Incoming governor to name 4 regents Carlin will leave choices to Hayden
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Gov. John Carlin will give Mike Hayden the opportunity to make four appointments to the ninemember Kansas Board of Regents, partly because of a state law that governs the filling of vacancies which occur during the transition period between two administrations.
Carlin, a Democrat, has held open one seat on the board since last summer when John G. Montgomery, of Junction City, resigned to run for lieutenant governor on Tom Docking's unsuccessful Democratic ticket.
Legally, Carlin has the power to replace Montgomery because the vacancy was created well before the transition period, which started with the election of Hayden as governor Nov. 4 and runs until his inauguration Jan. 12.
However, Carlin said at a recent news conference he would not do to Hayden what former Gov. Robert F. Bennett, a Republican, had done to him in 1978. In the weeks after Carlin derailed Bennett's bid for re-election in 1978, the lame-duck governor appointed two new members to the Board of Regents.
As incoming governor, Carlin objected to the appointments and only one was confirmed by the Senate. In response to Bennett's action, the 1979 Legislature gave all new governors power to withdraw any appointments made during the transition period.
The regents panel sets policy and budget for six state universities and the Kansas Technical Institute in Salina. Its members serve free of charge, and it is considered one of the
Besides the opening created by Montgomery's resignation, three more vacancies will be created Dec 31, when the terms of three more regents expire. Those regents are: Patricia W. Caruthers, Kansas City; Sandra McMullen, senior member of the panel, Hutchinson; and William R. Roy, a former congressman from Topeka. All three are Democrats.
Sue River, spokeswoman for Carlin, said Monday the retiring governor would not try and replace Caruthers, McMullen or Roy and would forgo filling the Montgomery vacancy if Hayden objected to his choice.
most prestigious appointments in state government.
Hayden will not get to stock the board with fellow Republicans, however, because state law limits membership to no more than five members of the same political party.
The remaining regents are Richard R. Reinhardt, an Erie Democrat, and four Republicans: Donald C. Slawson, Wichita; Richardo W. Dodderidge, Mission Woods; Norman W. Brandeberry, Russell; and chairman Frank J. Becker, El Dorado. That means Hayden can name one more Republican and three Democrats or unaffiliated regents.
McMullen is completing her second four-year term on the board while Caruthers is finishing her first term since being appointed in January 1983.
Roy was named to the board in January 1985 to fill the remaining two years of former regent Archie Dykes.
Salvation Army gets shelter for homeless
By JOHN BENNER
Staff writer
City commissioners last night approved the use of the Salvation Army gymnasium for the housing of Lawrence homeless during the winter.
The Salvation Army building, 946 New Hampshire St., could house as many as 75 people each night through February or March, said L.F. Dave Jones of the Salvation Army.
The commission approved the temporary request for the shelter with
They asked that loitering not be permitted in the area, the shelter be chaperoned, the occupancy level be approved by the fire department, the rear door to the gymnasium be used only for emergencies and a light that did not bother the neighbors be installed on the southeast corner of the building over the alley.
Jones said the shelter would open each day at nightfall and would remain open until 8 a.m. the next day. He said intoxicated persons would not be admitted to the shelter.
Mayor Sandra Praeger asked Jones what assurance the neighbors would have that intoxicated persons who were turned away from the shelter would not loiter in the area.
Some neighbors of the Salvation Army building sent a letter to the commissioners last week, saying they were concerned that people would loiter near the shelter.
Jones said the Salvation Army was working with the Lawrence police to ensure that the area near the shelter was patrolled regularly to prevent loitering.
Jones said he had 120 volunteers to help staff the shelter through the winter months. He said the shelter would open only if at least two people showed up to chaperone the gymnasium on a particular night.
Commissioner Howard Hill aske
Jones what training the volunteers
would have before they were asked to
chaperone the shelter.
Jones said the volunteers were attending orientation and training sessions with the police department and with Alcoholics Anonymous.
Commissioner Ernest Angin asked Jones whether the shelter would limit the number of times someone could stay there overnight.
Jones said the light in the alley had been installed so it would not bother nearby residents.
Hill wanted to know what the Salvation Army would do to get habitual visitors out of the shelter to become self-sufficient.
Jones said, "We will communicate with them as much as they let us. We're helping them to trust us — then they'll trust the city of Lawrence."
"We will not limit the number of nights," Jones said. "We just want them to know we will be open and available for them."
Jones said the shelter would like to handle complaints from neighbors who are arise. He said the Salvation Army had already met with residents near the shelter to discuss its operation.

Government interest urged

Students are missing an opportunity to shape their own education, according to officials in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
As of yesterday, only 20 undergraduates in the college had signed up to fill more than 100 available seats in the governing bodies of the college, the college assembly and two standing committees, said Pam Houston, assistant to the dean.
Nomination deadline is 5 p.m. today, and applications can be turned in at 106 Strong Hall. The college assembly elections run along with the Student Senate elections on Nov. 19 and 20.
In years past, the elections have been only a formality because fewer students than the number of seats have been nominated. Each class is allowed 27 seats, but last year, only one of the classes nominated more than 27 people.
Students often aren't interested, Houston said, and they sign up just to put it on their resumes.
"If the students acted as a group I think they would have quite some influence," Houston said.
assembly, given present faculty attendance, she said.
But attendance is also a problem for the students.
The students could outnumber the faculty at the college assembly, given present faculty attendance, she said.
John Landgrebe, faculty member of the Committee on the Budget, said he had only seen one student at the meetings over the last two or three years. The committee has three student members, one of them undergraduate.
"They hardly ever show up," he said. "Last year when I was chairman I sent out notice before every meeting, but I never heard anything."
Shwaun Tunnell, Hutchinson senior, said she had been to the budget committee a couple of times during the two years she had served on it, but that she often had scheduling problems.
"Our meetings are always on Fridays at 3," she said, "so it's kind of hard."
Being on the committee was confusing, but interesting, she said.
Landgrebe said budgeting was a complicated business, and he could understand students who tired of it.
might even be a little on the dull side," Landgrebe said. Felix Moos, chairman of the Committee on Undergraduate Studies and Advising, said he only occasionally had seen students at the committee meetings—once this semester.
"In the '60s they were always here," Moos said. The committee now has six student members who
"I can't send the sheriff after them," Moos said. "We can't really force them."
But absences are regrettable, he said, because the committee should be central to the concerns of undergraduates at KU. All changes in undergraduate degree programs, courses and requirements go through this committee.
Jay Gerber, Northbrook, Ill., sophomore, said this was his second year in the undergraduate committee, but that class conflicts and other activities had made it difficult for him to attend this semester.
"I got on this for the experience," Gerber said.
"As a freshman, I made it to a couple of meetings," he said. "I go in there with a bunch of teachers, and we talk about everything."
"Sometimes the teachers just look and give you kind of a snarl," Gerber said. "As a freshman I felt kind of intimidated going into that room.
Gerber said he valued the opportunity to see what went on behind the walls of Strong Hall, but dealing with teachers could sometimes be intimidating.
"Maybe that's a reason for not going so much."

nounced that three more cannons — two named — were being considered for dean of the School of Journalism.
Bruce Linton, professor of journalism and chairman of the dean search committee, said yesterday that Will Norton from the University of Mississippi and Paul Janensch from Gannett Co., Inc., were candidates for the position.
The committee announced on Monday that Mike Kautsch, associate professor of journalism, was a candidate. The final dean candidate will be announced after his visiting arrangements have been made, Linton said.
Norton, chairman of the journalism department at the University of Mississippi, will visit campus
Janensch, general news executive for Gannett in Washington, D.C., will be on campus Monday and Tuesday. He will meet with students and answer questions at 2:30 p.m. Monday in 100 Stauffer-Flint and at 10:15 a.m. Tuesday in 200 StauFFER-Flint.
tomorrow and Friday. He will be available for students' questions in 204 Stauffer-Flint hall at 2:30 p.m.
tomorrow and 9:30 a.m. Friday.
Candidates are brought to the school for the interviewing process, Linton said The candidate has a chance to look over the school and the campus, and the committee has a chance to ask questions about his ideas concerning journalism education and administrative style, he said.
"It's an important time for both parties." he said.
Linton said the committee hoped to recommend more than one candidate
to Del Brinkman, vice chancellor for academic affairs, by the beginning of December.
"We hope that this will be successfully completed before Christmas," Linton said of the dean selection.
Brinkman, who will make the final decision, was the dean of journalism for 11 years before accepting the position of vice chancellor for academic affairs last April. He took office July 1.
Brinkman replaced Deanell Tacha as vice chancellor after President Reagan named her to a federal judgeship.
Lee Young, professor of journalism, was named interim dean when Brinkman left, and will remain in office until the new dean takes office July 1.
