Leadership is focus of Blueprints
By Shannon Newton Kansan staff writer
Saturday, Denise Junkerman learned leadership skills that she will take to the residents of Oliver Hall.
Junkerman, Quincy, Ill., sophomore and president of Oliver, attended the eighth annual Blueprints leadership conference presented by the Organizations and Activities Center. The daylong conference, which took place in the Kansas Union, was designed to help students develop their leadership skills.
Students attended different workshops presented by people such as Barbara Ballard, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource
Center; Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare; and Sherman Reeves, student body president.
Jimmy Albright, a professor of archaeology and Middle East politics at Missouri Western State College, was the keynote speaker at the conference. He gave a presentation on motivation, attitude and self-esteem
Junkerman said a session presented by Ballard called "People Politics" was the most beneficial for her.
The theme was "Building U for Tomorrow," and the conference presented sessions on such topics as leadership and motivation.
"She taught us how to facilitate groups and be a more effective leader," she said.
Jamie Cutburth, Portland, Ore. senior and the conference director, said he thought the conference, which had 151 participants, went smoothly.
The conference also included a community service project. About 20 participants cleaned the building that houses the Audio-Reader Network, a service that provides readings for the blind.
Ann Evensolo, director of the Organizations and Activities Center, said that she was pleased with the event.
She said the planning of the event was successful even though it was up against Greek Endeavors, a program that promoted unity in the greek community that was held this weekend.
"There is a need for both events," Eversole said. "But the planning was difficult because we had some of the same presenters, so we had to work around their scheduling also."
"Blueprints is beneficial to SUA because we send members and hope to develop future leaders," he said.
Paul Wolters, Kansas City, Kan., senior and Student Union Activities president, said that SUA sent eight members to the conference.
Junkerman said that the conference was also beneficial to the Oliver government and its residents
"We are going to have a meeting to discuss what we learned," she said.

The KU Life Span Institute unknowingly helped illustrate a very valuable lesson in life yesterday don't get in the way of a car that is out of control. Although no injuries were reported, two University vehicles were damaged when an Oldsmobile Ninety Eight, driven by Helen Bruns, Lawrence, lost control on Sunnyside Avenue, jumped the curb and ended up colliding with two cars in the faculty parking lot immediately to the east of the Facilities and Operations maintenance plant.
Search committee reviews candidates
By David Wilson
Kansan staff writer
The chancellor search committee moved past position descriptions and got down to the business of talking names during a 2 1/2 hour meeting behind closed doors Friday afternoon at the Adams University Center.
Committee member Richard Mann, University director of administration, called for an executive session five minutes into the meeting, forcing non-committee members to leave the room.
After the meeting, Chairman Frank Becker of El Dorado said committee members reviewed the pools of "A," "B" and "C" candidates, with "A" being the best.
Becker said committee members were mostly in agreement on which candidates should be in which pools.
"It went faster than I thought," he said.
Becker did not say how many candidates were in each pool.
Committee member Garett White, a student at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said he was pleased with the quality of the candidates but said the committee needed more people to apply.
"We need to increase the number of applicants," he said. "Otherwise, the quality is good."
Becker said the committee had about 80 nominees and applicants so far and denied that too few people had been nominated or had applied.
"We've got a big number," he said.
Becker acknowledged that in the early stages of the search, fewer people were nominated than had been expected. He blamed the initial shortage on the timing of the search committee's classified advertisements, which were placed in education journals early in the school year.
The search committee will hold an all-day meeting Oct. 14 and another on Oct. 28. The deadline for nominations is Oct. 15, and nominees will have one week after the deadline to submit their resumes.
During the October meetings, the committee will settle on the 12 to 20 candidates who will be personally interviewed by committee members.
Committee member Stephen Jordan, executive director of the Kansas Board of Regents, said the committee had a $25,000 budget to fly small teams of committee members out to interview candidates, "but it will cost more than that."
Jordan said the money would come from the state legislature.
Before the interviews, some candidates will be sent information packets about the University of Kansas prepared by University Relations.
The committee will submit the names of five finalists to the Regents Dec. 15.
Students, city leaders digest breakfast, issues
By Carlos Tejada Kansan staff writer
It began as a casual, Friday morning breakfast of fruit and pastries and small talk.
But when the food was cleared, representatives from Lawrence's universities and city government rolled up their sleeves and talked about the problems before the community at the annual KU/Haskell/City of Lawrence Student Senate Breakfast.
The discussion included a proposed Douglas County sales tax, the quality of student city housing and improving communication between city government and students.
Sherman Reeves, KU student body president, told Mayor Jo Andersen.
City Commissioner Bob Moody and members of the city's staff that he would like to work with city government on housing problems. He said students too often were unaware of the perils of renting housing.
That situation could lead to renting from careless or unscrupulous landlords, he said. One solution he offered would be to supply students with a list of landlords who had violated city health, safety or building codes.
"Students are in an awkward situation," Reeves said. "Many times this is their first rental agreement."
Frank Wolf, Haskell student senate vice president, agreed with Reesens. He said Lawrence's high housing costs also affected Haskell students' lives.
Wolf encouraged Andersen and Moody to get involved with Haskell students. He said a lack of open communication blurred students' understanding of the process of local politics.
"It's really disconcerting," he said. "Students come up to me and tell me how they're living."
entity I know nothing of," Wolf said. Marc Wilson, co-coordinator of the Student Political Awareness Task Force, told city leaders that the task force's current drive to get students to register had been misconstrued to be a campaign against a countywide, 1 cent sales tax proposal on the Nov. 8 ballot. The sales tax is meant to raise money for city and county projects
"To me, you are all one monolithic entitled unworthy of." Wolfsaid.
To encourage students to vote, the task force had distributed fliers with a quote from Jim Chappell, county commissioner, that came from a discussion of the sales tax. The quote showed an anti-student bias, Wilson said, but the task force neither endorsed nor condemned the sales tax.
and to reduce property taxes.
Walter Ahahiya, Haskell student senate president, said he would encourage Haskell students to get out and participate in the community.
"We're simply trying to get students to participate in the political process," Wilson said.
"Every semester, they stay on campus and never get out and see Lawrence," he said.
