Kleindienst testifies on swindle
WASHINGTON (UPI) – Richard Kleidienst, former U.S. attorney general, testified yesterday that for a $200,000 fee of a private attorney, he for a man now accused of being an insurance swindler get with the 'teamsters' health and welfare fund.
But Kleindienst told the Senate investigations subcommittee he was misled by Joseph Hauer—target of the panel's investigation. He said the influence impact as a means of protecting
Hauser from being cheated out of getting his low-bid contract accepted.
Previous testimony in the Hauer hearings indicated that as it turned out, the Hauer bid was not the lowest, and that as soon as he got the Teamster's business he began diverting $1.5 million in premium payments to his own use.
Kleindienst said his intervention on Hauser's behalf occurred in April 1978, long after his 1972-1973 stint as attorney general in the Nixon administration.
College Assembly tables faculty review proposal
By PAULA SOUTHERLAND
Staff Writer
The College Assembly yesterday tabled a motion that would strike down a student subcommittee's recommendation that students not receive student evaluations of faculty members.
In a letter to departmental chairmen and student members of the College Assembly, the Student Subcommittee of the College Committee on Faculty Appointment, Promotion and Tenure urged chairmen to choose qualified student representatives of the department, College Assembly members or students who have had close contact with faculty in the faculty units evaluations that would be included in the faculty member's files. A faculty member's files are reviewed when he is considered for tenure.
When a faculty member receives his tenure, he has the right to remain at the University indefinitely. If he is fired, the member may appeal the termination according to guidelines set up by the American Association of University Professors.
THE LETTER was written at the request of the College Committee on Faculty Appointments.
Carl Leban, associate professor of East Asian studies, moved that the matter be tabled because of the possible effects such data could have on the student-teacher relationship.
Leban said it was frightening to think that a faculty member might treat students differently because some students might be writing an evaluation of him.
Joel Mollain, Prairie Village senior, said students could not trust other evaluations such as Feedback, a discontinued faculty course, but that no further action was not required to put them in his file.
But Oliver Phillips, associate professor of
classics, said he thought the recommendations all would be favorable.
PHILLIPS SAID that he had read student testimonials for sabbatical requests, and all of those recommendations had been extremely favorable.
In other business, the Assembly sent back to the Committee on Undergraduate Studies and Advising a proposal for two new humanities courses.
The courses would be required core courses for a proposed new major in
Elizabeth Banks, assistant professor of classics, said that one of the courses, which would study and analyze classical Greek works in English translation, offered many of the same things that already were included in classics courses.
However, she said, the humanities course would not be taught by a professor "who had devoted the bulk of his intellectual and creative mind toward classical studies."
UNLESS THE COMMITTEE could ensure that the instructors had read the work in its original language, Leban said, the courses should not be offered.
Andrew Debicki, professor of Spanish and Portuguese and a member of the committee developing the literature major, said that no attempt had been made to exclude the classics department from helping to develop the major.
James Carothers, assistant professor of English, said that it was not a function of the Assembly to approve instructors for a course, but only to approve the course itself.
The Assembly passed a motion that the courses be referred back to the committee until the literature major was presented for approval to the Assembly, and that the courses work with the classes and other language departments in developing the major.

Regent...
Bennett has said there may be three new Regents next year.
Montgomery has told Bennett he would not accept another term on the board, and Jackson has said he would serve again if asked.
Haines, president and director of the Fourth National Bank and Trust Company of Wichita and the Fourth Financial Corporation, said he was aware that he was not considered by Bennett but received no earlier indication that he would be selected.
"Jordan Haines' outstanding credentials, both in business and civic affairs, make him an ideal choice for the Kansas Board of Regents," Bennett said. "His record of leadership and commitment to state laws me to believe that he will be a tremendous asset to the Board of Regents."
HE SAID HE was notified of his selection Monday afternoon.
Haines said that he did not have a great deal of knowledge on higher education in Kansas, but that he thought that it was of a higher quality and he wanted to maintain that quality.
"However, I am concerned with the cost of higher education," he said. "There is currently a budget of $400 million before the Board of Regents. I think we have to make a distinction as taxpayers between what is needed and what is affordable."
"These funds just don't come from a bottomless pit," he said.
Haines, who took office yesterday, said he assumed that he would serve four years after the term expres Dec. 31. But Bennett said there was no evidence had been made on a permanent Regent.

AT THE HAUER hearings, other witnesses treated Kleinian interrupted with Teamsters President Frank Fitzsimons and with behind-the-scenes welfare fund kingpin Allen Dorfman to ensure Hauser's insurance contract bid would be accepted.
Haines, a native Kansan, is a past president of the University of Kansas Alumni Association and currently is on its board of directors. He also is a trustee of the University of Kansas Endowment Association.

Dorfman took the Fifth Amendment 11
minutes before when asked about the
future of him.

--in her complaint, Lorenz alleged that Sturgis instilled in her a fear that she would be killed.
NEW YORK (UPI)—Convicted Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis was held on $25,000 ball yesterday on charges of threatening a government witness who reported that a congressional committee Oswald did with Sturgis and Lee Harvey Owald Will Dallard three days before President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Sturgis, $2, was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on charges of attempted coercion and aggravated harassment of a government witness
If convicted, Sturgis could be sentenced to a maximum of four years in prison.
Sturgis, a Cuban with reported ties to the CIA and anti-Castro groups, was arrested shortly before midnight Monday on a complaint sworn out against him by Marita Lorenzo, who reportedly had been involved in the assassination CIA plot to assassinate Fidel Castro.
Sturgis held on $25,000 bail
POLICE SAID Sturgis telephoned threats to Lorenz in an attempt to frighten her from testifying before the House Committee on Assassinations.
Historian says Frenchman is Hitler's illegitimate son
The historian, Werner Maser, said he based his claim on Hitler's personal notes, orders, documents, witness testimony and clinic reports.
SPEYER, West Germany (UPI) — A West German historian said yesterday he was certain that a 99-year-old Frenchman was Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler's illegitimate son.
Maser, who specializes in the Nazi era, said the mother of Jean Lorel had told her that she was a victim of the Nazis.
MASER SAID that Hitler made the acquaintance of Loret's mother in 1916 during World War I in a village in German-occupied northern France.
He said Hiller, who served with a baited mob, told her that the girl had a love affair until Oct. 5, 1977.
Maser said the girl gave birth to Jean in March, 1918.
illegitimate son who was adopted by a wealthy French family.
The foster parents sent Jean to boarding schools, and he joined the French armed forces.
He said the mother later left her
According to Maser, Loret was not interested in having his fellow countrymen attack him.
" Nobody in France would like to have
Nobby Hitler in his family." Maser quoted
Lloyd Jones.
The Sunday Times of London broke the story on the affair Oct. 10. It said Lord "is now ready to tell the world about his parentage, not to make money" but to let the world "know that Hitler was not impotent."
Alan Broomer, assistant district attorney,
had asked for a bail of $10,000, saying that Sturgia is a resident of Miami, has a fire protection section and there was a threat he might flee.
Broomer said that in the past eight months Sturgis had been in "many diverse places, including London and Paris, and he was very embarrassed by hurrying out his threat" against Miss Lorenz.
Sturgis gave his occupation as "New York lecturer," but Broomer said that occupation could not be verified at present. He quoted Sturgis as saying, "I don't know" when he was asked the name of his agency, its phone number and the lours he worked.
Defense lawyer Ronald Goldfarb did the court that Sturgis has never missed a court hearing.
"There is no corroboration to the charges against him," Goldfarb said, adding that the charges were made by "someone who has a great deal to gain" by the publicity.
Rothblatt, argued that the allegations against Sturgis were based on "a hearay statement by a psychotic woman who is known to have been the book." He called the charges ridiculous.
ANOTHER DEFENSE attorney, Henry
However, she bungled the job when she put the poison in a jar of cold cream and it melted before it could be used to kill the then president, congressional sources said.
Lorenz was Castro's lover in the 1960s and later were involved in a plot to kill him.
Friday, Nov. 4th
Lorenz, a former CIA and FBI operative, reportedly told the committee that she accompanied Oswald. Sturgs and others to meet with him before President Kennedy's assassination.
Sturgis, a member of the five-man team caught trying to bug Democratic National Headquarters at the Watergate complex in 1972, was arrested at a Manhattan apartheid police intelligence division. Police said the apartment was rented to Sturgis.
