Schools to offer business fellowships
By CRAIG HERRMANN
Staff writer
Fewer students are entering doctoral programs in the nation's business schools, causing a shortage of college business faculty with doctorate degrees.
Because of this instructor shortage, the KU School of Business will participate in a new national doctoral fellowship program that offers a $10,000 stipend to qualified first-year doctoral students. Renate MaiDalton, director of KU's business doctoral program, said yesterday.
Dalton said that beginning in fall 1987, 12 national fellowships of $10,000 each would be awarded to Canadian or U.S. students entering doctoral programs in any of 80 participating schools of business, including KU.
To participate in the national fellowship program, each university must award a $10,000 fellowship of its own at least once every two years.
The national fellowship program is sponsored by the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business, the Graduate Management Council and the John Hancock Companies.
she said.
David Shulenburger, associate dean of academic affairs for the business school, said that about 16 percent of faculty positions requiring doctorates in the nation's business schools were vacant.
Shulenburger said KU's business school was also experiencing a faculty shortage. He said he thought the school needed about 15 to 30 more faculty members with doctorates.
The deadline for the national fellowship is Jan. 15, 1987, and the deadline for KU's fellowship is Feb. 15, 1987. Both fellowships are for the fall 1987 semester.
Despite the increased demand for students enrolling in KU's undergraduate and master's degree
programs in business, Shulenburger said fewer students were pursuing doctoral degrees.
This fall's enrollment shows a decline in business students because students now must meet additional requirements before they can be declared business majors.
"I think students are being attracted to high-paying positions that may not require a Ph.D.," he said. "Students are finding that it's not financially inviting to get the Ph.D."
Shulenburger also said he thought students were being driven away from the doctoral program because they didn't want to pay for four more years of college. He said he thought the $10,000 fellowships would make the decision easier for qualified students.
According to the University timetable addendum for fall 1986, instate tuition for a full doctoral course
load is $705, and out-of-state tuition
for the same coursework is $1,660.
Although officials in the School of Business are enthusiastic about the new fellowship program, KU will not benefit from its own graduates.
"We don't hire students who go through our own doctoral program," Shulenburger said.
Shulenburger said that he thought that only one member on the business school faculty had been through KU's doctoral program, but that the staff member had taught at other universities for several years.
"We hope that by participating in the national fellowship program, we will make more doctorally qualified people available to the academic community as a whole," he said.
Shulenburger he hoped KU would hire some of the doctoral graduates from other schools in the program.
New Rusty's will replace older store

Rusty's Food Center, 23rd and Louisiana streets, will be demolished in May to make way for a new, expanded Rusty's, the store's owner and president said Monday.
"The 23rd Street Rusty's is in a good location, and I wanted a bigger store to stay competitive in the marketplace," said Jim Lewis, the owner and president of Rusty's Food Centers. Inc.
Rusty Springer built the Rusty's on 23rd and Louisiana streets in 1951, and it was the first supermarket built in Lawrence. Lewis said.
The new Rusty's is scheduled to open in June and will be about four times bigger than the present store, covering about 54,000 square feet. Rusty's now covers about 13,500 square feet.
Lewis said the store would be the biggest Rusty's in Lawrence, and construction costs would be about $1.2 million.
The supermarket will offer an expanded frozen food section in addition to a delicatessen, bakery and videocassette rental counter.
The store will require from 100 to 150 employees, and 75 percent of those jobs will be new positions, Lewis said.
Lewis dedicated a 24-foot-by-500-foot strip of land running from the intersection of 23rd and Louisiana streets to 23rd and Ohio streets to the city of Lawrence so that the city could widen 23rd Street and make the 23rd and Louisiana Street intersection safer, he said.
In return, Lewis received permission to close part of Ohio Street just south of 23rd Street to expand his store.
He bought five houses along the northern one-third of Ohio Street in September, and two of the houses already have been demolished to make way for the eastern boundary of the new store.
Lewis said one of the remaining three houses would be torn down, and the other two houses would be moved.
Group to study language classes
By ATLE BJORGE

Because of soaring enrollments this fall, the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences recently appointed a task force to deal with problems in the foreign language departments.
Robert Lineberry, the dean, appointed the seven-member group to study a variety of problems, including overcrowding and a faculty shortage.
"It's not as if I have a specific set of nine questions that I want answered," Lineberry said
For example, the department of Spanish and Portuguese this semester had a 24 percent increase in enrollment over last fall. Other departments saw similar increases.
vesterday.
James Carothers, associate dean of the college and head of the task force, said that the cooperation between KU and other universities needed improvement.
The college needs a clearer policy on where to place freshmen who have taken language classes at other colleges and high schools, he said.
he said.
The task force wants to encourage more study of foreign languages in high school to shift some of the burden away from the college.
The task force has seven members — Carothers and the chairmen of the six language departments in the college.
Carothers said a report with recommended changes of college
policy would be ready this spring. The task force had a preliminary meeting Sept. 30.
Andrew Tsubaki, chairman of the department of East Asian languages and literatures, said that he hoped the task force would address the lack of coordination between projected enrollment and budget allocation.
The department can respond only to higher enrollment after classes already are overflowing, he said.
Tsubaki said that the department had some indication early on that more students would enroll in East Asian languages this semester, but that the reaction from the college was, "OK, give me some hard evidence."
