SenEx protests Bennett trade off
By SHERI BALDWIN
Staff Writer
SenEx sent a letter Nov. 14 to Gov. Robert F. Bennett protesting his suggestion that a trade-off be made between a 10 per cent increase in faculty faculty and 72 additional faculty positions.
Gerhard Zather, chairman of SenEx, said yesterday that the letter was prompted by statements made on Oct. 1, while Bennett was speaking at the University of Kansas.
Zuther said SenEx was concerned about Bennett keeping a commitment to support faculty merit salary increases this year, the last year of a three-year merit salary commitment, initiated by the Board of Regents to support KU's requests.
Bennett said that he would support a 10 per cent faculty pay increase for fiscal year 1977, but that he was unsure whether the number of faculty members would increase in relation to enrollment. He suggested that there was a possibility of trade-off between a faculty pay increase and the number of faculty positions.
Zuther said SenEx sent the letter because the members thought that KU was entitled to receive both merit salary increases for staff and faculty, and equally salary tied positions, without a trade-off.
Bennett said he had supported the salary increases for the last two fiscal years as president of the Kansas Senate and as governor. He wouldn't commit himself on a 15 per cent increase in the University's overhead budget for fiscal year 1977.
Zuther said the letter stressed that budget requests were always based on previous enrollment figures and not on projected enrollment figures.
"We are registering a serious concern about this conservatism." Zuther said.
BUK is included in the Association of American Graduate Schools, and ranks low in faculty compensation when compared to other schools in the association, Zuther said.
Tasheff said that the state was relatively responsible in interpreting the role of higher education in the past, and that SenEx hoped the trend would continue.
Tedde Taseff, SenEx member, said that inflation had weakened the functional effect of the past 10 per cent merit salary increases.
"We're trying to catch up with our peer institutions as much as we can," she said.
In other action at its Friday meeting, SenExit a proposed system for a more formalized faculty evaluation to Planning and Resources Committee, and Faculty and Resource Responsibilities Committee to decide whether another action would be necessary.
Zuther said the evaluation procedure would require an annual written evaluation of every faculty member similar to methods now used to determine promotions and
As the evaluation procedure now states, faculty would be required to furnish materials requested in an evaluation, would normally be made available, could comment on the report, Zuther said.
He said that once the evaluation procedure was finally established, it would have to be approved by each department and school at the University.
'A fair amount of faculty evaluation is going on in various departments and schools.'
The proposed faculty evaluation would once the procedures now in use and would improve staff performance.
SenEx discussed a proposal from the Committee on Financial Aid to Students. The committee submitted a grievance procedure for termination of scholarships and financial aid in the Office of Student Financial Aid.
The proposal gave SenEx three choices to consider: the SenEx recommend some
other body to hear all financial aid grievances, that the Committee on Financial Aid hear only those termination recommendations for athletic scholarships and pass recommended terminations for all other types of financial aid to another body or that the committee become a grievance board for all financial aid grievances.
Tasheef said that SenEx planned to meet with members of the Committee on Financial Aid next Friday, so that specific aspects of the proposal could be discussed.
SenEx also sent a statement on the goals and objectives of budgeting and planning for fiscal year 1977 through fiscal year 1979 to Planning and Resources Committee.
Tasheff said SenEx had sent the committee the statement because SenEx would like the committee to have a larger part in the formulation of the University's goals and objectives in the future.

City says tax funds were properly spent
Charges that the city has failed to account for the Lawrence half-per cent sales tax will be passed on to the state.
The accusations were made by the United Public Employee Associations (UPEA) of Lawrence Thursday at a special meeting. The organization also called for a committee to investigate UPEA members and two uninvolved citizens to investigate the charges.
Ethan Smith, city treasurer, said he didn't know where the UPEA got its information. He said that no one had talked to him about the downdown and accounting of the sales tax.
The city has paid out more money to improve the fire and police departments there.
According to Smith the city collected $608,145.59 in sales tax and paid out $1,727,498.94 in improvements in 1972; $611,841.48 compared to $1,755,911.60 compared in 1973; and $787,423.02 compared to $1,984,205.63 paid out in 1974.
There's no way to tell exactly what the
money is spent for, he said, but it has all been spent on the proper departments.
The UPEA has demanded a more careful breakdown of the taxes tax to determine
One thing the city employees don't seem to realize, Smith said, is that the city can use the excess taxes tax money to lower property taxes. However, it never has, he said.
According to the sales tax ordinance, which was initiated in 1971 after a city referendum, "any revenue in excess of the amount which can be legally used must reduce property taxes within the corporate limits of the City of Lawrence, Kansas."
Smith said that as far as he knew, the employees were unfamiliar with the ordinance. They have never discussed it with him, he said.
"The accusation lessens the validity of their other arguments," he said. "They've not been accused."
Museum previewed, to open Tuesday
The UPEA is demanding recognition by the Lawrence City Commission.
Lawrence residents got a preview of the Elizabeth Watkins Community Museum visitor center.
Although the museum won't officially open until 10 a.m. Tuesday, the public was invited to preview the first display in the gallery hall at city hall at 11th and Massachusetts streets.
The exhibit, titled "American Agriculture: A Continuing Revolution 1776-1976," follows the history of the development of American agriculture.
City Manager Buford Watson said the city had always accounted for the sales tax. The employees have raised the issue before now, and nothing has ever been found wrong.
Arthur Townsend, museum director, said the exhibition was a collection of panels from the Smithsonian Institution that displayed a written and pictorial history of agriculture.
The panels were developed as part of a bicentennial exhibit by the Smithsonian, he said. They raise questions and discuss the impact of such things as fertilizers, breeding stock, and increased utilization of farm equipment over the past 200 years. Townsend said.
The farm equipment was donated for the display from various sources, Townsend县的一个博物馆。The Museum, the Agricultural Hall of Fame in Bonner Springs, the Deems Farm Equipment.
Also included in the agriculture display are early farm implements, ranging from an 1880 one corn grader to a late 19th-century planter. These items were seen until the end of November, he said.
Watson said he didn't object to the UPEA's request for a committee investigation of management but he didn't think the request was justified.
Watson suggested that if the investigation were made, the UPEA should get someone from its own lab to do it.
Other rooms of the museum were also open for the preview. The museum houses a room, with photographs of such famous Kansas sports figures as Dr. James Naismith.
