Tuesday, October 14, 1997 The University Daily Kansan Section A · Page 3 Regents board members tour campus, listen to concerns By Matthew Friedrichs mattf@ukans.edu Kansan staff writer Warren Corman, KU architect, didn't walk backward, sing the alma mater or spout University of Kansas trivia on his tour, but he did guide representatives of the Board of Regents across campus yesterday. The University of Kansas was the fifth of six Regents campuses visited by Robert Talkington, chairman of the Board of Regents, and Steve Jordan, Regents executive director. The visits have become a tradition for the chairman of the Board of Regents. Talkington said. Talkington and Jordan met with administrators, faculty and students before Corman led the representatives through Budig and Malott halls. "By and large, I like to do a lot of listening and ask some questions," Talkington said. Talkington said that by visiting, he expected to better understand the concerns of students and faculty and the problems faced by the University, and to see the good things happening on campus. Talkington met with Chancellor Robert Hemenway, Provost David Shulenburger and other University administrators in the morning. While there, he stressed the importance of retaining freshmen and sophomores. Talkington also met with students from the University Honors and the Oread Scholars programs. Associate Provost Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett said the University's goal was to increase freshmen and sophomore retention rates to 80 percent by the year 2000. Kelly Dreyer, Emporia freshman, said he was impressed by Talkington's interest in the University. "He wanted to see how we liked KU and how everything was gone." Dreyer said. thing was going, Dreyer said. Corman led the tour after lunch. Talkington and Jordan walked through Budig Hall, observed a class looked into the technology control room and viewed the unfinished space for a library in the lower levels. Talkington, who received both his bachelor's degree in Education in 1951 and his doctorate in law in 1954 from the University, said he was familiar with Hoch Auditorium before it was struck by lightning and burned in June 1991. It has now been rebuilt and renamed Budig Hall. "I kind of know what old Hoch was like," Talkington said. "I never took a class in Hoch, but I took exams." After touring Budig Hall, the group visited labs in Malott Hall. Corman and Assistant Provost Robert Givens showed Talkington and Jordan the difference between labs that had been renovated with money from Kansas' Crumbling Classrooms program and labs that still needed renovation. The tour conclude with a visit to the Kansas Collection in the Spencer Research Library.
