Committee plans debate between Tasheff.Shapiro
A debate between student body presidential candidates will be jointly sponsored Feb. 10 by the Student Senate Elections and Communications committees, Kevin Flynn, communications committee chairman, said yesterday.
Both the Big 8 Room and the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union will be opened to make one large room for the debate. Flynn from 7:30 p.m. time for the debate is from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
The candidates, Tedde Tasheff, Wichita junior, and Dave Shapiro, Lawrence junior, each submitted lists of 10 persons who were the moderators of the debate. Flvyn said.
Bruce Woner, elections committee
creator, said the states had agreed
to the plan for $25.
The two lists were compared and Tom Curzon, senate executive secretary, was selected to moderate the debate, Flynn said.
Each candidate will have 10-minute opening remarks and the moderator will flip a coin to decide who speaks first. Wonderful questions will be fielded by the moderator and each candidate and his vice presidential running mate will have three minutes to respond to the questions.
These two committees already have the structure to organize a debate, he said. The committees have the resources to handle the arrangements and they can do the advertising to let the student population know that it is going to be conducted. Werner said.
Since a debate between the candidates is inevitable, it made sense that the Elections Committee and the Communications Committee sponsor one. Woner said.
Both candidates will have to answer each question, Woner said, to eliminate part of the problem of loaded questions being presented in the audience to trip up candidates.
The debate will generate interest and publicity for the Senate elections, Woner said, and when interest is up more people will vote. It will also give students a chance to look at the candidates' personalities, he said.
Flynn said the debate would let the candidates challenge each other on cam-paign.

Mismanagement charges outlined by city workers
By MARY ANN DAUGHERTY
Workers' lives and livelihoods are jeopardized by city management including the Lawrence City Commission, Norman Forer, adviser to the Lawrence Sanitation Employees Association, told the commission last night.
At the conclusion of Forer's presentation, Mayor Barkley Clark denied the accusation, saying he resented Forer's role in her "aggritement" on the part of the commission.
Clark's comments were repeatedly interrupted by angry sanitation workers, who lined the walls of the commission meeting room.
FORER CHARGED that harassment and threats against sanitation workers have increased during the past 10 days and that an attempt was made to run down one worker with a bulldozer at the city landfill. He said the driver of the bulldozer appl
Forer said he would meet with Douglas County Attorney David Berkowker today to talk about the charges against him.
City officials are willfully trying to prevent the workers from organizing, he said, which is a violation of the First Amendment right to association.
He charged also that workers were dismissed from their jobs without due process, which is a violation of the Fifth Amendment.
FORER SAID he was representing the workers because a memo from City Hall had instructed that they forbidden the workers from bringing their grievances to the city commission. According to the memo, Forer said, workers may lose their jobs if they obey the order.
"I don't claim to have a monopoly on the truth," he said. "I've come to tell you what I've heard, what people have told me, what I heard, what people have told me. I believe to have a ring of authenticity."
"I don't think anyone here can claim they don't know what's going on. Not here. Not

Pizza gets dough from students
In one week, the six pizza businesses in Lawrence combined use more than 5,400 pounds of dough, 3,400 pounds of cheese and flour to accommodate Lawrence's pizza eaters.
Maybe it's dinner time and no one wants to cook. Or maybe the bars have just closed and everyone has realized that he's famished. For whatever reason, University of Kansas students have helped make pizza-making an institution in Lawrence.
The pizza shops in Lawrence do most of their business between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., and several owners said there was a second crowd between 9 p.m. and midnight.
No matter what form the urge for pizza might take, there is probably a pizza in Lawrence that will satisfy it. The gamut runs from a basic eight-inch cheese pizza with a 10-inch Pizza Pepper and a 18-inch pie, with 15 toppings, costing $12.00 at the Green Pear.
THE GREEN PEPPER's 16-inch pie has everything from pineapple slices to sauerkraut and Debbie Lessman, the Green Pepper, said they haven't sold any of them yet.
The managers and owners of Lawrence's pizza shop offered different reasons for the change.
Casey Johnson, manager of Shakespeare's pizza, said pizza was popular "because you can split it up and everyone gets some."
"It's a recreational food, Dennis Hirsch," manager of Ken's Pizza Parlor, said. People don't usually use pizza for a complete meal. They come in after meetings or football games to talk and drink some beer."
Only Henderson differed from the other owners and managers, saying the company was doing well.
Most owners interviewed said business remained about the same, even though the number of pizza shops had doubled to six over the last two years.
Four of the owners said that fall semester was the time of the greatest pizza consumption, and the other two said sales were about the same during both semesters.
*students don't do as much studying in the fall.* Henderson said.
The most popular toppings for pizza, the pizza shop owners agreed, are sausage, cheese and ham.
Gerald Durham, owner of the Campus
ideaseway, said it is a lot of food for not
much money.
Mike Miller, assistant manager of the Green Pepper, said that the crowds from
Johnson said that being a pizza lover can have its drawbacks. He said he remembered a night when he got sick from overexposure to the combination pizza: pineapple and olive.
Cross said that up to two slices from a 14-inch pie should be about the limit for a person on a diet, because of the calories pizza contained.
"But," Cross said, "I'm not saying that it's something you should eat all the time."
the football games are part of the reason for the increase in the niga business.
Both Lessman and Henderson said that about 25 per cent of the pizzas they sold were delivered. Durham and Kevin Brady, manager of the Pizza Hut, said that deliveries accounted for less than 20 per cent of their total sales. Johnson said that Tespease's delivered about 40 per cent of the pizzas because they have no dining room.
Jim Thompson, manager of the Straw Hat Paladin Palace, said they have no delivery service.
The pizza shop owners said deliveries increased on weekends and during final week.
Miller said that a true connoisseur of pizzas looks for a pizza that is even browened, with equal amounts of topping for each type. Because most of the pizza is also important, he said.
Marie Cross, associate professor of human development, said pizza is a nutritionally sound meal because it contains all the ingredients needed for a dough, meat in the toppings, milk in the
cheese and vegetables in the sauce and toppings.
Credit practices get low ratings
BY KELLY SCOTT
Staff Writer
In recent years, credit bureaus have come under fire for preventing women from establishing credit ratings in their own names.
In a study released in October 1975, the Kansas Advisory Committee of the United States Commission on Civil Rights announced that it would give equal consideration for credit as men do.
Anyone can be denied credit by a merchant, but women have been most susceptible to another factor that hinders granting of credit: no credit ratings at all.
A bill before the Kansas legislature would establish similar state guidelines for credit, Rep. Mike Glover, D-Lawrence, said Monday.
IN ADDITION, the state law could save up to $200 in court costs and attorney's fees for women who take their complaints to court.
Glover is a member of the Commercial and Financial Institutions Committee, which drew up the bill and will sponsor it collectively.
A woman may be eligible for credit, but whether she is married, single, or divorced of both parents will determine her eligibility.
THE STUDY was made to determine how much difficulty Kansas women have in getting credit. Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, signed into law October 28, 1974, women are guaranteed equal conditional as men when they are creditworthy.
Glover said that even though the federal law had been in effect for over a year, it still has not been amended.
Married women are often either issued cards under their husband's name, or given a card in their name that accrues to an account. The Kansas Advisory Committee wrote.
"It it won't make creditors take undue risks," he said. "It would just require that they take the same risks with women as men."
BOTH THE FEDERAL LAW and the pending Kansas Equal Credit Opportunity Act say that credit bureau must offer that option. It also prohibits discrimination in the awarding of credit on the basis of sex, age, or marital status.
cards in their own names if they're married.
When that happens, who were formerly considered excellent credit risks because of their husbands and who had the responsibility for paying incoming bills for the family, could be denied credit at a store because they didn't have a credit history at all.
Problems a woman can have when one credit file is maintained for a couple often aren't evident until couples separate or divorce. Glover said.
One way to remedy this situation, Glover said, is to allow husbands and wives to request that separate files be kept with their local credit bureau.
"This woman has borne the financial responsibility for the two of them, yet she can be a partner to you."
"The classic example," Glover said, "is the wife who puts her husbands through law or med school, pays the bills, runs the bank, and then has her husband tell her goodbye.
UNDER THE NEW LAW, Glover said.
the woman would get a separate file, and
make for making those payments with her own
Wesley FitzGerald, president of the Credit Bureau of Lawrence, said he favored allowing people to choose whether it was wrong to automatically divide them.
"It wouldn't be fair to make them keep separate files," he said. "Some people don't
radicalized you can't even think straight," he said.
FitzGerald said that some women have called him requesting that they have their own credit file, although the vast majority of files are still merged.
FitzGerald said the Lawrence credit bureau has been separating files upon request, but that the Greater Kansas City Credit office, which covers suburban Kansas City, Mo., and parts of Johnson County, people to voluntarily compare their files.
GLOVER SAID he had few complaints from constituents about credit service in

Clark said, however, that the commission wanted to take action against those who might be harassing workers but that it would require evidence and evidence to support Forer's allegations.
"In Lawrence, there's a certain willingness to be progressive," Glover said. "But in Kansas City, they'll tell you to go fly a kite."
"the bill is not a mandate to keep a
person in prison without opening the
possibility if one person wants it."
"You can't hide behind union affiliation if you're not doing your jobs." Clark said.
Glover said one goal of having a Kansas law that paralleled the federal law was to set up an enforcement procedure in Kansas that was faster and cheaper than the federal

Arguing that workers' grievances couldn't be debated at a commission meeting, Clark suggested "Force or resistance" to the draft of the bill up a draw of particulars. He said the bill should document the charges and include the names, places, dates and witnesses of the participants.
THE COMMISSIONERS agreed to discuss the evidence at a public meeting at 9 a.m. Saturday in the commission meeting room.
Forer said the workers may take the matter directly to federal court. Following the meeting, he said he would decide what to do within the next two days.
Commissioner Fred Pence said the workers should make reports that could be processed through the city's grievance procedure. His statement drew shouts from the audience that grievances would never reach the commissioners and that Watson had denied interviews with disgruntled employees.
FORER REPEATEDLY asked that he or worker representatives be allowed to participate in the meeting. Clark rejected the idea, saying the commission wouldn't enter into collective bargaining with the workers.
Watson vigorously denied the charge.

10% faculty pay hike too high, McGill saves
By SHERI BALDWIN
House Speaker Dwayne S. McGill, R-Winfield, reinforced his move to cut faculty merit salary increases today by charging that the University of Kansas still could retain top-notch faculty members if salaries were adenately dispersed.
“It’s erroneous and wrong to pass the back to the legislature,” McCill said. “We don’t determine salaries. The fault lies with not creating a larger system of awarding merit salaries.”
McGill said, "Dollars alone are no criterion for top-notch faculty or the retention of a top-quality teaching staff in any institution."
McGill went before the House Ways and Means Committee Monday to urge a 5 per cent increase in the number of staff of a 10 per cent hike. Gov. Robert F. Bennett has recommended the 10 per cent increase as the third and final installment of his new Regents plan for upgrading faculty salaries.
After fighting for a similar 10 per cent increase in last year's legislature, McGill said he informed Bennett, Chancellor Archie R. Dykes and Board of Regents members that the 10 per cent increase would be impossible to pass this year.
McGill said he was firmly convinced that Kansans don't support the salary increase because many members of the House had polled their constituents and found that a ratio of more than 2-1 would rather see it cut to 5 per cent.
The ratio was even more firmly against the increase in his own district, he said.
However, you can't even do an adequate job of intermingling the members of the Houssons.
McGill admitted that the questionnaires only had a question of "Do you favor faculty salary increase for institutes of higher education?" No further explanation was given regarding why the increase had been requested, he said.
"I don't have any question that any time you start running government by poll you're in awful bad shape. I wish I'd been able to provide information of that kind."
"I think I adequately reflect their sentiments," he said.
MGill said that he had polled members of the House in November and had received
MGill said he had seen no indication of records whereby KU is losing top-notch faculty because they can't be paid enough or because pay isn't enough to draw them
Dykes said, "I've spent considerable time with Rep. McGill to persuade him of the importance of our needs. I have another in a few days to talk with him mala!"
Much of Dykes's time in Topeka has been much recent contacting legislators, he says.
"Most are taking a position of wait and see at this time," he said. "A number of legislators have spoken out. It's very likely the Senate will approve the increase."
It's mine
