Center's site provokes conflict
By MARY CARTER Staff Reporter
The presidents of the six Board of Regents universities were unable to agree yesterday on a site for the base center in the Center for Excellence in Teaching.
The Council of Presidents, meeting in Salina, did accept an education plan from the Council of Chief Academic Officers and decided to call it a "program" rather than a "center," Denell Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said yesterday.
The new name is the "Kansas Regents Program for Excellence in Educational Research and Development."
"BUT THE VOTE was split, three to three, on the site," she said. Tacha wouldn't say who among the presidents wanted the program to be
administered from the University of Kansas and who wanted the program to have Emporia State University as its base.
Regents staff members last month suggested that the center be established at two sites, with a research station and a service branch at Emporia State.
Robert Glennen, president of Emporia State, said, "There was unanimous concurrence that there should be one site. The question was, where that one site should be. Three of us thought it should be at the University of Kansas and three of us at Emporia State University."
A team of educational consultants in September recommended to the Regents that a Center for Excellence in Teaching be established. The center, the consultants said, would be a focus for educational research in Kansas and the dissemination of research findings.
THEY SUGGESTED establishing the center at KU, with a staff composed of faculty and researchers from all Regents schools.
Rather than adopting the staff plan, the Regents at their October meeting directed the Council of Presidents to come up with a plan for the Center for Excellence that would acceptable to all the Regents schools.
The Council of Presidents then handed the job to the Council of Chief Academic Officers. COCAO.
The COCAO plan uses the University Press as a model, said Tacha, who is KU's representative to COCAO.
University Press projects are overseen by a board of directors and carried out on campuses across the state. Projects are printed at KU.
DUANE C. ACKER, president of Kansas State University and chairman of the Council of Presidents,
said that the University Press was
analogous to the proposed education
program in that projects could be
carried out on statewide campuses,
while being administered by a
director. The director would remain
at one administrative site, he said.
The Regents will act on the plan at a meeting Nov. 15 and 16 in Topeka.
Emporia State's Glennen said, "The primary thing is that we do weel that we can provide the type of services that would be called for by us. We have a long-standing tradition of our school service. We have access to the labs and classrooms. We think we have all the necessary ingredients."
Tacha said KU should be the sue for the program because of its strong research programs, doctoral programs, faculty and potential for generating extensive research.
Big Eight papers endorse Mondale
Four Big Eight university newspapers have endorsed Walter Mondale for president, newspaper editors said yesterday.
Newspapers at Iowa State University, the University of Missouri-Columbia, the University of Nebraska and the University of Kansas have endorsed Moses rather than President Reagan.
The editor of the Colorado Daily at the University of Colorado at Boulder could not be reached.
The newspapers at Kansas State University, Oklahoma State University and the University of Arkansas do arose a 1984 presidential candidate
The Iowa State Daily backed Mondale because of his position on the economy, foreign policy and issues of equality and justice, said
James A Hemphill, opinion page editor.
"The question is not 'Are you better off now than you were four years ago?' " Hemphil said, "but 'Under which candidate would the country be better off with for the next four years'"
The Daily Nebraskan endorsed Mondale because of his support for education and student loans, said Chris Welsch, editor.
"Reagan has cut student loans and aid to students." Welsch said.
Stan Abbott, city editor at the Columbia Missourier, said the newspaper had endorsed Mondale because of a moderate position on foreign and economic policies, his interest in lower- and middle-income families and his vow to end the arms race.
