but had been hampered by the availability of resources.
He said the administration was trying to work through the KU Endowment Association to expand financial aid to minorities. But with the tight money he did, Jies said, this could possibly lead to reduction of other endowment programs.
Shankel said that the MECHA matter had been referred to SenEx merely for recommendations so that the matter could be made a body in the University governance system.
In other business, SenEx unanimously passed a resolution stating the responsibilities and functions of the Senate and the House that related responsibilities and functions are:
"It will, together with the Dean of Libraries, review, evaluate and make recommendations on library policies, acquisition and distribution of funds, allocation of book and serial purchase hours, hours of operation and case of access
- Act as a liaison between the libraries and users, and forward any recommendations agreed upon by the committee to SenEx.
-Examine pertinent sections of the faculty handbook and make any recommended changes in wording to bring it "in"

Chancellor Archie R. Dykes; Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, and William Argersinger, vice chancellor for research and graduate studies, attended the meeting.
Graduate students have specialized needs that aren't being met, Leroy Mcdermott, president of the graduate student council, or graduate students and administrators.
The meeting centered on requirements for degrees, the low pay of graduate students for their work and the lack of opportunities among graduate students, McDermott said.
No specifics were settled at the meeting, and the group did agree to meet again in two weeks.
Graduate students expressed their needs for communication among one another and had a friendly, animated discussion with the administrators, McDermott said.
of the libraries to be conducted by an outside consultant.
"The issue is that grad students are worked so hard they don't have the time to have any input into the University system." McDermott said. "They are too busy to do anything but mutter an occasional, 'Yes, Master,'"
Graduates voice needs at meeting
The idea would be to get more of the communication that a few of the graduate students have with faculty and adders to all of the graduate students, he said.
The committee declined to act on a letter from Jim Feldstein, director of labor relations, sent to the administration discussing tenure and bargaining; the committee denied that the letter wasn't for publication and was forwarded to the committee by Shankel for its advice.
Job placement and fee waivers also were discussed at the meeting, John Beiser, president of the College of Business students want a centralized placement bureau, Beiser said, because the graduate students are at the University for an assignment to expect the University to help them find jobs.
Graduate students might get some financial help in the form of fee wavers, Beisner said. The Board of Regents has sent a proposal to the Legislature that would allow students up to $10,000 in fee wavers. He said some of that $120,000 might be used for graduate studies.
The Regents' proposal wasn't directly mentioned at the meeting. Beiser said.
Francis Heller, professor of law, said that if the document was adopted by the administration the action at the present time would be a violation of state law if SenEx were to be involved in any future collective bargaining measures.
SenEx also declined to make specific recommendations regarding an evaluation of undergraduate programs at the state universities. Responding to a letter sent by Ambrose Saricks, vice chancellor for education at the University of Pittsburgh, send the request back to Saricks so he could consult the internal committees of the University for their opinions.
Joel Gold, professor of English, said he wasn't sure the committee should involve itself in what seemed to be an interim management decision. He said that if the comments on tenure were adopted by the University as policy, he would be upset.
The committee also heard a report from Gold on the progress of the Committee on Financial Exigency. He said a subcommittee to be convened by Adrienne Hyle, another member of SenEx, would try to reconcile differences between reports submitted by the American Association of University Directors and Senior Consultants before back as a single report for consideration by the whole committee, Gold said.
The final portion of the meeting was due to discuss procedural questions and internal issues.

chairman begin to take a strong look at teaching performance in making decisions about faculty pay increase distribution. The Kansas Board of Regents has requested a 10 per cent faculty pay increase for next year, Beiser said.
Another resolution to be introduced at tonight's StuEd meeting is one aimed at the new Student Health Service Advisory Board. The resolution will ask them to investigate the financial status of the health service at the University of Kansas.
"I'm curious to see at this time if classroom teaching is really being used in any way as criterion for distributing these salary increases," he said.

Jim Carroll enjoys working with a vicious killer.
Just three years out of college, laser technologist Jim Carroll didn't make senior research physicist at Eastman Kodak Company by acting timid. So when he had the courage to pit science against a dread disease, we backed him. Win or lose.
The medical community enlisted Kodak's help in training lasers on the war on cancer. We responded with a pair of 500 million watt laser systems. And left the rest up to Jim.
In time, the lasers proved unsuccessful in treating cancer, but we'd do it again if we had to. Because while we're in business to make a profit, we care what happens to society. It's the same society our business depends on.
Kodak. More than a business.
