Budig seeks support on financing for Med Center
by Alan Morgan Kansan staff writer
TOPEKA — Chancellor Gene A. Budig urged a Senate subcommittee yesterday to support Margin of Excellence financing for the NIH's Precision Cancer Center and the College of Health Sciences.
Budig face the Senate Ways and Means subcommittee that full financing was needed for additional faculty, improved salaries and wages. The committee, as recommended by Gov Mike Hayden.
He said the Med Center's budget did not provide adequate financing for the Med Center or the $2 University of Kansas School of Medicine. He also noted other medical institutions or peer schools.
The Margin of Excellence is the Board of Regents three-year plan to bring the total financing of its seven institutions to 95 percent. The board will hire faculty salaries to 100 percent of their peers.
Budig was joined by three other faculty representatives in presenting his concerns
about state financing for the Med Center and the Wichita branch. Margin financing for the Lawrence campus was not addressed by the subcommittee.
"For the University hospital, the greatest needs are for adequate staff salaries and for updated equipment." Budig said. "Academic medicine and the entire health care industry are undergone a major shift." Recruitment of faculty have often been more difficult or more competitive.
"The hospital is now 10 years old, and
D. Kay Clawson, executive vice chancellor of the University of Oklahoma the importance of higher faculty salaries
much of the original equipment should be replaced."
"For the whole medical profession, the average salary is going up so much that salaries at the Med Center are well below peer averages," Clawson said.
Clawson said that nursing salaries were a particular area of concern. He said the starting salary for nurses at the Med Center
must be increased in order to compete with other medical institutions.
"Despite tremendous recruiting efforts, we still have 65 vacancies for nurses." Clawson said.
Eugene L. Staples, vice chancellor of hospital administration, said that higher faculty and nurses' salaries must be included in the final bill.
The subcommittee will continue discussion on the Med Center tomorrow.

Israel is at a turning point, speaker tells a tense crowd
by Mary Neubauer Kansan staff writer
In a tension-filled Alderson Auditorium at the Kansas University, the director of the Jewish-Arab Institute in Biel-Berl, Israel, spoke to a crowd that included many Palestine Liberation Organization supporters.
Averer Regev, the director, said he thought Israel was at a turning point. The Jewish people don't know what to do about the Palestinian uprising in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, he said.
"It takes time for us as a democratic society to reach a consensus between the people to try to find a solution to what we call the Palestinian problem," he said. "Never mind what people say in the TV because in the TV all the sides say many things."
"If the Palestinians now start to understand that they are at a turning
Regev said the Palestinians believed the area designated as the state of Israel belonged to them, and they wanted the Israelis to leave that

point and not in a position where they can throw us out of the area, then we'll achieve something." he said.
The turning point for the Palestinians is that an independent Palestinian state is not wanted. Regev said
"I don't believe that King Hussein wants a Palestinian state," he said. "I don't believe that President Mubarak wants a Palestinian state. And I believe that the leaders of the Palestinians know very well that no Mubarak, no King Hussein, no President Assad, none of them want a
Palestinian state."
Regev said he would meet with anyone on a peaceful basis.
Andrea Katzman, coordinator of the Regve speech, said she thought the powerful emotions on both sides not well represented by the media.
"I hope this served to educate some people to the problem," she said. "I didn't invite Regen here as a PR piece for the Israeli cause."
Mahmoud Abuali, president of the American Friends of the Palestinians, said he didn't think Regev was as very effective speaker.

The code states that academic misconduct be students or professors will not be tolerated.
By a vote of 11 to 8, the code was named the "Code of Academic Honesty."
A committee of the School of Business on Friday unanimously approved an honor code
Academic misconduct by an instructor includes grading student work by criteria other than academic performance and the negative neglect of teaching duties, the code states.
Academic misconduct by students includes the disruption of classes and giving or receiving unauthorized aid on examinations or in the preparation of notebooks, themes, materials and assignments. It also includes knowingly misrepresenting the source of any academic work.
Alice Craig, Topea junior and a member of the University Business Council that wrote the code, said debate occurred under his office. He expressed about what the code should be.
"A group of professors was concerned that students should be more responsible for the learning process."
want to build on the code and get students to feel in their duty to care for new students know
William Beedles, professor of business, said that a few professors worked with students to form the basic ideas for the code, but that the students worked independently after that, only meeting with professors occasionally to check their progress.
"The students' work was impressive," Beedle said.
At the meeting Friday, professors and students agreed that by 1961 there would be a majority of teachers.
"We don't want to introduce this code and then never hear about it again," she said. She's not a big fan of the tech. If you're put on academic misconduct, you've probably done something to deserve it."
The code states that observed violations can be reported by confronting the individual privately to try to resolve the problem or by asking an officer or a faculty member, division director or dean.
All complaints should include the name of the alleged violator, the date and time of the alleged violation and the nature of the incident, the code states.
After the charge of academic misconduct has been made, the accused person would be
notified immediately by a faculty member, the code states. If a student wished to protest a grade given by an instructor accused of academic misconduct, the dean of the school in which the course is offered would be notified
The code states that people accused of academic misconduct have certain rights.
They can have a hearing conducted by a curricular committee of the school, receive a written statement of any charge and the facts supporting it, present evidence to an impartial examiner and examine any evidence presented at a hearing concerning a charge.
They can also be represented by an adviser or counselor of their choice at the hearing, receive prompt notification of any decisions made in their case and make to the Judicial Board of the University.
The curricular committee members will present their recommendation of sanctions toward the guilty party to the dean of the university and submit their sanctions or submit his own sanctions.
Sanctions can include warning, a disciplinary probation, suspension or expulsion, the code states. More than one sanction may be required by an instructor for the same offense or offenses.
