Construction at the University of Kansas is on schedule except for a delay in the Snow Hall renovation, KU officials said last week.
Work on the Robert J. Dole Human Development Center, the new science and technology library, and the parking garage north of Allen Field House are going as planned, said Doug Riat, assistant director of facilities planning. But Riat said the first phase of the Snow Hall renovations had taken longer than expected.

"There are some problems, but we hope that there will be classes there this spring." Riat said.
The Snow renovation fell behind schedule when the construction company failed to meet an Aug. 18 phase-one contract date.
Phase one involved the removal of asbestos, demolition of the interior and complete revamping of the north wing. The Topea contractor, Kietzmann Co., was given an extension to mid-December.
mid-December. Because of the extension, bids for the second phase of the renovation were postponed, Riat said.
R. D. Andersen, the Topeka contractor for the construction of the science library, also experienced delays when a steam tunnel collapsed Sept. 16.
However, the library will be ready before the Oct. 7 deadline, said Stan Claassen, project manager for the contractor.

Exterior walls are being finished with stonework, and interior partitions are being installed, he said.
Riat also said that the parking garage north of the field house should be ready for the fall semester. Precast concrete walls are being made and will be erected today, he said.

No argument here KU debaters strong in national contests
8 victories scored during the break

The high point came at the Fullerton tournament, where the team of Charles Pickens, Winfield senior, and Charles Krauss, Wichita junior, won first place. Pickens also received an award as the top-rated individual debater in the tournament.

The KU squad has been ranked as high as third in the nation this school year and was ranked fifth in the most recent poll of the American Forensics Association. The association tabulates and ranks all debate squads in national debate tournament competition. It placed KU ahead of such traditional powers as Dartmouth, Harvard, Georgetown

Student debaters receive one hour of college credit for their work, which sometimes amounts to 20 or more hours a week of preparation.
"We are always happy when we are ranked in the top ten," said Robert Rowland, KU director of forensics. "I was especially pleased that when we dropped from third to fifth, we immediately won one tournament and placed third, fourth and fifth at others."

Graduates of the School of Business have moderate-to-high levels of satisfaction in relation to pay and benefits, according to a professor's study.
The study, conducted by Ronald A. Ash, associate professor of business, and George Dreher, associate professor of management at Indiana University, indicated that KU's MBA graduates from 1976-78 earned a median salary of $60,000 and those with a bachelor's degree earned a median salary of $42,000.
Ash conducted pay satisfaction research of graduates of the school's master's and bachelor's degree programs. Information was collected during summer 1988 with 217 graduates, Ash said.
$35,000.
However, Ash said there was a bias to the salary figures.
Ash said it was interesting that graduates of the MBA program during 1981-83 had the same median salary. $42,000, as those with a bachelor's degree in the first group. Graduates with a bachelor's degree from 1981-83 had a median salary of $33,000.
to the salary figure.
"People who are not as successful would not respond to the survey," he said.
Graduates with a bachelor's degree from 1976-1978 ranked their satisfaction with salary at 3.2 and benefits at 3.6.
In addition, the study asked graduates to rank their satisfaction with salary and benefits. On a scale of 1 to 5, MBA graduates from 1976-1978 ranked their satisfaction with salary at 3.7 and benefits at 3.8.

MBA graduates from 1981-1983 ranked salary satisfaction at 3.4 and benefit satisfaction at 3.8. Graduates with bachelor's degrees from the same period ranked salary satisfac

study. However, Ash said that most differences in salary were not statistically reliable in studies that had been done.
He said the factor that best determined equality of pay was the number of years of continuous service at a given job. Ash said it was possible that married women took time off to raise children, interrupting years of service.
Ash said the study supported the notion that earning an MBA would enable a graduate to earn more money.
Ash's report was presented Jan. 19 at a Board of Regents meeting as part of an evaluation of the business administration programs of the Regents schools, said John Tollefson, dean of business.
Tollefson said the program had received a good response from the Regents. The program was evaluated on its faculty strength and its curriculum. The evaluation was initiated two years ago and KU filed its first report in spring 1988.
first report in spring.
He said the research conducted by Ash was a positive report about the success of students of the program. Tolleffon said that while the business school was part of KU and had responsibilities to the University, it was also a professional school concerned about the success of its students.
Tolleson said that the report did not indicate that there were any weaknesses in the business program, but that further analysis would be conducted in future reports to the Regents.
