3 to train in Strong Hall
By DEB RIECHMANN Staff Reporter
Although the three chosen for the administrative training program have not been assigned to their new offices yet, they will be working at various jobs assigned by the chancellor and vice chancellors of the University.
Three University of Kansas staff members will see KU from a different perspective this year as they view the campus and the University administrative offices.
The three selected as administrative
assistants are Nancy Colyer, director of instruction for independent study in the Division of Continuing Education; Roger Williams, assistant editor of a geology department publication; and Sherry Kogi, payroll supervisor in central personnel.
This is the fifth year of the administrative
Halls to be open holidays
Beginning this fall, KU residence halls will remain open during the Thanksgiving holiday, Larry Britton, president of the Association of University Residence Halls, said last night at the first meeting of AURH this semester.
"This is really a relief to a lot of foreign students who have nowhere to go during these holidays," Mark Fouts, acting vice president of AUHR, said.
Britton said the halls also would remain open during spring break and that no extra fees would be charged for those remaining in the residence halls during those holidays.
IN PREVIOUS semesters, students remaining in the residence halls during the holidays had to make arrangements to stay at McColm Hall during vacations.
they will still have to make arrangements for housing during the Christmas holidays, at least at this point," he said.
The students were charged a fee for services required to keep the hall open, such as cleaning, restroom facilities and meals.
In other business, Britton announced a contested date for the annual KU-KState football game.
"The race will be held Sept. 9 and 10 because that is the only weekend early in the semester in which KU and K-State do not both have home football games," he said.
Complaints about the stricteness of the residence hall fire code were discussed.
COMPLAINTS centered on the state guidelines concerning carpets in individual homes.
Jay Smith, AURH contract coordinator, and other members of the group said the new rule on the flammability of carpeting was too strict and unfair to students who purchased carpets in their rooms before the fire started, beginning by the state fire marshal last year.
George Edwards, assistant director of residence halls at KU, said complaints by students who bought carpets for their rooms were sent to allegations began last year were well-founded.
All state universities and colleges have come under scrutiny by the state fire marshal because of a fire that killed 19 people in a university fraternity in Baldwin two years ago.
HOWEVER, he said he did not know of a solution to the students' problem.
Foreign students get help finding jobs in homelands
Although thousands of miles from home, foreign students at the University of Kansas have help in finding jobs in their home countries.
Clark Coan, director of foreign student affairs, said the National Association for Foreign Student Affairs offered job placement services for the students.
The service is the Home Country Employment Registry, a free service offered by the association to foreign students studying in the United States. More than 300 overseas employers have used the service since it was established in 1974.
Once they have graduated, Coan said,
foreign students may have difficulty con-
tinuing their studies.
The problem has not been finding jobs, he said, by bringing the prospective employer and staff together.
Registration cards for the service are available to foreign students from the university.
The registration cards are sent to the association's office in Washington, D.C., and the data is made available to overseas employers.
"It's true that these students have a valid complaint," he said. "But there's no going against the state fire laws for residence bills."
Coan said 125 of about 1,200 foreign students at KIU were the service last year.
Foreign students are eligible to use the Home Country Employment Registry if they have no present employment commitment; are classified as juniors, seniors or graduate students, and are seeking employment outside the United States.
Edwards said students who renewed their contracts this year or signed their first contract for the coming year were informed in detail of the fire marshal's guidelines.
He also said J.J. Wilson, KU housing in favor of strictly following the fire code.

associate program, which is designed to help individuals gain knowledge of ad-hoc skills.
William Hogan, associate executive vice chancellor, said the program was started to increase the number of qualified applicants in the college by applying for administrative positions.
"We look for a person who could work well in administration, who is established at KU and who knows something about the University," Hogan said.

He added that the program also was designed to increase the number of minorities and women in University administrative positions.
Colyer, Williams and Kopt will receive salaries from their original departments, Hogan said. The University will then reimburse the departments.
Williams said that although most of what the associates would learn was designed to further their own experience in administration, they also might be able to help students become aware of the functions of KU's administrative personnel.
Williams described his appointment as an opportunity to participate in the on-the-job training. He is also a graduate of Cedar Creek.
