Morale...
From page one
the University like a business. They want to show the Legislature 'look how many eggs
"THEE 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.
Carl Leban, associate professor of East Asian studies, supported Wright's
"We have an administration concerned more with economic efficiency rather than academic excellence." Leban said. "That is not true," she said, running a supermarket near a university.
T. P. SRINIVASAN, professor of mathematics and a member of FacEx, said that evaluations of faculty by students, teachers, and staff 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."
Anno 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 creative work.
"Because student evaluations are used in tenure evaluations, the instructor has to test students for certain competencies rated too low," Knapper said. "Faculty members have to be careful not to offend 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 backstabbing sessions, he said, where faculty tried to out-justify each other for the wage increases.
"Every spring the members of the departments compete for the merit salary money." Leban said. "This is one of the most important aspects of morale and cooperative element."
Leban said many faculty members would not apply for the raises because they did not want them.
Wright also said that the almost constant demand for documentation of ability through evaluations had made the faculty almost paranoid about demonstrating their skills.
"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 airity, but he said there was little he could do.
"YOU HAVE ALMOST constant feedback asking are you good enough." Wright said. "Faculty members, especially those looking at your email, may be able to turn out the product demanded of them."
"There are an increasing amount of federal and state regulations that force the University to engage in monitoring activities and procedures." Dykes said.
Dykes said he spends one-third of his day working on business involving government regulations. More rules seem to be passed each day, he said.
"THEY SEEM to be inevitable, but it has gotten to the point where the institutions of higher education no longer control their own houses." Dykes said.
"Faculty are legitimately concerned by the growing bureaucracy, but a lot of the faculty don't realize that it's not coming from us." he said.
Dykes said he knew that education had been hurt by the growing bureaucracy, but not the lack of knowledge.
"Over-regulation threatens the University's existence." Dykes said.
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.
Srinivasan and Evelyn Swartz, professor of curriculum instruction and chairman of FacEx, said that more faculty involvement in administrative functions was needed.
"MANY FACULTY members want more involvement in making the budget," Swartz said. "Having confidence in the budget allocations would boost morale."
Srinivasan said that the faculty needed to be assured by the administration that they were working well.
Leban said, "You have to think of the academic mission first. We need an administration that can provide academic leadership."

men's athletic director, who was not responsible for women's athletics.
Tracy Spellman, a board member, said the effectiveness of the merger would depend on the attitudes of the administration.
Sahkelak will a male athlete and a female athlete might fill the K Club board position
The new board would comprise 15 members, three of whom would be students. One of the students would be a member of K a proposed group of athletes who earn tickets.
Athletics...
KUAC has 21 members and the women's advisory board has 16 members.
"IF IT WILL do what it says it will do, I think it will be very effective," she said. "But I have some reservations about attitudes concerning funding and the costs."
“It’s not the day any longer where a university president can go around gatting people on the back.” Heller said. “The role of administrator today is to acquire resources.”
Under the plan, the Women's Advisory Board and the University of Kansas Athletic Council.
But Heller said it no longer was possible for the administrative head of a large university to manage the student body.
"Hopefully after a few years, nature will take its course and we can just elect a state legislator."
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 to keep his voice low.
"KUAC has always been an advisory board," he said, "although sometimes it has become an emergency."
A "memorandum of understanding" was attached to the plan that listed commitments made by Dykes, Shankel, Washington and Marcum.
Included were $10,000, in addition to the state-funded merit salary increase, to work toward equitable salary levels for personnel in the women's program. In fiscal year 1981, salaries will be based on merit, level of education, and market pressures, the memorandum stated.
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 approved.
The memorandum also said that under the proposal recruiting would be the responsibility of individual coaches. Practice times for men's and women's soccer teams must be equitable basis that might require alternating practice times from year to year.
Approval of funding could aid KU budget
In addition, the three-member subcommittee has made a recommendation to sell $277,500 from an allocation for Marvin Hall to renovate LindenHall.
Under Gov. John Carlin's budget recommendation, under the new welfare system were given. The system was 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.
IN HIS INITIAL budget proposal, the governor recommended that $1,275,500 be
deployed.
City, subcommittee chairman, said he favored splitting the money in order to get both construction projects off the ground next year.
Among the subcommittee's recommendations were the restoration to the budget of $1,850 for miscellaneous costs and $2,675 for $10,000 for the library security system.
LEVINSON SAID she was concerned that
"We're going to have to finish both buildings sooner or later anyway, and the longer we put off starting on Lindley, the more it will cost in the long run." he said.
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
Heinemann said the funds to finish the renovation of both buildings should be funded. The company would take about $1,555,000 to finish Marvin Hall and about $1,650,000 to finish Lindley.
Despite the high cost of renovation, which is about $50 a square foot, he said renovation would still be cheaper than building a new building.
Because of the value of the books in the KU libraries, subcommittee members said that restoration of funding for a library security system would pay for itself.
"The book system is very important because of all the moving they'll be doing." "I think they will help Heimemand said." Besides, the reduction in book thefts will make the system pay for
The $16,600 that would be restored to women's athletics is less than half of $40,000 request by KU. Subcommittee members said the money would be used for travel to athletic events and for an athletic training room.

But Nernchock'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," Nernchom, professor of jewelry and silversmithing, said. "I'm just working with the artists of new materials. The tools of the art, 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 laboratories and military country. He said because much of the material was given to him, he could not purchase jewelry might cost if it were on the market.
"THEME MIGHT BE $0 in one piece but I don't really know," he said. "They're very easy to get and they only limited production so far. I want to get enough pieces together to do an album."

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 movement by light, temperature and movement.
Nernichow, 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.
"I AUDITED SOME courses in the science and I hang around the engineering building and Malott Hall a lot," he said. "The research materials are here and I think KU has really been supportive of research in the arts."

“It’s just basic research now.” he said. “There are no guide books on how to do it and these are just experimental pieces. I think it’s good for both students and professors to do both traditional and futuristic designing.”
