Grad School Said to Be Ranked in Top 25 in U.S.

Kansas Staff Writer
The University of Kansas ranks in the top 25 schools nationally in the quality of its graduate school, according to William Argersinger Jr., vice chancellor for research and graduate studies and dean of the graduate school.
"One measure of distinction at every university on the national level is the quality of its graduate program," said Argersinger.
"At KU, about 20 per cent (3,500) of the students are graduates. We have more than 60 different programs. This offers a rich variety of coursework which, combined with an enthusiastic faculty, makes up for deficiencies we have in our budget."
AS DEAN, Argersinger has the unavoidable responsibility of building and maintaining a top flight graduate program during a time of economic instability.
Argersinger described the financial situation in the graduate school as shaky. He said that many federally funded training grants were being diminished or phased out, specifically the National Defense Fellowship Fund. Language programs in East Asian, Russian, and Latin American studies have all been cut back.
The impact of the cutbacks has been to make graduate grants extremely difficult to get, Argersinger said. Many graduate students are being forced to take part time jobs or leave school in order to support themselves.
THERE IS ONE bright spot in the economic picture, however. KU and Kansas State University have recently established a cooperative program in computer science.
The program has received a $10,000 grant for new equipment and, Argersinger said, the money might be used for several projects including new mini-computers, new stations for KUJ Honeywell 635 computer or new link-ups with Kansas State.

dagger".
Wollman developed and implemented an operational program to improve health care in Eastern Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey.
He said that it might be desirable to extend the health center's facilities to dependents of students as well as students but added, "We must ask ourselves, are the resources there? Will this be achieved only at the expense of something else? Are there enough facilities elsewhere in the community to treat dependents?"
WOLLMAN WILL inherit a new health facility along with his directorship. The two story building, scheduled to open in 1974, is twice the size of old Watkins Hospital and is located east of Robinson Gymnasium. It will have 20 examining rooms and 13 staff physicians.
