Von Ende Settled in Academia
By BOB SIMISON
Kansas Staff Writer
Politics and academies matters that have worked poorly together in Kansas recently, have become the foundation for the debate on the Middle Enrollee, acting secretary of the University of Kansas.
Von Ende, who was tapped Aug. 31 to fill the position of university chancellor, considers the promotion an important step toward his goal of becoming a university teacher and ad-
"I've always expected I'd learn to do it or around academia," Von Brueckner said Friday. "My real goal is to teach, but I've always been interested in teaching."
Von Ende worked as assistant to John Conard, director of University Relations, for two years while studying for a
master's degree and a doctorate in political science. He received the master's degree in 1971 and is still working on the doctorate
THE POSITION of an administrative assistant to Nichols appears an excellent opportunity for promotion, and operation of a major university. Von Ende said. Nichols was the first to five chancellors since 1929.
"If there's something about this University that Nichols does not know on Ende said, no probation but very much work knowing."
During his first week as executive secretary, Von Ende helped include several shelves of political science books, to the second-floor administration desk during days learning about the job.
He found out, among other things, that he was secretary to
the University Senate, the
University Council,
the University
Council and the Faculty
Council.
He also was invited to
the Senate Executive
Committee.
INVOLVEMENT in University government is nothing new for Von Ende. He was involved in the development of the University's new government system and served on the University Senate. He also was on the KU Athletic Board to the University Planning Board.
Von Ende's one venture into the world of real politics, however, ended in failure in the August primary. He was a candidate for the Patrician Republican nomination for the Kansas Legislature.
Winston Harwood, a Lawrence businessman, defeated Vende and Barry Albin, a KU law student.
teresting to run and interesting to serve," Von Ende said. "It was a very people-oriented campaign."
Von Ende said he campaigned for stronger enforcement of equal opportunity employment laws, more adequate funding for the University and enforcement of environmental protection laws.
VON ENDE said he hoped to bring the same concern for people to the office of executive secretary.
"I thought it would be in-
"I hope that my major focus is always people," he said. "I think it is important to have a university this large has to make sure the institution stays personal. Id hate for it to become a place where everybody is just a number."
"KU is still at the point to maintain personal identities. A lot of people complained about
enrolment, but that was nothing compared to some of the really large universities that have twice our enrolment."
Like Nichols, Von End
believes finances again will be
the most important problem
facient the University this year.
"PEOPLE HAVE said for years that we've gotten a lot of mileage out of our resources, but we don't need them," she said. "We have temporary buildings that look like warts on an otherwise beautiful campus. Sure, we have new building going up that won't help the Law School."
The next year dominates Von Ende's thoughts about his future, he said. Whether he will remain as executive secretary or become a senior executive 12 months from retirement, will return to the post is uncertain.
Racial Awareness Center Directed Toward Whites
By MARY LIND Kansan Staff Writer
The Racial Awareness Center will be reactivated this semester, according to Dean Kackley, Lawrence second-year law student and chairman of the steering committee for the center.
The center, in Room 104 of the Continuing Education Building, will provide books, a film, and other materials conducted at the University about racial relationships, and other information. Kailey said he also forewarns about eight racial disparities that would be sponsored by the center.
"The primary purpose of the center," he said, "is to provide a resource for students to examine relationships in a racial context.
- "THE PROGRAM IS directed
The center, which opened last fall, was funded last winter by the Pearson Trust Fund for the Cultural Enrichment of Resident Halls and by the University Human Relations Committee.
toward white students because this center recognizes that the focus has to be transferred from black students to racism to all parties involved."
In its few months of operation last spring the center sponsored eight weekend encounter workshops, Kackley said.
THE FEEDBACK from participants was positive, he said
tecipants was positive, he said. "I think it (the center) did well." Evaluations from participants were given a chance to answer one of the questions on the evaluation sheets almost all the time. We recommend the workshop to their
friends and almost without exception they said that they felt they had benefited from the experience." Kackley said.
The center is looking for a new director. The director will be paid a salary and will be expected to teach at the school week. Kackley said the director should have some experience in the area of racial awareness, and in facilitating group encounters, familiarity with reference materials and a working knowledge of the residence hall system.
APPLICANTS SHOULD call or send a resume to Kackley at the Dean of Men's Office by Sept. 18.
The center's activities are directed toward students living in residence halls because the center is funded by a trust fund (R. Pearson) and Joseph R. Pearson for use in residence halls, but the programs and services it offers are open to all students, Kackley said.

LHS Unrest Over, According to Medley
By WENDIE ELLIOTT Kansan Staff Writer
William Medley is a man who does not run away from difficult situations and he has faced some in his seven years as principal of the Lawrence High School this week the Lawrence Board of Education accepted Medley's resignation, effective Jan. 22. He was the first day of the second semester.
"If I did not think we had overcome these problems," he said, "I would not have left."
"The staff and community of Lawrence went through a period of adjustment," said the state, country, state and school area. Medley said Friday. "We hope that we handled it in such way that we are not burdened with inequities in the total program and at the same time retain the faculty." I feel is a quality high school.
"I wasn't actually seeking a new position," Medley said. "I'sm perfectly pleased with the staff and program here at Lawrence."
NEXT SEMESTER Medley will take over the principalship of Concord High School in Wilmington, Del.
He said an acquaintance in Delaware had cared for the late hie in his father's office, and he opened, Medley said he had agreed to have his credentials with him.
Normally unreceptive to job offers from other school systems, Mrs. Wilmington to see the school July to send students and to the staff
"They handed me an application, "Medley said. 'I was impressed and pleased with what I saw with 15 with the understanding that I was under contract at LHS," the writer added.
"There is probably no other school in the immediate area that I would consider over Lawrence," he said. "The educational and opportunities for students are as good as anyville."
Of favorable consideration to Medley while making his decision was Wilmington's smaller and favorable teacher-pupil ratio.
Medley said he asked the Lawrence Board of Education Aug. 15 to release him at the mutually convenient time.
"If we don't get additional funds (in LHS)," he said, "something will have to give."
"Either we increase the pupilteacher ratio, or we cut back on programs," he said. "And we can be optimistic right now."
BUT MEDLEY said he did not consider his resignation an unsurmountable obstacle to LHS.
"The curriculum and the quality of the ability of the staff are so stable that my leaving shouldn't hurt," he said.
"I could have been happy here until retirement, which is 20 years old," she said. "people who have influence on the total system should change periodically so you don't get into a situation where people for change." Medley is 44.
