Continued from p.
respect their ideas," Budig said. "I have written more letters of recommendation for KU graduates than probably any other chancellor."
He said that he had taught at least one graduate education course in organization, administration and marketing every semester for the past 21 years.
His habit of speaking from prepared statements also has baffled people.
Epstein recalled that for his first meeting with the chancellor, he had to describe his concerns in detail to Budig's secretary.
After some small talk, Budig pulled out an index card with the answers to Epstein's comments and read it to him.
Seally said that Budig's experiences as a journalist and as a university president had taught him that it is important to correctly from a prepared statement.
Epstein said, "He knows what can be done with the spoken word."
Buddio faces demands
Budig said it was difficult, but meaningful, to balance his family with the demands of his job.
"These jobs are and will always be demanding," he said. "I have been a university president for the past 14 years. The pace never changes."
Budig is the first chancellor in 50 years to have a preschool-aged child, 4-year-old Kathryn, Scally said. Budig and his wife, Gretchen, have two older children, Christopher, 22, a KU senior, and Mary Francis, 20, a junior at the University of Illinois.
Budig's main problem as chancellor has been dealing with Kansas law.
Scally said, "We aren't starving, we aren't going bankrupt, but he became chancellor just in time for bad times in Kansas."
Building projects like the renovation of Snow Hall, the construction of the new science library and the John G. Kearns Library will continue, despite the budget cuts.
"We've been very lucky that the cuts have not come in the educational system," she said.
He said Budig had also made minority relations a priority of his family.
Budig endorsed the Center for Black Leadership Research and Development and solicited gifts and donations for a small division of the Kansas Collection, called the Black History Collection, in Spencer Research Library.
"It's an important vote of confidence for the University from a very influential segment of the black community that a white chancellor at KU
can go to a black leader and say, 'What you've done is important and needs to be preserved,' and be listened to.' Scally said.
Scally said that Budig preferred to avoid the nuts-and-bolts aspect of the exercise.
"His style is much less public than Chancellor Dykes was. Budig's style is less gregarious, more personal, quieter and low-kowed," he said.
Budig said, "I am not an exhibitionist. I do poorly in dealing with superficial issues. I prefer to be less flamboyant and deal with substance."
Departure is speculated
In 1981, Budig said he would like to serve five to seven years as KU's chancellor, leading many to speculate either he has considered leaving KU.
Sceally said, "I have heard people say, 'Next year is Budig's last year,' as if it were some kind of fact, but I don't think that's true at all.
Budig wouldn't speculate on if or when he would leave.
"My objective is to do the best I can for the University of Kansas," Budig said. "I have a lot to worry about with the Legislature in session. That is an all-consuming process."
