Fund drive set for May KUEA hoping to raise $100 million for KU
By Brenda Finnell
Kansan staff writer
The money has not been raised yet, but visions of ways to spend it are dancing in the heads of some University of Kansas officials.
But whether the dreams become reality depends on how much money the Kansas University Endowment Association raises in the Campaign Kansas fund drive, which begins in May.
Jim Martin, executive director of Campaign Kansas, said that $100 million was the tentative campaign goal and a definite goal would be set by May.
The money will pay for KU projects that state money does not finance, Martin said. He also said the money would help KU attract and retain the best students and faculty.
"In order for it to maintain its position as the leading university in the Big Eight and one of the leading public universities in the country, private resources are essential to support other resources," Martin says. "We make the difference between a satisfactory education and a truly outstanding one."
School deans, department chairmen and other officials were asked last fall to submit requests for the money's use.
"We've just made a big shopping list," said Marilyn Clark, director of resource development at Watson Library.
The University's requests totaled $550 million. University administrators then examined the requests and trimmed that amount to the $100 million figure.
Martin said the tentative amount was a goal the Endowment Associa-

tion thought it could reach based on a feasibility study by a Chicago fundraising firm.
Committees of volunteers will be organized to ask industries, corporations and foundations for donations, Martin said. The volunteers will be KU alumni, faculty, students and friends of the University.
Planning for Campaign Kansas began about a year ago. The campaign is supposed to last four more years.
Clark said the largest portion of the library's money would go toward buying new books. She said specific subject areas such as American sports and recreation, Kansas photographic history and Kansas mapping would receive new materials.
Another big item on the library's list is a new music library. Clark said the Murphy Hall music library was too small.
"It's so crowded, you can hardly turn around." she said.
Scholarship funds for both undergraduate and graduate education students are a priority for Edward Meyen, dean of education. Meyen will conduct a lecture fund for the school would benefit both students and faculty.
John Tolleifson, dean of business would like scholarships and fellowships for his school, too. He said the
business school might also use money to do research in industry and finance.
In addition, a field study program to give students and faculty contacts in the business community might be created, Tollefon said.
Marlin Harmony, chemistry department chairman, said his department also would welcome scholarship and fellowship money.
Laboratory equipment is needed, too. Harmony said. Both small and large items are on the department's list.
Micro-sized flasks, which cost $20 to $50, are among the least expensive items, Harmony said. The most expensive items include spectroscopic equipment, which measures radiation wavelengths and can cost $30,000 to $100,000.
Gunther Schlager, chairman of the biology sciences division, said his department would like to have money for new facilities to do research in molecular genetics. A new electron microscope also is needed.
Philip Humphrey, Museum of Natural History director, said the museum would like to establish an endowment to improve its collections. Fellowships for graduate students working on their degrees in the museum also are important, he said.
Humphrey said he was optimistic at alarms and was pleased by the campaign effort.
"It's a wonderful thing, and we are doing our best to help it succeed," Humphrey said.
Rather angers Bush on TV
WASHINGTON — Vice President George Bush and CBS anchor Dan Rather engaged in a contentious interview on live television yesterday evening, Bush saying that the network had impugned his integrity on the Iran-contra affair and misled him about the tonic of the interview.
The Associated Press
Bush said that CBS officials had told him he would be interviewed for a political profile, not a report on his role in the sale of arms to Iran.
The interview, on the CBS Evening News, became so heated that on several occasions both men talked at
once, making it impossible to understand the words of either.
A clearly angry Bush referred to an incident last year in which Rather reportedly left the CBS News set when a sports event ran into time scheduled for a newscast, resulting in several minutes of blank airtime.
"It's not fair to judge my whole career by a rehash on Iran," Bush said. "How would you like it if I judged your career by those seven minutes when you walked off the set in New York?" Would you like that?"
Rather's response was unintelligible, and then Bush said. "I have

respect for you, but I don't have respect for what you're doing here tonight."
As Bush began to respond, seemingly beginning to say that he had held numerous news conferences, Rather said "I gather that the answer is no," and ended the interview.
Lab president takes command

Floors shine. The men's and women's bathroom signs are Post-It Notes. A new carpet smell fills the air and boxes are stacked in the corners.
Everything in the new Oread Laboratories is new, including the boss.
William Duncan, the new president of Oread Laboratories, 15th and Wakarusa, replaced Albert Adelman this January.
He's been on the job for two weeks and hasn't unpacked everything, but he says he's excited and ready to assume command of the business enterprises at Oread.
William Duncan, Oread Laboratories president
"The possibilities associated with Oread Laboratories are unlimited. It provides unbelievable insight into the moment of our business." Dungan said.
Oread Labs develops pharmaceutical technologies and puts new drug products on the market.
Howard Mossberg, chairman of the board at Oread and Kuen de of pharmacy, said Duncan was the ideal choice for the job.
"If we were to list the activities needed to be chief officer of Oread, Dr. Duncan has experience in all of them," he said. "The activities will be slightly different here, but he is very well trained for the job."
Duncan received his master's degree in organic chemistry from Pittsburgh State University in 1966. He received his doctorate in organic synthesis from Oklahoma State University in 1972
For the past ten years he was the head organic and radiochemical synthesis at Midwest Research Institute in Kansas City, Mo.
The institute develops pharmaceutical technologies used for drug analysis and identifies environmental contaminants, Duncan said.
"We did work for the National Cancer Institute and the Environmental Protection Agency," he said.
For example, the EPA would bring the institute a sample
thought to contain contaminants. The institute provided them with authentic contaminant samples so the EPA could conclusively identify the actual contaminants, Duncan said.
"We were not in the field to regulate pollution but merely to identify the chemicals in a certain substance," he said.
Duncan's pharmaceutical background prepared him for his job at Oread, because most of the business he saw new drug developments, he said.
for BioAnalytical Research, on West Campus. Oread Labs, founded by Takeru Higuchi in 1983, was designed to commercialize developments at the research center.
Oread Labs works closely with the University of Kansas Center
Higuchi was a KU Regents distinguished professor of chemistry and pharmacy. He died last spring.
The research center developed a detector for liquid chromatography that Oread has commercialized, said Ted Kuwana, director of the center. The detector analyzes the amount of peptides in drugs, and Oread sells this service to pharmaceutical companies.

Who Do You Call When You Want To Identify A Soccer Ball From 22,300 Miles In Space?
The U.S. Air Force asked us to build a ground-based electro-optical surveillance system that could identify an object the size of a soccer ball from 22,300 miles in space. We did it, utilizing 3 telescopes and a large computer system. Then they asked us to build four more. Quite an achievement, but it's just one example of TRW's impact on the future.
A company called TRW. Here's the story.
TRW offers you the freedom to move among a wide variety of opportunities in microelectronics, high energy lasers, large software systems, communications, and scientific spacecraft. If you're majoring in engineering, computer science, math, or physics, and want to be with a company that's driving technology into the next century, it's not too soon to talk. Tomorrow is taking shape at a company called TRW.
