Process seeks minimal costs for University
- Continued from p. 1
The program that KU submitted to the Regents in January includes a goal attainment survey, basic skills assessment, general education assessment and assessment of the majors.
The 4-year plan involves internal and external measures and will cost $45,000 a year to implement, as well as millions of dollars spent by the state of Virginia.
David Shulenburger, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs and Hiner's successor as the chairman of the assessment committee, said KU had sought to minimize costs and take advantage of assessment-type activities already performed in the University.
"It is my strong belief that the most useful thing that can come out of assessment is not some number." said Susan Twombly, assistant professor of educational policy and administration.
"It will only be useful if it forces faculty members to link their students' outcomes with curriculum. It must provoke discussion."

Newspaper is due out today
Administration members and students are scheduled to meet Thursday for a final compromise on the budget.
plan to allow the paper to publish this issue.
Dario Robertson, KU associate professor of law and coe counsel for the students, said that the meeting would decide what role the Haskell administration would have in the Leader's publication.

"I'll be really upset if they insist on checking the paper for tihl and obscurity before it is published." he said.
Stevens said that student staff members of the newspaper planned to publish at least two more editions of the paper daily.
The paper is scheduled for distribution today and addresses recent issues at Haskell, including student work requirements and the paper's recent First Amenidion comments about the interruption of the paper's publication.
"Did you know that the Indian Leader has been published continuously, that is, until October 19th, on Page 3 read:
"We'll really have to push it," she said. "Maybe some of the pressure will be off now, but I doubt it."
For Girey, though, the pressure of printing 8,000 copies of the eight-page tabloid is still on. He didn't know how long the printing would take, but his deadline is 3 p.m. today.
Girey said that he was involved with printing the note because he used to teach as part of Haskell's printing program.
Researchers looking for links to viruses

disease were much like those of the head; headaches, extreme mental and physical fatigue, depression, major problems of dyslexia and memory loss.
Komaroff said the illness usually struck people in their 30s and that 60 to 80 percent of the victims were women. However, CFS is increasing among children and the elderly, he said.
One researcher seeking the link between CFS and AIDS is Dharam V. Ablashi, microbiologist with the Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular
Biology at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md. Ablashi, who also spoke at the conference, is a researcher in the lab of Robert C. Garcia and William V. Virus, which is widely responsible for the virus responsible for AIDS.
Ablasih said that a newly discovered Herpes virus, HHV-6, was evident in a large percentage of AIDS patients. He said the virus also was evident in a majority of test subjects suffering from CFS.
He said none of the experimental AIDS drugs, including AZT, had been
effective against the virus
One organization planning to collect data on CFS is the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, which released its report of the disease in March 1988. It chose the four U.S. cities for this schedule to begin later this year.
Rural Kansas benefits from new nursing law
---
Margaret A. Tipple, medical epidemiologist for the CDC, said the four cities — Atlanta, Grand Rapids, Mich., Ken. Nev., and Wichita counties—that they were "reasonably representative" of the United States.
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Gov. Mike Hayden signed into law yesterday a bill designed to attract more nurses to medically under-served rural areas.
The program is intended to encourage more Kansans to become nurses and to work in rural areas.
In its first year, the program will make scholarships of up to $3,500 available to 250 students. Half of the scholarship will be financed by the state and the rest by a "sponsoring hospital or nursing home."
The governor signed the bill, which will create the Nursing Scholarship Program, during a ceremony at the University of Kansas Medical School.
"A critical shortage of nurses in Kansas, along with other factors, is threatening our health care delivery system," Hayden said. "With the establishment of this program, we can better alleviate that shortage."
In return, the students must serve as staff nurses at the sponsoring facilities for a time determined by health team between them and health care facilities.
The governor also signed into law a bill that gives a little breathing room to property taxpayers and appraisers.
The bill will extend the amount of time taxpayers have to request an informal hearing for their reappraisal values from 18 days to 21 days after the date their valuation was mailed.
Hayden also signed a law that will increase maximum civil penalties for pipeline safety violations from $1,000 to $10,000 a day, and from $200,000 to $500,000 for any related series of violations.
The governor also signed a bill that will create the Kansas Sentencing Commission, which will re-examine the state's criminal penalties.
The bill also will extend from April 1 to May 1 the deadline for informal hearings and from April 15 to May 15 the deadline for county appraisal's final decision from any informal hearing.
The governor also signed a bill affecting about 155,000 drivers in Kansas. The bill enactes the Kansas Uniform Commercial Drivers' License Act, which brings the state in line with a federal act passed in 1986.
