Services must fill needs, Long says
New director plans Union's functions
By MATT BARTEL Staff Reporter
Programs, services and facilities at the Kansas Union should respond to a way of college life that is faster paced than traditional colleges, the new Union director said yesterday.
To do that the Union director must have a good grasp of how the campus functions, said Jim Long, director, who will begin his duties as director Feb. 1.
"I look forward to working with the staff and the leadership in student affairs to improve areas that need it." Long said. "The challenge will be to be constructive, contemporary changes in the programs, services and facilities."
LONG, 38, will replace Frank Burge, who became the first full-time director in 1952. Burge saw the Union through three building additions, the construction of the Satellite Union in 1979, and the reconstruction of the Union after it was heavily damaged by fire in 1970.
Burge, 60, will retire at the end of January.
Long, who is a Newton native and graduate of Emporia State University, said he hoped to have a long and productive tenure.
"I plan to stay as long as I can grow professionally and personally and make a contribution to the Union," he said.
Long said he would make that contribution by keeping in touch with her husband.
those concerns to help shape the kind of programs the Union will offer.
"YOU DO THAT by making students feel welcome and making them feel that they can participate," he said. "I'd like this building to be busselling with activity."
He said students had become more concerned about their education in
*Students are generally more involved in getting the most they can out*
Another challenge that will face the Union during Long's tenure will be the efficiency of the building itself, Long said.
"A lot of that will have to do with whether you are turning lights on and off, keeping windows shut or regulating the heat properly," he said.
Natural gas, which fires the steam used to heat and cool the Union, became 30 percent more expensive as fuel, and the rate increase that went into effect Oct. 17.
Long served as program director of the Emporia State Union from 1966 to 1980.
He received a graduate degree in biology and a Specialist in Education at the University of California.
LONG CURRENTLY is the associate director of the University Union at Virginia Polytechnic Institute in Blacksburg. He has held that position for 10 years.
"Virginia is a nice state, and we lived in a beautiful part of the state," he said, "but we love the Midwest. Virginia can put up a few things from the Midwest."

Salvadoran army to attack rebel outposts, official says
By United Press International
SAN SALVADOR, EI Salvador—On the eve of President Reagan's Central American visit, EI Salvador's defense minister yesterday hinted at a major military operation against rebels that could include an attack on foreign sanctuaries.
"We will establish the final route toward the objective the people want, of pacification, and the armed force to play an important role." Garcia said.
"In the next few days determinations of the armed forces will be under way that will need the absolute collaboration of the Salvadoran people." Defense Minister for Garcia told a news conference.
Gen. Rafael Flores Lima, chief of the army high command, said four foreign rebel commanders — a
"This war has been imposed on us from outside the country, and because of that we have decided, I repeat one final time, to undertake an action that tries to end everything that is happening."
Cuban, two Nicaraguaans and a Honduran — were among guerrillas killed in the past five days of fighting.
Flores Lima cited their reported presence as proof of foreign involvement in the 3-year-old rebellion by leftist guerrillas against El Salvador's U.S.-backed government.
by his side at a brief press conference were Lt. Gen. John Winn McEney and Adm. Syre A. Swartz, the first U.S. Army Inter-American Defense Board.
They are meeting with members of the Salvadoran high command on a brief inspection tour of the country, the U.S. Embassy said.
In another development, Salvadoran President Alvaro Magana named his official human rights commission. He was a month behind schedule because of apparent clashes between political parties and other participating organizations.
Commission members included conservative priest Freddy Delgado, the national police director Car. Carlos Renalo López Nula, Popular Democratic Union repre- senter and minister Marcelo and three Salvadoran lawyers.

ANOTHER SUPPLY-SIDE SHENANIGAN
In a recent CBS television interview White House Counsel Edwin Meese III suggested that a fair tax on unemployment benefits might encourage people to look harder for jobs. Said Mr. Meese: "We do know that generally when unemployment benefits end, most people find jobs very quickly after that point".
Yet a svndicated effort by Spencer Rich of the Washington Post tells us:
"In part because of cuts that President Reagan proposed and Congress made in the program last year, and in part because the recession has been one of the greatest threats to Americans without jobs are receiving unemployment benefits today. This compares with 88 percent in the depths of the 1975 recession."
While Mr. Meese bibbley implies that the payment of unemployment benefits is prolonging the recession, Mr. Rich points out that because of both President Reagan-proposed cuts which were passed by Congress and the length of this recession that 18 to 23 percent fewer people are now receiving unemployment benefits than did in the 1975 recession, If Mr. Meese's thesis was correct then these several million people not having worked would once again be working and the country would be 'bailout in recession.'
"In cities across the country there is emerging a group that may be
A study by the U.S. Conference of City Human Services Officials informs us that:
"In cities across the country there is emerging a group that may be termed the 'new poor'—people who are losing their jobs, exhausting their financial resources, exhausting their unemployment benefits, and losing their homes".
While discussing the "increasing numbers of unemployed and homeless persons requiring food and shelter", the U.S. Conference of Mayors admits that "in many cities, existing resources cannot meet needs in a winter predicted by many to be the worst of the century".
Abraham Lincoln once described this country's government as one "of the people, by the people, for the people". Can such a government maintain an economic mechanism which first casts aside and then ignores 11.6 million of its charges and their dependents?
