Writing center keeps its funds
By SUSAN BROSSEAU
Staff Reporter
The Communications Resource Center will continue for another year to serve students who have writing problems.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences decided yesterday to continue financing the CHC at current levels, and will not change. Adams, associate dean of the college.
Since the CRC's inception in 1978, both its budget and the number of its student customers have declined. In its first year, the CRC had a budget of $1,300 for year's budget was $1,300. Michael Johnson, the CRC's director, said recently.
During the 1981 spring semester, 149 students used the service. Last semester, only 33 students did, according to department statistics.
THE DECREASED financing was responsible for the declining student participation, Johnson said, because it had resulted in a lower advertising budget and necessitated a change in the nature of the center.
Until this fall, the center kept hours convenient to students' schedules. The staff was paid whether or not there were students to help. Johnson said.
Students must now make appointments for help and this change has made the service more cost-efficient, he said.
Reduced budgets everywhere have created the need to eliminate such waste and to rearrange priorities, Johnson said.
"Chools must be made," he said. "If it is a choice between classes and the center, we would rather spend the money on the classes."
JOHNSON SAID, however, that the center served a need and it should be expanded.
"But students with problems would be far better off taking a class than using the service," he said.
One student who has benefited from the service believes that CRC, in conjunction with classes, was helpful.
"A teacher can refer a student with a problem when he does not have the time to give." Aimee Stallworth, Hartell. Al., graduate student said.
Stallworth was referred to the service by a teacher who had noticed a problem in her writing.
Pat Catto, CRC staff member, who assisted Stallworth with her problems, also supports the program. However, Catto said, she believed the program should be open to English 050, 101, 102 or 203 students.
Catto she enjoyed working on CRC's staff and thought it was a good way to earn extra money.
THEY ARE THE ones who need the most help, she said.
"You become, very quickly, interested in the students' work on a one-to-one basis and you get a peek into other disciplines," she said.
Most of the students she has helped, she said, were graduate students who had not yet learned to write well.
"They are given a writing assignment and they don't know how to handle it," she said.
She gives them suggestions on where to start, she said.
Students have various difficulties, Catto said, but organization and pronoun reference problems are most common.
Hocson said the center did a lot of ad hoc business—"when a student is having a particular problem with a paper in a particular course."
A student who should use the CRC, he said, is one who finds he is having trouble doing work equal to his ability in a course because of problems with
Students wishing to use the center should call the freshman-sophomore English department office at 864-4523 and arrange an appointment.

Watkins to show other medical fields
The laboratory tours, from 12:30 to p. m. Monday, April 12, through Friday, April 16, will mark Watkins' parade and National Medical Laboratory Weeks.

there are a lot of paramedical fields," Detlor said.
Dellor said demonstrations set up in the lab would show the various kinds of lab work that the nine registered registrants at Waskin perform every day.
She said the work included blood counts, blood banking, liver function tests, syphilis tests, urinalysis and coagulation studies.
One of the purposes of the open house, Detlor said, was to show KU students who had not decided their majors the
"It's a good field for men, as well as women," Detlor said, who has been with Watkins for 45 years.
The fire damaged three cars. One of the cars, a 1970 Triumph worth about $500, was inside the garage and was destroyed, said Jim Woydiak, department training engineer.
SHE SAID some of the career opportunities were in bacteriology, chemistry and histology.
"Histo-technologists deal with tissues and prepare them for doctors to examine under the microscope," Detlor said.
"It's a very interesting field and sounds kind of repulsive until people find out about it."
A fammable liquid was probably used to ignite the fire, which started about 4 p.m., according to Jim McSwain, Lawrence fire chief.
Two other cars were parked outside the garage, one in a neighbor's driveway, Woydziak said.
A fire that may have been arson caused more than $9,000 damage to a garage and three cars Wednesday at the St. Clare St. fire officials said yesterday.
On the record
The fire cannot be officially called arson until lab results confirm the report, fire officials said.
No charges have been filed.
KU POLICE ARRESTED a 25-year-old KU student Wednesday at Watson Library for lewd and lascivious behavior.
Police arrested Mark S. Messina, Overland Park senior, after he allegedly exposed himself to, or engaged in, what was identified as student who was studying in the library.
Messina was released from Douglas County Jail on $1,000 bond and will make his first appearance in court April 13.
KU POLICE reported a bomb threat about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at McCollum Hall. Police said a suspect called the front desk and, "Because of the louse food, I was taken to 6 p.m." There have been no arrests.

Numbers govern money for athletic scholarships
By BARB EHLI Staff Reporter
There is more involved in granting scholarships to athletes than having them sign on the dotted line.
Rules, residency and equivalency ratios govern who receives scholarships and how much money they get.
"The Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women counts noses," Pat Collinson, administrative assistant for the athletic department, said recently, "with each athlete receiving aid, no matter what the amount."
She said the AIAW's rules allowed coaches to give aid to 12 players, and that could mean 12 full scholarships or 12 scholarships of $1 each.
"The amount of money is not important," she said. "It's the number of athletes."
The reason for this rule, Collison said, was that when schools first became members of the AIAW, many did not have a lot of scholarship aid
USING A BASEBLE BALL team as an example, she said, "Forty-right people could get one-fourth of a full scholarship, and up to more than 12 full scholarships."
"They didn't want one school with $3,000 to siphon all the talent off of others," she said. "Now that more money, more dollars, it doesn't work as well."
Each sport is allotted a certain amount of money under the rules of that national Collegiate Athletic society. In some cases, scholarships as it wants, as long as it
does not exceed the budgeted amount. Collinson said.
"The funds for full scholarships are not as much for an in-state student as for an out-of-state student," she said.
She said that $2,843 for a Kansas resident would equal $4,159 for a non-resident, because out-of-state athletes had higher expenses.
SHE SAID the NCAA based its scholarships on equivalency ratios. For example, a full scholarship for a Kansas resident would be $2,843, while a full scholarship for an out-of-state resident would be $4,150. Under the scholarship plan, there would be a difference of about $2,000, would have an equivalency of 1.
A $2,000 scholarship divided by the $4,159 tuition amount of a non-resident would equal a 481, or almost one-half, equivalency. A $2,000 scholarship offered to a resident would be divided by the $6,000 tuition amount or almost three-fourths, equivalency.
Collison said that she figured the equivalency on the scholarships by taking the amount of money athletes received and dividing it by the amount of a full scholarship, depending on whether the athlete was a resident.
Collison said coaches depleted their budgets less quickly if they had more recruits from Kansas. The coaches could continue to give scholarships until either the money or the equivalency was used up.
SHE SAID that coaches could also divide the money and pay only partial scholarship费. A full scholarship consists of room and board, tuition, books, books and supplies.
