12 Tuesday, September 18, 1990/ University Daily Kansan State requirement forces change in accounting curriculum at KU By Amy Zamierowski Kansas staff writer Kansan staff writer During the next year, major changes need to be made in the KU accounting program curriculum, said Bruce Bubitz, director of the accounting division in the School of Business. The changes are necessary because Kansas has enacted a 150-hour requirement for taking the certified public account examination after July 1, 1997. The current requirement is that all dents who will need to satisfy this five-year requirement will begin college in 1992. Bubbit said. The state will not require a master's degree to meet the 150-hour requirement. At the University of Kansas, a student will have to meet the requirement by receiving a master's degree. Bubiltz said. If a student wants to be a public accountant, he needs to be a CPA. But people that are not CPAs are working as accountants, Bublitz said. "We need to decide what kind of curriculum we want undergraduates to go through," Bubbit said. "It still hasn't been decided yet if there will be an undergraduate accounting degree." He said, one way to maintain the undergraduate program would be to limit the number of students admitted. Bubitz said that he would like to expand the accounting division but that the division had only eight professors and limited resources. Another alternative is to allocate more money to the accounting program. The resources would have to be brought from the school or the University. Bubitz said. "Between now and 1992, we need to make the decision of who to serve and not to serve," Bubbit said. Bubbit said the state had not established course requirements to fill the additional hours. and who not to serve," Bublitz said. "We hope not to use all the extra hours on accounting or business courses but put more flexibility into students' schedules," he said. Bubblitz said people in the accounting profession thought accountants of the future needed more training in communication and analytical skills. Bubbitz said the accounting division was also discussing revising the format of introductory accounting courses. "The basic course in accounting typically is highly structured," Ford said. "Sometimes the course gives the impression of accounting as not being challenging or exciting." Ford said that with 300 people in an introductory class, the structure tended to be more focused on rules rather than concepts. "The idea that accounting isn't a creative field is misleading," Ford said. "An accountant is a business person with specialized skills. He needs to understand business because he often becomes a sounding board for making business decisions." Bubitz said he would like a basic accounting course that showed students opportunities in business they learned the accounting aspect. "If we look at accounting in th. business environment, then students would see it as fascinating." Bubult said. Senate voices opinion on ROTC policy Bv. Jennifer Schultz Kansan staff writer Last May, Student Senate passed a resolution condemning the U.S. department of Defense policy that forces ROTC programs at every university to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. In the resolution, Senate said it supported any efforts by the University to end the discriminatory policies of the department and the resulting discrimination in ROTC programs. Aimee Hall, student body vice president, said the department's policy violated the Senate Rules and Regulations' preamble. Chancellor Gene A. Budig recently vetoed a University Council's resolution to prohibit ROTC commissioning委员会 from being held on campus. "Personally, I think the chancellor should reconsider the veto over the University Council's action," Hall said. "It's our statement saying we won't tolerate the discrimination policy." The resolution would also prohibit University officials from attending the ceremonies as official representatives of the University. Hall said the Council included Senate representatives. "We don't have the power to take absolute final action," she said. "We can vote and council with letters and petitions." Hall said she felt it was important not to compromise Senate's ability to act in the future by taking drastic action now. "If we are too radical with the administration, and we've compromised our voice as representatives of the student body," she said. "We are in a bad place, we have to act to a government body." Rollie Paquin, resident-at-large senator and RCOT cadet fourth class, said she thought Senate was overlooking important issues. "By limiting the military science hours counting toward graduation, it discourages students who aren't in ROTC to take the classes," she said. "You're not supposed to take military science courses and not the only ones you will get punished." University Council will vote soon through a mail-in ballot on a resolution denying ROTC credit hours from counting towards the 124-credit graduation. If the resolution passed, ROTC credit would not be allowed in 1995. Paqun said she thought KU administration and students were attacking the wrong problem. "We fall under the Department of Defense, policy," she said. "This will hurt the students, and students will have no control over the situation." She said she felt banning the ROTC ceremonies from campus would not do anything to change the department's policy. Paquim said Senate needed to take action at a state or national level. Paquin said University members and Senate should realize an ROTC member also was a student. "Whatever they decide will affect our lives in the long run," she said. Paquin said many ROTC students she knew had heavy academic workloads, in addition their involvement in ROTC. other commitments to the school and to the community," she said. "We are a service organization and do a lot of volunteer work." Paquin said she sympathized with Budig's position. "When you join ROTC you have "It puts him in a hard place because he has military connections," she said. Paquin said most people she knew in ROTC were open-minded. "I don't see a problem with homosexuals in the military," she said. Paquin said she thought it was good for someone in ROTC to be in Senate since the whole idea of Senate was to represent the student body. "I didn't join ROTC because of a Defense Department policy but to support my country," she said. David Suroff, engineering senator, said he believed no immediate action should be taken against ROTCAT KU. He said the university lobbied on a state or national level. Mike Spoket, off campus senator, said he believed homosexuals had the same rights and new rules should be made according to that philosophy. Group helps Guard in employer conflict By David Roach Kansas staff writer Kansas National Guard members and reservists returning from the Middle East could find themselves in conflict with their employers, said officials of the Committee for the Support of the Guard and Reserve. Most of the problems occur because employers do not understand the guard members' legal employment rights, said David Fisher Jr., state chairperson for the committee. The committee is a volunteer organization that helps guard members and reservists work out problems with employers, Fisher said. It is sponsored by the Department of Defense. Fisher said that the committee, which was established in 1972, was preparing for an increase in activity of the U.S. military in the Middle East. Shield operation in the Middle East. "Up until now, everything has been hypothetical," he said. "This is the first real test of the entire employer support effort." Fisher said that the committee was not having problems keeping up with requests for mediation so far. Ted Hischek, committee ombudsman, said that employers were usually sympathetic to guard members. but nevertheless found themselves in a difficult position. "Some employers may have several employees going, and it creates a hardship," Hischek said. "A lot of times they have to hire new people." He said that in addition to making sure guard members and reservists kept their jobs, the committee dealt with issues of the seniority, vacation and health benefits. Hischek said that a guard member's seniority accrued while he was on active duty and that he was employed up to four years after his departure. “It’s usually a matter of employers not knowing what the guardsmen’s rights are,” Hischke said. “It’s usually a matter of misunderstanding, not understanding. Usually, we can get in and talk to both sides, it can be settled.” The longer a call-up drags on, the more problems it creates, he said. Fisher said that it would cost the government about $20,900 to refrain a guard member who did not get his job back, and that the committee should help guard members millions of dollars each year by helping guard members keep their jobs. Fisher said that the 500 members of the 190th Kansas Air National Guard Air Refueling Division staffed at Camp Dodge in Topeka were the largest group of volunteer guard teams in the United States to go to the Middle East. Police say body parts belonged to white male The Associated Press dence, Shawnee Chief Chet Hall said. SWAHNEW — An examination to body parts found in the Kaw River near Shawnee indicated they belonged to a stately built white house.

Overland Park police divers spent much of yesterday morning and afternoon looking for more body parts in a side channel of the river at Nelson Island, north of the Deffenbush landfill. They called off the search in mid afternoon, having found no new evi Fishermen found a human foot Saturday on the south shore of the Kaw River. Shawnee police found other body parts in two bags, including the lower part of a torso, further upstream Saturday. Divers searched the river Sunday but found nothing.
