Another program awaiting HEW funds in a minority recruitment and retention effort.

That program would consist of courses at the Med Center during the summer. The students mainly would be disadvantaged and have been accepted into medical school.
The courses would be ones that would help future medical students prepare for the Med Center curriculum. The available courses would range from reading to a sup-
pledimentary chemistry or biology course. No class would repeat any course the student took.
WILLIAMS, AS affirmative action director, is responsible for more than initiating new programs for disadvantaged potential medical students.
The Affirmative Action Grievance Committee hears reports of alleged discrimination at the Med Center after Williams has investigated a discrimination
The grievance board is a five-member committee that meets each time a discrimination charge is brought against the Med Center.
Williams said Chancellor Archie R. Dykes told him last year he was not pleased about the small number of blacks enrolled at the Med Center.
"I'll have to come up with an innovative way to get back students to come here,"
RECruitment IS the key, he said, and the two new programs could help.
Williams said he thought the Kansas Medical Scholarship Program was advantageous to disadvantaged students. The program, passed last spring by the Kansas Legislature, is designed to encourage Med Center graduates to practice in medically
underserved areas of Kansas. The program requires graduates to practice one year in Kansas for every year they use the scholarships.
Williams said the U.S. Supreme Court decision that allowed Allen Bakke, a University of California-Davis student to testify in court on the effect of KU's affirmative action program.
The Med Center's admission procedure would not be affected, he said, because it was one of the most trusted in the world.
Williams said Med Center admission officials needed to determine whether race could be used as a criterion for admission to Medical school.

choosing the speaker, but I thought it was going to week that student organized that input in class.
Reva Jenkins, associate professor of educational psychology and research, said Tuesday that she had not heard of Bailey before but had heard much about Kozol.
"I can't imagine any ne who has to do not heard of him who has d anything to with education for the last 10 years," she said. "I've seen him speak before. He's very dynamic speaker on all of the topics I've seen him talk on."
Carl Candoni, chairman of the department of administration, foundations and
migner education said that he was familiar with Kerosel's death to an Early Age. "I had no memory of it," he said.
BAILEY IS EXCEEDINGLY well known in the area of the politics of education," he said. "He is better known in higher schools than in the region, reasonably well known in urban education."
Kozol, the 1968 recipient of the National Book Award for "Death at an Early Age: The Destruction of the Hearts and Minds of Negro Children in the Boston Public Schools," has been involved in curriculum development at elementary & high school levels.
Robinson said that he had made an oral
Filters...
Although bacteria grow in the faucer filters, there has been no specific study studying their effects.
From page one
Towne cited a study by the AMF Technological Center in Stanford, Conn., which said that the bacteria buildup in water pipes were more than the buildup in water pipes overnight.
To reduce the growth of bacteria, a filter should be changed every three months or four times.
A check with Lawrence stores showed that sales of filters were minimal.
He acknowledged that as the filter becomes clogged with organic compounds it will react to a toxic mixture.
A cork in one discount store said that the store sold about five filters every two weeks. Another discount store reported sales averaging a filter a week. One hardware store sold about four filters more had been out of faucet filters for more than two months but planned to restock soon.
Carl Burkhead, professor of civil engineering in the department of environmental health, said he did not think cucamel filters totally remove organic
"The removal of organics in the small filter is limited by the time available to trap bacteria."
The filters are designed to remove materials that will be absorbed by the water, he said, but the filters are too small to do an adequate job.
Other activities that were planned by the committee at the meeting yesterday include the Jayhawk College Quiz Bowl and activities honoring the finalists of the Honors to Outstanding Progressive Educators awards.
Towne said consumers should follow the manufacturers' directions to avoid
TOWNE SAID that the filter trapped only particles that are 20 microns or larger and that some particles would pass through the filter. The size of a hair is 60 microns.

forum than at a banquet.
"We do strongly recommend that the consumer rinse his water by letting it run three to five seconds before drawing water." "We're looking for definitive studies."
agreement with Kozol to pay him $1,500 to speak at the banquet, and that Kozol would receive the same amount to appear at the forum in the Union.
The money will come from a University and that pays for visiting speakers, such as Katie.
There were some possible benefits in having Kozol speak at an open forum, but the lack of any formal agenda was a barrier.
"BUT I D STILL, rather have him at the banquet. Robinson said."
