Faculty group approves retirement resolutions
By BRIAN SETTLE Staff Writer
Staff Writer
The Faculty Council Thursday approved resolutions opposing a possible financial penalty for retraining instructors and instead called for continuation of health insurance coverage to age 70 and the option of staged partial retirement.
The resolutions, drawn up by the University Senate's Faculty Rights, Privileges and Responsibilities Committee (FRPR), now will be forwarded to the Council of Presidents, which comprises the head officials of the Receivers' schools.
William Westerboke, chairman of SenXen and FaxEx, said the Council of Presidents had requested reaction from University officials, but they have now before the Kansas Board of Regents.
THE REGENTS' plan calls for allocation of 60 per cent of a professor's income for one year and for health insurance coverage for another. The state also would continue its 82年 allocation of about 5 per cent of a retired professor, an already established retirement fund
The current mandatory age for retirement at KU is age 70.
Last week, FacEx called the Regents' plan inadequate because it did not provide enough incentives for faculty members who want to retire early.
WESTERBEKE TOLD the Council that its resolution might not even be considered by the Regents, but that it was important to ensure that there was a level of feedback be forwarded from the Council.
Westerbke said the Council of Presidents had asked for a reaction within 60 days. If the Faculty Council had not acted at Thursday's meeting, the 60-day period would have expired before the next Faculty Council meeting.
But one member, James Drury, professor of political science, said he was disturbed by the speed with which the resolutions were being passed.
Carl Leban, FacEx representative to FRPR, said the University Council must present some type of feedback to the Council of Presidents.
"It is a must that we get something in," Leban said. "The Regents are already considering the plan if, by default, no response will be given." It usually be interpreted as a show no interest.
WESTERBEKE AGREED that it would be desirable to comply with the 60-day period provided by the Council of Presidents.
Discussion arose on the power of the word being sent to the Repts from the Catachene.
Westerbeke said that the wording of the resolutions should be strong, but that the phrasing of them is more flexible.
Students at the University of Kansas would favor a legal services program funded by student activity fees that offered legal advice and court representation, according to a Student Senate survey on legal services released today.
The survey, conducted by the polling subcommittee of the Senate Communications Committee, indicated an unmet need for legal services at KU. The survey was conducted from Oct. 13 until Nov. 10.
The subcommittee's report stated that 480 surveys were completed, although
questionnaires were mailed to 796 students.
About 98 per cent of the students who
were questioned completed them.
Survey supports activity fee-funded legal aid
SIXTY PER CENT of the students who returned surveys said that they would favor an activity fee-financed program that offer low-cost representation in court, and student responses were almost evenly split on the question of a program that would provide only free legal advice. Forty-three percent such a program; 40 per cent opposed it.
Steve Leben, student body president, said yesterday that an estimated $3 increase in student activity fees to fund the court representation program was high. He said
the increase probably would be much lower and might not even be necessary.
The report stated that the survey was designed to measure students' support of a prepaid legal service and students' exposure to the legal system.
It measured support toward a prepaid legal aid service, student opinions of the U.S. legal system, student exposure to the legal system and student legal needs and interests.
Although 58 per cent of the students answering surveys said that they had been involved in situations where they thought they needed legal advice, only 23 per cent said that they had ever consulted with a lawyer on a lawyer-clever basis.
Forty-eight per cent of the students said they thought it was necessary for students to have access to a lawyer on a prepaid basis; 32 per cent of students thought they could not afford legal assistance.
Brit McPherson, chairman of the sub-
committee, said that the results could vary
by 5 or 6 per cent, but that subcommittee
were confident in the survey's accuracy.
Leben said he hoped that members of the Senate Student Services Committee, which has been investigating the possibility of the prepaid legal service, would be able to come up with a recommendation for the Senate soon.

Correction
It was incorrectly printed in Wednesday's Kansas that the cost of natural gas had increased about 25 per cent in the last fiscal year. According to Martin Jones, associate University director of Business Affairs, the increase in natural gas prices was about 35 per cent.
Victor Gent was incorrectly identified in Wednesday's Kansan Alpha Phi Alpha member in a story about the cancellation of the Ohio Phi联赛.
