KU Professors Skeptical of Council Report
By EMERSON LYNN
Kanson Staff Writer
The report by the Council of Chief Academic Officers (COCAO), which has recommend that the university of Kansas should place the program on provisional status, has caused several KU professors teaching those programs to doubt the report's effervescence.
The professors do not believe that streamlining the graduate programs will produce a more economical or efficient graduate program.
A novel approach to coordinate the six Kansas state colleges and universities was formalized in 1969 when, with the approval of President M. D. Cao, residents of the schools established COCAO.
The presidents asked this group to review the programs of the six institutions. The committee was directed to determine the nature and extent of duplication in the offerings of the colleges and universities and to prepare specific recommendations for

the development of a more economical and efficient system in Kansas.
KU Law Grads Appointed Assistant County Attorneys
SOME KU professors doubt that COCAO will accomplish its goals.
George Worth, professor of English and chairman of the department, said COCAO's recommendation for discontinuance of the program did not have much effect on the instructors.
"They are viewing us as many separate programs," Wiseman said. "I think they should look at the program as a whole. They should lump physics and astronomy together and consider it as one entity instead of dividing the departments."
Two 1989 graduates of the University of Kansas law school were named Wednesday as assistant county attorneys at the Douglas County commissioners meeting by incoming Douglas County attorney, David Berkowitz.
Reed served as assistant general counsel for the State Corporation Commission until last week when he ran for public office. Reed served as assistant to the county attorney Dec. 16.
THE REASON it was recommended for discontinuance. Worth said, was that the
Walker will begin work in the county attorney's office Feb. 1, after completion of Air Force ROTC obligations at Lubbock, Texas. Before entering the Air Force, he practiced law for one year in Douglas County.
Douglas J. Walker was appointed first assistant county attorney and Herman Reed, unsuccessful democratic candidate in the judge, second assistant county attorney.
The Douglas County commissioners approved salaries for the assistants and heard plans to expand law student participation in the county attorney's office.
The new program would give law students course credit for work in the office. Paul Wilson, professor of law, is coordinating the program.
Students participating in the program will
Report Summarizes Jail Facilities Survey
"Therefore, you can't tell from looking at police record, arrested and who police recorded."
"I think the council is a reasonable group," Worth said. "In the future, we have enough students who have expressed interest in the program, we will marshal them to the Board of Regents who, I sure, will give proper attention to the matter."
The group encountered several difficulties in compiling the data. Arald said,
Arnold also said the methods of record keeping employed by local law enforcement agencies were incomplete in the past, he says, "follow an offender through the system."

Criminal offenses reported to local law enforcement officers averaged about 10 a day during 1971, according to a report presented Wednesday night to the Douglas County Committee on Correctional Services and Jail Facilities.
"Police agencies use the word 'detain' in a different manner than those of us in corrections," he said. "If the police hold a suspect, they should say whether they intend to put him in jail or not."
Arnold said the survey was a "10 per cent sample" of police and court records. Six survey groups from the committee reported in conjunction with a guide issued by Clearing House on Correctional Programming and Architecture in Urbana, Ill.
UNDER THE sample system, survey workers reviewed every 10th file in studies of Sheriff's records, and also police, juvenile court, county court and district court records. Those figures were then multiplied by ten, resulting in a representative "sample" figure, Arnold said.
Bill Arnold, associate professor of sociology and a member of the committee, presented the report, which summarized the progress of a correctional facilities survey begun by the committee in May. The meeting, one of several monthly meetings organized by the committee, took place in the auditorium of the Lawrence Public Library.
DATA PRESENTED by Arnold showed that 1,260 people were detained by city police in 1971, of whom 930 were charged. The sheriff's office detained 880 people.
According to a Lawrence fireman on the scene, the fire apparently started in a second floor room where a drape caught fire from a nearby candle.
Fire attributed to a lighted candle caused about $100 damage to the Chi Omega School.

The fire, which was first spotted by passersby, destroyed the drapes, some bedding in the room and damaged the wall slightly, according to firemen.
Once the graduate programs have been dropped it would be difficult to reinstate the programs, Paul Mosfert, professor of math and chairman of the department, said.
Cases in Juvenile Court totalled 545 in 1971; in County Court, 2,680 traffic cases and 860 criminal cases; and in District Court, 70 cases.
program had not had many interested people over the last few years. He said there was not one person in the program at the present time.
Arnold noted that persons detained by the sheriff were spoken of as charged.
Arnold emphasized the data were "incomplete and preliminary" and would not provide specific recommendations about correctional facilities that the committee hoped to present to the Douglas County Commission in March.
"Data about the past don't tell you what to do in the future," he said.
"The committee hasn't made a firm decision about applying to them for funds, but if we do, it would help if we had followed their guide," he said.
ARNOLD SAID the committee used the National Cleaning House guide because it's our understanding that requests for its services are funneled into facilities are funneled into the NCH.
Committee Chairman Forest Swall said the data would be used in "developing recommendations" for the county commission.
Not all of the 14 persons who attended the meeting agreed that the data presented by Arnold were correct. Anita Strecker, a reporter for the Lawrence Journal-World, amended several figures presented by Arnold and visited the courthouse regularly as part of her work in the newspaper, and that many of Arnold's data were insufficiently researched.
THE PERSONS detained were predominantly male, the report showed. The Lawrence police detained 1,110 males and two sheriff's office, 800 males and 90 females.
Under aged groups of persons detained, persons ranging from 19 to 25 years of age, are the highest of the several age groups studied. Students under age 470, and the sheriff's office 620 in 1971.
Arnold's data also showed that of the persons "dernished" in local laws in 1971, most stayed one day or less; 1,010 in the city jail and 480 in the county jail. The next month, they were four-day stays, which showed 130 detained in the city jail and 110 in the county jail.
Keith Meyer, an associate professor of law at KU and a member of the committee, and the committee would not be able to do the work that needed. A complete records were made available.
Swall also recommended at the meeting that all local criminal justice oriented programs be coordinated through the Douglas County chapter of the recently formed Police on Crime and Delinquency. Arnold is chairman of the Douglas County chapter.
work as investigators, handle misdeemer cases and do other legal work. Berkowitz said that his program would offer extra help to the student if he office without additional cefn to the county.
"The inconsistency of these figures has to be cleared up," Meyer said, in reference to Strecker's comments.
Federal Funds For Lawrence Are Delaved
The first half of $555,000 in federal revenue sharing funds, which city officials expected to receive during the first week in March, were discussed at City Clerk Mercer, said Wednesday.
"You always have trouble in dealing with a bureaucracy," he said. "In years to come, COCAO may look back to the 1972 report on how to run government programs program then why should we reinstitute it."
Mercer said she received a letter from the Department of the Treasury's Office of Revenue Sharing in Washington, D.C., last week. The letter would receive half of the money levy.
Mercer also said she was not certain whether the check would be mailed to her or to the First National Bank of Lawrence. The City Commission authorized Mayor John Emrick on Tuesday to enter into a depositary contract with the First National Bank for purposes of depositing the revenue sharing funds, as required by federal law.
Since the city has not received the funds yet, Mercer said she did not know when to file a claim.
The Treasury Department said Tuesday that states should not be surprised if they receive less than they expected. The complicated formulas used to determine allotments will not be updated until early next year.
MOSFERT SAID that although the graduate program program was not a very active program, the faculty should be involved in deciding its future and should not be the decisions of a central judging committee that was not familiar with the program.
According to the revenue sharing plan, about 39,000 government jurisdictions will be subject to the program.
Sally Sedloy, professor of linguistics and computer science and a member of the executive council of the American institution for Peace Research (AUAP), used with Mosfet. She said the majority of 400 AUAP members were upset that COCAO didn't give the University the opportunity in deciding which of the graduate programs she discontinued or put on provisional status.
The COCAO report explains that for a graduate program to avoid being recommended discontinuance, it must produce at least five graduates over a three year period.
THOSE PROGRAMS failing to meet the productivity criteria for continuation will be identified in the annual institutional report to the Board of Regents. Normally, COCAO recommend to the council of presidents that programs be placed on provisional status.
Carl Leban, associate professor of East Asian Studies and chairman of the department, said he though the East Asian program would eventually be dropped.
He considered COCAO a facial job and its effects cosmetic.
"They are just remodeling a face without

changing the appearance of the underneath," Leban said.
He said that the master's program in East Asian Studies did not cost the department any extra money and that eliminating the smaller programs would not lower total costs of graduate programs, a by-product COCAO was aiming for.
LEBAN SAID he thought the recommendations were unhealthy for graduate programs. He said that small departments such as the East Asian department might be burdened by the guidelines and sneak students through without doing acceptable work.
"I have to keep a standard in the department," Leban said. "I think it's foolish to require each of the graduate out from a specified number of graduates. It's hard for the production plant herding so many cattle. In their requests are totally unreasonable."
