Search panel to reduce AD list
The search committee to select a new KU athletic director will begin narrowing its list of applicants next week, members of the committee said yester-
Tomorrow is the last day it will accept applications and nominations.
the eight-member search committee, composed of students, faculty and alumni, will recommend several candidates for the job, and Chancellor Gene A. Budig will make the final decision.
Del Brinkman, chairman of the search committee and dean of the school, said that students have a lot to learn.
know when a final decision would be made.
"It depends on whether we have good candidates among those that apply," Brinkman said. "We will take whatever we can make sure we choose the best candidate.
A deadline has not been set for making the decision, he said.
"We can't make any firm decisions until after Nov. 19, but after that we will work on it."
BRINKMAN SAID the committee had already received 40 applications, and they were still coming in. The committee received 47 applications
when it recommended Jim Lesig, former athletic director, last spring.
Lessig, who had served as athletic director since May, resigned in October to become commissioner of the Mid-American Conference.
Six of the eight people on the selection committee were on the committee that chose Lessig following the Jan. 22 announcement of his predecessor, Bob Marcum.
Brinkman said the committee had been meeting weekly during November to consider applications as they came in, having them all until after the deadline.
Donations to give library new home
By BRET WALLACE Staff Reporter
Private donations will help the School of Engineering eliminate library overcrowding by financing an addition to the dean of the school said yesterday.
Dean David Kraft said the University had raised between 70 and 80 percent of the $1 million in private donations he built the addition to the front of Learned.
The school decided last December to solicit donations to build the library because the current site in the Satellite Union is too small, Kraft said.
THE LIBRARY has about 60 feet by
45 feet of space for bookhelves, and
30 feet by 25 feet of shelves.
The engineering library was moved to the Satellite Union during the renovation of Marvin Hall, where the engineering library had been combined
with the architecture and geology libraries.
Allen Wiechert, University director of the office of facilities planning, said the library would be a two-floor addition with most of the space left open for bookshelves and reading spaces.
The library will only serve an interim need until the new science and technology library is built, Wiechert said. Requests for money for the science and technology library are a top priority because the New Legislative session, he said.
THE SPACE in the addition will then be made available for for an auditorium or offices and laboratories, Kraft said.
Kraft said any money left from the $1 million would be used to make needed changes after the library was moved.
Wiechert said the last expansion of facilities for the School of Engineering at Penn State University.
to meet the needs at that time. Since then the school's enrollment has increased and facilities have not, he said.
THE KANSAS BOARD of Regents are expected to approve plans for the addition tomorrow, Regents and University officials said.
Warren Corman, director of facilities for the Board of Regents, said minutes of the Regent's meeting called for a review of the school's plans to Corman's evaluation and approval.
The Regents check the plans to see if they violate any board policies, he said. The state architect also will review the plans for structural soundness.
WIECHERT SAID he saw no problems getting approval from the Regents for the project.
"Since the University has gone out and raised the money, the Regents should look upon the project favorably." he said.

Cramming no way to learn Sessions aid in exam survival
Final examinations loom closer.
The thought sends students crawling into bed and into bars.
It sends some into reverence of giving up and escaping to Florida and others into daydreams of contracting a serious allion just before exams.
And one professor says it makes for an inordinate number of dead grand-mothers whose funerals, of course, are consistently during final exams.
But the final exam period can be survived even by students who have put their studying on hold for part of the semester, Sara Martin, assistant director of the Student Assistance Center, said yesterday.
For students who end up cramming a semester's worth of learning into the two days before a final, the most important message of the workshop is that semester planning is essential, Martin said.
MARTIN AND LOIS Gerstenauer,
also an assistant director, give
workshops on preparing for exams.
Two workshops already have been
presented this semester, but a third
will be given at 7 p.m. Nov. 30 in the
Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union,
Martin said.
Although students at the workshop are given tips on what and how to study, she said that the first step to final results was deciding when to study.
Thus, the first part of the workshop is on time management, she said.
Martin advocates making "to-do" lists every day, so that class material is learned during the semester and final period is left for review.
CRAMMING, she said, is a good way to memorize a few facts, but is not the way to approach a large amount of material.
"I think cramming is overrated by most students," Martin said.
Susan Kemper, assistant professor of psychology, said that when students crum, they usually read and write, and not just respond. That constitutes passive study, she said.
"Any kind of passive study isn't going to help at all. Active studying is what has to be emphasized," she said.
Active studying involves outlining the main themes in a text or set of notes and finding relationships between them. In a history class, the relation is temporal; in a meteorology class, they might be causal, she said.
In the workshop, Martin and Gerstenlauer said they talk about where to study, how to study with study when to quit studying for the night.
"It shouldn't be too late to begin if they're willing to do it," she said. "You just don't sit there and move your eyes across the page."
STUDYING ACTIVELY can be helpful even for students who have put off studying all semester, she said.
"You have to consider the point of
diminishings returns for staying up late." she said.
able state of mind and body most students experience during finals — tension
"Tension is a barrier between your knowledge and your conscience," Martin said.
So to boost confidence and relieve tension, she suggests that students not allow pannyicky friends to influence them, and that they arrive at the exam on time and take short breaks to relax during the test.
THOSE WHO FIND themselves unable to prepare well for all exams should carefully choose a few exams to compete in, and depend on the course earned so far.
"That's important if you've backed yourself into a corner where you can't have the ideal situation happened," she said. Many who come to the Nov. 30 workshop may not have studied Spanish or French, but they vage their grades. Martin said, but they will have the opportunity to learn what to do next semester.
THE TEST SKILLS workshop was offered for the first time last fall, she said, when she realized that test-taking tips she gave out at general stores could be turned into a whole workshop offered near the end of the semester.
"We'll say to them. We're sorry that you didn't come sooner,'" she said.
She said she expected between 50 and 100 students to come to the workshop, which is free.

more and more, recent college graduates think they should straighten into a work. We think that's not always the case. The 75% of our student body who have withdrawn without full-time work in their undergraduate years are the students who have worked fulltime for almost three years, who think their experience has made all the difference in how they approach their job, in training. We will be glad to discuss what you think
