Business interest grows
By BRET WALLACE Staff Reporter
Interest in the School of Business among minority students is increasing because of a program sponsored by the school and the Minority Business Student Council, David Ersely, the chair of the council, said yesterday.
Ersery said many more incoming freshman minority students were showing a serious interest in the business field.
"Freshmen used to just think about becoming a business major, but now more of them are serious about it," he said.
John Tollefson, dean of the School of Business, said that so far, most of the recruitment in the program had been at university and had a high percentage of minority students.
Members of the council began visiting high schools three semesters ago.
Last semester they visited schools in the Kansas City and St. Louis areas,
The main purpose of the visits was to tell juniors and seniors about the school, but they also advised freshmen and sophomores about the classes they should be taking to prepare for college, he said.
"We told them not to be scared to take English and math classes because they would have to take them at KU," he said.
The school then sponsored an Exploration Day, separate from one the University sponsors, for the students they had visited. A majority of the students responded.
The Exploration Day gave high school students the opportunity to visit the school and see what happens in classes, Ersery said.
The council sent out literature about the school to students who expressed an interest.
"The first chance we get to know they are prebusiness majors is when they enroll in these classes," he said.
It also is doing some things on campus to make freshmen and sophomores more aware of the school, Ersery said, such as putting filers at many locations on campus announcing their graduation and offering student in Business 240, Financial Accounting I, and Business 241, Managerial Accounting I.
The program to recruit minority students began in the spring of 1981 when there were not enough students in the college's scholarship schools earmarked for minorities.
Tolleison said this scholarship money came from the Kansas University Endowment Association and matching gifts from corporations.
Although some firms reduced their gifts after 1891, Tollleson said he thought this was because of the poor credit not because of doubt in the program.
"Most of the firms regarded the shortage of students as short term and still gave sufficient money to keep the program going," he said.
Club seeking French lovers
If you enjoy speaking French, even if all you can muster is to order a bottle of cheap wine, then the University of Kansas French Club is looking for you.
The club is seeking to increase its membership and now is planning its fall calendar, Kathy Loving, French Club secretary, said yesterday. The club elected officers at its first meeting Wednesday night.
Activities for the semester will include discussions following each French film shown at the Kansas Union, she said.
The first discussion, scheduled for Thursday night, will be at Watkins
Scholarship Hall, said Ted Johnson,
professor of French and Italian and
French Club adviser. The discussion
will be entirely in French, he said.
"Anyone who wants to come and speak French is invited," he said. A Christmas play is also planned for the beginning of December, Loving
The French Club usually supplies the players. Johnson said.
The club will probably attend as a group a concert by Jacques Yvart, a French singer, who at Woodruff Hall would salute, and would try to get discount tickets.
On the KU campus, the full-size pick-up truck will some day go the way of the brontosaurus. Tom Burger, facilities operations, said recently.
"I'm trying to get into smaller, Cushman-type vehicles," Anderson said, as he drafted a letter to Mr. Brennan that heroes urging them to walk more.

Within five years, Anderson said, most of the facilities operations fleet would be converted to either small trucks or American made mini-knickers.
Cushman vehicles are used by University parking officers, but Anderson said the models that facilities operations would use would be four/wheeled and have flatdump bodies.
THE GROUNDS CREW already has two of the Cushmans, Anderson said.

Anderson said the gas, maintenance and initial costs of pick-up trucks used by the department had "just about gone out of sight," leaving smaller vehicles as the only alternative.

Anderson said that the trucks the department presently uses average nine miles to the gallon, and cost around $6,000 to purchase.
Although the service life of a Cushman vehicle is approximately five years, Anderson said facilities operations personnel tried to keep as many different vehicles in the University's fleet running for as long as possible.
"WE CAN GET kits for the Cushmans for about $3,000 and assemble them ourselves." he said.

Anderson said the four/wheeled Cushmans get at least 50 miles to the gallon.

Stabbing, drug charges filed
Fred Wauge was charged in the complaint with two counts of aggravated battery. A warrant for Wauge's arrest has been issued, Harper said yesterday. Wauge walked out of Lawrence Memorial Hospital this week with injuries from a stabbing at 2513 Morningside Drive.
The stabbingbs were a result of an argument between Don Bay and Pat Wiles, both of 2513 Morningside Drive, and Wauge. Harper said the argument involved Wauge's girlfriend, Susan Matney, of Tonganoxie.
Douglas County District Attorney Jerry Harper filed a criminal complaint yesterday against a Tonganoxie boy named Joseph Binks of two Lawrence men on Aug. 25.
attorney said, Harper issued complaints with charges against Bay and Wiles of two counts of possession of marijuana and qualudes with intent to sell and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.
The complaint included a charge against Matney of possession of evidence.
Warrants for the arrests of Bay and Wiles also have been issued, the district
Harper said the additional drug-related charges were issued because of drugs found during a search of the house after the stabbing.
Pollice had not arrested the individuals involved pending further investigation and the release of Wauge from the hospital. Both Bay and Wauge underwent surgery after the stabbings. Wauge suffered a wound to the chest and a collapsed lung. Bay had surgery on his upper arm.

Low enrollment plagues social welfare program
By BRET WALLACE Staff Reporter
The School of Social Welfare undergraduate program at the University of Kansas Medical Center could be in trouble if enrollment does not increase next year, the chairman of the school's graduate program said yesterday.
Richard Spano, the chairman, said the program, which started last year, was not doing as well as they had hoped it would.
Eliminating the program is one of the possibilities that will have to be considered, but they might also be able to transfer students to Lawrence or mix them with students offered at the Med Center, Spano said. The school has been offering graduate
This year there are nine juniors and nine seniors enrolled in the program, which is designed to be entered at the junior level. Spano said. The school is offering three senior-level classes in the program for the first time this semester, he said.
"For the program to merit the expense of having instructors travel to Kansas City, we need to attract 20 to 30 students each year," Said. "If you have a large increase next year, we will have to begin looking at alternatives."
"They are the type of people who will be exceptional candidates for graduate school," he said.
Most of the students are junior college transfers, people who have been working in the field, or women who are finished raising their families and are entering the job market for the first time. Spano said.
Spano said he had been recruiting students for the program by traveling around to junior colleges in Kansas City to talk to students who might be interested in the program. So there was an important cost to the school for this he said.
"We are especially pleased though that we are getting the kind of student: we are looking for." he said.
University budget cuts are not the only problem that could affect this program.
Reductions in appropriations for social welfare departments are causing a tightening of the job market in social welfare, but it still offers the second highest number of jobs of any health field. Snoa said.
"There are positions available for social workers, particularly in rural areas." Spano said.
