FacEx unhappy with compromise on sabbatical plan
Bv JOHN WHITESIDES
Staff Writer
FacEx yesterday defeated a motion to recommend a proposed compromise of the faculty sabbatical plan to the Faculty Board, which he agreed to discuss the issue at its next meeting.
William Westberke, FacEx chairman,
also released two letters he had received
from faculty members who disagreed with
the Faculty Council's recommendations for
medicalicals and who thought the current
certification should be used throughout
the selection process.
The compromise plan was prepared by Mike Davis, University general counsel, at
a meeting between Fackx and administrators two weeks ago.
The meeting was an attempt to resolve differences over the administration's recent rejection of the proposed sabbatical plan. The plan was rejected on the grounds that it was incompatible with Kansas Board of Agriculture regulations, so that sabbaticals be granted strictly on merit.
THE FACULTY plan would have allowed some sabbaticals to be made on grounds other than merit, such as length of service or the length of time without a sabbatical.
The Davis compromise plan would allow each of the 11 members of the University to attend all conferences.
Each applicant that received six votes or more would qualify for further committee
nave one yes vote for each sabbatical leave available.
At its meeting last week, the Faculty Council had endorsed the general philosophy of the Davis proposal. However, both groups still disagreed with the proposal well ahead.
T. P. Srinivasan, professor of mathematics, said he thought the Davis proposal introduced a quota that did not require any special effort in equal opportunity to receive sabbaticals
*'WHEN WE developed these sabbatical amendments, great effort went into building
equal opportunity provisions into these articles." Srinivasan said. "Now comes the Davis plan, which in one fell swoop wipes out all those provisions.
"When one is allowed to make judgments without quotas, one can be fair and go by meril," he added. "However, when one has to use quotas, one cannot help be affected
Srivinasaan joined faculty council members who last week expressed doubt in the ability of UCSL members to grant sabbaticals fairly. Year after year, sabbaticals were represented by more members representing the most fashionable research areas at the University, he said.
'When the crunch comes they (UCSL)
Union building bids low; extra work possible
Construction bids received yesterday for the new satellite Kansas Union were lower than expected, which meant that some unplanned finishing work might be possible.

the LLA the Senate treasurer reported yesterday. To do so would be in violation of University policy prohibiting funding of an institution's personal habits or proclivities.
Each group seeking Senate funds must register in the office of the vice chancellor of an institution. Each group oriented toward certain religious or personal activities the vice chancellor of an institution may hold.
After the coalition's original 15-minute hearing had finished, the committee asked it to return after the other scheduled groups had been heard.
THE COLELITION, which had received $1,770 last spring, had requested money for bookshelves and office expenses when Munny asked how many of the coalition's magazine subscriptions and book purchases were of lesbian-oriented material.
Kathy Harris, a spokesman for the coalition, said four of its 17 magazine subscriptions carried lesbian-related material, although she said the magazines were of service to all members of the coalition.
But then Francke said, "I think a more pertinent question would be, how many of those magazines advocate lesbianism as a lifestyle?
"I don't think we've gotten a fair shake from members of the Student Senate," she said, referring to "some kind of publicity" she's said in her Coalition is a hotbed of lesbianism.
Harris said she thought the committee concentrated too much on the coalition's LLA-affiliation and overlooked its services. She also helped help resources and birth-control programs.
SOME MEMBERS of the Senate earlier had questioned among themselves certain expenditures made by the coalition, after it emerged that the president appeared to be lesbian-oriented magazines.
"We don't need to be crippled that way."
"Pranche said: 'Please come in and in-
vestigate.'"
In other action, the International Club presented its request for $4,956 of the Senate's available funds. The funds were to be used for spring 1's request, the club spokesman said.
THE GREATEST share of the money was used for each of the International Club's joint activities.
The committee asked both the International Club and the Free China Club
