Message lists civil service jobs
By BILL POLLARD
Staff Writer
When money is tight and Dai-a Prayer can't put food on the table, Dai-a Job might be a problem.
Dial-in a job, a tape-recorded message on the receiving end of 844-1623, lists the current classified civil service jobs open on their website. The campus and where to apply for them.
The phone service is the result of a program started earlier this month by the team.
Margaret Gadd, manager of the office, said a list of job openings would be available for her.
Gadd said Dial-a-boy was an improvement over the old method of advertising classified positions free in the publication distribution or publication distributed to campus persisten!
ONE PROBLEM with advertising in the Oread, she said, was that it took up to two weeks to fill a position. The Oread is printed on the campus office door and campus employees and of campus readers.
It takes only about 48 hours to fill a position through Dial-a-Dob, she said.
To be hired for a classified civil service job, a person must pass a test administered by the Kansas Division of Personnel before or just after employment.
GADD SAID that because many departments needed replacements immediately they preferred to hire people who were listed on the civil service roster.
Periodically the state personnel division in Topeka holds examinations for classified jobs. The people who hold the top five scores on the job interview are sent to state agencies when occurrences occur.
Gadd said people in campus departments often did not know about a job until after it was filled. People outside KU also did not find out about the opening until too late unless they were one of those on the roster, she said.
Gadd said she thought most departments and job applicants liked to use Dial-a-job a system.
Gadd said that only classified civil service jobs were advertised by Dial-a-Job. Student hourly jobs still are listed on a bulletin board outside the student financial aid office, 26 Strong Hall, and unclassified jobs—those not requiring a civil service test—are still filed by direct application to the departments with openings.
Gadd said that 30 openings had been advertised by Diah-A job since it started but that she did not know how many positions had been filled.
City crime sheet includes drug case, thefts
$400 check missing
When Mike Pettit, 323-FF Bristol Terrace,
returned from the KU-Nebulosa game in
Lincoln Wednesday night, he discovered
that a $400 personal check had been stolen
from the top of a row of mailboxes where he
had placed it to be mailed.
Pettit said he had written "for deposit only" on the check and addressed the enclosure.
When he returned from the game about 1 a.m. Thursday, he said, he noticed the envelope lying on the floor below the desk. "It's like a black check was missile he reported it to the police."
Corp. Richard Bryan of the Lawrence Police Department said there had been several similar thefts of checks in the last week.
Bryan called the thefts coincidental and said it was unusual to have several in one room.
He said there was no evidence to indicate that the thefts were connected.
4 arraigned in case
Four men arrested and charged with the sale of marijuana, a felony in Kansas, in Lecompte Friday night were arraigned yesterday in Douglas County District Court. The police were set for February 15 for the men, each of whom was released on $5,000 bond.
Those arrested were Ernest Smith, 46; Jeremy Timothy Manny, 23; and Logie Larkin, all of whom were arrested.
The arrests were made about 8 p.m. at Smith's home by authorities from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation's narcotics office and the Lawrence Police Department.
One student said the bill might be a help to students in general medicine programs but not a help to patients with cancer.
From page one
"I WOULDN'T take the scholarship."
Diana Spade, third year student, said. "I'm interested in internal medicine and the small towns have no need for specialists."
The Association of University Residence Halls is sponsoring the contest as part of a conservation effort, according to Jesse Paul, AURH president.
"I think it's high," she said. "I know students who could have gone to private schools for the same cost but came here because it was less," she said.
Spade said the increase in tuition made KU's tuition one of the highest for a public institution.
Police said Adolfio described the man only as a white male of average size.
But David Waxman, the Med Center's executive vice chancellor, favors the bill, calling it one that "addresses the total health care problem we have in Kansas."
Energy savers to be rewarded steak dinners
Waxman also said the proposed tuition was well within the range of tuition rates of other colleges.
Steak dinners and lower energy costs will be the rewards for students who live in University of Kansas residence halls in Springfield, Missouri, where they reduced 5 percent during the next month.
Reaction . . .
"Some tautties are higher, others lower." Waxman said. "I don't want it so high that it would keep students from getting an education."
Andre Adolfo, an employee of the store, said the man entered the store with his hands concealed in his pockets and ordered Adolfo to open the safe.

Payment for elevator repair disputed
By PAM MANSON
Staff Writer
A dispute over whether the University of Kansas should pay for the repair of an elevator broken last semester in the new Visual Arts building still is unresolved.
The mechanism that opens and closes the elevator's doors was broken in October. U.S. Elevator of Kansas City, Mo., which had installed the elevator, repaired the damage. Although the elevator had a one-year warranty, the company paid for $1,183.40 to the Visual Arts department.
The elevator is the only one in the building.
repairs were made that the doors had been broken and in damage and that the repairs were not covered by any insurance.
"We haven't received a flat denial to pay the bill from KU," she said. "I imagine there will be more discussion before the matter is settled."
THE COMPANY SAID shortly after the
"We always stand behind out warranty except in cases of vandalism," she said. Even if someone had gotten stuck, there were no witnesses. Prying open doors is considered vandalism.
According to a spokeswoman for U.S. Elavator, a field supervisor who examined the elevator concluded that the damage had been caused by an accident. The repair work took five days, she said.
KU was not responsible for paying the bill, according to Peter Thompson, associate director of the U.S. Energy Ministry.
"My guess is that someone got stuck in the elevator and had to pry his way out," he said. "The status quo seems to be that something always goes wrong with new elevators. I don't think the damage was done by vandal."
Thompson said he had turned the bill over to the Office of Facilities Planning.
James Canole, assistant director of Facilities Planning, said the bill had not
been paid vet.
