Linwood shuttle plant tentatively endorsed
By JOHN MUELLER
Staff Reporter
A transportation shuttle system between Lawrence and Kansas City has been tentatively endorsed by the Office of HRD (HRD Debt Teacher, ORP director, said yesterday.
The system would affect KU faculty members who commute to Kansas City to teach at the Lincoln Center. According to an GIRP report, KU could save as much as 20 percent of the faculty committed by way of a cooperative cue-pooling and a mini-dairy system.
Seanette Johnson, assistant to Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, said yesterday that the ORP report had been approved by the University of Academic Affairs for further study.
"The SYSTEM may be possible, but it
may not be possible of all possible
worlds. John said."
During the fall 1978 semester, 63 faculty members taught at the Linwood Center each week. ORP concluded that "in spite of the large number of faculty members teaching in our Center, we were at exactly the same time, there were relatively few forming car pools."
ORRP's report was based on information from 29 of 63 faculty members, who submitted travel vouchers for reimbursement through the Division of Continuing
Education. The report called the 29 "a representative group," but conceded that complete information is not readily available, includingcalculating costs of commuting to the Linnwood Center.
A TOTAL OF 91 faculty members are scheduled to teach at the center this spring. ORIP said that without a shuttle system, the cost of commuting to the center would be
With a shuttle system, OIRP estimates, the cost wouldn't exceed $8,000. The savings would result from using a University minibus and from requiring faculty members to
No faculty member would need to stay at the Linwood Center more than 30 minutes longer than he would if the shuttle system weren't used, the OIIR report said.
HOWEVER, the report added, "There may be some personal and administrative inconvenience associated with the proposed car-pooled arrangement. That inconvenience may or may not outweigh the potential cost savings of the plan."
The OIRP report is the second the office has issued on the shuttle proposal in less than a year. The first report concluded that the system wasn't feasible because faculty commuters to Kansas City taught at irregular hours.
Shankel ordered the second study primarily because of the recent increase in cancer rates.
The Faculty Council will meet this afternoon to discuss proposed changes in aphasia training.
Sabbatical procedure rankles some faculty
A major change, urged in a report by the Faculty Senate Committee on Faculty Rights, Privileges and Responsibilities (FRRP), centers on equaling the number of students to be given various professional schools and departments at the University of Kansas.
The report also recommends that less emphasis is placed on research in deciding what to do with the data.
"SABBATICAL are not comparable to general research awards," the FRPR report says. "An attempt to fit all faculty into such a mold leads to irritation, resentment and frustration among colleagues."
The FRPR report says that the research-based approach to granting sabbaticals has discouraged faculty members turned down and has kept them from reappeying later.
The University Committee on Sabbabicals, which determines who gets sabbabical awards, "seems to cause more than the same to some of the faculty," the report says.
OF THE 38 faculty members who sabbatical applications were rejected last year, the report says, less than half chose to reapply this year.
FRPR criticizes the sabbatical com-
Balfour successor expected soon
A decision on whom to hire as a new vice chancellor for student affairs might be made this week, according to Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor.
Shankel said recently a final report of the search committee screening applicants for the position was completed last month and given to him and Chancellor Archie Dykes.
The report recommended three candidates to fill the office left vacant when William Balfour, professor of physiology and cell biology, resigned last May after nine years as vice chancellor for student affairs to return to full-time teaching.

Since completion of the search committee's report, Shankel said, he has had several telephone conversations with the agency about his decision on whom to hire to be made soon.
Although the Kansas Board of Regents must be notified when a replacement is hired, final approval of the new administrator will be by Dykes and Shankel.
Shankel said the committee screened nearly 120 applicants before selecting the three final candidates, but said he couldn't disclose the names of the three now.

Dykes praises budget proposal
Chancellor Archie Dykes told members of SenEx daytime that Gov. Robert Bennett's budget recommendations gave the Senate Kansas a chance for "another good year."
Dykes and Del Shakel, executive vice chancellor, spoke briefly to the committee about the recent budget recommendations they meant to the future of the University.
Pleased with the recommendations,

The only area that he is disaffected with, Shankel said, is that only part of the $1.1 million in tuition fees brought in from federal funds to schools released by the Kansas Board of Regents.

"We wonder if the process needs to be made so cumbersome—and, in the view of some faculty who have received sabbaticals, not worthwhile."
THE REPORT says current sabbatical policies discriminate against professional schools and departments that have high numbers of assistant instructors. The University's ceiling on the number of sabbatical awards is based on the number of student credit hours taught by a school or institution, but not on the hours taught by AIs.
FPRP proposes the elimination of the bifurcation that was taught by Als out of the babacal formula method.
