Selection process ends for residence hall staffs
By JAN BOUTTE Staff Reporter
The 1982-43 staffs for the eight University of Kansas residence halls were announced yesterday by the office of the College President. We were notified of the selections by mail.
All the hall directors from this year are expected to return, Ruth Mikkelsen, associate director of the office residential programs, said today.
Mikkelson said the number of applications was up significantly this year.
Eleven assistant resident hall directors were named and 66 resident assistants were selected from more than half of the graduating the two-month selection process.
"I think the student financial aid crunch and the employment outlook caused the interest," she said.
NEW RAs receive $700 and a single room contract in exchange for their services. Residential programs officials estimated the compensation at $3,500. Contract prices vary among the eight residence halls.
RAs who have already been part of a residence hall staff receive $756 for the year along with the hall contract. Thirty-seven of the 66 RAs for next year will be returning staff members, Mikkelson said.
She said that returning RAs generally help strengthen the staffs because of their experience.
"Occasionally, some get burned out, but most returning staff members have the edge of knowing the position, the background, and the real leaders 'n their staffs," she said.
For the 29 new staff members, the
residential programs office conducts special training sessions, and the RAs are required to enroll in a special two-hour class, "Study in Staff Skill Enhancement and Administration," during the fall semester.
during RESIDENCE HALL staffs must also report back a week early in the fall semester for workshops.
In addition to the 66 RAs selected, 43 applicants were designated alternates who would be considered for positions when openings in the staff occurred.
Mikkelson said that openings were not uncommon. Last year, 10 positions opened in the time between the beginning of the fall term and the beginning of the fall term, she said.
Applications for RA positions were accepted in February from students with at least a 2.5 grade point average and 30 credit hours. The applicants went through two rounds of interviews, the first with the selection committee and the second at the individual halls which the applicants applied to.
APPLICANTS WHO had been members of the staff this year went through a shortened form of the interviewing process.
Current members of the hall staffs, hall government representatives and hall residents took part in interviewing with applicants.
Mikkelson said evaluations by the interviewers were made available to the applicants who wanted to see them.
"At least 12 people's perceptions of how they've done, if they've made it all the way through, were available," she said.
Mikkelson said this open policy was important to the educational aspect of education.
"I really feel that we are an American nation," he said, one of its one way we can fulfill this mission."

DA investigates Greeks' report of fraud
By BECKY ROBERTS Staff Reporter
Eight KU fraternities and sororites reported a fraud involving more than $3,000 to the Lawrence Police Department Tuesday.
Bruce Harris, Delta Upsilion house manager, told police that a Kansas City, Kan., commercial artist had taken orders for Rock Chalk sweat-shirts from each of the eight houses that he built. The artist did not deliver the product.
Mike Malone, Douglas County district attorney, said his office was investigating the case before it took any action.
The artist, Catherine S. Farley, was not available for comment yesterday.
HARRIS SAID Farley had offered to design the annual Rock Chalk sweatshirts for the eight houses.
"She came into town and talked to each house and took their orders. She promised the shirts on Feb. 3," Harris said.
The houses that ordered shirts were: Delta Upsilon, Kappa Alpha Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, Pi Beta Phi, Sigma Chi, Delta Beta, Beta Theta PI and Chi Omega.
Farley took checks for the purchases when she took the orders. But when the Feb. 3 delivery day arrived, none of the sweatshirts were delivered.
"We thought it was just taking a little longer because so many houses made orders," Harris said.
Margaret Kraemers, a Denver senior and Kappa Alpha Theta member, said, "Finally she called me on Feb. 5 and sent her the email." But she played in St. Louis because of the snow."
ON FEB. 5, Farley promised the houses the shirts would be delivered by Feb. 10. When the shirts had not arrived
"She promised me she'd have them here on the 13th," Kraemers said.
by Feb. 12, Kraemer called Farley's residence in Kansas City.
"We finally told her at one point that we wanted a full refund. And she promised that she'd have our shirts here or we'd get the money back."
On Feb. 13 the shirts still had not been delivered. Kraemers, Harris and members of the other houses involved repeatedly to get in touch with Farley.
"She wouldn't answer her phone and other times she had the phone off the hook. At one point we reported to the phone company." Kreemers said.
Anne Cortoppasi, Pi Beta Phi house president, said, "Eventually we did get a hold of her by calling her late at night."
FARLEY TOLD the houses that her brains were handling the matter. Kraema said.
On Feb. 16, Farley told Harris that she was having transportation problems and could not get the sweatshirts to Lawrence right away.
"It was the most frustrating thing I've ever dealt with," Kraemers said.
BEFORE SPRING BREAK began,
Harris and members of the other groups decided what to do about the money they had given Farley.
On Feb. 19 Kraemers again tried to call Farley. She got a telephone recording telling her the phone had been disconnected.
"We finally went down to Morris
lift, but he wasn't ready.
It kept wacky and were really pleased.
Harris filed the report with the police department and the houses are now waiting to see what action the district attorney's office will take.
"We're ready to go to court with the matter and press charges," Harris said.
School of Fine Arts takes on 13 advisory board members
Eleven KU alumni and two other people have joined the board of advisers for the School of Fine Arts.
The new alumni members of the board are Richard Star, Hays; Camilla Cave, City City; Barbara Nash, Cave Dodge, Foster; Jodie Slawson and Barbara Wagon, an Wichta; Marjorie Schnacke, Topeka; Barbara Nordling, Hugaton; Linda Stewart, Hugaton and Patti Johnson Wilson, Tusla.
The two new non-alumni members are Jean Hiersteer, Fairway, and Jerry Berkowitz, Kansas City, Mo.
The holdover alumni members of the board are Polly Bales, Logan; Richard Fanoil, Mike Mission; Anne Jeter, Hays; William W. Hambleton, director of the Kansas Geological Survey; and non-alumni Hans Archenbil, Shawnee Mission; Jack Coleman and Joseph Pichler, both from Hutchinson; and honorary Chairman Evelyn Swarthout Hayes, Washington, D.C.
JAMES MOESEER, dean of the school, formed the board in 1977, Jean Mattison, administrative assistant to Moeser, said recently. The school sought new members for the board after five members of the former 13-member board resigned earlier this year.
The holder members of the board and other KU supporters suggested that a new policy should be adopted.
recommended them to Chancellor Gene A. Budig, Mattison said. Budig sent formal invitations to them, and they all accepted.
"All have a very strong love for KU and interest in its well-being," she said. "They also have an interest in the arts."
MATTISON SAID the board was designed to provide the school with outside information on problems, possible new programs, private funding, expansion of existing programs and recruitment of students.
Moeser said the board met every fall and spring. At its meeting in February, the board suggested more tours by faculty and student artists and performers, and more recruiting publications about the school as ways to engage students in the state and region and the maintenance of current enrollment.
"One of the main goals of the board is to acquaint the people of Kansas with the school and its programs," Mattison said.
The new appointments took effect last month, Mattison said. The board members have no limit to their tenure.
On the record
Two 17-year-old juveniles, charged in connection with last Friday's $1,550 armed robbery of J.B.'s Big Boy Family Restaurant, 740 Iowa St., were detained yesterday in Douglas County jail.
The juveniles will remain in jail until they face disposition hearings, Mike Malone, Douglas County district attorney said yesterday.
Because the men are 17, their trial can be waived to adult court if they have long previous juvenile records, Malone said. Juveniles who are 16 or 17 can have their trials waived to adult court.

Malone said officials were investigating another person involved in the case, but no arrests had been made.
Three people robbed J.B.'s Big Boy Family Restaurant, after following two employees into the manager's office, forcing the manager to open the safe and shutting the employees and the manager in a walk-in cooler. Two knives and a can of mace were used in the robbery.
