Nurses can take self-pace option
Junior college or hospital nursing graduates with associates degrees are being offered the chance to complete a bachelor of science degree in nursing with only one year of extra work, an official at the University of Kansas College of Health Sciences said yesterday.
"This program allows the graduates to further their education in nursing in a program that they can work on at their own pace," she said. "We dean for undergraduate programs at the School of Nursing, said.
The program started last fall, consists of five equivalency tests for the nurses and an intense eight-week program, Geiss said.
The first test, over medical and surgical techniques, checks the nurses on theory and practice of
surgical methods, Geiss said. This test also covers care of adults.
The second test that students must pass is equivalent to two courses in mental health nursing. Covering the psychological and emotional problems of patients, the test checks the ability of nurses to react in certain emotional situations, Geiss said.
sard.
The third test, on pediatrics,
covers the care and special needs of
hospitalized children.
The fourth area, general obstetrics, tests the nurses' ability to care for expecting mothers before, during and after delivery of the
The final area is one that differs greatly between curricula, Geiss said. This area, community health, is emphasized great in some
programs and hardly at all in others.
Students work with chronically ill patients who need daily home attention.
"Nurses need to know how to deal with the chronically ill person or the diabetic who needs daily injections," Geiss said.
The advantage of this type of program is that the nurses can work on the different tests at their own times while holding a job. Gaise said.
About 25 nurses will graduate from the program this year with a bachelor's degree, Geiss said. This course will probably rise in the near future.
The class, called a "transition course" by Doris Getgey, dean of the School of Nursing, prepares the nurse for a hospital setting.
KU auto fleet resembles used car lot
By LISA GUTIERREZ Staff Reporter
The diversity of vehicles owned by the University of Kansas could match that of any used car lot.
The 28 cars in the motor pool of KU's Facilities Operations include Ford Granadas, Chevrolet Chevettes and Plymouth Volares.
And new AMC Concordes are on their way.
The motor pool cars are only a part of the 240 vehicles owned by the University, Rosie Danielson, manager of the motor pool, said yesterday.
"The MOTOR POOL FLEET is similar to a Hertz rent-a-car service," Danielson said. "The cars are rented by the staff and faculty for state business."
"A lot of them are used by professors who teach classes in Leavenworth and Kansas City."
Danielson said that the cars were rented at 22 cents a mile. The one van in the fleet rents for 26 cents a mile.

are paid out of departmental funds, she said.
"Each department is billed monthly when they use it (the motor pool)." Danielson said. "We handle no cash."
Dimelson said. We are moving the motor pool cars are housed across from the Computer Center.
"The others are more or less owned by individual departments," she said, referring to the 214 other University vehicles.
TWO UNIVERSITY BOAT trailers are used by the Kansas biological survey department when fishing exotic species in the lake to gather specimens, Danielson said.
A 33-passenger bus used mainly by the track team and the women's basketball team, is also rented out through the motor pool.
Danielson said the men's basketball team also used the bus for transportation to the airport when they played away games.
"But we don't normally go over the
road with the men's basketball team," she said.
Included in the list of University vehicles is a 1982 white Buick Electra used by one person—Chancellor Gene A. Budig.
"The new cars are white," Danielson said. "I think the last chancellor decided that it was easier to go with white."
She said that when cars were

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF maintaining the 240 campus vehicles rests with John Kautz, physical plant supervisor of vehicle maintenance. He is assisted by four mechanics, two helpers and two KU students.

As a result of the efforts of many students on the evening of April 20,1970 in the saving of furniture, art objects and invaluable service to firefighters during the Kansas Union fire, some insurance carriers decided to present to the Kansas Union a cash gift. After presentation of the gift, it was suggested that the Student Union Activities Board seek those students deserving of being awarded scholarship/awards from the interest on the gift.

Summer work abroad offered
The Council on International Education Exchange is sponsoring work camps where students will work in exchange for room and board, Anita Herzfeld, study abroad director, said yesterday.
The chance to visit and work in a foreign country this summer is available to students through a new website by the KU office of study abroad.
She said the camps offered students who did not have the money to study abroad a chance to go to another country.
The work may be house construction, renovating a house for use as a community center, activities with senior citizens or working on a nature reservation, she said.
Work experience or knowledge of the language would be useful, Herzfeld said, but are not necessary.
Students will work eight-hour days, five days a week. She said it might be possible for students to arrange weekend trips.
The countries involved in the program are Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Mexico.
Arrangements for the job and housing will be made before the student
leaves. She said that it was a structured program, but that the conditions of living and working would be spartan and quietly background might be necessary.
She said living arrangements might be in student hostels or with families.
The application deadline is March 15 for Mexico and May 1 for the European countries. There is an application fee of $125. Applicants will be notified by CIEE within three weeks after their applications are received.
Good experiences abound
More information on the work camps is available through the office of study abroad. 108 Strong Hall.
KU alumni generosity aids taxpayers
Alumni who donate to the University of Kansas have saved taxpayers much of the burden of supporting the state's largest university, Todd Seymour, Kansas University Endowment Association president, said recently.
"There is something this place engenders in its alumni that makes them want to give money," Seymour would tell it, "that it was, we would bottle it and sell it."
Since 1891, alumni have given $102 million to the University, which has been funneled through the Endowment Association, Seymour said.
"We've been averaging about $1.5 million each year," he said.
He said alumni probably gave generously because they had had extremely good experiences at the University and wanted KU to flourish.
He said that 97 percent of the money was restricted in some way by its donors, and that student scholarships probably receive the majority of the
Each year an average of $3 million is spent on scholarships, Seymour said. Student loans and money for library
acquisitions, he said, were also areas to which gift money went.
"Without the generous gifts of
someone, I would not be the
same." Syrrogr said.
About half of the campus special-use buildings, such as Spencer Art Museum and Danforth Chapel, were made by them. They given to the University, he said.
Out of the University's 890 acres of land, 935 acres were bought by alumni and given to the state, saving taxpayers from their amount of money, Seymour said.
