University skeptical about Department of Education
By MARY JO HOWARD
Staff Reporter
A proposal to create a federal Department of Education at the cabinet level is drawing attention.
Both the House of Representatives and the Senate passed separate bills recently that called for the creation of the federal agency. The bill is working on a compromise of the two bills.
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said earlier this week that the KU administration thought the plan would lead to federal insistence on freedom of education and bachelor learning.
"It will increase federal interference in an area which have historically been state-run."
Dale Scannell, dean of the School of Education, said he was opposed to the plan because it might make it more difficult to get educational legislation and funding passed. Education bills are now proposed to Congress by the Department of Health, and it is hard for educators to gain more power to bill passes than a new education department. Scannell said
HOWEVER, CRAIG GRANT, a field representative for the National Education Association, said he thought the establishment of an education department would make it easier to get legislation passed.
Grant works with teachers in northeast Kansas for NEA, a teachers' lobbying organization.
He said he thought that Congress had a negative attitude toward HEW because of the unpopularity of Medicare and welfare programs but that this attitude would not be directed at a separate department of education.
Todd Seymour, president of the Kansas University Endowment Association, said he is encouraging students to use the
"THEERE WILL BE closer control and probably better decisions will be made," he said. "But I hate to see another major agency created because of the bureaucracy."
Both Scannell and Seymour said they would rather see the money that would be involved in setting up the department go directly to schools.
However, Grant said that although there would be a large initial expense, a separate department would be more economical over a period of time.
"In the long run, have everything concentrated in one department, instead of spread over several departments as it is now, should save money." Grant said.
Allan Cigler, associate professor of political science, said he thought the issue was a "terribly complex one with advantages and disadvantages."
"EDUCATIONAL CONCERNS will be given more emphasis," Cigar said. "But when an element in society has its own bureaucracy, Educational expenditures will
probably go up faster than if there were no special department."
The vote on the Department of Education was a political decision, Cigler said. Many legislators who have traditionally supported educational interests voted against the bills, who have been traditionally conservative on educational issues voted for the bills.
CIGLER SAID HE thought conservatives might have been forced for the plan in order to keep them out.
Sixteen commissioners have headed HEW's division of education during the past 15 years. Grant said he thought a separate education would provide more stability.
"The plan is opposed mainly by social welfare groups who are afraid that education will get a bigger piece of the pie," Cigler said.
However, Scannell said he had serious doubts that the benefits of the plan would be material.
"We probably won't get any more money," he said, "and the department would be under strong pressure from special interest groups." (Crestwood)
"The new department will not be the department of NEA, as some have suggested," he said. "There won't be that much more pressure from special interest groups because the department will still have to go through Congress to get money."

student housing would be needed there.
But the ONA contends that because
the student housing growth went east and
the student housing growth went south,
it is expected to represent what is currently there.
BROWN DISAGREED with Schumm's stand that there would not be further need
“Oread is the chief source of low priced housing,” she said. “There are always going to be students on a restricted budget and there’s a lot that is going to be the first place they’ll come.”
Schumm said strict code enforcement and an ordinance similar to the city's sign ordinance that would regulate arsenic could achieve what the residents wanted.
He cited Walt Disney World as an example of what could be done.
"Dinseyworld is a totally Victorian style structure," he said.
With architectural control, even four
rooms made suitable to the
neighborhood he designed.
EVEN IF DOWN-ZONING had been approved, Schumm said, developers could still build duplexes with four rooms a unit which would be the same as four-plexes.
After down-zoning was disapproved, the commission referred the matter back to the planning commission to reconsider its recommendation.
"We have done a lot since the ONA was established," Salkind said. "And we were asking the city to help us. We can't do it all by ourselves."
"I don't know why three commissioners saw fit to overrule the planning commission and the staff that has studied the situation. I don't know why the ONA has authorized this mission. These are people who count, but they were not counted Tuesday night."
Watson Library needs new logo
Watson Library needs a symbol for its renovation project to be used on signs and bulletins informing the public about changes during the construction. Construction is scheduled to begin early next year.
The library staff would like to hear any suggestions right away, said Carol Chittenden, associate reference librarian and a member of the information during the renovation project.
"Transient glory" will be the only contest reward, she said.
Ideas may be drawn or described in words and should be limited to a space no larger than 8½ by 3 inches in three colors which would include paper and two ink. Submissions should include the words "Watson and the Information Update" in Helvetica medium type.
Suggestions, signed or anonymous, should be submitted to Jiri Kanz, de libraries.
"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25
"THE FOOL HATH SAIID IN his HEART, THERE IS NO GOD, THEY ARE CORRUID, THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING, THEY ARE DONE NOTHING, GOOD, THE LORD LOOKED DOWN FROM HEAVEN UPON THE CHILDREN OF MEN, DOO TOE IF THEY WERE ANY THAT DID UNDERSTAND, AND SEEK GOD. THEY ARE ONE ASIDE, AND THEY ARE TOGETHER BECOME FILLY, IN the King of Egypt, the word here translated filly is the Hebrew for "Stinking"); THERE IS NONE that DOETH GOD, NO, NOT ONE!" This is the first three verses of the 14th Psalm, also of 3rd of The Bible, God Almighty's Book ofMessages to man.
The New Testament confirm this appraisal of the natural man in Romans 3:10-12, as indeed, do all The Scriptures that concern the human world. It is important to need be made 'New Creatures' in Christian Jesus, and God's "So Great Salvation" provides the means by which this can happen to you: "Ask, and ye shall receive; Seek, and ye shall find." As we saw in Chapter 7, however, of trifling and fooling around profanely and carelessly regarding your personal and individual relations with God, it is not likely to see someone not look first at a preacher, or teacher — sometime a lawyer wrote saying it appeared to him that many of the cherywites wrote the people to worship Him! Probably there were also people who
are the sons and daughters of Mr. Blindman and Mrs. Batt's Eyes, two characters in Burunva's *Piriform's Progress*.
In Isaiah 45:22-23, God says, “LOOK UNTO ME, AND BE EVA SAVED, ALL THE ENDES OF THE EARTH; FOR I AM GOD YOU WAS MY SUPPORT.” In Ephesus 7:10, the WORD IS GONE OUT OF MY MOUTH IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, and SHALL NOT RETURN, THAT TO ME EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW, AND EVERY KNEE SHALL BE KNOWN. OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT FAINT! LUKE 18:1
God says it is the "fool" that says in his heart "there is no God!" From about the year 1917 the Russian government has been saying "there is no God." Consider how corrupt they are. If there is a God, we can't suffer much of the world. Consider how this devil doctrine has affected our great nation — until recent years probably the most God-leasing and God blessed nation on the earth. When the world was still relatively empty of God, yet we gave them recognition a little over forty years ago, and now this corruption has so spread in our own land that we don't permit the recognition of God Almighty in our lives. And now we young in the Russian devil doctrine that there is no God.
"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words will not." said Christ, and the first recorded passages of His after his baptism was stamp of approval of all The Old Testament — See Matthew and Luke 4.4.

Jewish Gospel

rsalceal, a musical group that specializes in "Jewish Gospel" music, concludes their act at a performance in front of the
Kansas Union. The group, which is sponsored by Jews for Jesus, is currently touring the Midwest.
Jews for Jesus preach gospel
Israelight, a traveling group of six Jews for Jesus, sang Jewish gospel songs and talked about their faith to more than 30 KU students yesterday in front of the Kansas Union.
Steffi Rubin, a member of the group, said they were trying to let people know that Jews, who usually do not acknowledge religion, were not allowed without it being a threat to their Judaism.
"Jesus is a real option for a loyal Jew," she said.
"Our goal is to communicate. God does the converting."
Rubin said the group, which had its headquarters in San Francisco, tried to inform people about the option and did not directly try to convert them.
She said she did not see a conflict between being Jewish and also believing in the Lord.
“Believing in Jesus has made us more Jewish. The old testament points to a Messiah. Each of us in our own conclusion believes that Jesus is the Messiah. We believe Jesus is the Jewish Messiah.”
Rubin agreed that Jews for Jesus' beliefs were not held by many other Jews.
She said that she just hoped that people would listen to their beliefs with an open mind.
Rubin said the group occasionally received harassment. It was mostly from her and their supervisor.
throughout the United States and sometimes the world. She said her particular group was on a two-and-a-half-carriage throughout the southwest and midwest states.
She said the group paid its way around the country with contributions.
Rubin said their group was just one of six similar triposes that were traveling
Hubin said they never solicited funds and only wanted people to contribute if they had money.
Bob Mendelson, 312 W. 16th, said he grew up as an Orthodox Jew, but became a Methodist.
"I did it because I was in need of spiritual fulfillment, depth in life and a sense of purpose."
He said he still considered himself a Jew even though he believed in Jesus.
"That doesn't make me a gentle, just a complete Jew."
What's a Schlotzsky?
No, it isn't a Polish casserole. It isn't Barbara Streisand's real name and it isn't one of the seven dwarfs. A Schlotzsky is a
unique sandwich with a history that reads like a fairy tale.
We love to cook and used to spend a lot of time at home experimenting with recipes. One after
noon we created a marvelous bun. A bun so good it fathered a sandwich, the Schlotsky. Our friends tried it and came back. We were super excited, feeding them (friendship only goes so far) so we opened our first shop with seats for a dozen people. The rest is history. We're making
Schlitzsksy all over the country, but it's the same sandwich, still made on our special fresh ban baked locally every day.
is a blend of three meats and three melted cheeses in
perfect proportion with lettuce, tomatoes, and other special ingredients served warm to a bun started it all. No one flavor dominates. It's a happy balance that will make you smile.
There is a large Schlotzsky which is usually plenty for two, and a small Schlotzsky that's a complete meal for one. But that's all, only sandwich we make, it's *good*.
good
Come try one. You'll be pleased.
After one Schlotzky, you'll accept no substituteskys.
Just one sandwich...it's that good!
