Quest for chancellor begins
Regents set specific goals for new leader
By Roberta Johnson

For the next three months, advertisements in publications from the Chronicle of Higher Education to the Topeka Capitol-Journal will solicit applications for the 15th chancellor of the University of Kansas.
As many as 300 people are expected to apply for the position by the Oct. 15 cut-off date, said Frank Becker, chair of the search committee, at the committee's first meeting Thursday in Adams Alumni Center.
"The Regents seek individuals of integrity to lead the university into the twenty-first century," reads the publication advertisement for the position.
The Board of Regents has specific goals for the new chancellor. These include working with the University of Kansas Medical Center, supporting intercollegiate athletics and maintaining quality faculty, said Stephen Jordan, executive director of the Regents.
But some of the search committee members stressed other needs, including serving as a faculty member and being more accessible to students.
Even though the chancellor traditionally has held a faculty position, no mention of it will be made in the ads.
Richard Mann, University director of administration, said that mentioning a faculty position could deter those not from an academic field from applying.
Senate Executive committee would like to have the chancellor also serve as a faculty member.
However, Sharon Bass, associate professor of journalism, said that members of the
Wint Winter Sr. said that the potential faculty position should be made public and that the new chancellor should teach as well as lead.
"I wonder if we'll be shooting ourselves in the foot if we find a candidate that's outstanding but isn't a qualified member of the faculty." he said.
T. R. Srinivasan, professor of mathematics, said that would not be the case.
"Certainly someone qualified to be a chancellor would be qualified to be faculty," he said.
Sherman Reeves, student body president, said involvement with the student population was an essential requirement for the chancellor position.
A detailed list of qualifications will be discussed at a later date.
Applications for the chancellor's position will be stored both at Mann's office in Strong Hall and on the third floor of Murphy Hall at the Med Center. The committee will discuss the applicants' qualifications in closed sessions.
The search committee's schedule and agenda are as follows:
Sept. 16 at 1:30: develop position's description and the process for reviewing candidates.
Sept. 30 at 1:30; preliminary access to the candidates.
- Oct. 14, 15, 28, 29 at 9 a.m.: narrowing the list.
Nov. 19, 20: interviews of candidates.
Dec. 3, 4: interviews of candidates.
Dec. 3, 4: interviews of candidates.
Dec. 15: The committee will submit a list of at least five candidates to the Regents.
Search committee seeks student input
Although 17 people are charged with finding Gene Budig's successor to the chancellorship, students and faculty may take a small part in the process.
Anyone who wish to become involved should talk to members of the committee, said Frank Becker, chairman of the search committee, or call student body president Sherman Reeves at the Student Senate office at 864-3710.
"We have here, representatives of factions of the University," Becker said. "If the public wants to get involved, it's quicker to access them."
Faculty and staff representatives on the Lawrence campus are Sharon Bass, associate professor of journalism; Green; Roland Hurst, laboratories manager in civil engineering; Richard Mann, University director of administration; and T.P. Srinivasan, professor of mathematics.

OLATHE, Kan. — Sex abuse victim Caroline castleberry, who shot her father once in the head as he slept, was punished beyond any measure and won't spend time in jail, a judge said.
Kris Wilson, New Mexico State University dancer, leads Summer Academy cheerleaders in a routine during the Dance America camp. The camp began Monday and ends tomorrow with a competition beginning at 9 a.m. at Oliver Hall.
"I do not condone what Caroline Castlebird did," said Johnson County District Judge William Cleaver. "But I despise what was done to her."
Cleaver sentenced Caroline Castleberry, a former KU student, to three years of probation for the wounding of her father, Lake Quivira obstetrician-ynecologist Charles Castleberry. He was left partially blind and with permanent brain damage.

As a condition of her probation, Caroline Castleberry must receive indepth counseling, Cleaver said.

Caroline Castleberry testified Fri-
She said her father started molesting her when she was 14, and that that eventually had led to intercourse and other sex acts.
"I am very, very grateful to the judge," Caroline Castleberry said as she left the courtroom in the glare of television lights and cameras. "I'm just glad it's over with. I want to get on with my life."
Caroline Castleberry said her father ignored her protests, telling her he was a doctor and knew what he was doing.
She that said she felt imprisoned by her father's power even though she had attended KU. Caroline Castleberry said she was allowed to attend the University only by agreeing to call her father each night at 9:30 p.m., come home each weekend after classes ended on Friday and have sex with him at least twice on the weekends.
She said she did not tell her mother, who was not interested in knowing the details of the relationship. She said she was afraid to go to others because she feared they wouldn't believe her.
KU community reaches out to Kyrgyzstan
Caroline Castleberry described her father as a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. But some family acquaintances, coworkers and even her friends believed Charles Castleberry was a nice person.

Kyrgyzstan is not the bottom line of letters on an eye chart.
Kyrgyzstan (pronounced Kir-gi-stan) a small, newly-formed nation that gained independence from the former Soviet Union in 1991, is a nation that is receiving help from members of the KU community.
The University and Heart to Heart International — a non-profit organization in Olathe that helps send medical supplies to those in need — have collected 40 tons of medical supplies to send to the republic. An 18-member group of local volunteers will be spending the next five days in Kyrgyzstan. The group will distribute supplies and help the struggling nation get on it's democratic feet.
'Although it is a small spot on the map, Kyrgyzstan is no stranger to KU.
The University of Kansas Medical Center received a grant to work with the country two years ago, and Med Center staff members have been working with hospitals in Bishkeh, the capital of Kyrgyzstan. Sixty-two doctors and nurses from both countries have participated in exchanges of personnel, but this airlift is the largest exchange of goods so far, said Lori Ketterling, director of of Heart to Heart.
Where in the world
"We're sending about $7 million worth of medical supplies, including antibiotics, cardiac medicines, and over-the-counter products like Tylenol and rubber gloves," she said.
The U.S. State Department cargo plane, which left Monday, will serve as a giant first-
According to information published by Heart to Heart, Kyrgyz doctors are trained in modern medicine, but often do not have enough equipment and supplies. For example, disposable plastic syringes must be used again and again, even though the plastic can't be completely sterilized.
aid kit, providing much-needed supplies to doctors.
"While the people in Kyrgyzstan are well-educated and eager to work, they lack the funds they need," said George Woodyard, dean of international studies at both the MeD Center and the Lawrence campus. "If you don't have any money, you can't go out and buy simple things like aspirin and Band-Aids." Woodyard is a member of the group traveling to Kyrgyzstan.
Woodyard said that after the Med Center became involved with Kyrgyzstan, faculty from the Lawrence campus followed. Plans call for a media center to be set up in Kyrgyzstan next spring, he said.
Barbie Moore, senior project manager for Heart to Heart, said KU and Kyrgyzstan were matched together by the American International Health Alliance, a division of U.S. Agency for International Development. The alliance matches countries in need with organizations that are willing to help.
"The project has been good so far, thanks to the good work and efforts of everyone involved," Woodyard said. "I anticipate that the level of involvement will continue and even escalate."
Woodyard said KU will probably continue to help after the supplies have been delivered.
Trafficway troubles
Last week, a federal court dismissed a lawsuit brought on behalf of the Northern crawfish frog, a wetlands dweller, to halt construction of the South Lawrence Trafficway. Concern for the wetlands, which will be cut 11.89 acres by the trafficway, has led the county to order a supplemental environmental impact statement in the fall. Last year, the county built a 17-acre wetlands area to compensate for the lost wetlands. John Pasley, trafficway project manager, said that he expected the trafficway to open in 1998.
