and fax lines for personal business. He had served in that position for 10 years. After Anderson filed an appeal, he was rehired and transitioned to present position, said Richard Main, director of information resources.
Anderson said his job as coordinator of environmental projects was to look at the overall effect the environment had on KU.
"Because of Tom's previous contributions to the University and other considerations, we decided to reinstate him. Marn said that "That decision was the appeal. In Tom's case, we decided a reassignment would be best."
Robert Bearse, associate vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service, said that Anderson was working in two areas.
"The University needs someone to keep track of all the programs, the
regulations and everything that happens in Washington," he said. "I 'pull it all together to see how it applies to us, and that complements the Division of Continuing Education's effort to promote environmental programs."
Anderson said he was helping to develop courses that would provide training in environmental policies.
"Cities and universities and various municipalities have to follow federal regulations," he said. "We educate teachers about these policies."
Anderson said he was developing a course in techniques used to prevent the contamination of water.
He said he hoped the course would be ready later this year.
Anderson said he also was involved in developing programs concerning clean water and occupational exposure to hazardous chemicals
Bearsse said Anderson also was acting as an adviser to the University regarding the Sunflower landfill, a low-level radioactive waste dump located on the side of a lawsuited fight against the Board of Eudora by Jean Martin of Eudora.
"Everyone involved in this is already up to their ears in alligators," Bearsse said. "It's been very helpful that Tom Anderson has been available to keep track of all the details."
KU recalls Korean War
Anderson said that his experience as director of facilities operations helped him deal with the landfill.
"I've been驶向 the EPA and the KDHE for years," he said. "I am familiar with their policies, so I have been able to assist the University to progress with the site. I really enjoy that part of it. It's very interesting."

Designs for a Korean War memorial will be drawn during a group session called a charrette, said Stephen Olsen of architecture and urban design.
While most of campus will be deserted tonight, Marvin Hall will have teams of architects and students as well. Knotiekies for a new memorial at KU
Grabow said a charite was an architectural term, usually used in competitions, for teams working on projects.
The groups will consist of architecture students, faculty members and architects from firms in Lawrence, the Kansas City area, Grabow said.
Grabow said that the charlette was experimental but that he was confident good ideas would be developed. Six four-person groups will have about four hours to develop a design for the memorial.
Todd Brace, committee chairperson, said the site for the memorial was north of Spencer Research Library and south of the Campanile.
"The Korean Memorial Committee holds the right to accept or reject any design." Brace said. "The committee must combine designs or not choose any."
Brace said the design was required to complement the research library and the Campanile.
Thomas Berger, committee member, said he wanted the memorial on campus to honor the sacrifice and courage of KU students.
"I feel an obligation to fellow KU students, faculty and staff who have served on behalf of the United States government," Berger said.
Berger said construction of the memorial did not imply that the University supported government practices during the Korean War.

"We are not honoring the war, but we are honoring the students," Ber-
Brace said construction of the memorial would begin when the committee had a feasible design and budget. Then the committee organize a fund-raising committee.
A 1989 fund-riser for the memorial raised more than $2,000. Brace said, ROTC cadets collected donations at the Stadium after a football game.
"The committee wants the cost for the memorial to be under $100,000, but it may be only $40,000." Brace said. "Also, if construction companies make donations it could help keep costs down."
Brace said construction of the memorial could start this year and be completed in November 1991.
Brace said Franklin Murphy was honorary chairperson of the committee. Murphy was chancellor of the University from 1951 to 1960. He also was the dean of the University of Arizona Medical Center from 1948 to 1951.

Judging from past events, the United States wants to control the destiny of Central America, a Latin American history professor said yesterday.
Charles Stansifer, professor of history, spoke about the relationship between the United States and Central America at the Pine Room in the Kansas Union.
The lecture, titled "Central America," was the third lecture of the Latin American Lecture Series. The Hispanic American Leadership Organization and the Center of Latin American Studies are co-sponsoring the lecture series in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.
Central America has important strategic meaning for the United States because of its location, he said. The United States has economic interests and U.S. citizens feel an obligation to bring democracy to the region.
Stansler was in Nicaragua in February as an election observer with the Latin American Studies Association.
Facing. U.S. opposition was an overwhelming disadvantage for the Sandinistas, he said.
"They may be better off without us," he said.
District candidate calls for spending freeze

TOPEKA — The U.S. government should grow up and realize that the solution to reducing the budget deficits of a nation, for some citizens, said Scott Morgan,
Morgan proposed a five-year program that he said would save the federal government $667 billion.
He said the first two years of the
plant would be labeled as a hard freeze, or a time period in which no new federal spending, with the purpose of debt interest, would be allowed.
