Administrators review graduate student job report
By SUSAN T. HALL Staff Writer
University of Kansas administrators are reviewing a report on graduate student employment to determine how its recommendations can be used, William Hogan, associate executive vice chancellor, said yesterday.
"We need to look at those things that will help the University implement the graduate education."
Del Shakel, executive vice chancellor,
referred the report to four vice chancellors,
who will review certain areas of it and
respond to its recommendations during a
meeting. Mr. Shakel will serve as vice
chancellor for student affairs; William
Argersinger, vice chancellor for research
and graduate study; Ron Calgae, vice chancellor for academic affairs, and Hoasan.
THE REPORT, which was submitted to
the U.S. Senate on Wednesday after
Chancellor Ardyke has reviewed it
Hogan said the biggest problem in the implementation of the new graduate policies would be the coordination of the University's departments and staff.
"It must involve all the staff at the University to implement the program specified."
The report recommends that graduate student employment be uniform within all the colleges. But many departments require a coordinated graduate programs, Hoag said.
Shankel set up the Task Force on
Graduate Student Concerns last January to investigate the various problems in graduate student employment at KU, including hiring policies, wages and fringe benefits. The group is composed of Hogan, two deans, six professors and five students.
THE DISPUTE over graduate employment practices began in the fall of 1978, when several students from the department of design complained that they were promised jobs as assistant instructors but instead were hired as teaching assistants.
Jeanette Johnson, assistant to Shankel, said those attending the vice chancellors' meeting Monday agreed to the basic recommendations of the report but thought clarification of certain points was necessary.
Shankel he referred the report to the vice chancellors so they could review implementation of the report's policies and decide whether better coordination of graduate student records could be accomplished by the existing offices.
"RIGHT NOW, graduate records are handled in a variety of places," he said.
Shankel said the places included the Office of Academic Affairs, Office of Student Affairs, the Office of Graduate Departments that hire research assistants.
Several of the report's recommendations have been implemented, including a uniform procedure for hiring graduate students, Shankel said.
The new procedure, issued last summer
by Calgaon, requires that all job agreements be written. All departments now use a standardized employment form to verify the employee's procedure is supposed to clarify the conditions of graduate student employment, salary and responsibilities of his position.

The fee waiver, which would cost the state $0.024, is included in RU's budget request for these funds.
SHANKEL SAID another recommendation of the report—to waive the incidental fees of graduate students-had been approved by the Kansas Board of
Kidnaped German industrialist's body found
According to the provisions of the fee waiver, which is based on a graduated scale, all incident fees for a half-time graduate assistant and half of the incident fees for a quarter-time assistant would be waived.
He was abducted Sept. 5 by terrorists who fired automatic weapons as he was being captured in the basement.
Earlier in the day, a communique received by extreme leftist Paris newspaper said, "the existence of Mr. Hanns-Martin Schever has been ended."
THE COMMUNIQUE said the dead man was in the trunk of a green Audi sedan in Mulhouse. Police said they found the body after they ripped open the back seat of the car.
The communique was signed "Commando Siegfried Housner R.A.F." That is the name of the German terror group that said it had kidnapped Schleyer and threatened to execute him unless the West German government released 11 terrorists from
PARIS (AP)—The body of West German industrialist Hanki-Marin Schleier, who was kidnapped six weeks ago, was found last night stuffed into the trunk of a car in the basement of his flat, near border, the French Interior Ministry said. A spokesman said his throat had been cut.
The communique was given to the newspaper Liberation, which previously has received communiques from Schleyer's kidnappers.

jetliner over the French Riviera and issued demands similar to those of the kidnappers.
The references were to the German commando raid on a hijacked jet at Somalia's Mogadishu airport and to the subsequent deaths of three terrorists whose German jails had been demanded by Schleyer's kidnappers and by the hijackers.
In the six weeks his Schleyer was kidnapped in Colgine, his captors set several deadlines for the West German government. These had passed without any action.
"His death is commensurate with our sorrow and our anger after the Mogadishu and Stammheim massacres, Andreas, Gundrun, Karl, Ingmar and we ourselves are devastated by the fascist theatrics of the imperialists to destroy liberation movements.
THE GOVERNMENT has not met the demands.
But the hijacking ended early Tuesday when specially trained German commandos stormed the jet at Mogadishu, killed three of the hijackers and rescued all 86 hostages aboard. The pilot had been murdered earlier.
West German officials yesterday branded as "insane" charges that the three terrorists were murdered and insisted they had committed suicide.
All had been members of the Baader-Meinhof ultrasoft fist terror organization, whose other co-leader, Urlike Meinhof, were found hung in her cell last year.
Hours after the raid was announced, West German officials reported that three of the terrorists whose freedom was demanded by the kidnappers and hijackers had killed themselves in their prison cells and that a fourth had tried to but survived. Leftists promptly suggested that the deaths were murders.
"WE WILL NEVER forget the blood spilled by Schmidt and the imperialists who supported him. The tattle has only begun. By armed anti-imperialist struggle."

Dallas, Fort Worth agree to accept Concorde flights
WASHINGTON(UPI)-Dallas and Fort Worth, which share a common airport designed with the SFT in mind, may be the next cities to get regular Concorde flights, many of other U.S. cities also are potential candidates for daily supercar air service.
Both Texas cities want the Concorde, the airport qualifies, and Braniff International has signed agreements with the British and the French to lease their Concordes as soon as possible. The FAA (FAA) certifies the Concorde for use by U.S. airlines. This would provide same-plane
SST service from Texas to Europe via Washington.
The FAA considers at least 12 other U.S. airports—New York, Washington in Dulles, Anchorage, Boston, Chicago, Honolulu, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle-Takoma—as suitable for Concorde flights.
An airline also must be interested in providing SST service to a particular location.
The SST policy proposed by the Carter administration Sept. 23 requires local as well as federal approval before the Concord can land at any city.
From San Francisco
the absurd (but good!) CORNELL HURD
The band pumps out a potent brand of roadhouse funk that owes as much to big city rock and roll as country and western. With the band's dabble reappropriate and antics, the Mondo Hopkins Orchestra comes across like some bizarre combination of the dada rock of the Bonzo Dog Band and the western swing/rockability of Commander Cody and his Los Planet Airmen. It is a blend that could only come from the San Francisco rock scene.
