Social welfare program expands to KC
By MARK ZIEMAN Staff Reporter
The KU School of Social Welfare has expanded its services to include a bachelor of social welfare program in Kansas City, Kam, and a graduate program here on campus members of the school said last week.
"Kansas City was the only major metropolitan area in the United States that did not have a publicly supported undergraduate social welfare program, Richard Spano, director of undergraduate programs in social welfare.
"We went from the assumption that from the millions of people in Kansas City, there must be 30 in an undergraduate program."
THE SCHOOL SPENT two years with area junior colleges preparing
courses that would meet the school's requirements, Spano said, and this semester, for the first time, 12 full-time students enrolled in social welfare courses at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
"The program is exactly the same as the program in Lawrence, including teachers." he said. "We rotate our teaching schedules."
Spono said that the school hoped to increase the size of the class by next year, but regardless of the numbers, Mr. Spono said he would be with the Kansas City students.
"The faculty was particularly excited about seeing so many older students," he said.
Spano said that many of the students had experience in social work and that the average age of the students is 33.
"They're good students with a very strong potential. They've got a lot of life experience."
Spano said the cost of adding the Kansas City section was absorbed by the school's existing resources, and the department's incident enrollment, not aids or grants.
THE COST OF the school's doctoral program was similarly absorbed, Ann Wetck, associate professor of social welfare, said.
"The Legislature has not funded a number of programs in recent years," Weck said, "and we were going to get new funding for this program."
Like the undergraduate program in Kansas City, the doctoral program has been in the works for several years, Weick said, and the school was ready, financially and academically, this semester.
"We admitted our first class of six doctorate students," she said. "It completes our educational program, and a new program of research in
any field is always a contribution to any university."
DOCTORATE STUDENTS must have a master's degree plus three years of professional social-work experience, other requirements, Weck said.
"We should have 15 to 18 students in the program at any one time," she said.
The University of Kansas is the only Big Eight school to have a Ph.D. program in social welfare, and although this semester's doctoral class is small, Weick said that he will increase the program to increase in size.
CURRENTLY, there are about 500 students enrolled in the School of Social Welfare. The B.S.W. and the M.S.W. programs are offered in Lawrence and Kansas City, Kan. The Ph.D. program is offered in Wichita. Lawrence is the only campus offering the Ph.D. program.
Injuries, allergies fill Watkins this term

Injuries and allergies are more common this semester among the throng of allying KU folk who fill the waiting room in Watkins Memorial Hospital, a hospital administrator said yesterday.
"We haven't accumulated statistics for September," said Martin Wollmann, physician and director of the Student Health Service, "but injuries and allergic symptoms have been much heavier than normal."
than the average number of allergy patients have come in.
"We have noticed a heavier preponderance of these afflictions than on the average," he said. "It's more likely now that it will be in a month or two."
Although students have reported many "cold" symptoms, Wolllmann said, many people may really be sufferers from hay fever or asthma conditions.
Common colds last between 24 and 48 hours, and are characterized by a runny nose and an absence of fever, he said.
Other afflictions often lumped into the general category of "colds" may be caused by viruses, allergies or strep bacteria, he said.
"Most people tough it out and get over colds," Wollmann said. "Good judgment must be used. If a fever lasts more than two or three days, the person has to leave."
Often, a cold may be overcome with regular remedies, he said, adding that there is really no cure for the common cold.
Drink drinks, take a decongestant, gargle if you have a sore throat and, if possible, get some extra rest if you've noticed cold symptoms, he said.
To prevent the spread of colds, people should take care to cover their mouths and noses when coughing or sneezing, he said. The disease is transmitted by minute drops of liquid released into the air when someone cusses or sneezes.
Shots are available at the hospital for allergy sufferers, Wollmann said. About 4,000 allergy shots are administered at the hospital each year.
come in multiple times," he said.
Some gastro-intestinal problems have been diagnosed, but no cases of influenza have been reported this semester, he said.
"Of course some of those patients come in multiple times," he said.
Flu shots will be available after tomorrow, Wollmann said. Any student can get one, but priority will be given to those with chronic illness or who are over age 62.
Students are not charged for outpatient examinations at the hospital, although there is a charge for medications and X-rays.
Emporia prof awaits settlement
U. S. District Judge Richard Rogers still has not made a final decision regarding the settlement for Rodney Michele of the State University economics professor.
Rogers is awaiting briefs from both the defense and the presecution, Pat Haley, law clerk, said Friday.
After Rogers hears the arguments, he will issue an opinion, Haley said.
"We haven't heard arguments from both parties," he said.
Emporia State has filed a motion for a new trial, Haley said.
defendant's motion for a new trail or deny it," Haley said.
'The judge will either grant the
If he denies it, the verdict will stand and the only course left to Emporia is to ask.
Mitchell said Emporia State administrators harassed him into resigning because of his liberal political views, and the hiring of a female faculty member.
The university and four of its officials were named in the $1.8 million federal lawsuit in which the jury awarded $15,000 in actual and punitive damages.
