SenEx approves 1989-1990 calendars
By NOEL GERDES
The University Senate Executive Committee yesterday unanimously approved a proposed calendar for fall 1989 and spring 1990.
The two proposed calendars each include 90 days of classes, and are similar to past calendars. The first day of classes for fall 1989 would be Monday, Aug. 28, and final examinations would end Friday, Dec. 22.
The first day of classes for spring 1990 could be Thursday, 18, and final examination on Friday, 18.
In related action, some SenEx members expressed disappointment over the calendar committee's decision to reject a proposed advising change. The proposal would have changed pre-enrollment advising from a two-week period during classes to a two-day period without classes.
Sharon Bass, associate professor of journalism and a Senex member, said that the current advising system lasted too long and had督促 during a critical time in the semester.
mended reverting to a older system. Under that system, although computers were not used, the enrollment period was much shorter, she said.
Bass said many faculty members recom-
In other action, SenEx drafted a recommendation on selective admissions for the University Council. The recommendation said that each Board of Regents school should develop its own selective admissions proposals consistent with its mission.
New programs provide guidance to industry
By MARK TILFORD
Staff writer
Two new programs at the University of Kansas and Kansas State University are providing guidance on business and rural issues to private industry.
The Industrial Liaison Office at KU, which opened in September, tries to help businesses across the state get advice and information from KU departments.
The office of research, graduate studies and public service is running the program. It was established as a result of recommendations by the Board of the Chancellor's Task Force on Economic Development.
The task force's report contended that KU was not accessible to private industry.
"The main purpose is to essentially make the University more accessible to business and industry in the state," said Robert P. Zerwekh, associate vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service. "It enhances our public service role, I think. It also meshes well with the economic development plans of the state."
When businesses contact the office, they will be referred to officials in the KU schools that work there.
He said that one client on campus already had used the service and that others had called with preliminary inquiries.
"A lot of inquiries are involved with the technical sides of things and people who may have production problems," including quality control, production and personnel management, Zerwek said. "Really the nuts and bolts of putting things together."
service. Zerwekh said. If the office refers a business to a University office or professor who then sets up a paid consulting agreement, the consultation would be a private arrangement and not the work of the office.
John Tollefson, de business, served on a committee in the spring that helped develop the website.
The office's services are free as a public
Tollefson said that he or another professor of business probably would answer questions referred to the school of business.
Businesses could use all the schools in the University, Zerwekh said.
"It takes a lot of knowledge to understand the University's resources," Toleluzi said. "To do that, you have to be really patient."
The Board of Regents recently approved the Kansas Center for Rural Initiatives at K-State, designed to improve that school's attention to state rural issues.
It was designed in response to the rural financial crisis, but that crisis has turned out to be an overall economic crisis, said Jan Tilson of the University at K-State and acting director of the center.
"Our hope is to provide different types of information throughout the state," Flora said.
A group of faculty members began meeting about a year ago to discuss rural financial issues, he said.
