Graduate School to Be Decentralized
By TERRY SHIPMAN
Kanean Staff Writer
Decentralization of the Graduate School, long a topic of discussion at the University of Kansas, is now becoming a
According to William P. Albrecht, dean of the Graduate School, the individual departments and colleges will assume complete control of the students in their departments
This action was included in a plan recommended by the Graduate Council to Chancellor. The Council also included are provisions for the combining of graduate studies and research administration procedures; a continuation of the Graduate Council as a control of general policy and the approval and review of new and established programs.

Advantages of decentralized control include unity within the department, quicker processing, and reduced travel time. Offer more personalized service to graduate students. The major department has its own system, according to Clifford D. Clark, dean of the School of Business, is the tendency of the department.
THIS TENDENCY WILL be kept in check at KU by the Graduate Council, or a special committee of high standards throughout the departments. Clark emphasized that there would not necessarily be any arbitrary limits set, but the system would be the key to the system.
According to Albrecht, a similar program was proposed in 1866 and gained support, but was dropped by the 1875 program was completely dropped by the 1868, but was the one by the 1875 which is going into effect this year.
Dean Clark said that the program met more approval this time because of the change in topography. Mr. Scott, dean of the School of Education agreed, but also said he would not wait for tipe for such a change in 1986.
THE CHANGE TO decentralized control will affect the professional schools, such as Education and Business, very as they are as a system of their students' records themselves. The ones affected

most, according to Scennell, will be the colleges of liberal arts and perhaps the School of Nursing since it is departmentalized.
Graduate school enrollment has increased this fall, in spite of a decrease in the total number of students. Dean Abbrecht. He attributed the decline in student aid to the state of the nation's economy, and said he felt the lack of funds was due to a shortage, but was general throughout KU.
THE CUTBACK in student aid has affected some schools more than others, according to Clark, who said that his school was
hardly affected at all. Albrecht said that the hardest hit fields were mathematics and some departments of engineering.
SOME GRADUATE students return to school after finding that they couldn't get the job or type of degree. Mr. Albrecht's bachelors degree, Albrecht said. He added that most graduate students are in their studies in graduate work.
Many KU graduate students are studying for their advanced degrees in fields other than the core bachelor's degrees. This is due to part to natural changes in a person's goals, but Clark feels that this does not explain his opinion is that the lower portions of the educational system are failing to prepare the student for life after their career. This, he said, results in much disillusionment when the student finds out what he has learned. Albrecht said that a large proportion of the switches were to medicine and law from the physical sciences and mathematics.
Demand for the person with an advanced degree on the job market has decreased somewhat in recent years. This is due, he said, to many factors, the greatest of which is the general recession. Some fields have also had a glut of jobs where only so many jobs exist.

JOB OFFERS to graduate degree holders have decreased the number of students he said. He said that the companies no longer flock to the schools, but that jobs are there for the ones who are willing to work. Clark admitted that many graduates are being forced to take the job they wouldn't have two years ago.

Scannell said that many of the graduate students in education already had jobs, and were taking graduate work to comply with requirements. He said that the masters who had gone straight through had a good deal of trouble with positions. The masters weren't as hard and for the masters of doctors, we are still in demand, he said.
Ten years ago, the 1962 Rock Chalk featured a parody of famous classics with adaptations to contemporary campus life. Classics featured were "Ivanhoe," "Machiet," "Peter Pan" and "Jason and the Golden Fleece."
Rock Chalk
Organizations participating in the first revue, and their skirts, were: Phi Kappa Pai, Billboard; Phi Kappa Gauguin; Downfall; Beta Pta Flapper Fling; Alpha Tau Omega, Your University; Sigma Kappa. Undergo a rehearsal at We Have No Talent; and Alpha Pai, A Gleiding Half and Half.
Catholic students were banned from participating in the 1969 Rock Chalk Revue. This policy was established by the church and Rock Chalk was not sponsored by a Catholic religious organization.

Also in 1962, two fraternities joined forces and scorned the help of sororites. The effort by Pihi Delta Theta and Delta Upsilon started out a joke. But as the organization discovered policy limited participation to "organized houses," did it become reality.

In an effort to encourage originality and new ideas, the traditional campus theme was dropped in favor of the Gothic. The goal was produced a new type of show built around the same elements as past revues."
