Teleconference helps students master business
By Carolyn Mollett
Students who are interested in pursuing a master's degree in business will have the chance today to learn more about that opportunity.
Kansan staff writer
John Holleman, director of the MBA program at the University of Mississippi, will facilitate a nation-wide workshop by teleconference at 2 p.m. for all students interested.
"It's almost like a virtual meeting room," Holleman said.
Holleman said he had received phone calls from interested students and universities from across the country, but he said he was unsure how many people
would participate. The phone system used for the conference will handle up to 150 participants at one time.
He said the workshop would not use video equipment, because most students could not gain access. Students can participate in the workshop by calling in from their homes.
TELECONFERENCE
To participate in the nationwide workshop by teleconference, dial 1-904-357-8702 from any telephone.
For more information on the MBA program at the University of Kansas, call 864-7596 or visit the school of business Web site at www.bschool.ukans.edu.
There is no charge for participation other than the normal long-distance fee.
College of the Liberal Arts and Sciences graduates are excellent candidates for MBA programs, because they acquire critical thinking skills and a wide breadth of knowledge through their undergraduate educations. Holleman said.
He said future employers would recognize the diverse educational background of liberal arts students.
Dave Collins, assistant director of the master's degree program at the School of Business, said he agreed with Holleman. Collins also said businesses were willing to pay for educational diversity. He said an MBA with any undergraduate major gave students the flexibility to work in areas related to their undergraduate degrees but also be involved with management.
The University has launched an initiative to visit campus groups such as Greek and academic organizations to encourage students to apply to the MBA program, Collins said. He said he would like to speak with any organizations interested in the presentation.
To enter the University MBA program, students must take the Graduate Management Admissions Test and apply to the two-year, 60-hour program.

Reported rape cases increase according to Kansas report
By Chad Bottes
Kansan staff writer
As part of her Domestic Violence Awareness month efforts, Kansas Attorney General Carla Stovall has released a report on domestic violence and rape in the state.
The report released shows mixed results in the deterrence of certain violent crimes, with the number of reported rapes increasing and the number of domestic violence reports decreasing during the three year period of 1995 to 1997.
Tiffany Ball, public information officer for Stovall, said 1,088 cases of rape were reported across Kansas in 1995. In 1997, that number increased to 1,192.
Sgt. Troy Maillon of the KU Public Safety Office said seven of those cases were on campus in 1997, compared to four in 1995.
Ball attributed the increase in rape cases to the fact that more victims were taking the initiative to report the crime.
"We are better educating victims about what to do after a despicable tragedy has happened to them," Ball said.
In a written statement, the attorney gen
Domestic violence cases have dropped from 20,183 in 1995 to 19,159 in 1997, Ball said. In a written statement, the attorney general said the decline in domestic violence reports was because of better response and increased sensitivity of law enforcement officials to reports.
"I attribute much of these declines to the response by law enforcement to the crime I call undomesticated violence." Stovall said.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said the numbers of reported cases could be deceiving.
"It does not necessarily mean that domestic violence is less of a problem or rape is more of a problem." Rose-Mockry said.
She said her office was working toward a significant reduction in the number domestic violence and rape cases by educating people in different ways. Examining the images of women in the media, conducting workshops to increase sexual assault awareness, and teaching people to speak out against rape stereotypes are several methods she uses.
Stovall said that in 25 percent of reported rape cases in Kansas, the rape offender was under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Rose-Mockry cited a Columbia University study that said 75 percent of rape cases involve either the victim or the offender using drugs or alcohol.
