HEW officials to study KU hiring procedures
Department of Health, Education and welfare officials will interview more than 400 women each week as part of a routine review of hiring procedures for women and minority groups.
Joan Sherwool, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs, said the investigation had not been prompted by her report about student haring practiced at KU.
a spokesman for HEW's office of it, spoke in Kansas City, Mo., said the investigators found that whether KU was complying with Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in all activities and programs, including sports, employment, housing, which prohibits racial discrimination and Section 504 of the 1973 Rebellion act, or job discrimination and the handcuffs.
Sherwood said HEW investigators would interview representatives of all of the groups that were interviewed, more than 20 students and several departments with fewer than 20 student interviews.
ment offices on campus, she said.
HERIWOOD SAID that about 100 minority, women, handicapped and non-minority male students who worked for HEW were interviewed to talk with HEW investigators.
Only 10 students responded, she said, so the rest of the interviews would be with faculty.
"But we're assuming that if the students had been interested in talking, they would have come."
The HEW spokesman said a report would be drawn up after the review and investigation. Violations are found at KU, the University will have 29 days to comply with the findings.
Procedures for hiring students are outlined in the affirmative action handbook.
These procedures require, among other things, that departments submit job descriptions to the academic affairs or research support office for approval; report sex, race and other data on interviews to the office of affirmative action.
tractive place to mine for coal because of the thinness of the veins-area where coal is located -compared with wider veins in southeastern Kansas.
Carol Zarley, assistant scientist at the survey, said coal companies were looking for mines they could depend on for a long period of time, as well as high-quality coal.
She said both of these factors made coal mined in the Western United States more attractive than Kansas coal.
Although coal production in Kansas is expected to double within the next year, the economic impact on the state is expected to be significant. The Kansas Geological Survey at West Campus,

Neal Livingston, graduate assistant for the survey, said yesterday that the high sulfur content in Kansas coal exceeded normal limits and was in low demand on the market.
The mining is being done by Pittsburgh and Midway Mining Co., a subsidiary of Gulf Oil Co., and is expected to reach the LaCaye sometime next year,
Livingston used the Kansas Power & Light electrical plant at LaCyne would be using most of the coal stored from a mine that is
being excavated across the Kansas- Missouri border.
The coal from that mine is expected to double the amount of coal currently mined in the state, Livingston said.
HE ADDED THAT the Lactycine plant would be able to burn the coal because it had pollution control equipment to meet federal environmental emission standards.

An industry burning coal also must comply with state and local laws that concern chemicals such as sulfur.
regulations state that burned coal cannot have more than about 1 percent sulfur content.
resource materials for advisers and by recruiting faculty members who want to advise, the coordinator can improve the advising process, Goldman said.
Livingston said the industry usually met emission standards by installing a scrubber in smokestacks to prevent the release of sulfur into the air.
"The problem with advising is that the majority of advising is done right before you become an advisor's office. The result is that students don't get the kind of advice they deserve."
Livingston said if synthetic fuels became a popular energy resource, Kansas coal might be in more demand, but he did not predict an increase in strip mines in the state.
Livingston said most of the Kansas coal that companies might want to mine was in the northwest, but all are in southeastern Kansas and with it are located in Lincoln County. Where LaCryne is located.
The development of the system will begin with the hiring of an advising coordinator, Stephen Goldman, head of the college's academic on academic advising, said yesterday.
The long wait to see an adviser during enrollment may end for some students with the development of a new advising system in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
HE SAID ALTHOUGH Douglas County had coal reserves, it would not be an at-
The coordinator's duties will be geared toward improving the value of student advising he said.
New LA&S advising system to aid students
The search for a coordinator will begin within a few days, Goldman said, and the
college's search committee hopes to have the position filled before Jan.1.
The coordinator's position was created last May be the College Assembly as part of its push to "develop and maintain the best practices" in education, said Robert Coleb, dean of the college.
Secondary advisers assisting students with small difficulties during enrolment with a specialist (e.g., detailed advising, Goldman said. Students also will be able to seek help at the advising centre.
Part of the attempt to improve advising included the development of advising guidelines to be used by the coordinator. The creation of a group of 'first contact advisers' who would give students insight into their problems was one of these guidelines Goldman said.
The first contact advisers will be the first
academic advisers that liberal arts students meet and they will be available to students throughout their academic careers, he said.
Students will meet with their advisers some summer time to discuss the next project. By meeting their convenience, students and advisers will have more time to solve or refine a project.
The advisers will be organized by the coordinator's office, which will keep them up-to-date on graduation requirements, course requirements and options open to students.
