the college, said he could make no comment whether funds for additional faculty in the department of communication studies would be awarded.
Robert Lineberry, dean of the college, was unavailable for comment.
KU's communication studies program consistently has been ranked nationally among the 10 best in its field.
The last rating was a report in the January 1984 issue of Communication Education. In it, KU was one of five schools to rate among the top 10 schools in four of the five categories surveyed.
"I don't know how we would rate today," Linkugel said. "The word is out on the field that we're losing faculty."
If nothing is done, the professional
Rondy Smith, graduate student and teaching assistant in the department, also is concerned.
reputation of the department will suffer dramatically, he said.
"I came here on the recommendation of someone who had received his doctorate here 10 years ago and found things to be quite different," she said.
There is quality instruction, but the
rapport between graduate students and faculty members hasn't been as good as it could have been because the faculty members have less time, she said.
Calvin Downs, professor of speech and drama, agreed.
"I always taught two sections of theory of the interview, but this semester. I only have time for one section," he said.
Hospitals
The Statewide Health Co-ordinating Council found in its report that about 581,000 people in Kansas do not have the financial resources to pay for medical care and are not covered by insurance.
The advisory board, composed of hospital administrators, physicians, state legislators and consumers, examines health issues in Kansas.
Continued from p.1
Barbara Gibson, board chairman, said she and the committee were shocked by the high figures.
"This is a terrible hardship and unacceptable to the moral idea in the country that people have a
right to health care regardless of their ability to pay," she said.
The council said the medically indigent were more likely to be in poor health, have babies with a lower birth weight and suffer hypertension and illnesses than people with higher incomes.
When care is sought, it is more costly and intensive because the medically indigent have greater medical problems and have not been treated for previous illnesses, the report said.
The report also said that the help most often sought by the needy concerned maternity and infant
care, trauma, alcohol and drug abuse and psychiatric help.
Three large groups make up the medically indigent, said Bill Pagano, health planner for KDHE and board member. He said the groups were the unemployed, those who could not acquire insurance because of health or occupational reasons and those who work in jobs that don't offer health benefits.
In 1985, 62,000 Kansans lost their jobs and their health insurance benefits along with them.
Presently, about 11,000 Kansans are "medically uninsurable," and
about 500,000 are employed in jobs that don't offer insurance benefits
The medically uninsurable are persons who can't obtain insurance.
The report further identified five high-risk groups in Kansas most likely to be medically indigent:
People between the ages of 60 and 64 who are not employed and are ineligible for Medicare.
- Women, aged 45 to 65, who are unemployed or employed in jobs lacking health benefits.

RALEIGH, N.C. - Former President Jimmy Carter said yesterday that television evangelist Jerry Falwell could "go to hell" for questioning his Christian faith.
"There is nothing any television evangelist can do to shake my faith," said Carter, a devout Baptist. "Jerry Falwell can — in a very Christian way — as far as I'm concerned, he can go to hell."
Carter, at a news conference at Meredith College, blasted Falwell for recently questioning whether a Christian could have initiated the Salt II and Panama Canal treaties, two hallmarks of the Carter presidency.
In a news conference before giving a lecture on "America: A Champion of Peace," Carter criticized the Reagan administration for a lack of initiative in the Middle East peace process and its support for contra rebels in Nicaragua.
"For the $5^{1/2}$ years since I left the White House there has been no priority given to peace in the Middle East as a process," Carter said. "There is no doubt in my mind that is why we
have seen terrorism erupt, in all its terrible forms, throughout that region."
Carter also said the United States was destined to lose the contra war and predicted escalated fighting and bloodshed.
The former president also predicted that Nicholas Daniloff, the jailed Moscow correspondent for U.S. News and World Report magazine, would be swapped for a Soviet facing spy charges in the United States.
"Although both sides have said there would not be a swap, my guess is there will be a swap." Carter said.
Carter said fundamentalists, "driven by fervor and total commitment," might succeed in grabbing control of the Southern Baptist Convention.
"There is a growing danger of fundamentalist extremist groups closing their grasp on the institutions of the Southern Baptist Convention." Carter said. "The fundamentalists are driven by fervor and total commitment. I think that's why they've been so successful."
