Program valuable experience
By CANDICE SACKUVICH Staff Reporter
The KU associate administrators program provides administrative experience for those who would like to try administrative work without commitment, at time, and Will Hogan, associate vice chairman, Tuesday.
Four KU employee will participate in the University's Administrative Associates Program during the 1982-83 academic year, Hogan said.
"An associate works with a major administrator in the University on a part-time basis for one semester."
the associates chosen to participate in the program during the 1983-85 academic year are: Jan O'Neill, classified accountant, department of humanities; Gail Hamilton, manager of staff training and development, department of personnel; Janice Kozma-Southall, associate professor of French and Italian; and Harrison Smith, associate professor of social welfare.
THE PROGRAM WAS recently restructured to attract more faculty members and to match administrative opportunities with applicants, Hogan
For the next academic year, the program will be divided into two tenured faculty positions and two nontenured positions, he said.
To qualify for the program, an applicant must be a full-time employee and submit an application, a resume and two letters of recommendation.
"We screen applicants in much the same way we would for a search process. We then interview them and choose finalists." Hogan said.
One recently chosen administrative
associate said the screening process was challenging.
Smith said that when he was notified of his appointment, "I was incredibly elated! We all had to experience a panel of strong others in Strong Hall. It was challenging."
Cunningham. Smith has taught at the University seven years, and received tenure about four years ago, he said.
He will be working half-time this fall with Deannell Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs.
"I will be attending deans" meetings, all staff meetings and working on special projects that are yet unnamed," Smith said.
HAMILTON WILL be working with Richard Mann, director of institutional research.
"I plan to interview some people in the department to get a better idea of what I will be doing." Hamilton said.
She said she was interested in the effect that computers and technology would have on human resources.
"Offices are changing from the file cabinets and typewriter systems. The change will affect students, faculty, administrators, staff—all of us." Hamilton
Associates continue to work about 20 hours a week at their regular jobs, and the program provides funds to make up for their absences, Hogan said.
Students or teaching assistants are hired to work part time in associates' absences from their jobs.
An associate does not earn more money by participating in the program but continues receiving the full salary from his job, Hogan said.
"THEERE ARE NO specific awards given for participating in this program. Being chosen to participate is the award," he said.
Sherry Kopf, classified administrative officer for the comptroller, described her experience with the program as positive.
Several former associate administrators agreed.
"I assisted on a payroll study, and I was personally involved in learning to prepare an administrative report and inform the administrator's point of view," Kopf said.
Rubbing elbows with administrators was interesting, she said.
"I got to meet all sorts of exciting administrators on a more personal level. It was interesting to note that some of them were more ambitious, and others were sort of laid back." Kopf said.
"I know we often think the grass is greener on the other side, but I learned that administrators have many of the same problems as the rest of us."
Suzanne Cupp, administrative assistant to the dean of the School of Education, said that her experience as an instructor had admended my view of the University.
"I learned a lot about the inner workings of the University, especially at the UCF."
One of the first things I did was a study of retirement benefits. We contrasted classified and unclassified staff, and found that some of the differences were due to a lack of communication."
CUPP CITED that some retired faculty members received free University Theatre tickets but that no retired classified employees received them.
"Now, because we solved the communication problem, everyone who retires from the University gets free tickets," she said.
"I think that was a positive outcome of the program for me."

LPOA hires attorney, but city action uncertain
Lawrence Police Officers Association members had not signed their 1983-84 contract as of yesterday, and Jack McClain, the city's employee relations
The city has not decided what action to take if LPOA members do not sign the disputed work agreement by the Wednesday deadline, she said.
"We're still taking a wait-and-see attitude," said McClain, also the city's chief negotiator.
The LPOA voted Sunday not to sign the agreement, and authorized its executive board to hire an attorney for legal counsel.
The LPOA's attorney, Burk-head, said yesterday that he met with police officers and "discussed several options with them." He said they would be meeting soon to vote on a plan of action and not say when that meeting would be.

Albough the LPOA maintained that the city's best offer included a 13.5 percent increase over two years, McClain said earlier in the week that her new deal was based on a final offer could be different from the one proposed during mediation.
