Hayden examines Regents Center
By Laura Woodward Kennebunk staff

OVERLAND PARK — At a press conference yesterday, Gov. Mike Hayden said he would give the pro-immigrant Center his highest consideration.
Hayden toured the existing Regents Center in Overland Park and was briefed by Chancellor Gene Wynn to construct a new center at 1724 I Street.
The governor said the proposed center would receive substantial consideration from the state, regardless of a full legislative agenda.
"It is a privilege to see firsthand the situation and the need," he said.
"Obviously, it's a fact that it (the
current building) has probably out lived its usefulness."
Budig said University administrators had known for years that the existing Regents Center was inadequate.
"We have spent much of the summer examining options that would be available to us," he said. "We are in a position to move ahead with construction of a new building."
Because of the limited size of the Regents Center and the need to increase space for satellite hookups and other telecommunication equipment, a new center is an important concern, Hayden said.
Since 1975, the Regents Center has
been housed in a former elementary school building at 900 Mission Road. It serves approximately 3,890 upper and graduate students a year.
Bugid estimated the cost of construction at $5 million and an additive fee of $140,000, said bugind would come from many sources, including state money, private and corporate donations and a Regents Center student fee surcharge.
Budig said that he wanted to submit a research program on the problem of alcohol abuse by January or February of 1988, and hoped to open the center for fall 1990.
chancellor, said that KU administrators were grateful for the governor's concern.
"I in delighted that Governor Hayden has come to visit the facility and see that the case we've been making is true," she said. "It's good that he came to come here and see for himself what we've been talking about."
Mary Gersh, assistant vice chancellor for the Regents Center, said she saw the proposed center as a catalyst for the conversion of all seven regents Schools.
The Overland Park City Council approved all of Budig's construction requests. Sept. 8.

He said the University already used several methods to measure how well it taught students what they needed to learn.
Brinkman said the basic question of assessment was:
How do we determine how we're doing what we say we want?
University Council questions how to measure KU's quality
For example, he said, faculty evaluate the students everyday through tests. Also, the University surveys alumni to determine whether they are satisfied with their courses and what students do to see whether emollivers are pleased with KU students.

A year ago, the Board of Regent asked the University of Kansas to come up with a plan to measure the quality of student-teacher relationships.
"I don't think assessment, as it is being proposed, is like assigning a grade." Palatan said.
"Of course, if I ask you how good you are, you're going to sav. 'Great.' Cole said."
Tomorrow, the Regents will receive a progress report from a KU assessment committee.
A final plan for assessment, which will focus on undergraduate students' basic skills, general education and knowledge of their majors, is due to the Regents in January.

Instead, he said, assessment allows professors to determine whether they made mistakes while teaching and then correct them.
