University Daily Kansan, February 22, 1982 Page 3 Dole says end games start work on budget By COLLEEN CACY Staff Reporter It's time to stop playing politics and get down to work on the federal budget, U.S. Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., said Wednesday. The Chamber of Commerce Friday. He spoke to a crowd of more than 100 at a congressional forum at the All Seasons Motel, 2309 Iowa. "We're going through that two- or three-week period when Congress reacts to the president's budget," she said. "The Senate Finance Committee, said." BUDGET HEARINGS before the committee start tomorrow, when Treasury Secretary Donald Regan outline the president's proposals. Dole said high interest rates were the biggest problem with the economy today. He said President Reagan needed to act quickly to bring down interest rates soon. "He has to make some bold move to get interest rates down somehow," he said. Dole suggested that the president meet with Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul Volker to decide on a policy for lowering interest rates. Dole said that some Republicans had tried to pin the blame for the high interest rates on Volcker and Kohl, but he didn't. He says his policy, but that this was unfair. "I think Volcker would say that Congress has been piling up debt after debt, year after year. And he's right." Dole said record-high deficits in the federal budget were keeping interest rates up. "WE'VE GOT TO get a handle on the deficit," he said. "We can't afford to continue spending at current levels." Robert Dole Reagan's 1983 budget includes a $91.5 billion deficit. Dole said the proposal of Sen. Ernest Hollings, D-S.C., which would postpone Reagan's promised income tax cuts, was not the answer. "We must address the spending side. We're not going to postpone the tax cuts," he said. He said social programs would have to be cut back. "I don't think it's political suicide to say that somehow we're going to have to reduce Social Security in odd-numbered years," he said. Dole said that if the Medicare program was not cut back, it would cost the federal government $115 to $120 million a year by 1990. "Why can't we touch Medicare?" he said. "It's a program that's almost out of hand." Dole said he also favored a cutback in military spending from Reagan's proposals. He said he and other senators would begin working on an alternative to the Reagan budget that he expected his president would be willing to accept. on campus TODAY THE UNIVERSITY FILM SOCIETY will present "Blackmoll," a film by Alfred Hitchcock, at 7 p.m. in 300 Strong Hall.

SenEx passes teaching skills class plan Excellence in teaching sought By ANN WYLIE Staff Reporter The University Senate executive committee decided Friday to recommend that the Academic Policies and Procedures committee establish a program to teach professors teaching skills. "When one gets an advanced degree, that might not have anything to do with teaching ability," Laurence Rose, member and professor of law, said Friday. "My whole teaching background is 12 education credits." The suggestion was a response to recommendations on excellence in teaching from the Long-Range Planning committee. SENEX DISCUSED specific suggestions for the committee. Teaching background should be gained when potential professors are graduate students at the University, or in other places where Lawrence graduate student, said The need for an excellence-in-teaching program points out the necessity of classroom experience for teachers instructs, he said. SenEx informed the office of academic affairs that University governance would be involved in teaching the excellence-in-teaching program. The University could set up a central area with information about teaching techniques, Shirley Harkess, SenEx associate professor, associate professor of sociology, said. Rewards for good teaching also could improve teaching, Ernest Angino, SenEX chairman and professor of geology and civil engineering, said. He said he didn't think teaching awards in general had provided the incentive they were meant to. Good professors of small graduate classes rarely get nominated for teaching awards because they don't know enough students, he said. "They should go to somebody who's consistently made a commitment to the University of Kansas," she said. THE LACK OF proper equipment essentially ex-planted teaching. Angino said. Tools for teaching include books as well as hardware, he said. Part of the problem with teaching at the University is that professors are geared toward research rather than teaching, James Maloney, SenEx member and professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, said. The University faculty executive committee met in a closed session to nominate three hearing officers for the Board of Parking and Traffic appeals. Based on a fineed person's salary, the officers would decide whether fines should be paid all at once or on an installment plan. Angino said. "The hearing officer doesn't decide whether the fine will be paid." Anginio said of the judge.
