Watkins evaluated
Accreditation report due this month
By a Kansan reporter
The results of an accreditation evaluation for Watkins Memorial Health Center, which has not been reviewed until January 2015, will be finished by Christmas.
Gayle Elliott, director of accreditation program for the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, said from her office in Skokie, Ill., that the association would complete the evaluation on Dec. 13. She was not able to release any preliminary information about the evaluation, which was done in early August.
James Strobl, director of student health services at Watkins, said that the accreditation would mean
that Watkins was in compliance with standards set by the association.
He said this was the first time since the late 1970s that Watkins tried to get accredited as an ambulatory health center. The accreditation evaluation costs about $5,000.
Washburn faces uphill battle
Strobli said that Watkins hadn't been accredited since 1977, when it had an accreditation from the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Hospitals. He said Watkins left the hospital because the health center had stopped its in-patient services that qualified it as a hospital.

Local legislators and a Board of Regents official are predicting that the death of Washburn University's president will have little effect on that school's efforts to enter the Regents system.
What may have an effect, however, is yesterday's elections of state Senate president and majority bid Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R. Lawrence
Winter, who was chairman of the Senate organizational meeting that chose the president and majority leader yesterday, said both elected leaders were skeptical of bringing Washburn into the Regents system.
Sen. Paul "Bud" Burke, R-Leawood, was chosen President, and Sen. Fred Kerr, R-P颅, was
selected Senate majority leader Winter said they had a lot of say in the Washburn issue because they were at the center of the debate and bad influence on other senators.
"I have felt overwhelming opposition (to Washburn entering the Regents system) from the senators I have talked to." "Winter said, the Chance do not look good in the chamber, but it is not over till it is over."
Washburn's president, John M Duggan, died Wednesday of pancreatic cancer. In his five months as president, he championed Washburn's campaign against Ragent's system. The issue is to be debated in the 1983 legislative session.
ence for Washburn.
"It ites a little bit of a dent in their continuity," Branson said. "They'd be a little more effective if they had not lost their president. But they still have their lobbyist in Topeka and there has been such a drive to get Washburn in that I fully expect them to continue in that effort."
Branson said she doubled Dugan's death would deter Gov. Mike Hayden from proposing that Washburn, the Margin of Excellence and support for community colleges be included in one bill, which she views as holding the Margin hostage to the governor's net issues.
Stanley Z. Kopik, executive director of the Regents, said Duggan's death probably would not affect Washburn's agenda.
"They'll sorely miss Duggan in
that effort as he was doing a good job in meeting the key players in the Washburn debate." Kopik said. "It may slow them down, but it won't alter the outcome, whatever that is, or their desire. Their desire (to enter the Regents system) is still just as strong."
Kopik said it was premature to wash Gauwashin's chances of entering the Regents system. The issue was solved in Regents Dec 15 meeting in Topeka.
"If the Board of Regents comes out strongly opposed to Washburn coming in, that would be a very important statement." Kopik said. "The Regents don't vote (in the Law Department), but they are a leader in that discussion because Washburn would land in their lap of responsibility.

Officials differ on library move October is likely opening date

Library officials hope the new science library will be ready for use by the beginning of the fall semester, but construction and planning officials said that expectation was unlikely to be fulfilled.
Kathleen Neeley, head of science libraries, said she anticipated that construction would be completed by July 31 and that the science library collection would be moved by the end of August.
But Stan Classen, project manager for R.D. Andersen Inc., the said construction, the new library, said construction will not be finished until the end of August.
Douglas Riat, facilities planning assistant director for construction administration, said. "I'd say the first of October would be the building if it were open but if the contractor isn't done until the end of August."
Jim Ranz, dean of libraries, was not concerned about the projections.
"There have been different guesses as to when the building will be completed, but we just speculation now. We will simply move in when the building is done."
Ranz said the science library collection would be moved during the fall semester if necessary, although that would be inconvenient for students. The move will take three or four weeks.
Meetey explained plans for the library to audiences of about 15 people at meetings yesterday and Thursday. Another open informational meeting will be at 1:30 p.m. today in 2049 Malott Hall.
The new science library will house the current science library, which now is in 6040 Malott; the math and computer science library, 209 Strong Hall; some infrequently used government documents in Science; the computer science, math and computer science materials now in Watson Library.
Library users can request science library materials and receive them after a waiting period of about two weeks while the collection is moved to the new building south of Hoch Auditorium. This system will be used whether or not the move is made during the semester.
The new library's catalog will be completely online, rather than on a card catalog system. The four story building will have computer terminals on every floor. Also, library users will be able to access the catalog from their own microcomputers.
The science and math libraries probably will be moved first, Neeley said. Government documents will be moved next year or early 1990.
"We'll be the only library on camp,pus in that condition." Neeley said. "I think we are really lucky."

John P. Kenyon, the first Joyce and Elizabeth Hall distinguished professor at the University of Kansas, delivered his inaugural address yesterday in Adlerson Auditorium at the Kansas Union.
His lecture was titled "1688 Remembered: The Glorious Revolution and the Constitution" About 120 people attended.
"I've been speaking upon this topic incessantly this semester," he said. "But I do want to make it clear that this was a virgin lecture."
Kenyon, professor of history, was named to the Hall chair of British history at KU in 1986 and joined the faculty full time in summer 1987. He is a specialist in 17th-century British history, including the reigns of the Stuart kings, the Cromwell period and the English civil wars.
The Bill of Rights included provisions for such things as free speech, free elections, frequent meetings of parliament and prohibited taxes.
"We're very pleased to have him here at the University," said Del Brinkman, vice chancellor for academic affairs. "It is a great honor. Just recently, he was featured in The New York Times as one of many British professors coming to the United States to teach."
Kenyon said the Glorious Revolution occurred in 1688 and was a result of King James II's efforts to restore Catholicism as the official religion. After he abdicated the throne that same year, a Convention Parliament bill of Rights and offered William II and Mary II joint sovereignty
"I found the whole lecture refreshing," said Daniel Bays, professor of history.
Bicycle and wheelchair collide on campus at night; both drivers treated and released
By a Kansan reporter
A bicycle and an electrically powered wheelchair collided head-on on Friday evening on Sun
day between Indiana and 16th streets.
Barbara Bradford, 47, a KU research assistant who was eastbound in the wheelchair, and Geoffrey Coble, 26, a graduate student who was traveling west on the bicycle, were treated and released
at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, a hospital spokesman said.
Chris Mulvenon, Lawrence police spokesman said Bradford told police she was traveling on the north side of Sunnyside Ave., against the traffic, so that she could see the approaching cars better. Mulvenon the wheelchair did not have a light, and Bradford was wearing dark clothes.
on the north side of the street. He attempted to swerve when he saw Bradford but was too close. Multe was able to stop him, where the accident occurred.
Coble was riding about 20 mph
Mulvenon said that when officers arrived on the scene, the wheelchair was tipped on its back with Bradford still in it. Coble was lying face up about four feet west of the wheelchair.
