You've no doubt noticed that the Boulevard is busier this month. The Alumni Association Board of Directors in the spring decided that an expanded magazine calendar could serve members better than the annual color calendar, which was prepared long before details about events were available. Members will no longer receive an annual calendar, but we hope the information and photos in each issue will direct you to your favorite campus events.

The sticks and Stone Age bones are breaking and crumbling under hot stor- age in Spooner Hall, built in 1894. But the ancient treasures will get a breath of fresh air soon: The National Endowment for the Humanities has provided $320,000 that with matching funds from the University will pay for central air conditioning and humidifiers. Alfred Johnson, museum director, hopes to feel a breeze by early next summer. The collection is used to roughing it. From KU's early days until the 1970s, the African carvings, Indian clothing and many other items were stored in steam tunnels under Strong Hall, under the stage in Hoch Auditorium and finally in the barracks behind Blake Hall. The assemblage was moved to its Spooner home in 1979. The museum formally opened in 1984 and now houses more than 500,000 objects. "Because these collections have been moved all over campus for years and years, it's hard to say where the damage comes from," Johnson says, "but ultimately the most important thing in the maintenance of collections is proper environmental levels." Meanwhile, Johnson's keeping his cool.

For this engineer, economy is Job 1

Tony Bell, e'91, has set wheels in motion for efficient automo- biles of the future. During his senior year, Bell designed and built Solo, a missile-shaped car that gets 1,000 miles per gallon. In July he took his invention for a ride in a Sacramento, Calif., prototype competition sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers. Contestants cruised around a 1.7-mile track three times; first prize went to the vehicle with the best gas mileage. Bell's car didn't approach the winner, which captured a new U.S. record with 3,313 miles per gallon. But Cable News Network appreciated Bell's drive and interviewed him as the only non-Californian in the running. "My main goal," Bell admits, "was to complete the course. Most of the first-year vehicles don't finish." Bell spent $850 to build his three-wheeler; other prototypes in the race guzzled as much as $12,000. He can rev the streamlined baby up to 55 miles per hour, and it can coast a mile with the engine off. Bell left the car at KU for future students. Although the car isn't practical for everyday traffic, Bell says, designing it taught him principles of fuel-efficiency and aerodynamics. He is back in California searching for a job in the prototype industry. His senior project no doubt will fuel ideas down the road.

He remains true to his rules. But to follow them he must be careful. He scripts most of his public appearances, preferring the prepared statement to the press conference. He avoids center stage. He reveals little about his personal life or his family—his wife, Gretchen, and their three children, Christopher, Mary Frances, and Kathryn.

That is why, at times, this is a frustrating position. No one person ever speaks for all of the University constituents. KANSAS ALUMNI So nobody really runs it. Nobody can really. BUDIG: It is operated through shared governance. The chancellor has an obligation to express values and to point out directions. Realization of those ends comes through a collegial process. This is not like running General Motors Corporation. One cannot be effective without an effective process of consulta- tion. A budget document from KU is a collegial document. It was produced in consultation with representative faculty, staff and students. But difficult decisions are made in this office every day. Let me give you an example-.

On the other hand, a chancellor has an inescapable obligation to encourage growth and development in the administrative staff. One should be judged by the performance of his or her administrative colleagues. These colleagues must be given a chance to move on and contribute even more to the profession. That is what 1 have done over the past 18 years as a university president. Eleven of my colleagues went on to be university presidents. KANSAS ALUMNI. What do you think they learned from you? BUDIG: Patience, due process, importance of consultation, collegiality and willingness to accept responsibility in the final analysis.

Jay Rockefeller, who was governor of West Virginia during my presidency there; and Jordan Haines, former Regent and chair of Campaign Kansas. KANSAS ALUMNI: What have you learned from Jordan Haines?

Does it hurt you that some of the organiza- tions on campus don't recognize the improvement that has occurred? BUDIG: Applause is not part of the job.
