Forum quest
Following one-hour drill on controversial issues at yesterday, Fancon In Forum in Green Hall, Robert F. Bennett talked about
lighter matters with law students and Barkley Clark, professor of law.
New appeal method to be tried
items from grades, finals and parking tickets to financial exigency and a University Senate code amendment were presented at yesterday's University Council meeting.
Organization and Administration Committee reported that Parking and Traffic Court had requested a procedure change to eliminate the prosecution's side of court
Robert Casad, SenEx member and professor of law, said, the committee recommended that the procedure be used on an experimental basis.
Casad said the new procedure had been requested by Hank Sunday, chief justice of the court, because court cases are running a semester behind.
Less than five per cent of tickets are appaled, Casad said. However, there were about 22,000 issued in October and November alone, he said.
Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor,
said he initiated a review of grade and finals
policies through the Office of Academic
Affairs.
Suggestions made by the Academic Procedures and Policies Committee (A&P) included changing grade reports to include the class average, the number of students
enrolled in the course and the number who started the course.
A code amendment to make the council chairman a non-voting, ex-officio member of SenEx was passed after discussion to determine the positions or keep the status uno.
The council chairman usually attends SenEx meetings, but has been excluded from closed sessions because of "observer" status.
Gerhard Zuther, chairman of SenEx,
argued for the status quo. He said the
council chairman might have difficulty with
the decision to appoint a member who
might possibly sway opinion.
Frances Ingemann, University Council chairman, withheld comment during the discussion, but added there were many times during SenEx meetings when she had pertinent information she couldn't add because she was an observer.
A motion to combine the SenEx and council responsibilities was turned down because of the excess work load involved for one individual.
Joel Gold, exSenE member and head of a financial exigency policy committee, said the committee met Feb. 9 with ad-hoc comments that discuss crucial issues being compromised.
Gold said reasonable compromises could be reached on five points, but the sixth was still an issue of whether the University could expand in selected departments while dismissing tenured faculty in other departments during a period of financial exigency.
Shankel told the administration would like to add staff members in one area if the addition would help to bring the University out of financial exigency.
Gold said faculty viewpoint would remain a factor of no expansion until the financial crisis.

Gov. Robert F. Bennett spent an hour yesterday afternoon giving brief, blunt answers to questions about a variety of issues.
The Governor, speaking to a group of lunch-munching University of Kansas law students during a Noon Forum session in Green Hall, gave his views on issues including liquor by the drink, abortion and nuclear power.

"I've always supported it. I think we have
no" he said, pointing to the hypocrisy and
the self-centeredness of his own work.
He said, however, he didn't support liquor by the drink as a means of increasing state tax.
"THE ONLY REASON I support it is that I think it's the honest way." Bennett said.
Abortion laws should be left up to the states to decide, he said. His personal feelings on the subject, he said, are that the decision to perform an abortion should be left to the pregnant woman and her physician.

Bennett also said he favored the building of a Wolf Creek nuclear power plant.
Energy production in the United States has reached a crisis situation, Bennett said. Production and exploration for oil has decreased while consumption has increased. As a result, he said, alternative sources of energy must be used.
"NUCLEAR POWER plants can operate safely in this country," Bennett said.
He said he no reason the state couldn't properly control, regulate and control crime.
This doesn't mean the government isn't exploring solar energy and other energy options, Bennett said, but for the time being the generating plant seems like it 14 best answer.
Bennett told the students he was against

He would prefer a proposal that involved less land, Bennett said.
"I'm personally opposed to devoting 30,000 to 60,000 acres to an area for biologists and botanists to study wildflowers and tumbleballs on," he said.

THE GOVERNOR said he was opposed to the right of public emblems to strike.
He said the government was limited by law in its negotiating flexibility.
"The government can't shut down," Bennett said.
Edward and Naomi Reste invite you to stop in soon.
"There's no way you can arm a negotiating token with the kind of power a tactical rifle has."
He said he didn't support total gun control but he thought the penalty for crimes committed with guns should be increased. He said that with a firearm for gun purchases should be established.
During the session, Bennett declared his support for President Ford in the 1980s.
