Bid to merge all security offices
A proposal to consolidate KU security officers has been in a Topeka "deep-freeze" for over two years, said R. Keith Lawton, vice chancellor of operations.
He and other KU administrators think the proposal should be thawed out.
The offices of Traffic and Security, Buildings and Grounds security and residence hall security now work independently.
The proposal would consolidate these offices under a chief of security.
To enact the proposal the Kansas Civil Service Commission must re-classify personnel positions. Upon re-classification new responsibilities will be assigned to the new officials.
The new responsibilities are accompanied by increased salaries. The State Finance Committee must then act upon the proposal and raise salaries accordingly.
The committee meets once a month and the security proposal has not been on the finance agenda since it was tabled two years ago.
"Crime is on the increase generally. For several years we've felt it desirable to consolidate all campus security under a single head," Lawton said.
"Dormitory security is handled by individual dorms. It began that way and just never changed. New dormitories have grown in numbers and complexity. The present system makes it increasingly difficult to deal with." Lawton said.
General campus patrol is done by the campus police but it is not mobilized with the night watchmen of buildings and dorms.
Ray Nichols, vice chancellor in charge of finance, said he doesn't know when or if the proposal will be enacted.
"We've urged the state director to put it before the finance council. It's been indefinitely tabled," Nichols said.
"We believe we have the most advanced and sophisticated security system of any state university. However, it is logical to believe that it would function best under one unit." Nichols said.
Living groups vandalized
The Lawrence police force is continuing investigation of thefts this summer in several KU halls according to Robert Richardson, city police chief.
Mrs. Louise Reed, housemother of the Theta Chi fraternity, said three chairs, three tables and four lamps were taken from the living room of the fraternity.
Among the living groups vandalized were two fraternity houses and two scholarship halls.
Mrs. Irby Keen, housemother of Pearson scholarship hall, said a window fan, an electric can opener and several small items were taken from that hall.
A color television was taken from the Delta Tau Delta fraternity, John Pro, Leawood senior and president of the fraternity, said.
Sellards scholarship hall lost a sewing machine, said Mrs. Irene Ramsey, housemother.

Clearing House coordinates campus resources with need
By DIANE SAMMS Kansan Staff Writer
"If you just put people in touch with each other, you have to believe that things will happen," said Mrs. Donna Shavlik, assistant dean of women.
This is part of the premise on which the Community Service Clearing House to coordinate campus resources with the common need is being set up by a committee of interested students, she explained.
"Lawrence doesn't need the University to make things happen," Mrs. Shavlik said, "however, it's a matter of quality of experience, and that quality can be improved in both if there is cooperation."
Mrs. Shavlik said it is "important that the University take a stand" on community problems, but she emphasized that the Clearing House "is not an effort in any way to duplicate anything already being done."
She said the committee has contacted faculty members who have classes involved in the community and organizations which have community service projects to avoid usurping others' ideas.
With only one social worker in Lawrence, and with an interest in community service expressed by individual students and groups of students. Mrs. Shavlik feels the Clearing House will fill a need for the community and for the students involved. "We will serve the whole community," she said.
The committee has sent a letter stating its purpose and requesting funds to William L. Balfour, dean of Student Affairs. "But even if we don't get funds, we will go ahead and set it up," said Ward Coleman, Boise, Idaho, senior and committee member.
Coleman explained that the idea for the Clearing House emerged in Associated Women Students (AWS) last year. When AWS decided that it was a project better suited for greater student participation, the committee was formed and communication among faculty members, students, community leaders and

social agencies was begun in the form of seminars. He indicated that now that much of the research has been done, the Clearing House will be set up "as soon as possible."
"We will have a desk and a telephone and a file cabinet," Coleman said. When the location for them is found, the major effort will be in "trying to coordinate campus resources with the common need," he added.
Coleman explained that the services to be offered by volunteers will be varied and determined by the needs defined by cooperating agencies and individuals.
He said volunteers will be interviewed to acquaint them with the needs of the community and to inform them of the commitment involved in volunteering services.

Q. DO YOU ASSUME THAT UNLESS YOU CAN SEE A FLAW WITH THE NAKED EYE, A DIAMOND IS FLAWLESS?
A. Flaws or inclusions that can be seen with the un-aided eye, obviously mar the beauty of a diamond. Only when there is no flaw visible under 10-power magnification should a diamond properly be called "fawless." As members of the American Gem Society, we have been trained to determine a diamond's clarity exactly, and show you exactly. AGS affiliation is awarded only to those jewelers who qualify on the basis of gemological knowledge and high ethical standards. Come in soon and let us explain the "Four C's" of diamond value to you.
