Wichita State president resigns Regents OK Haworth Hall expansion
By DIRK MILLER Staff Reporter
TOPEKA-A $14 million building addition for the University of Kansas biology department, the retirement of a University president and proposed policy changes among the items filling the agenda at the Kansas Board of Regents meeting in Topeka Thursday and Friday.
ALLEN WIECHERT, KU director of facilities planning, said the addition would be completed in the spring of 1985.
In its last action of the day before adjournment, the Board accepted a letter announcing the retirement of University President Clark Aiberg.
Final construction plans for the Haworth Hall addition at KU were approved by the Regents last week. A KU official said Friday that the University would accept bids on the project in about six weeks.
The biology department has been waiting on the $14 million Haworth Hall addition for about 15 years, said Robert Cobb, KU executive vice chancellor.
Ahlberg, 64, plans to retire in July after 14 years as president of WSU. He
The Regents approved another $50,000 transfer from the Allen Field House steam tunnel project to finance the University of Kansas Medical Center.
A report from the Med Center to the Regents health education committee showed that revenues had increased this year, but that it was too early to tell.
said he hoped to continue teaching at Wichita State.
THE FUNDS will come from a steam tunnel project that is to replace about 1,000 feet of existing steam pipe from the old Houset to other buildings on campuses.
whether another slump like last year's was in the picture.
Ahlberg denied any possibilities that last year's NCAA investigation into the Wichita State Shocker basketball program had anything to do with his retirement. He said if that had been the case, he would have retired a year ago.
The KU Med Center's cash deposits increased about $300,000 from a year ago, according to the report. A new computer billing system that has been installed at KU Medical Center in September is expected to bring in even more money for the Med Center.
THE REGENTS said they would form a search committee to replace Alhberg at their October meeting. WSU faculty, staff, students and Wichita citizens will form the committee, said Gee Smith Jr., Regent from Larned.
During last week's meetings, the Regents considered a number of policy and organizational changes. The changes were considered because of a need for the Regents to place proper emphasis on planning, said Stanley Koplik, executive officer to the Regents.
Koplik proposed changes in Regents employees' titles to reflect the duties of positions.
CHANCELLOR Gene A. Budig said the University was optimistic that Med Center billing would improve with the new system.
In other action, the Board approved a $40,000 transfer of funds from a Lawrence campus utility project to repair its repairs to the roof of Murphy Hall.
Another policy change the Regents discussed was special fee requests they receive each month. A proposal to hear requests for fee increases at a specified time was discussed during the budget and finance committee meeting.
THE DISCUSSION arose during a presentation by Kansas State University President Diane Acker about special fees requested by K-State.

William Rosenman, K-State's representative on the Student Advisory Committee to the Regents, said the team was encouraged to consider the whole issue of special fees.
Committee members were upset at K-State's request for a $10 fee to pay for the processing of applications for Guaranteed Student Loans.
This could set a precedent at other Regents schools, said David Adkins, chairman of the committee and KU student body president.
Koplik and the Regents staff will present a report on the proposal to the Regents.
