2 tons of N.Y. Times sold
An estimated two tons of vintage New York Times bound volumes are being sold by the serials department of Watson library to the highest bidder—for $200.
A complete collection of the Times from 1913 to 1953 will probably be sold to the single blinder who replied to an ad placed in a magazine. The Times, Kent Miller, serials librarian, said swordwriter
An obscure New Hampshire company offered to pay $200, which Miller called a "very good price," for the bound Times. He said he didn't know what kind of company it was.
Miller said that the library had recently obtained the only editions of the Times it was missing on microfilm, and that the times it were, therefore, unneeded duplicates.
All material in the bound volumes is on microfilm, he said.
One of two existing copies of the Chicago Tribune from 1893 to 1947 will replace the Times on shelves in the microforms reading room and the stack areas.
Miller said Watson's serial department got the Tibanues from the State Historical Society in Topeka about ten years ago, when he burned the volumes were going to be destroyed.
The only other set in existence is in the Cochise County Historical Museum near Chaco.
Watson doesn't have any Tribunes on microfilm.
The Tribunes are currently kept in the east basement of Watson, an area that is closed to students. The only way to bring the collection into the main use section of Watson, Miller said, was to get rid of the Times.
He said a microfilm set of those Tribunes would cost $20,000.
Miller said it was impossible to retain the miller for sentimental reasons because of his family's history.
"They're an albatross around our neck," he said. "There were people in the library who thought we were doing a disservice to ouraries by even offering to give them away."
Miller said the old Times were printed on good paper, but that the newspapers were falling out of their bindings and were difficult to mount for photocopying.
Libraries haven't bound newspapers since the advent of microfilm, he said.
"We're a library, not a museum," he said.
"We're a library, not a museum," he said. Miller said the copies of the Tribune were a special exception because there was only one other original collection.
New complaint process proposed
The Office of Affirmative Action has proposed a new grievance procedure to Delaware Commission of Equal Employment Opportunity.
Polly Pettit, mediation facilitator, said yesterday the proposal included establishing an impartial hearing board that would make recommendations to the administration regarding action to be taken.
She said the purpose of changing the tension to complaints filed with the officer.
Title IX is federal legislation under the jurisdiction of the department of Health Education and Welfare that provides for nondiscriminatory employment practices.
"The one we have now has not satisfied the need for a prompt and equitable resolution (of complaints), and that is called for in TITLE X," she said.
Complaints filed with affirmative action are now handled according to policy set forth in the University's Code that any complaints, after initially contacting affirmative action, will be assigned an advisor selected from a pool of student, faculty and staff volunteers, who
If the actions or recommendations on the mediation board are unsatisfactory, the person is then told which University bodies may file formal charges with.
The hearing division of the University Judiciary or the Faculty Senate Committee
If the two parties involved can't resolve the complaint, the adviser can then proceed to call for a mediation board to be formed. The University Human Relations Committee, in conjunction with affirmative members, appoints a three-member mediation board.
Unlikely source donates to KU
A man who never went to college has left $63,000 to the University of Kansas.
The will of Irvin R. Rickels of Salma left one-third of his estate to KU, Frank Aydeleto, director of public relations for the Kansas University Endowment Association, said yesterday. Rickels died in 1974 at age 71.
Ricklefs' will stipulated that the money be used only for junior and seniors majoring in medical science. Similar bequests were made to Bethesda College, University, and Bethany College, Lindsburg.
on Tenture and Related Problems will then hear the charges.
Part of the trouble of the present method of filing a complaint, Pettit said, is that people will "just give up" rather than wait out the process.
"I think that there will be an increase in the number of complainants that complete this procedure," Pettit said of the proposal. Director Bonnie Ritter Patton said that she thought the main consideration of formulating a different policy for handling charges was the elimination of some of the uncertainty involved.
Pettit said there weren't any means for redress now, there weren't any timetables offered for prompt resolution of problems, and there weren't any specific outlines to designate the responsibility of those in authority.
Cyclists under distinct category
A classified system for Kansas driver's licenses, which includes a major change in the licensing of motorcycle operators, was ushered in with the new year.
Under the new classified system, Kansans will apply for Class A, B, C or D licenses. In previous years, drivers were issued licenses under the categories of commercial chauffeur, regular chauffer and operator, Herman Wulfhut, license examiner of the Lawrence Division of Vehicles station, said yesterday.
Motorcycle operators will be placed in a separate category from those seeking an entry-level job.
Under the new law, a person operating a motorcycle must pay an additional fee of $2 and have a Class D designation added to his license.
Other classifications under the new
system, passed by the 1976 Kansas
Agricultural University.
Those who renew their licenses and later decide to operate a motorcycle must get a D license classification and take a driving test, he said.
Class A- This classification replaces the commercial chauffeur's license. Under this designation, one may operate truck, tractor and semiratler combinations, buses, trucks, passenger cars and other lawful vehicle combinations.
Class B-This replaces the regular chauffeur's license. Vehicles under this designation are trucks, buses, passenger cars and other lawful combinations.
Class C- This classification replaces the operator's license.
