Assistant to Shankel . . .
From page one
French from the University of Illinois at Urbana. She worked "off and on" for a publishing company, traveled and studied in West Germany five times, and was one of her other graduate student in German languages after she received her master's at KU.
Dan, her husband, joined the U.S. Coast Guard in 1969 and the Johnson's moved to Seattle, where Jeanette was a writer for construction industry trade magazines.

HER WORK, writing descriptions of backhoe leaders and logging equipment, ended when the Johnsons returned to KU in 1982. The Ph.D. program in German language was completed all coursework, and passed the comprehensive examinations, but will postpone work on her dissertation while she is working in the full-time administrative role.
Dan Johnson dropped his study of German and switched fields of study last year.
He received a certificate in respiratory therapy last week at the KU Medical Center. Jeanette Johnson says it's suicidal for a married couple to both be in the same field, particularly in humanities, where jobs are scarce.
"IT'S HARD to adjust to doing something else after all the years and money spent to get an advanced degree in humanities." "I don't know where I would have a lot to offer other sectors," she said.
Among Johnson's duties now are answering questions and informing Shankel of matters that require decisions. Just as Johnsen's office is a major task, she said.
Pulling two bulky folders of papers from a desk drawer, Johnson said. "These are the things I need to discuss with Dr. Shankel in the next few days."
"It is truly almost impossible to imagine the vast volume of mail until you come to work in there. I think we must get most of the mail on campus."

Hogan has chosen for himself the fendable challenge of analyzing a major university's budget. As part of his analysis, he conducted buds of KU and Kansas State University.
His day begins at 6 a.m. at the School of Engineering in Learned Hall. At 11 a.m. he moves to Strong Hall and begins work in the chancellor's office. He remains in Strong until 8 or 9 most nights, then works a few more hours at home.
"IM USED TO it," Hogan said. "When I was in industry, I used to work 80 hours a week. As long as it's interesting and challenging. I don't mind it."
The study, Hogan said, will give him insights into the workings of a university that will be helpful if he decides to become a college administrator.
Hogan has a choice of careers that would make many people envious. He has been an

thousands of problems and complaints tend to bog down administration attempts to function more efficiently, she said. The amount of time it takes to handle such a heavy load is what disturbs her most about the job, she explained.
The efficiency of the executive vice chancellor's office should improve, Johnson said, because of a new graduate assistant recently hired.
"Most students and faculty members feel that the wheels of the administration grind very slowly, and they do. There just isn't much we can do to speed things up."
"We can't get everything done in one day.
Sometimes it has to wait. But the buck has to stop somewhere and we try to keep in mind what goes on around camps, she said.
"And one thing it can be sure of is that something you're going to say is going to shock or offend someone. But overall, the good community, a very good place to be."
FROM PAST experience, Johnson knows of problems that he will come campus with. He also students
"A graduate student came in to see me recently and thanked me for all the help in getting his degree, and said he would remember the number I gave him." Hogan said.
"THAT FEELS good. Someone haven't gotten that feeling in anything I've done before. It's something you can't describe, something you can't put on paper."
But after nine months in the Chancellor's office, Hogan said, he will be better able to tell what college administration might need him. He is a member of administrative work appeal to him.
If Hogan, a black, chooses administrative work as a career, he will be one of the few blacks in the field. Only two major colleges in Michigan, have black chancellors, he said.
"It fits me." he said. "I like people."
To get a running start on his position as administrative intern, Hogan began work in the chancellor's office Aug. 12. In the three months before, he has drawn at least one conglusion.
"In a broad context, I can see the need for responsiveness to faculty and students," he said. "I think that probably all universities could improve along those lines."

SR-56
The super slide rule programmable powerhouse ...with 10 memories and 100 program steps.
$109^{95*}
There are 74 preprogrammed functions and operations. You can do arithmetic within all 10 memories. It has AOS—a unique algebraic operating system that lets you handle problems with up to 9 levels of parentheses. There's also polar to rectangular conversion—built in. Mean. Standard deviation. Degrees, radians, grads. And, it works with TI's new printer—the PC-100.
The SR-56 is a tremendously powerful slide rule calculator. Yet you can program it whenever you're ready.
Chances are, you'll be programming. That's what professionals in your field are doing - right now. And with an SR-56 you're ready. It has 100-merged prefix program steps, 6 logical decision functions. 4 levels of subroutines. You can decrement and skip on zero to iterate a loop as many times as you specify. There are 4 levels of subroutine to let you use your program steps to maximum advantage. And, you can even compare a test register with the display to make a conditional branch. So you can check an intermediate result for convergence, or a maximum.
The edge you need. Now. And in your career.
