Emergency council revived to help needy
The Emergency Service Council is in operation again to provide for the needs of families and others unable to meet their daily needs.
The deteriorating economic situation has increased work for the Ballard Center, Penn House, Douglas County District Welfare Office and other service organizations. The Emergency Service unit is designed to relieve part of the increase.
The Council uses only volunteers. It is active only when the needs of people in the
Lawrence area reach an emergency level.
The Council will be active at least until
the election, pastor of the Good

It probably will remain loosely organized after February so that it will be ready to act if another emergency situation arises, Dorn said.
In 1971 the Council was formed and was given for about six months. For the last three years it remained a member.
Dorn said the Council had reorganized to collect canned goods and raise funds for emergency assistance to people in the Lawrence area.
The Lawrence High School Student Council is sponsoring Add-A-Can, a drive to collect damaged goods from the Lawrence High School for scraping and Add-A-Can will be placed in each participating store, Elaine Orch, a member of Emergency Service Council, said yesterday.
She said she hoped people would take a
car from what they bought and put it
in the cart.
"In 1971 a tremendous amount of food was given in this way." Orchard said.
Several student and community organizations are helping the Council reach its goals.
Mark Pennington, Interfraternity Council (IFC) president, said he would recommend the presidents of each fraternity that they solicit from faculty in house meeting or during dinner this week.
Dorn said. The Council has set a goal to recruit a person in the organized student groups.
Churches will also have boxes labeled bring-A-Can in which members may place their items.
"It's a very worthwhile service," Pennington said.
University Housing Office and the AURH assembly.
Each campus affairs representative will be in charge of collecting the money in her sorority, Kellye McCarthy, Campus Affairs Chairman for Panhellenic, said.
Harry Wigner, vice president of the Association of University Residence Halls (AUR) will encourage halls to contribute." However, the project had to be approved by both the
Elizabeth Ervin, member of the All Scholarship Hall Council, said the collection would be handled on a hall-to-hall basis within the scholarship halls.
Those students not living in an organized group are encouraged to send checks to Volunteer Clearing House earmarked for the Emergency Service Council, Orchid said.
Searches continue
The search for a new dean for the School of Social Welfare has begun again.
Slide shows of Kansas plants, works of great photojournalists and specimens for the invertebrate zoology classes all have been made available to students in the past by money grants from the University of Kansas Endowment Association.
David Harcastle, acting dean of the school, said the school's search committee would reconvene to continue the search immediately.
Emergency funds will be raised in the different organized living groups at KU,
"I wanted to study the area around Clinton Reservoir before impoundment began so we could see the changes in water levels that would occur in the area." Beer said recently.
The nominee who had been offered the position declined it because of the pressing needs of his current position, Hardcastle or Hardcastle wouldn't identify the nominee.
Grants aid profs' ideas in classroom
The advisory board that reviews the proposals is strict on cutting what they consider fat in proposal budgets, said Kaehe Schick, graduate assistant to OIR.
These projects have taken the form of obtaining specimens for laboratories, developing a computer program in cheek samples to generate tape recordings for foreign language labs.
The Instructional Improvement program, started in 1972, made available $30,000 from the Endowment Association this year to improve instruction for students devoted to improving class instruction.
A search committee for the School of Journalism may be named later this week.
In 1972, the first year of the program,
$10,000 was granted. In the second year, it
was boosted to $30,000, the same amount as
this year.
Another slide show was developed for the botany course, Kansas Plants, by William Bloom and James Harrick, both assistant professors in botany.
The two received $550 two years ago to make slides of specimens and to cover traveling expenses across the state. They traveled to different ecosystem regions and graphed vegetation, and considered such as overgrazing and burning of land.
One example is Robert Beer, professor in systematics and ecology, who received money to finance two ideas he had to improve his teaching.
The other part of his program was to survey various streams near Clinton Reservoir to discover various animals and plants for his invertebrate zoology classes.
The history department also benefited from the instruction awards through the efforts of Norman Saul, associate professor in history, for his 19th Century Russian class.
The money is spent on class instruction improvements, not research, the Office of Policy and Planning.
One of the faculty members receiving money this year is William Seymour, assistant professor of photo journalism, who will use the money to develop a series of slides on great photojournalists' works and to tape comments.
