Administrators differ on placement
By ROBERT A. GAVIN
Reporter
Comments and opinions about a plan recommending modified centralized job placement for the University varied radically yesterday after administrative personnel directed the 10 schools as contacted on the subject.
The controversy stems from the Appleberry Report recommendations to provide a form of centralized placement for students. Appleberry, American Council on Education administrative intern, made the study last year at the University of Kansas for Chancellor Archie R. Dykes.
"I feel that now is the time to move boldly ahead to achieve a quality placement program," Fete Kanatzar, director of Work Force 75, said. "Some degree of centralization will have to be adopted. Administrators must ensure that our placement program will enhance the reputation of the University as well as bring to KU outstanding students."
"We would like to develop a placement service for people who don't yet have a placement service." William M. Bardell, president, CITI.
are concerned with providing service to those who want it."
The main question, Balfour said is whether to move toward a completely centralized plan, a completely decentralized combination of the two. No decision on the placement should be made, he said, and he wouldn't speculate on its form.
"I think it is very possible that we will move to some centralized operation, but with satellite operations in the various schools," Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, said.
Minimum action would be "at least a referral service," he said.
John Conard, assistant to the chancellor, said the Appleberry Report was initiated because placement "was a matter of some concern." Many large companies who recruit at the University find it more convenient to have a relocation team that is prospective employees, he said. A centralized placement service could save a full day's time for a company, he said.
"If we had a central office, we could provide a more efficient service for the students." Conard said.
"We would support a centralized office, but it would
have to meet a special school's needs." Edith Black, assistant to the dean of social welfare, said. "Centralized placement would cut through the search process to zero in on jobs available."
She said she thought centralized placement would take into account “a variety of models” for employment that had access to computers would seek. She said that 22 accelerated students were warehouses by January in order to enter the market at a better time.
"There might be room for centralized placement. I can't say yes or no." said Hugh Cotton, associate dean of
He said the school's dilemma on placement was the variation of times and interviewers coming to the campus and also the fact that all pharmacists must be licensed before entering the job market.
"As far as the School of Fine Arts, it would not be particularly helpful to have a placement bureau for the University because various requests come to faculty and students of the clean of fine arts said. Gorton spoke of the importance of the department's doubled doubted whether "computerized, centralized placement" would be useful. See PLACEMENT Page 8
The University of Kansas athletic department has agreed to release 200 parking spaces in X-zone for the two remaining KU football home games.
Spaces reopen
The release of the parking spaces was announced yesterday by Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor. The release leaves 240 free spaces in the city.
The decision earlier this semester to reserve the 440 spaces for athletic contributors touched off a controversy when SenEx charged that Shankel had ignored University governance procedures in making the decision.
The 200 released spaces will be in the south end of X-zone and will be sold and regulated by KU Security and Parking personnel as in the past.
Those using the newly available spaces in X-zone should come in the rear entrance from Mississippi Street, directly west of the Kansas Union.
The spaces will be sold on a first come-first served basis. Williams Fund contributors with green area permits should enter for parking from the McCook and Mississippi entrance as indicated on their permits, according to Capt. Bob Ellison of Security and Parking.
Shankel said the free shuttle bus service from N-zone would be continued in spite of the increased parking near the stadium.

Senate axes request of legal aid group
By JOHN JOHNSTON Senate Reporter
Recent controversy over funding the Legal Aid Society reached a peak last night when the Student Senate voted to reject the group's fall budget request.
After a heated, hour-long debate, which featured many speakers for both sides, the Senate defeated the reduced request of $1,870 by a 2-1 margin. The Douglas County Legal Aid Society originally had asked for $4,085 from the fall contingency fund, but, unsuccessfully, they voted for last night's vote in the wake of change that the group didn't help many students.
Deanell Tacha, director of the society, told the Senate that several faulty accusations had been made by Senate leaders in Kansan stories concerning the organization. She said charges had been made that the Legal Aid Society had its reported budget from $16,000 to $23,000. The Senate said, she said. The $25,000 was actually a total cost figure, not the operating budget of the group, according to Tacha.
She also answered a charge that the society had threatened cuts in aid to students to influence the Senate's decision. She added that she had to cut services when were funds cut.
Lewis Gregory, chairman of the Senate
The legal aid representatives said it wasn't fair to look only at the number of student cases heard each year. They said that the service was available to most KU students, and that service was comparable to health insurance in that it was used only when needed.
Finance and Auditing Committee, countered Tacha's statements by arguing that the Senate had paid its share of the society's budget when it allocated money last spring. He also said the qualifications for aid from students to take advantage of the services.
Hal Uralkan, a student senator, said, "I just think legal aid was slaughtered. They说 that much money and they provide services to people who believe the way Beisner and Paxson jumped on legal aid. Here's a group that doesn't have an oval compass that KUAC or Forensics has."
Peggy Grant and Duane Fox, student representatives for the Legal Aid Society, also presented arguments in favor of the request for money. They said advice was given to many students who didn't qualify for specific legal aid.
A change in students' attitudes in recent years has resulted in more enthusiasm for Homecoming, Jerry Waugh, assistant athletic director, said yesterday.
Homecoming regains popularity
Urbanek was referring to statements made by John Beisermer, student body president of the University of Tulsa, tributing writer to the Kansan, that described Legal Aid Society tactics as blackmail. He said the stories appearing in the publication had the effect of unfair pretrial publicity.
This weekend should be exciting with

more interest in sports programs and University activities, Waugh said.
In an editorial that appeared in Tuesday's Kansas, Paxson said, "The Senate should refuse to be blackmailed by the Douglas County Legal Aid Society. And, if the group's recent actions are any indication of how it provides legal services, the Senate should be suspicious of all funding requests from DCLAS in the future."
In response to the Senate's lengthy deliberations Beineir said, "Both sides must share their cases and presented their statistics, and then gave it fair consideration."
Beaiser said he didn't think last night's decision to cut supplemental funding would have any effect on requests made by the group from next year's budget. But Gregory said there could be problems when the Legal Aid Society applied for funding again. First, that the service isn't good and the attempt to fund it has a more dramatic effect on the Senate are potential problems during next spring's budget deliberations, he said.
