Morale ...

the Universiteit like a business. They want to show the Legitimate 'look how many eggs there are.'
"THERE IS A general feeling of being in 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.
Carl Leban, associate professor of East Asian studies, supports *Wright*
"We have an administration concerned more with economic efficiency rather than academic excellence," Leban said. "That is why we are running a supermarket at a university."
T. P. SRINIVASAN, professor of mathematics and a member of FExa, said that evaluations of faculty by students, who are usually the worst effect on faculty morale,
"The faculty are made to evaluate each other constantly," Srivinasan said. "They don't see evaluation leading to anything except to create more friction."
Ari Knapper, professor of business and a member of FacEx, said he thought another negative aspect of the evaluations was that the members were prevented from being creative.
"Because student evaluations are used in tenure evaluations, the instructor has to test students for good performance rated too low," Knapper said. "Faculty member has to be careful not offended to them."
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 backstaging sessions, he said, where faculty tried to out-justify each other for the wage increases.
Wright also said that the almost constant demand for documentation of ability through evaluations had made the faculty almost帕朋 about demonstrating their knowledge.
Leban said many faculty members would not apply for the raises because they did not want to be part of a larger university.
"In a corporate structure this may be legitimate, but not in a University."
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said he agreed that there were increasing bureaucratic controls over the University's faculty, but he said there was little he could
"Every spring the members of the departments compete for the merit salary money." Leban said. "This is one of the best salaries of morale and the cooperative element."
"There are an increasing amount of federal and state regulations that force the University to engage in monitorine tivities and procedures." Dykes said.
"YOU HAVE ALMOST constant feedback asking are you good enough." Wright said. "Faculty members, especially those looking at our results, will turn to out the product depended on them."
Dykes said he spends one-third of working on business involving gov. regulations. More rules seem to be each day, he said.
THEY SEEM to be inevitable, but gotten to the point where the institut higher education no longer control the houses," Dykes said.
"Faculty are legitimately concer the growing bureaucracy, but a lot faculty don't realize that it's not from us," he said.

TOPEKA-Funding for women's athletics and libraries could be restored to the KU budget if the recommendations of a Kansas University Means subcommittee are approved today.
Approval of funding could aid KU budge
In addition, the three-member subcommittee has made a recommendation to pay $277,500 from an allocation for the Marvin Hall to renovate Lindley Hall.
Under Gov. John Carlin's budget recommitment, the athletics team has a library security system were given. The subcommittee is scheduled to make its entire presentation to Gov. Carlin on Thursday.
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 $16,800 for miscellaneous equipment and $10,000 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 order both construction projects off the next year.
"We're going to have to hire buildings sooner or later anyway longer we put off starting on Linda more it will cost in the long run," he said.
Heinemann said the funds to fin

Hall and about $1,650,000 to finish
he said.
Despite the high cost of renovation is about $50 a square foot, he said rer would 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 very important because of all the moving it can handle. The book detection heineman said. "Besides, the red book theta will make the system more efficient."
The $16,660 that would be rest women's athletics is less than half of request by KU. Subcommittee said the money would be used for t athletic events and for an athletic room.

try to prevent more regulations from appearing on the books.
Faculty members said they agreed that over-regulation harmed the University but they 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."
"Over-regulation threatens the University's existence," Dykes said.
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 corporation to be a supervisor.
“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.”
Srinivasa said that the faculty needed to be assured by the administration that they were performing well.

Dykes said he wanted to emphasize that the board would advise the athletic director
"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."

Nemchock, 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.

But Nernochch's designs, which incorporate items such as solar cells, magnetic switches, fiber optics and light diodes, may be the jewelry of the future.
"About three years ago, I started thinking about putting some electronics with jewelry," Nernchock, professor of jewelry and silversmithing, said. "I'm just working with different applications of new materials." The artist and designer are just expanding.
Nernchock's "bodonic jewelry," as he calls it, combines traditional metals in geometric designs with tiny flashing bulbs and pinpoints of light—all powered by a tiny battery and a sensor that activates the lights when the pieces are worn.
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
Nemchock, who came to the University of Kansas in 1973 from the art institute in Cleveland, said he was in contact with English, German and West Coast designers were working, with electronic jewelry. He said the work was too new to be profitable.
"It's just basic research now," he said. "There are no guide books on how to do it."

WILSON SAID the Office of Housing checked whether prospective tenants were enrolled in classes at KU. He said applicants were asked if they were married.
"Our verification procedures usually include checking the enrollment records to make sure that tenants are actually students and we also ask if they are either married or if they are a divorced head of the household," Wilson said.
He said single parents who were a family's main source of income were allowed to live at Stouffer Place.
Wilson said the system of checking tenants was being revised.
"We're in the process of tightening up our verification," Wilson said. "Right now, we don't know what is enrolled, we pretty much have to believe what applicants tell us about their requirements."
Wilson said he had compiled a list of about 10 documents to be used to verify marital status. He had he sent the list to her lawyer, and the counsel's office last month for approval.

Although the housing at Stouffer Place is reserved for married students only, Wilson said knew that unmarried students had lived at Stouffer Place.
"We recently found in the paper a divorce notification of one of our tenants," Wilson said. "In that case we asked him to move out."
However, Souffier Place managers Gene and Jackie Veith said the tenure of the woman was a man's responsibility; two women to live with him and that the two of them considered themselves married by

"WE TRY TO be as understanding and give those people who have to move time to find somewhere else to live," Veith said.
"I couldn't calculate the number of tenants that have moved for reasons like moving to a new location or a position as managers to initiate action against such tenants. We only report what we know."
Mrs. Veith said she usually found out about unmarried students living at Stouffer Place from other tenants.
