By NANCY NOLDER
Kansas Staff Reporter
KANSAS CITY, Kan.-Fund authorizations by the state legislature for two buildings to be built at the University of Kansas Medical Center are the largest single authorization in Kansas history for a new school district according to State Representative Clyde H.
Hill, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, spoke Saturday at groundbreaking ceremonies for the buildings.
Construction of a new basic science building and a new clinic is expected to begin in the summer of 1975, and the larger clinical facility will open in 1977, according to William O. Rihek, vice chancellor for Health Affairs at the Medical University.
The two buildings will have about 800,000 square feet and will about double the size of the Medical Center. Rieke said. They will have a dental treatment, and about 300 more beds in the clinic.
HILL SAID the state authorization for the buildings constituted about $20 for each Kansas resident. He said Kansas' elected governor, Jim Hood, did not need justified the spending of the funds.
shortened their remarks, and the entire ceremony lasted about 30 minutes. Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan., one of four who greeted spectators, said he would shorten his remarks because, "I don't want to be the first patient in this new facility."
Because of the cool weather, speakers
Dole said he hoped legislative action in public health service would provide incentive for medical school graduates to remain in Kansas. He said small communities as well as large cities needed competent doctors.
Gov. Robert Docking said in the main address that a chief concern of his administration was the quality of medical care provided to patients, an important part of the time and money invested by the state for medical care involved the Medical Center expansion. He said that the state legislature had agreed on the basic science building and that some federal funds were involved.
THE CLINICAL facility will be a $20-
million state investment, and $22 million
more will be supplied by revenue bonds,
Decking said.
Rieke, chairman of the Medical Center's Central Administrative Planning Committee, said, "It is only because of people that we have come this far . . . and people will sustain us, for it is people who will be served."
Dykes' Tenure Stand Supported by SenEx
By BETH RETONDE Kansan Staff Reporter
The University Senate Executive Committee (SenEx) enthusiastically supports Chancellor Archie R. Dykes' statements last week about the committee's tenure report, James E. Seaver, professor of history and SenEx chairman, said Friday.
Dykes accepted most of the first section of the report but said recommendations in sections two and three would require more evidence. The Board of Regents or the state legislature.
Section one recommends administrative actions and decisions that can be made
Seaver said a subcommittee had been
KU Directories Available Today
KU student directories will be available in the Kansas Union Bookstore, Larry Knupp, director of the KU News Bureau, said last night.
"The first batch arrived Friday, and we expect more in Monday," he said.
J. D. Christman, bookstore manager, said he was "given how the directories would be on sale."
Knapp said, "I don't know for sure why the directories are late, but from what I understand the directories were ready Oct. 15, except for the advertising."
Eleck Publishing Co. of Topeka published the directories,
The SenEx report recommended that some form of systematic and representative student and peer teaching evaluation be conducted in the doser of each tenure candidate.
Dykes accepted the recommendation and said the relative importance assigned to the evaluations would be determined by those who had previously granted the granting of tenure or promotion.
directed to clarify SenEx's proposals for teaching evaluation of a tenure candidate and the checkback procedure SenEx had proposed.
The checkback procedure suggested by SenEx would require the University Committee on Promotions and Tenure (UCPT) to inform any involved committee of contradictory tenure recommendations. The committee could then decide whether Dykes asked for a final decision was made. Dykes asked for a clarification of this procedure.
The SenEx report had asked for a definition of financial exigency if it should be used in the future as a reason for dismissing a tenured faculty member.
Seaver said that at present the committee wouldn't attempt to define financial exigency as a possible reason for dismissing tenured faculty members.
Dykes had told SenEx that he couldn't define the term, but that it wasn't synonymous with "budgetary convenience."
Seaver said SenEx would clarify for Dykes this week its position on both student and peer teaching evaluation and the check-back procedure.
It was the time of makin' out and cruisin', going steady and playin' it cool. It was the time of your life, the time of American Graffiti.
