Directories will arrive Tuesday
By JANET FERREE
staff Writer
The twice delayed University of Kassan student directories are expected to arrive
"I have the president of the publishing company's word that they will be here Tuesday," John Everside, developer of the institution, said. "He's very drivingly driven here from Dallas."
EVERSOLE SAID that a directory was distributed to each of the 14,000 campus telephones (any 864 number), and that telephone cases were sold in the Union bookstores.
The directories, originally expected Oct. 15, were delayed until Nov. 1 because the wrong computer tape was sent to Napo, a publishing company in Dallas. Difficulties in programming the information for the directories caused the second delay.
Emma Dean Barland, chief operator for the University telephone services, said that she didn't think the directories would number of calls made to campus operators.
"There is too much wrong information in the directory," she said. "Either too many files are missing or too many are not."
It's not easy to throw away broken equipment in the University of Kansas, at a cost of $400 million.
State heads the disposal of old gear
To prevent it from throwing away desks, file cabinets, chairs and other office equipment that could be used by others, the purchasing department can't dispose of equipment found in furniture without permission from Kikuyu state director of purchasing in Topeka.
PUCKETT SAID if a department had a broken piece of equipment or unwanted furniture, it had to fill out a form describing what the equipment or furniture was, how old it was, what repairs were needed and when the equipment or furniture was still usable.
Gene Puckett, director of purchasing at KU, said recently that he offered suggestions to the state purchasing department about whether an item could be used again, but the final decision was up to the state.
The KU department of purchasing tries to make known across campus what surplus equipment is available and what is needed. Puckett said his department also published a list of available equipment several times a year.
If the equipment can be used again, the purchasing department tries to transfer the equipment to another location where it is needed. Puckett said.
IF THE EQUIPMENT is beyond repair, the KU department of purchasing has to clear it with the state purchasing office in order to ensure the equipment can be disposed of.
If a department can't find someone who wants its supply equipment, then it is up to that department to find a place for the equipment. Puckett said.
KU used to auction off the surplus equipment about 15 years ago, Puckett said, but there haven't been any auctions of this sort in the 11 years he's been at KU.
Rodger Oroke, director of facilities
and storage auditions had al-
ways been successful.
"Once you start handling used equipment, you start sinking money into it," he said.
"If then you have a sale, you have to load it, haul it, unload it and set it in place. A chair will bring you maybe 50 cents. There's another chair a chair that much and make money."
"YOU LOAD IT on a truck, haul it somewhere, unload it, carry it into a warehouse and shift items in the warehouse around to make room for it.
"A great number of individual departments have service contracts for repairs, like Buildings and Grounds" Xerox which is on state contract as far as service."
Barlard said that the campus operators had 10 to 12 corrections for each page of faffing.
or too much information was incorrect in the first place."
THERE IS a checking process to correct information that goes into the directories before printing. Eversole said, but the students' phone numbers aren't confirmed
"The information for the directory is pulled out of the computer right after enrollment so that we can try to get the stories out early in the semester," she said.
Ewensole said that the campus operators saw the material for the directories before it was sent to the publisher so that they could find them. He also changed that had been phoned in to them.
IF A STUDENT's phone number or address is printed incorrectly in the directory, Eversale said, the student should contact the Office of Admissions and Records to see if she has the information recorded correctly, and then contact the campus operators.
"Our office has talked about putting out a supplement to correct mistakes in the data."
Bill Collinson, manager for Southwestern Bell, said that he thought the campus directories would help reduce the number of calls made to directory assistance because students made the largest number of information calls.
Collinson said that the Lawrence phone book would arrive Nov. 18 and would be distributed on Wednesday.
