StudEx, ASK heads announced
7
Steve Cramer, Lawrence sophomore, will replace Phill Kauffman as Studs' chairman, Harper and Kaufman. Kaufman is a graduate of New York University.
A new chairman of the Student Senate Executive Committee and a new campus director of Associated Students of Kansas were announced at a StudEx meeting last night by Mike Harper, student body president.
Jeff Channay, Topka junior, will replace Ron Allen as campus director of ASK. Allen, who is executive director of Concerned Students for Higher Education, was appointed by Harper in October to act as temporary ASK campus
Harper said his decision to replace Allen with Chanay was nominated by a desire to extend both CSHE and ASK.
He said expansion of the groups would not be possible unless the ASK and CSHE组 could devote full at-mentation.
Harper said although he and Reggie Robinson, student body vice president, had considered several people for the position of ASK campus director, they did not think interviews for the position were necessary.
"I VIEW ASK and CSHE and two separate organizations," he said. "It's hard for me to see one person directing both."
Ron is tied up with CSHE, and I think we need someone who can handle ASK on a full-time basis."
"When it came right down to it, Jeff was our overwhelming choice." Harper said. "Both Begg and I were here because we had so much that really were not necessary anyway. Due to KU's temporary status in AK, guidelines for selecting a campus director were established."
"HE DIED! give me any advance warning," he said.
"He just asked me if I would consider taking the job."
Chanay said he was surprised when Harper asked him to take the position.
Chanay said he hoped to work with Allen on issues that ASK and CSHE had in common.
"I will be working closely with Ron," Chamay said. "ASK and CSHE can share resources and contacts."
Because of their poor attendance at Senate meetings, six senators were removed from office by StuEx.
Harper said all removals could be appealed to the Senate.
TOY BYERS, Lawrence senior, Bill Clark, Garden City senior, Audey Dempsey, St. Louis sophomore, Alfred Gütterer, Lawrence graduate student, Greg Schultz, Lawrence graduate student, David Phelan, graduate student, all were removed from Senate positions.
StudEx members also voted to hear at a Senate meeting tonight a bill requesting Senate funding for four University Regulations, a reauthorization letter from Council Rules and Regulations, a reauthorization letter from Council Rules and a statement re-defining what student information may be given by KU information or a bill prohibiting smoking at the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union.
Commuters hit the road to KU

After using 4,000 gallons of gasoline, D威 Corman, Topeka senior, will no longer have to commute to the airport.
The gas cost Corman $2,250 and put 36,000 miles on his car.
Corman has commited to classes at the University of Kansas five days a week for the last four years.
"I first began committing because I worked in Topaka"
"Corman said. "I continued committing because it allowed
me to stay ahead."
Corman, an engineering major, estimated the cost of commuting to be $15 a week.
About 2,272 students commute to classes at KU this semester. Go GWK班 dean of admissions and records
"I COMMUTE with another friend from Topeka, and we split expenses." "Corman said. 'My expenses usually run together.'"
Cerman said he usually came to KU by way of the Kansas Turnpike because he thought it was safer. "But if I mshort from you, you should go," Cerman said.
Corman said the major problem with commuting was car trouble.
"I've had my sad of trouble," he said. "The car failed once last semester. Just as I was going to help get, some friends who also commute from Topeka to KU drove by," he said. "They stopped and helped me."
Weather also has presented problems for Corman.
Written in the appropriate font and color.
*I last winter I had a good scare*, he said. *I was going*
about 60 miles on the road and hit an ice spot. My car side windows across the road and I barely missed a collision."
"Although it doesn't happen often, sometimes I can't get to Lawrence because the roads are snow-packed. But the real problem is when it begins to snow while I'm here in town and I need to go back to go back to Topeka, regardless of the road conditions."
CORMAN SAID the weather occasionally kept him from getting to classes.
Steve Shedd, Overland Park senior who commutes about 100 miles a day, three weeks a week, plays to live in
"Commuting is cheaper because I can live at home and don't have to pay rent. But I plan to live in Lawrence starting in January," Shedd said. "It's more convenient, but the weather there when I won't have to deal with the bad weather and driving."
"ITRAVEL by myself because I just don't know anyone to commute with," he said. "It works better that way because I don't have to plan my schedule around anyone else's, and the cost isn’t that areal."
Shedd commutes by himself and estimates his cost to be $10 a week.
Shedd travel K-10 to and from classes. He said the wear on his car was not a major concern to him.
"I've got a newer used car, and I've had a few small problems with it, such as a bad battery. But the upkeep on it is not that great," he said. "However, if I were going to keep commuting, I'm sure the乳压 would be taken on my back."
Susan T. Hall, Topeka junior, said the worst problem of commuting was the mileage put on her car.
Hall, who commutes from Toppea with another KU student, said it costs her $12 a week to communicate.
"WE ROTATE driving," she said, "so it ends up that I drive for three days and then she drives for three days."
"We drive to Lawrence on the Turnip because Highway 40 is too crowded." Hall said. "It's safer that way. In the evenings when we return to Topeka, we take Highway 40. It isn't so congested at that time of day."
Hall also commuted to classes at KU this summer.
"I really don't mind commuting all year," she said. "The only problem, besides miles on the car, is the time it takes. I have to leave Topeka by 7 a.m. to make my 8:30 a.m. class."
"WE HAVE a ride board in the south lobby of the main floor of the Union," Barb Light, information desk representative, said. "Any student wanting a ride or a passenger can post a card with that information on the rider gate."
Although no organized group representing commuting students exist on campus, the Kansas Union makes space for them.
Most rides posted are for one-time rides home, she said. "The board's main use is for rides home for the holidays." Light said. "But commuters can use it too. It would be a good way to find a person to commute with."
Most rides posted are for one-time rides home, she said.
Med students gain experience in small towns

HARPER-For one month, the 45-bed community hospital in this quiet, south-central Kansas town will be the home of a dozen doctors and one of the University of Kansas Medical School.
Participation in the preceptorship program is a requirement for KU medical school students on both the Kansas City, Kan., and Wichita campuses.
The student, Scott Gray, a four-year student at the Wichita branch of the medical school, is participating in a preceptorship, a course for medical students in a nonurban city in Kansas.
In 1977, approximately 175 physicians in 22 western and south central Kansas towns participated with the Wichita branch in the preceptorship program.
The Kansas City campus sends its students to towns in eastern and central Missouri.
MOST OF THE towns are small—Kiowa, Kinsley, Belleville, Caliber and Liberal—but some are larger, such as Hutchinson and Salina.
The preceptorship is designed in part to help ease the physician shortage in Kansas by temporarily supplying student physicians; Bill Gardner, a Harper physician, said. It also exposes the student to small town health care.
"The student gets first crack at everything." Gardner said. "The student sees the patient first and makes the initial diagnosis. He makes rounds at the hospital, receives patients at the office and assists in the operating room."
The Harper and Greensburg preceptorship programs are different from and more concentrated than the others, said Richard H. Owen, a public information at the Wichita branch.
IN THE OTHER towns, Jensen said, the student lives with the participating
physician. The physician and student eat and work together.
However, in Harper and Greensburg, the students live at the hospital and divide their time between working in the physician's office and making rounds at the hospital.
Gray said he was treated like a physician in Harper, a town of 7,500.
Gardner said, "It works out very well. The student can see a patient in the office he will be admitted to the hospital the next day. He can follow the patient and attend him all through his treatment and release. A student can't get that in Kansas City or Wichita."
Gray said surgery was performed at the Harper Hospital about twice a week.
"In the mornings, I wake up and go on rounds at the hospital." Gray said. "If there is something that you have to do,
Gardner said practical experience was not the only education the students received.
Students listen to lectures from Gardner and the other 175 physicians in the preceptorship programs as part of their month-long practical class.
Gardner moved to Harper in 1975 after directing the family practice program at the Wichita branch of Sigma Phi and with being a participating physician in a preceptorship program afforded Gardner the opportunity to teach but did not attend seminars that accompany an academic atmosphere.
Gray said his experience in Harper was good for him not only from a medical standpoint but also because he wanted to practice in a small town after graduation.
