Late orders delay text shipments
Only half of the textbook orders for next semester have been submitted although the deadline was two weeks ago, according to a bookstore Unit Bookstore's text department.
Further delay in ordering books inevitably will result in problems for students in January, a recent Faculty & Staff Newsletter said.
John Beimster, student body president, from SenEx in correcting the situation.
"The management of the bookstore has
indicated that as of last count, actually only 25 per cent of the orders have been submitted. He said yesterday "This daylay is deserved by faculty to faculty members by the bookstore."
"The bookstore must conduct a complete inventory of current stock, make a search for used books, verify publisher's orders for books and create a local policy for book buybacks based on these early orders. An ordering delay compares the process already complicated by holiday shipping delays."
Beisner said these problems resulted in a lower supply of used and less expensive books, if the needed books could be obtained at all.
The current decentralized faculty ordering isn't working as well as it could be.
Not all schools in the University use this decentralized process.
According to Dana Beilengbod, assistant dean of the School of Journalism, faculty book orders are turned in to the office, and journalism classes are ordered all at once.
Child labs do more than baby sit
Teachers learn from what they do in the child development laboratories of the department of human development and research at the University of the city, director of the program, said yesterday.
The laboratories are commonly referred to as the preschool, but LeBlanc said the term was misleading because the program was far more than a baby-sitting service.
Besides teaching the 80 to 90 children enrolled in the program, students are trained as teachers, and teaching methods are developed and tested, according to LaBlanc. If the laboratories accomplished their goal, they will be no reason to have them in the University.
The laboratories are divided into six classrooms of eight to sixteen children. A faculty member is usually in charge of each class and is aided by one to three graduate students and two to four undergraduate practicum students.
Most of the children are from 3 to 5 years old. LeBlanc said the child development laboratories worked with handicapped children, and children with special learning problems as well as with children who had no learning disabilities.

BSU wanted an SES director who was more in touch with the students.
The organization also expressed regret
that it was consulted before
Flanagan's vote.
Mary Townsend, director of minority affairs, said the BSU's allegations were based on Flanigan's former employment as a resident director at Ellsworth Hall. She said she couldn't address herself to this particular issue.
According to Flanigan, he was employed as assistant resident director of Ellsworth for four and a half months last fall. He was appointed director at Ellsworth on Feb. 11 of last year and he kept that position until Oct. 1.
Flanigan spent most of his time dealing with black students while he was an assistant resident director at the hall, he had to teach them about the role of director at Ellsworth, Flanigan said, some of its residents may have had a difficult time adjusting to the fact that he would have to spend less time with blacks and whites, which the needs of all students at Ellsworth.
Townsend said the BSU's protest was, in her mind, a forgotten incident. She said she had met several times with members of the BSU's protest, and the issue hadn't been mentioned
"The BSU protested the appointment and I don't see anything wrong with that," she said. "The BSU students are very open in expressing what they feel and I think that's good. People should get their feelings out on matters such as this."
children can learn from each other, according to the Description of Preschool Laboratory Classrooms. Procedures are developed to teach the children to independently cooperate with one another in learning skills, it said.
Another class is being used to collect data on Follow Through. Behavior Analysis
Classroom procedures. This study, according to Wilma Holt, project researcher, involves the use of tokens that are given to a child when he completes a prescribed academic task. The token can then be traded by the child for 20 minutes of an activity which he chooses from a list, she said.
What Mike Glover Has to Say About You,..KU
"During the past legislative session, I voted for every candidate who passed the ballot. Veterans Bitts. Locally, I worked with students and administration to extend library hours, and increase funding for the Compensation Center and new law."
"KU ranks extremely high nationally in scholastics, yet extremely low in faculty pay. To maintain our exemplary institution, I am in full support with the 10% per year as per law as requested by the Board of Regents."
... and Your Future in Kansas
"I have been able to directly involve KU students in the research and legal aid sites. Planning to continue that, I also hope to establish a representative in each living room and better help you affect the outcome key legislation."
"In working to make Kansas an attractive state to remain in after graduation, my legislative record speaks especially for: election and penal reforms, more equitable taxation, land use planning, citizens' rights of initiative and referendum, and the decriminalization of victim-less crime laws."

Never said books for business classes hadn't been ordered yet because instructors in the department weren't asked to turn in papers, so they timedable for that semester came out.
The School of Business uses the same system, according to Rheta Nowe, senior assistant professor at the School.
Book orders for the School of Business are usually turned in one or two weeks after completion.
The shortage of textbooks is a perennial problem. Last spring, several instructors who failed to turn in book orders on time were fired. And the department departments did not assign assistant instructors until after the bookstore deadline because the departments weren't sure how many they could afford to pay and that they didn't have enough staff before the deadline for the class schedules.
