Morale...
From page one
the university like a business. They want to show the Legislauret 'look how many eggs they can make.'
"THEERE IS A general feeling of being in a corporate system where things are manufactured and produced, rather than created."
Wright said the administration had instilled a corporate atmosphere in the faculty through continual evaluations and competition for benefits.
"The dehumanization of people by audits and evaluations fits a business and commercial world rather than a university," he said.
"We have an administration concerned more with economic efficiency rather than academic excellence." Leban said. "That is why we are running a supermarket on a university."
Carl Leban, associate professor of East Asian studies, supports Wright's
T. P. SRINIVASAN, professor of mathematics and a member of FacEx, said that evaluations of faculty by students, teachers, and staff had had the worst effect on faculty morale.
"The faculty are made to evaluate each other constantly," Srinivasan said. "They don't see evaluation leading to anything except to create more friction."
Ariko Knapper, professor of business and a member of FacEx, said he thought another negative aspect of the evaluations was that employees were prevented from being creative.
"Because student evaluations are used in secure evaluations, the instructor has to test students before they are rated too low," Knapper said. "Faculty members have to be careful not to offend too many."
LEBAN SAID the evaluations—combined with the bad economics situation—had resulted in an ugly trend. The application and evaluation process for merit salary
increases awarded by the departments had turned into backtabbing sessions, he said, where faculty tried to out-justify each other for the waze increases.
Wright also said that the almost constant demand for documentation of ability through evaluations had made the faculty almost paranoid about demonstrating their competence.
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said he agreed that there were increasing bureaucratic controls over the University's status, but he said there was little he could do.
Leban said many faculty members would not apply for the raises because they did not understand the pay structure.
"In a corporate structure this may be legitimate, but not in a University."
"Every spring the members of the departments compete for the merit salary money. Leban said. "This is one of the most important elements of morale and the cooperative element."
Dykes he spends one-third of working on business involving gov regulations. More rules seem to be each day, he said.
"There are an increasing amount of federal and state regulations that force the University to engage in monitors tivities and procedures." Dykes said
"THEY SEEM to be inevitable, by gotten to the point where the institu higher education no longer control thieves," Dykes said.
"YOU HAVE ALMOST constant feedback asking are you good enough," Wright said. "Faculty members, especially those looking at us with the most concern, to turn on the product demanded of them.
"Faculty are legitimately concern the growing bureaucracy, but a lo faculty don't realize that, it's not from us," he said.
Dykes said he knew that educat been hurt by the growing bureaucr that the only thing that could be dome
TOPEKA-Funding for women's athletics and libraries could be restored to the KU budget if the recommendations of a Kansas House Ways and Means subcommittee are
Approval of funding could aid KU budge
In addition, the three-member subcommittee has made a recommendation to $277,500 from an allocation for 10 million of Marvin轩 to renovate Lindley Hall.
IN HIS INITIAL budget proposal, the governor recommended that $1,277,500 be distributed among all 11 agencies.
Under Gov. John Carlin's budget recommendation, the fund for neither the university nor the medical system were given. The subcommittee is scheduled to make its entire presentation to Gov. Carlin.
Yesterday, subcommittee members met with Marlon Rein, director of legislative research, to refine their recommendations on the KU budget.
Among the subcommittee's recommendations were the restoration to the budget of $140 million for miscellaneous facilities for the library and $100,000 for the library security system.
However, subcommittee members broke that figure down, allocating $1 million for the renovation of Marvin and $277,500 for the renovation of Lindley.
State Rep. David Heinemann, R-Garden
City, subcommittee chairman, a favored splitting the money in orde both construction projects off the next year.
"we're going to have to finish buildings sooner or later anyway longer we put off starting on Lind mec will it cost in the long run," he said.
Heinemann said the funds to fini-
nish the buildings, building
allocated by the League, will
would take about $1,550,000 to finish
Hall and all $1,650,000 to finish
Despite the high cost of renovation is about $54 a square foot, he said rewould still be cheaper than building building.
Because of the value of the book KU libraries, subcommittee memb that restoration of funding for a security system would pay for itself.
"The book detection system is v"
"important because of all the moving t."
"Heinemann said. 'Besides, the redo"
"the book shell mean to make the system"
"work.'"
The $16,660 that would be rest women's athletics is less than half of request by KU. Subcommittee maid the money would be used for athletic events and for an athletic room.

try to prevent more regulations from appearing on the books.
"Over-regulation threatens the University's existence." Dykes said.
Faculty members said they agreed that over-regulation harmed the University but offered their own solutions to the faculty morale problem.
"MANY FACULTY members want more involvement in making the budget," Swartz said. "Having confidence in the budget allocations would boost morale."
Srinivasan and Evelyn Swartz, professor of curriculum instruction and chairman of FacEx, said that more faculty involvement in administrative functions was needed.
Leban said, "You have to think of the academic mission first. We need an administration that can provide academic leadership."
But Heller said it no longer was possible for the administrative head of a large company to do that.
Srimivasan said that the faculty needed to be assured by the administration that Srimivasan was doing well.
"It's not the day any longer where a university president can go around patting people on the back," Heller said. "The role of the administrator today is to acquire resources."

tracy Spellman, a board member, said the effectiveness of the merger would depend on the attitudes of the administration.

Nernchock, who grew up in Chicago and studied jewelry design in Denmark, said he always had an interest in electronics, physics and metallurgy. He said the work he was doing would be much more difficult away from a university campus.

if the two boards merged, women's athletics would lose their emphasis on academics.
"It's the women who are having to make the biggest changes," she said. "And I'm afraid if the boards merge, we might lose our philosophy."
Dykes said he wanted to emphasize that the board would advise the athletic director
new metal, titanium, which can be changed to any color. He said he also had hopes of making jewelry that could emit sounds and light, and that would be reflected by light, temperature and movement.

But Nernchomk's designs, which incorporate items such as solar cells, magnetic switches, fiber optics and light disks, may be the jewelry of the future.
"I AUDITED SOME courses in the sciences and I hang around the engineering building and Malotl Hall a lot," he said. "The research materials are here and I think KU has really been supportive of research in the arts."
Nemchock, who came to the University of Kansas in 1972 from the art institute in Cleveland, said he was in contact with English, German and West Coast designers working with electronic jewelry. He said the work was too new to be profitable.

emerich designs look more like props for

"About three years ago, I started thinking about putting some electronics with jewelery." Nernchom, professor of jewelry and silversmithing, said. "I'm just working on new materials. The tools of the artist and designer are just expanding."
"It's just basic research now," he said.
There are no guide books on how to do it,
and you have to get your hands around it.
Nermock'hoc's "bodonic jewelry," as he calls it, combines traditional metals in the form of gold and pimperons of light—all powered by a tiny battery and a sensor that activates the batteries.
Nernchock said the materials he used came from campus departments and research departments in space, telephone and computer countries. He said because much of the country. He said because much of the
