Regents begin center's plan
By MARY CARTER Staff Reporter
The top academic officers of Board of Regents schools next week will begin planning a proposed Center for Excellence in Teaching in Kansas.
The Council of Presidents of Regents universities met this week in McPherson and directed the Council of Chief Academic Officers to try to come up with a plan for the Center for Excellence. The plan is to be presented to the Regents next month.
Robert Cobb, KU executive vice chancellor, attended the meeting on behalf of Chancellor Gene A. Budig, who was in Japan. Deanell Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs, also was at the meeting.
A CONSULTING TEAM from the Academy for Educational Development recommended in September that the Regents establish a Center for Excellence to heighten education research in Kansas and aid in the sharing of research findings.
At the October Regents meeting, the Regents staff proposed that the center be established at two sites a research branch at the University of Kansas and a graduate branch at Emporia State University.
The Regents directed the Council of Presidents to come up with a recommendation for the center that would be acceptable to all Regents schools.
The Council of Presidents asked the academic officers also to consider a plan that would not divide the center, Cobb said.
"The location of the center has unfortunately captured much attention," Cobb said. "It is really a secondary or tertiary concern."
Cobb said the consultants' recommendations were designed to dramatize Kansas' commitment to school and university education.
"The emphases of the report were to greatly enhance research and greatly enhance dissemination of information and to heighten public consciousness," Cobb said.
Cobb said the council would consider the points of emphasis in making recommendations.

County election costs may be up
Douglas County taxpayers may pay about $7,000 more for general election expenses than they paid in 1980, the county election officer said this week.
Patty Jaimes, county clerk and the election officer, said it was too early to know exactly how much ballots, poll workers' pay and other election expenses would be in Douglas County. But she predicted that the expense would be between $40,000 and $45,000.
In 1980, the last presidential election, Douglas County taxpayers
Taxpayers pay election expenses with county taxes, which are put into a general election fund controlled by the county board of pancy Hiebert, county commissioner.
paid about $83,000 to finance the general election.
JOHN REINHART, PUBLIC information director for the Secretary of State, said the state bore only a minimal expense for elections compared to the cost to counties. Most of the state expense comes from election books that each county receives and fills with election results after they are tabulated, he said.
Jaimes said two principal expenses accounted for this year's increase in county election costs. Printing costs for ballots and other election materials have increased slightly since 1980.
Also, Douglas County will need more poll workers and polling places than it used in 1980, Jaimes said, because Douglas County now has three more precincts than it had four years ago.
In 1981, Jaimes increased the number of precincts from 43 to 46 because of expanding population in some areas of the county.
THE GREATEST COST of an election in Douglas County is poll workers' salaries. In 1980, poll workers received about $2,500 from the general election fund. In 1982, they received about $17,500.
Jaimes said the decrease in the cost of paying poll workers from 1980 to 1982 was due to smaller voter turnout in a non-presidential election year, which allowed for fewer workers and shorter hours. The total general election cost for 1982 was about $32,000.
The total ballot cost was almost $3,000 more in 1890 than it was in 1982. Four years ago, the total ballot cost was about $7,700.
