United Way not expected to meet goal
Campus/Area
By MICHAEL MERSCHEL Staff writer
Organizers of the United Way of Douglas County fund drive expect to fall short of their goal by several thousand dollars, even though the length of the drive has been extended.
$100,000 goal, said Ed Meyen, dean of education and chairman of the KU campaign.
caution That will mean the United Way will provide fewer services than they had hoped this year, but organizers say there is a bright side to this year's fund-raising efforts.
The University of Kansas has raised about $84,000 toward its
Failure to reach that figure did not disappoint Meyen, because the goal was the highest ever for KU.
"It may have been a little ambitious." he said.
But in a year in which their expenses rose while their salaries remained the same, faculty and staff had done well to contribute the $84,000, Meyen said.
response on the part of the faculty and staff," he said.
"That's a little bit less than last year, but it's still an excellent
Barb Smith, executive director of the United Way of Douglas County, said the drive had raised nearly $600,000. The goal was $638,000.
Smith said that even though the drive had been extended a month and a day past the original ending date of Nov. 13, she wasn't planning to make the goal.
But the group has achieved some of its other goals for the drive, Smith said. The group signed up 200 new accounts, and the distribution of
25,000 brochures has boosted awareness in the county of what the United Way does.
"We believe we've done some very positive things," she said. "Six hundred thousand dollars is not a number to be ashamed of."
Because of the shortfall, Smith said that the United Way would have to make cuts in programs that it finances.
Smith said that decisions about how and what programs would be affected by the shortfall would be made next month.
Official hopes to keep humanities program
By NOEL GERDES Staff writer
The chairman of the humanities committee said yesterday he was confident KU would continue to offer a degree in humanities, despite a Board of Regents recommendation that KU consider eliminating the major.
"The humanities committee has not yet met to discuss the recommendations, but I believe we have the complete support of the college office in maintaining the humanities program," said Bob Anderson, chairman and associate professor of French and Italian.
line Board of Regents voted Nov. 19 to recommend that KU consider eliminating the major.
Martine Hammond, Regents director of academic affairs, said the Regents recommended that KU find money, instructors to teach on a regular basis and a coordinator for the program. If KU decides it doesn't have the resources to make improvements, then the Regents recommend
eliminating the major.
Hammond said that the recommended number of students majoring in any program should be at least 50.
But Anderson said, "The humanities major was originally set up as a program for a few exceptional students who were so advanced that they could put together a major of a truly interdisciplinary nature."

He said that the humanities program typically had two to three majors a year. It has to borrow faculty from other departments and they teach extra class without extra pay.
Whether KU decides to eliminate the major will not affect the humanities courses KU already offers, Anderson said.
