KANSAS CITY, Kan.-The KU Medical Center, already faced with a morale problem, "will attempt again to justify its illness," said Dr. Teresa Levine, year ago. Med. Center officials said Monday.
The hospital will present justification that will clarify the magnitude of the problem to the Board of Regents Friday, according to a statement from the vice chancellor for the Med. Center.
The current problems at the hospital arose April 3, when Rieke clamped a freeze on all hiring at the Med Center. His action came after the Kansas House refused to authorize the hospital to spend an extra hour there, from fees it had already collected.
The house's refusal came despite solid justification for the need of the extra authorization. Hrieke said. Med Center of Obstetrics and Gynecology better prepared documentation, he said.
"We'd like to put it at a more personal,
"We've been short there for a long time and the freeze has only made it worse," he
Since April 3, 25 resignations have occurred at the hospital, Rieke said. About six of them were nursing positions. The major loss was seen in felt in the intensive care unit, be said.
He explained that the loss of personnel such as orderlies and general laborers put a severe strain on his staff.
Charles M. Brennan, assistant vice chancellor for the Med Center, said of the intensive care patients, "They require almost one-to-one nurse to patient care and we're experiencing some difficulty in staffing that area."
The added work required of the hospital personnel because of the hiring freeze is the administration of a
humane level to illustrate what problems our personnel are really having," be said.
Taylor said that acceptance of the proposal would also allow the University to seek permission from the legislature to request to the state legislature. This would require that the legislature give additional funding for the project.
Taylor said that there were two main arguments against including the school in the University. It would create a financial burden on students to be illegal to teach religion in a public school.
Taylor said the school received 75 per cent of its money from 10 supporting religious groups of different faiths. Eleven per cent comes from the Endowment Association, and the remainder comes from individual donations, he said.
Assembly to discuss religion school status
Acceptance of the Kansas School of Religion as a department of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will be discussed at today's meeting of the College Assembly.
Taylor said the proposal probably wasn't
alleged because 80 per cent of all state
teams were part of it.
"The problem is the anomalous relationship, neither fish nor fowl." Taylor said. "I don't care which it is, I just wish someone would tell us."
A report by the assembly's steering committee on the School of Religion recommended inclusion of the school as one of its high academic and faculty standards.
Inclusion of the school in the University of Kansas could give the University assets in excess of $000,000. Lymn F. Taylor, dean of the School of Religion, said dayon.
Taylor said the school didn't initiate the proposal, but would welcome it as a clarification of the school's standing. The school doesn't receive money from the University, but must adhere to College Assembly directions, he said.
"If it's illegal, somebody should have found out a long time ago," he said.
"The freeze does affect morale, and we're very concerned about it," said Mary A. Eisenhower, director of the department of nursing.
Robert J. Squier, chairman of the Educational Policies and Procedures Committee of the Assembly, said he didn't worry about the proposal at today's meeting.
"We're not poor," he said. "We're not a begar in the snow with hat in hand."
"The religious bodies are subsidizing the state." Taylor said.
"I don't know whether there's any opposition to it," he said.
However, Eisenbise said she was optimistic that the effects of the freeze would be minimized if it was lifted in May, as planned.
The assembly will consider a proposal to change requirements for French majors. The change would allow French majors to pursue a cultural studies for nine hours of literature.
Also at today's meeting, the department of astronomy will present a program for a bachelor of sciences degree in astronomy.
Requirements for physics majors will also be considered. A new proposal puts a greater emphasis on calculus, laboratory work and courses in modern physics.
Rieke said, "There have been some really serious morale problems among the nurses. We can't really see the light at the end of the tunnel. Some think it's going to get worse. That has had an adverse effect on our personnel."
"We really feel there will be some easing up by that time," she said. "We just have a lot of dedicated people here who help us through the difficult times."
Breman said some graduating nurses at the Med Center had expressed concern about the patient's health.
"Some of the graduating nurses are worried that we may not be able to hire them," he said. "So we may lose some good training and run hospitals if they go searching for jobs."

Groups argue allocations
By JAIN PENNER Korean Staff Reporter
Student service organizations at the University of Kansas will be forced to close their doors or sharply减缓 services offered if Student Senate fails to allocate money to them, several spokesmen for the Student Services Council said Monday.
The Student Services Council was formed because the member organizations thought they could get more money by uniting than they could as separate, competing organizations, according to Elenor Burger, a member and KU-Y representative.
Organizations that belong to the council are Campus Veterans, Commission on Women, College of Women, Women, Douglas County Legal Aid Society, Friends of Headquarters, KUY, MECHA, Office of Ombudsman, SCORMEBE, Clearing House and Women's Coalition.
One service organization, the Consumer Insurance (CPA), chose not to ban the group but allowed it.
The budget for student service organizations was cut drastically, Burchell said, and most of the organizations were inundated with the amount needed to stay in operation.
A bill on the agenda for the Student Senate meeting this week provides that $5,986 of the budget will be used.
Burchell said that in 1974, service organizations, except the CPA, requested $1,833.10 and were given $22,014, 42 per cent of the requested amount.
This year, however, only $8,104. 19 per
request was allocated to those
requested, the size was 346 cells.
"Most of the student services have affects in the student union," Spencer said. "Rent is due in January, which means it comes out of the soring budget."
Spencer said budget allocations were based on expenditures by various organizations for two fall semesters and one spring semester. She said this was unfair because most student service organizations much larger amounts of money in the spring.
Spencer said her organization had been formed in 1969 as a channeling agency only. Since then, she said, new services and programs had been added. However, she said that cats would eliminate these new services, returning the organization to its 1969 status.
She said that rent made up 40 per cent of the volunteer Clearing House yearly budget.
"If that's all you get, a lot of the services offered this year won't be offered next year."
service groups. The bill specifies minimum
amount each group needs to continue
operating.
Shari Spencer, council member and representative of Volunteer Clearing Services worked together to trim their budgets to the minimum amount needed to survive. She said that this amount was the minimum service organizations could receive and still remain.
Duane Fox, council member and representative of the Douglas County Legal Aid Society, he said he thought the Student Services Committee of Student Senate had
Burchell, Fox and Spencer all said it was important for students to become acquainted with student service services and make use of the services they offer.
"Student service organizations offer valuable services from viable groups," Spencer said. "Such services have a great impact on students, and that the University can be to its students."
Campus Veterans, which was allocated $13 of a request for $3,760, said that $86 was paid in cash.
In an information packet that will be sent to all student senators today, the members of the Student Services Council explain their services and services their organizations offer.
done an admirable job in allocating what money it had, despite little previous exposure to the service groups and minimal funds to work with.
The Commission on Indian Affairs, which didn't prepare an information sheet, received $333 of a requested $2,100, $224 short of the amount the bill said was.
According to the information sheet, Campus Veterans provides services such as referrals, tutorial assistance, job listings, information on pending legislation affecting sports teams, needs and sponsorship of intramural sports teams for the 2.000 veterans at KU.
Fox said it was almost impossible for students who had no prior contact with the service organizations to analyze, in a few weeks, their cases and their importance to the campus.

Local couples rear Vietnamese orphans
By MARNE RINDOM Kansan Staff Reporter
The adoption of Vietnamese children has attracted attention recently with the arrival of more than 1,000 orphans to the United States. However, the practice of adopting children from Vietnam has been going on for several years.
At least three couples in Lawrence have adopted orphans from Vietnam. The children range in age from 2 to 11 and have been in the United States from four months

Barkhurst and Boullon said they had been telling people to contact the Friends for All Children agency. The agency has a long history of providing such assistance applying will probably have to wait until the
