Regents head is optimistic about Margin
By a Kansan reporter
MANHATTAN - Higher education should receive full financing for the third and final year of the Margin of Excellence program although the state treasury may not be as healthy as it was a year ago, said the chairman of the Board of Regents.
Norman Jeter, a lawyer from Hays, said that beefing up faculty salaries at state colleges and universities was so critical that the Regents of Harvard insisted on "firming" the order not to lose the financing if it became necessary.
Jeter, who was at Kansas State University on Monday during his tour of Regents schools, said in an interview that faculty morale was up significantly after two years of the Margin. He said he was optimistic about full financing in 1990.
The Margin is the Regents three-year plan to bring the total financing of its seven institutions to 95 percent of their schoolships and to bring faculty salaries to 100 percent of their peers.
Jeter said Gov. Mike Hayden and legislative leaders from both parties continued to be enthusiastic about the educational program, which had provided annual 2 to 3 percent salary sweeteners over the basic 5 percent increases, in addition to program enhancements.
"We regard faculty salaries as the most critical piece of Margin of Excellence," Judith Ramaley, KU executive vice chancellor said. "A good university starts with a first-class faculty."
Ramaley said that KU support for the Regents' emphasis on faculty was reflective in what had been done here during the first two years of the Margin. That support will continue through the third year as well, she said.
On other issues, Jeter said board members felt strongly about qualified admissions rather than open admissions to the Regents schools, but he said that he did not expect to see any change next year.
Stanley Koplik, executive director of the Regents, said that caution must be used when expansion got to the point of overtaxing facilities and faculty capability to deliver quality programs. He said Regents and the schools should carefully monitor student numbers.

Topeka man gives University $75,000 Pledge goes to unrestricted fund
By a Kansan reporter
A pledge of $75,000 was received by the Kansas University Endowment Association on Thursday as unrestricted funds for the University of Kansas, said John Scarffe, public relations director of the Kansas University Endowment Association.
He said the pledge, which was included in Campaign Kansas, came from Ned N. Fleming, Topeka, the former resident and honorary chairman of the board of Fleming Companies Inc., a wholesale food distributor.
Campaign Kansas is the University's five-year, $150-million fund-raising drive.
A Campaign Kansas statement said that Fleming was an honorary
life member of the University of Kansas Alumni Association, and that he currently served as an advisory trustee for the Endowment Association and was a member of the campaign's National Council.
Unrestricted funds means the Chancellor can use the funds for areas with the most need, or for special opportunities that could arise, such as the sudden availability of a rare book, Scarfe said.
The campaign will provide funds for KU faculty, students, museums, libraries, the enhancement of University programs, main campus, the University of Kansas Medical Center and the purchase of equipment, Campaign officials said.
Campaign pledges as of Monday totalled $134.2 million, Scarff said.
A business decision Committee selected to find new dean
"I have served nine years in the dean's position and 17 years as an administrator," Tollefon said. "I think that is sufficient enough reason."
By Jennifer Reynolds Kansan staff writer
He said he believed the time had come for him to move on to a different job.
"I don't want to die or retire in this job," Tolleson said. "I'm $2 now; I still have a few years left in the work force, and it's time to move on."
He said he would relinquish his duties as early as next semester if a replacement were found by then.
A 14-member committee in charge of finding the new dean of business was named Aug. 22.
Tollefson announced his resignation in July. He said there was not any particular reason why he decided to step down.
Brinkman said he would meet with the School of Business faculty as soon
Del Brinkman, vice chancellor for academic affairs, announced the committee membership and said the group would meet soon to organize a nationwide search to replace John Tollefson, dean of the school since 1981.
as possible to explain the process of choosing a new dean.
Marilyn Taylor, associate professor of business and member of the search committee, said the committee was dedicated to finding the best person for the job.
"Our emphasis will be on a thorough search and a careful selection," she said.
The committee members are Jack Gaumnets, John Gergac and George Pinches, professors of business; Taylor, Beverley Wilson, assistant professor of business; Diane Mielke, assistant director of the business placement center; Dorothy Jones, secretary in the business school's accounting division; Chester Vanatta, Paul J. Adam distinguished lecturer and executive in residence for the business school; Janise Haase, senior vice president of the First National Bank, Lawrence; Howard Mossberg, dean of the School of Pharmacy; Robert Bearse, associate vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service; Brower Burchell, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs; Barbara Walters, Lawrence business graduate student; and Sharnique Lowery, Lawrence senior.
