Sabbatical ideas sought
By JAKE THOMPSON
Staff Reporter
Following approval of its most recent sabbatical leave proposal, the Faculty Executive Committee decided yesterday to ask three administrators for informal suggestions and comments on the document.
The action is the latest attempt in a two-and-a-half year struggle to change the way children learn.
Evelyn Swartz, professor of curriculum and instruction and FacEx chairman, said the committee would ask administrators to review the proposal in meeting the proposal to the University Council.
The sabbatical leave proposal will be sent this week to Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, R. Caligauri, vice president of the university and Mike Davis, University general counsel.
Swartz said FaceEx would ask Shankel, Calgaard and Davis for a response to the proposal, either in writing or at a meeting. They will be able to do that after it before making a formal proposal.
FACEX HAS been working on the proposal since Oct. 12, when it formed a committee to review the proposal.
The subcommittee members, F. Hutton Barron, professor of business, and T.P. Srinivasan, professor of mathematics, proposed guidelines the following week that have been refined into the proposal the administrators will receive.
"We've done all that we're able to do for now," Swartz said.
Several members chuckled and clapped when Barron asked for Fackel's approval. "Well, it's really great," he said.
"I think the subcommittee should be commended for its fine efforts," Barron
FacEx spent many of its sessions since Oct. 12 defining differences between faculty members who would be considered definitely meritorious and exceptionally meritorious in their individual sabbatical leave requests.
That represents a change in criteria for evaluating sabbatical leave candidates from those now used by the University Committee on Sabbatical Leaves.
BEFORE FACEEX'S discussion of the sabbatical leave proposal, the Senate Executive Committee discussed a letter from James Seaver, professor of history and chairman of the Senate Libraries Committee.
Currently, 4 percent of the faculty are awarded sabbaticals each year.
Seaver's letter announced that the Library Committee had approved a revised KU Libraries Lending Code and had approved a motion opposing the moving of the art library to the new Spencer Art Museum.
The second motion reaffirmed a vote last year to oppose moving the art library. Both motions will be discussed in today's council meeting. SenEx members said.
Mark Bernstein, Lawrence graduate student and Library Committee member, said the library committee opposed the administration's plan to move the library.
barnstein said she the administration did not respond to the Library Committee's feelings.
TUCSON, Artiz. (AP)—Gov. Robert F. Bennett said that disenchancement over higher education's ability to solve society's problems has spawned a challenge to the academic world's long-held claim on large amounts of public funding.
College funds called endangered
He said that higher education was going to have to do a better job of selling itself to the practical politicians, whose constituents no longer were convinced of the value of pouring vast sums into colleges and universities.
Those beautiful days when academicians could hide behind their ivory towers and contemplate their great thoughts are long since gone," Bennett said in remarks prepared for a conference here on financing of post-secondary education.
THE CONFERENCE was sponsored by the University of Arizona at the Education Campus.
Those interested in higher education must spend much of their time now "fighting for jobs," and those who are interested in transportation dollars, and fighting those who may be interested in employment dollars, and so on down the line. Bennett said

TOKYO (AP)—Twenty Japanese tankers, carrying a total of 1.5 billion gallons of Arab oil, are sitting motionless in the Pacific near Two Jima. They are a floating stockpile, intended to assure that the油 of owl, vital to Japan's industry, doesn't dry up.
Japan maintains storage flotilla of oil reserves
The tankers have only one order from the Japanese government: Stay in a 252-square-mile area south of Japan until needed. The nearest ship is about 600 miles from Tokyo. There have been since September 1, with their engines running just enough to back the currents.
"The tanker reserve, as we call it, uses idle tankers and is part of the official program to increase Japan's emergency oil reserve to 20 million tons 6 billion gallons by year 1985," said Kazuo Takayama, chief planning of the Japan National Oil Corp.
Japan uses about 220 million gallons of oil a day.
There is not enough storage space on land to hold the reserves the country thinks it will.
"It's one way to increase oil imports and cut Japan's trade surplus. Takama says.
"Whenever a typhoon approaches, the tankers are ordered to take refuge in them."
Alarmed at world criticism of its huge trade surplus, $11 billion last year, Japan started an emergency import program, and the importation of oil to be stored in tankers.
The crews, averaging 30 per tanker, are changed every three months.
Tankers are also instructed to keep about 20 miles away from each other to avoid accidental collisions.
Takayama said the corporation is not worried about the crews' reaction to poisoning.
"one round voyage to the Middle East takes one month, anyway," he said.
he asked about female crew members, he said, bursting into laughter, "Of course, this was a joke."

Practical politicians, he said, would have to walk a tightrope of reflecting the desires of their constituents while at the same time selling the cause of higher education.
It also is the job of the academicians to do their own selling job. Bennett said.

horizon for education is really the fight between the dollars that must go to vocational education and the dollars that must go to improve higher education.
"We are passing through, in my opinion, a time when you will find that those who want the dollars now being allocated to education will be the first to shout their disenchantment about higher education's failure to solve many of the crises that confront our nation," he said. "We are being told to be talking about alternative allocation of dollars in order to satisfy these problems."
BENNETT SAID he is in "that relatively small cavalry of characters that believes we are the greatest thing."
"I know that in many instances people who are involved in the academic world believe that politics is beneath them. They believe that for the most part the public should accept the importance and treasure the value of what they're doing.
"But that time has long since passed."
