Finances to support those goals, which included attracting a wellqualified faculty and providing adequate lab equipment and books, were other factors in the accreditation, Semrow said.
The agency also verified through student interviews that the university was accomplishing its goals and that future guidelines were set up. We believe all four elements are important to institutional identification," he said. "It's a kind of a cyclical process, one feeds into the other."
Setting future guidelines was necessary for effective university operation, Semrow said.

said.
Hutchison said KU's accreditation was granted after a self-study outlined some strengths and weaknesses of the University.
Included as strengths were library resources and endowment money. Some weaknesses listed were low faculty and staff salaries, low teaching assistant compensation and lack of necessary laboratory equipment.
The team interviewed University faculty and students to verify the self-survey evaluation provided by the University, Hutchison said.
"The team members that come here in person really want to certify that that self-survey is genuine." Hutchison said.
Even before Bennett's remarks on accreditation, Hutchison said that the self-survey committee had included in its evaluation a chapter entitled "Educational Experiences," which contained student and alumni interviews.
Hutchison said that an alumni survey, part of the self-survey, showed that two-thirds of KU students who had been out of school for 25 years had gone to graduate school. He said this number was expected to rise.
Poets

impressive careers some listeners had not read any of their works.
"I'm taking a poetry class this semester, but I really don't know what to expect from tonight," Donna Stokes, Ottawa junior, said before the readings. "But I'm sure it will be great."
Karen Matheis, Overland Park senior, that she hadn't read works by Codrescu or Waldman but that she hoped to hear some good poetry.
Codrescu is an Romanian emigrant who has been writing and publishing poetry since the early '60s. His poem "License to Carry a Gun" won the 1970 Big Crown" series of Young Poets. He is a member of Public Radio's "All Things Considered."
"I really like beat poetry because of its fast pace and its Buddhist influence," she said.
When Codrescu took the stage he said that he had spent most of yesterday talking to strangers, meaning the press, and that he was glad that he was finally among friends.
There were many middle-aged people in the audience wearing headbands and sandals. Their clothes and bags had the leather fringes. The men had beards, the women wore little makeup, and both sexes had long hair.
Codrescu read from about 10 poems on subjects ranging from losing virginity in Romania to Stalin's death to Greyhound Bus rides. He said the first couple of poems were about his life.
"It seems I'm going to read my autobiography, and in a sense I am."

niductees. Walden teaches at the Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colo. She has written many books of poetry, including "Fast Speaking Woman," and has released a recording of her poem "Uh-Oh, Plutonium."
After Codrescu was done, Allen Ginsberg, one of the best known of the beat poets, shook his hand then introduced Anne Waldman.
Her passionate, rythmic poetry contrasted with Codrescu's calmer style. She also sang poems with and without accompaniment.
Mark Brooks, Lawrence resident, said he was impressed by Waldman.
"Her reading was the best I've ever seen." he said.
