'Office of Search' suggested to fill 9 vacant posts
Kansan Staff Reporter
By GLENN MEYER
The University of Kansas has so many administrative positions to fill now that one administrator has suggested, only half-jokingly, that what is needed is an "office of search."
Searches are in progress to fill nine major administrative positions. Three searches completed in the last six weeks resulted in the appointment of James Ranx de an librarian, William Lucas as assistant to the chancellor and Richard Rundquist as director of the University Counseling Center
The appointment of Del Brinkman, acting dean of the School of Journalism, as dean of the school, is expected to be announced today. Delbert Shankle, an associate professor in journalism campus, said Wednesday that the search committee for vice chancellor for academic affairs would try to have a final candidate for the position by May 1. The present vice chancellor for academic affairs, who has resigned effective June 30 to return to teaching.
A SEARCH COMMITTEE for dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences hasn't been formed yet, according to Shankel. George Waggoner, dean of the College, has resigned effective June 30 and has been appointed an associate vice chancellor for academic affairs.
George Burket Jr., associate professor of family practice and chairman of the search committee for executive vice chancellor of the KU Medical Center, said his committee was still accepting applications and hoped to recommend three candidates to Chancelor Archie R. Dykes by mid-July.
William O. Rieke, present executive vice chancellor, will leave the Med Center August 1 to become president of Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma, Wash.
The search committee for director of University Relations is still taking applications, according to James Gunn, professor of journalism and English, and chairman of the committee. David Dairy, acting director of University Relations, has resigned follow-up to full-time teaching in the School of Journalism.
KENNETH WEDEL, associate professor of social welfare and chairman of the search committee for dean of the School of Social Welfare, said his committee was bringing candidates on campus. He recommended to the administration by the end of the month. David Hardcastle is acting dean.
The search committee for dean of the School of Fine Arts will meet Saturday to decide whether to submit recommendations to Siricks, according to Richard Bramham, associate professor of design
and chairman of the committee. Branham said he thought the committee would recommend three persons for the position and the final candidate would be selected by May 1.
The selection of a replacement for Edward Bassett, an associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, will probably be left up to Sirucks and his successor, Sariksnid. Bassett will leave at the end of the summer session to become director of the Journalism at the University of Southern California.
WILLIAM COBEN, acting dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said the search for a director of the Intensive English Center (IEC) had been halted until a decision was made whether the IEC would become a part of the department in the college. The director, who is the present director, has resigned effective June 30.
Francis Levier, acting director of Supportive Educational Services (SES) of the Office of Minority Affairs, said a search committee hadn't been formed to seek a replacement for Gary Flanigan, who resigned as SES director in February.
groups that will have to deal with the person who fills a given position.
THE SEARCH COMMITTEE for dean of the School of Journalism, for example, was composed of two journalism students, five faculty members, one classified employee and one journalism professional from outside the University, according to departmental staff. The journalism and chairman of the search committee.
In addition, Saricks said, each dean search committee has a non-voting representative from the Office of Research and Graduate Studies, and one from the Office of Academic Affairs.
The search committee narrows the field of applicants and invites the top contenders to visit the website.
Candidates' visits to KU are usually hectic, Robert Hoffman, curator of the Museum of Natural History, said. Candidates for dean of libraries had to see KU's library facilities and collections, he said. Hoffman was search committee chairman for a dean of libraries.
"THEY NEED TO meet with the administrators with whom they will be working," he said. "They need to work for them."
"They need to get some notion of the campus as a whole and the community. In the space of two to
three days (for each candidate) we run them pretty hard."
Saricks outlined the search process for a new dean:
If the dean's position is vacated too abruptly to be filled by a search committee, the vice chancellor for academic affairs, in consultation with the executive committee of the school or organization, appoints an adjunct.
The executive committee then gives Saricis a list of candidates, from which he selects members for the board.
A chairman is elected by the committee. The chairman meets with a representative from the Office of Affirmative Action, who advises him how to conduct certain sorts of the search.
THE SEARCH COMMITTEE makes up a job description and a list of qualifications for the new dean. The Office of Affirmative Action approves or disapproves the new dean's qualifications to insure that they do not discriminate against women and minorities. The office also advises the search committee how to conduct the search.
The committee solicits nominations for the position and invites nominees to send their cv.

J-school dean to be named
By KATHY STECHERT
Kansan Staff Reporter
The appointment of Del Brinkman, acting dean of the School of Journalism, as the new dean of the school is expected to be an associate Board of Regents meeting this afternoon.
The Kansan learned Thursday that the journalism search committee had nominated Brinkman and that his been approved by University officials.
Brinkman has been acting dean of the

associate vice chancellor for academic affairs,
The search committee for the dean was beaded by Lee F. Young, acting associate dean of the school. The committee interviewed five candidates for the position and finished their consideration of candidates last week.
Brinkman said Thursday night that the tremendous increase in enrollment in the school would be good news.
"One of the main things facing us is to deal with the problems accompanying the growth in the next few years," Brinkman said.
He said he expected the school's
Success pleases AAUP; future activities planned
By BERNEIL JUHNKE Kansan Staff Reporter
AUAP reviewed its 1974-1975 activities and future action at its annual meeting. Thursday,
Efforts at promoting legislation in Kansas have proven successful for the Lawrence Chapter of the American Association of Members (AAM), members were told Thursday night.
Frances Ingemann, AAUP president, said that she thought a bill concerning a group health plan for faculty members that had been passed by the Senate and was now in the house was partially the result of the AAUP's efforts to contact legislators.
Ingemann said the availability of administration internships for women and minorities and an increased concern for affirmative action in salary procedures were indications of administration responsiveness even though the Affirmative Action salary guidelines now in effect weren't what the AAPU wanted.
The bill would allow surviving spouses of faculty members to continue in the group health plan and would allow coverage for their spouse if the member was on a nine month appointment.
The AAUP has recommended that more information on candidates' qualifications be provided for University Council elections, as well as their name and department are provided, now.
Another area the AAPU has acted on is that of collective bargaining, Ingmann said. She said a work unit proposal was submitted by the AAPU to submitning work unit proposals to the
enrollment to level off and perhaps decline in a few years.
The School of Journalism was one of the schools at the University to have a record enrollment this spring. The school has 856 students enrolled and 966 students enrolled in the school.
Despite the heavy demand on its faculty, Brinkman said, the school will continue to train new teachers.
Brinkman said the job was in some ways awesome" because he was succeeding Braunker.
"Ed Bassett has done so much to build what is nationally recognized as a good school," he said.
Brikman, a native Kansan, came to the University of Kansas in 1975 as an assistant professor of journalism from Kansas University. He is now an associate professor.
During his years at the University, he has served as associate dean of the School of Journalism (1973-1974), Director of the Midwestern Journalism Camp (1970-1974), Chairman of the Journalism Faculty Committee (1972-1973) and the newseditorial supervisor of the University Daily Kansan (1970-1972).
Brinkman has a Ph.D. in mass communications and political science and an M.A. in journalism and political science, both degrees from Indiana University. He received his B.S. in English in 1958 from Emporia State College.
He is also the faculty adviser to the KU
student chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi.
Brinkman, who has been considered for administrative positions at other universities, said he felt privileged to be associated with KU.
"I like the Midwest. I like Kansas, I've had the opportunity to live elsewhere," he said. "I chose to live here as long as the university is here. KU is an excellent school."

Kansas Union fee hike requested

A request by the Kansas Union Memorial Corporation to increase the student fee allocation from $18 a semester to $19.50 a semester has been referred to the Student Senate, Warner Ferguson, associate director of the Kansas Union, said Thursday.
Ferguson said the request was reviewed by the Executive committee of the Memorial Corporation's Board of directors and was placed on the agenda of the Board
of Regents meeting today. The Student Senate must also approve the increase.
The increase request was made because of the rising cost of operating supplies,
"The Union needs an additional income of $70,000 to be able to pay employees wages and salaries comparable to those received by other University personnel," Ferguson
The legislature recently passed an act that gave salaries increase to all University students.
enactment that will become effective Jan. 1, 1976, will increase the minimum wage by 10 cents per hour.
The new minimum wage law is the main reason for requesting the additional $10,000.
Ferguson said the Union needed additional personnel to replace persons who had retired in the last few years or who would retire soon. Persons hired to fill these positions would have to be paid at the higher rate.
Chinese art exhibit to open Sundav in KC
"The exhibit has many levels of significance, and the artisue is one of them. But certain objects, the skull and the stone implements, for instance, are documents of the history of mankind as seen through the Chinese experience."

The exhibition of 385 artworks excavated since 1949 from Chinese tombs will remain in Kansas City until June 7; when it will be moved to San Francisco, the city will. San Francisco for a two month display.
The small bronze statue is called "The Flying Horse of Kansu," and it does, indeed, seem to fly. It is in full stride, its long legs are bent, its large head erected back, its tail elegantly.
THE EXHIBITION CONTAINS artifacts excavated from prehistoric sites as well as from tombs or more ancient sites that implements have been dated as being from a prehistoric site.
The exhibition in Kansas' City had originally been the last planned before the display was returned to China. After opening in Paris in May 1973, the display moved to the United States and to Toronto, and was at the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. from Dec. 13 to March 30.
Chu-using Li, chairman of the KU department of art history, said Thursday.

Each semester, $18 of each student's fees goes to the Union. The $18 is broken down into $5.25 for operational purposes; $3 for repairs, replacement and insurance; $2.50 for the Union annex, which includes the north addition; and $3 for the Union additions. We work with the University and the University of Kansas Alumni Association offices.
The allocations for the Union annex and the Union addition are capital debt interest payments. The proposed increase will be allocated to operational purposes.
Ferguson said that the Executive Committee had considered the needs of the Union and its sources of revenue. When it was determined that more money was needed, he said, three options were available to the committee, paying internal costs by reducing labor or increasing the student fee allocation.
"We can't raise food prices too much or we won't be competitive," he said.
Ferguson said the Union would need to replace any employees who retired.
Scott Siebels, chairman of the Student Services Committee of the Student Senate, said that his committee hadn't discussed the student allocation increase.
"We've been busy with the Student Senate budget hearings, but I'm sure they wouldn't make the request without justification," Siebel said. "Personally, I think it will pass, but I don't know what the committee will do."
