by the departments.
are logical reviewers for the book depending on which type of book it is.
"The Press does not publish textbooks, which is a common prerequisite for university prizes; but they do print books which are used as supplements to texts. An example is William Allen White Lectures."
When a faculty member reaches age 70, he must retire from his teaching position at the University.
The usual print run on each book is from 1,500 to 2,000 copies. After a print run, the books are put in a warehouse until sold.
"It usually takes some time to get rid of them, because they do not sell as quickly as a trade agent," she added. "orders waited." Langley said.
The director is responsive to screening proposals that come in. If he thinks the manuscript is good, he will get two outside critics to review it and two good reviews it will go to the editorial board where the final decision is made on whether the book should be published. If they decide the manuscript should be published through a long process of editing.
The annual sales of the press run about $125 to $130 thousand with about $80 thousand of this going for salaries. The Press also has a total subsidy of $75 thousand from the three universities.
"The problems at Kansas (Press) are mostly mechanical ones, subject to solution through patience and organization." Langley stated. The paramount concern in co-operative press organizations is to serve all participating institutions as equally as possible.
"Neither the size of the institution nor the amount of its subsidy will provide a proper means of service. The real measure lies in how many authors with publishable manuscripts are on each campus and how high a can be published by the press."
Langley stated that any aspiring author desiring to submit a manuscript to the University Press of Kansas is licensed under the University Press of Kansas is located in *oom 368 Watson Library*
