BOCO plans social activities
Honoring favorite professors is part of group's scheduled events
By Lara Weber Kansan staff writer
Student representation at the University of Kansas is not limited to writing budgets and passing legislation.
Some organization has to plan social events as well, and at KU, that organization is the Board of Class Officers.
BOOO consists of 16 members, an elected president, vice president, treasurer and secretary from each class.
The officers, except for the freshmen, are elected each spring by members of their respective class to serve their terms the following school year. The freshman class elects its officers in the beginning of the fall semester.
Unlike Student Senate, which is responsible for allocating approximately 81.3 million in student activity fees to student organizations, BOCO deals mostly with the planning of social events for KU students.
"We don't set guidelines or allocate money," said Bill Kovack, senior class president. "Senate's more of a governing body. We're in charge of
In addition to social activities, such as homecoming, parties and concerts, BOCO organizes the selection process for the H.O.P.E. award and the CLASS award. The awards are designed to allow students to express their appreciation for favorite professors at the University.
The CLASS award is a citation for leadership and achievement in stud-
H. O.P.E. stands for Honors for Outstanding Progressive Educators. The senior officers are currently the most of their time working on the award.
The senior class also organizes commencement activities for seniors, such as the commencement breakfast and senior party.
"After Nov. 4, when we give out the H.O.P.E. award, things will taper off until next year," Kovack said.
Kovack said he also was working on a surprise event to occur sometime in the spring for all KU students but wouldn't give any details.
The junior class officers devote their time to homecoming activities
Greg Hughes, junior class president, said that the officers spent about 200 hours planning homecoming events, such as obtaining dignitary cars, selecting float entries and plotting the parade route.
He said they received a lot of help from other organizations, such as Student Union Activities and KU Bands.
Hughes said BOCO usually raised about $10,000 to $15,000 through class cards.
"BCOC does things that students don't notice so much." Hughes said. "But they'd notice if the things didn't get done. It's a good organization that very few people know about just because it does low-profile events."
BOCO finances its activities through class dues that students have the option of paying when they pay fees. For paying the $10 dues, students receive a class card that entitles them to discounts at various Lawrence businesses and discounted admission to BOCO-sponsored events.
"It's not very big, but big enough to do small things and facilitate things that need to be done," he said.
Med Center moves infant care unit
By Melanie Matthes Kansan staff writer
Some patients at the University of Kansas Medical Center yesterday were transferred to a new unit that will provide a more stable and positive environment.
Renovation of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Med Center was completed last week, said William Topper, associate professor of pediatrics and director of the unit, and 23 critically ill and premature infants moved into the facility yesterday.
"The renovation was aimed at improving the facility and giving attention to the infants' environment," he said. "We will have better control over the amount of noise and light surrounding the infants."
Jessie Charpentier, head nurse of the unit, said that infants who stayed in the unit for a long time often were afraid when they went home to a
room that was dark and quiet because they weren't used to it.
"They have no idea of day and night when they are here for so long," she said. "A lot of times, when the parents take the baby home, they have to keep the lights and a radio on in the baby's room until he adjusts."
Each Hill-Rom unit, the name of the crib where the infant is attached to medical monitors and equipment, has its own set of lights that can be adjusted according to he infant's needs, she said. There are four light settings, ranging from a dim twilight to flourescent lights.
The new unit will use sound baffles and indirect lighting to control the infants' environment, Charpentier said.
Sound baffles that are placed over each unit will help the nurses communicate with each other without interrupting the nurse's voices to the infants. Charpentier said.
Topper said that the Med Center
administrators approached the Legislature three years ago about the unit's renovation. The renovation was budgeted at $500,000, and construction began six months ago.
Although only four beds were added to the unit, the patient care area doubled, he said. The new 26-bed unit will increase efficiency and will maximize the space used.
Charpentier said the old unit often was overcrowded and the infant's cribs were cluttered with medical tubes, monitors and equipment. The new unit will make the cribs more efficient by getting much of the necessary equipment out of the way.
"The parents won't be so overwhelmed when they visit their baby," she said. "I think a lot of times, when they see all the tubes and cords hanging from the ceiling and a little baby in the middle, it looks like something from a science fiction movie."
New garage eases campus parking pains
By Liz Hueben
Kansan staff writer
Lisa Zurovsky will have an earlier time finding a parking space now that the new parking facility opened Monday.
"I was late for classes almost every day before because I was looking for parking spaces," said Rachel Woods, who now parks at the faculty.
The facility, just north of Allen Field House, has 778 parking spaces, with 400 spaces for visitors, 123 for staff, and 123 for staff and 124 for faculty.
The Parking Department moved into the new facility earlier this month from its old offices in Hoch Auditorium.
The students, faculty and staff who were approved by the department have been issued garage permits, which are plastic computer cards that allow them to enter and exit the garage free of charge, said Donna Hultine, assistant director of the Parking Department.
She said priority for granting the permits went to graduate teaching assistants, graduate students and upper-level students in Green Hall, Learned Hall, Murphy Hall, Summerfield Hall, Allen Field House, Parrott Athletic Center and Robinson Center.
Visitors are charged 50 cents an hour to park in the facility.
A visitor must pay inside the parking department's office before leaving the garage, a system known as "central cashiering," said Paul Clish, field applications project engineer for Federal APD, the Michigan-based company that installed the system.
Don Kearns, director of the Parking Department, said this system was the only one of its kind in the continental United States.
The Parking Department office is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Clish said, "It's German equipment. Central cashlining is very popular in Europe but has caught on slowly in this country."
Hultine said parking officials were advertising to hire a student who would work from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. so visitors could stay open later for visitors.
Scott's never been so driven
Have fun and make better grades? Fat chance. At least that's what Scott used to think.
Before he knew just what a Macintosh computer could do.
Now he's doing more school work in less time with better results. A Macintosh gives you more time to study. That's the hardest part of school. Then, when you're ready to sit down and type your paper or design your project, the Macintosh has every tool you'll need to produce great-looking work quickly.
You'll have a powerful typewriter with correction fluid, a trash can, desk, dictionary, folders, calculator, plenty of markers and pens, rulers, scissors, glue, and a copy machine.
Plus, it's easy to learn how to use a macbook. Chances are, you'll you how in about an hour. Then the time you save making better grades can be spent having the fun you should.
e spent having the fun you should.
You'll be amazed at the results. So will your parents.
