Council plans open meeting policy
By BILL MENEZES Staff Reporter
A University Council committee will develop an open meetings policy to be included in the University Senate code. The council may be asked by the University Council yesterday.
The action was taken after a motion for an open meeting policy by Mark Bernstein, Council member, did for lack of a second.
Bernstein's request, distributed to Council members before the meeting, also asked for consideration of student representation on all University Governance committees.
Bernstein said he was concerned about meetings of faculty and University governance that were "capriciously" closed to students and the stress.
"Items have been moved from SenEx to FacEx that students have an interest in," he said. "They were discussed in closed session so students had no involvement."
SenEx, the University Senate executive committee, has student representatives, but FaceC, the Faculty Senate executive committee, does not.
"There have been times when we have gone into closed session," he said, "only to hear things privately because we don't want anyone else to know them."
STEVE, CRAMER, Council and SenEx member, agreed that meetings were sometimes closed unnecessarily.
Anthony Smith, chairman of the committee on Organization and Administration, said his committee had discussed the problems in deciding the conditions under which recommendations had been postponed because of pending action in the Kansas
University Daily Kansan
Legislature dealing with the matter of open meetings.
Most of last Friday the FaExe meeting was closed for discussion with Chancellor Archie Schanel and Dr. Ralph Christofersen, vice chancellor for academic affairs, about the events surrounding the suspensions of career and Clarence Dilgham in December.
FORER, ASSOCIATE professor of social welfare during the crisis in social welfare, were suspended without pay by Dykes during their trip to Iran in an unjustual attempt to help resolve the crisis there.
Cramer said organization and Administration should also define when closed sessions were proper, by Claire McCurdy. The managers, said this could invite disagreements.
"The only way you could do that would be in vague terms," she said. "That would invite argument."
Cramer disagreed and said a list of appropriate and inappropriate meeting closures was important.
"A closed session is a very dangerous thint to plaar with." he said.
Last Friday's closed FacEx session was discussed in the Faculty Council yesterday, and Gerhard Zuther, FacEx chairman, said that because of actions against Mr. Schuttenberg, Judiciary the report given by Dykes was ignored and would not be released at this time.
AT ITS March 7 meeting, FacEx requested that Dykes give a detailed report of the events and his decisions
surrounding the suspensions of Forer and Dillinham.
George Worth, FacEx member, said it was his impression when he left the meeting with Dykes that the matter of the report was still pending.
Worth said, in answer to concerns of several Council members, that FacXe had asked for the report only to determine the facts and to conduct an investigation into their legality.
Robert Shelton, Council member, he said was concerned that FacEx thought it could look into the procedure used by only asking questions. He did not use the other parties, Forter and Dilhuming.
Shelton said the FacEx request was interpreted as one-sided because of the manner in which it was made.
IN OTHER business, the University Council passed a revision in eligibility standards for financial aid.
The standards, if approved by the administration, would require first semester freshmen to achieve a 1.0 grade point or higher in all courses and maintain资格性 for additional financial aid.
Students would be required to achieve a 2.0 cumulative grade point average by their fifth semester.
Present standards require first semester freshmen to achieve a 1.20 grade point average for 12 hours, but allow them nine hours to achieve a 2.0 cumulative grade point average.
Paycheck plan only for Med Center use

A bill that could have eased financial strains on KU students was amended yesterday by the House Ways and Means Committee, to the University of Kansas Medical Center.
The bill, proposed to the committee by the state finance council, provided for biweekly payment of all state employees.
Hayden said the Med Center employees were given priority over other state employees because of the competition the Med Center faced in hiring.
The amendment made the bill applicable only to the Med Center this year. Any other institutions requesting payroll change would need legislative approval.
Mike Hayden, R-Atwood and chairman of the committee, said yesterday that the committee approved the amended version of the bill because of the cost to the state.
"We've got a competitive problem there because of a competitive problem with the other Kansas City hospitals," Hayden said, "many nurses and classified employees."
ART GRIGGS, assistant state secretary of administration, said the Med Center
change was a high priority item that had been proposed for several years.
The Med Center currently pays its employees on a semi-monthly basis, the first pay period lasting from the first to the 18th of month, the second from the 18th to the 31st.
Grigsgs said that because Med Center employees were paid semi-monthly, it would not be "too much of a sweeping change."
"They wanted interest on the money more than they wanted to grant biweekly pay," he said.
He said he thought the legislators amended the bill to save the state interest on its investment of the money.
James R. Cobler, state director of the division of accounts and records, said the cost of implementing a bweekly program was very expensive on a statewide basis.
He said there were several areas where costs to the state were involved, the highest from a loss of income to the general state fund as a result of paying people sooner.
He said the loss on investments if all state agencies went to biweekly payroll would be $1.4 million.
The loss of income from the Med Center switch will be $153,341. Cobler said.
HE SAID that statewide implementation of a bweekly payroll would necessitate a telephone communications system to the time need to write and deliver checks.
The conversion of the system would incur a one-time cost of $82,072 for fiscal 1981, Cobler said.
Cobler said the Med Center could implement the program with some of their own equipment and the cost would be $60,355 less than the state totaled wane.
Computer time and additional employee time would increase operational costs by $47,368. he said.
"The most basic question is who is entitled to the money," he said. "Who is it, the employees when they earn it or when they're paid a month later?"
HAYDEN SAID, "My feeling is the state employees would rather have $3 or $4 million in salaries than have it spent on bivekly paychecks."
Grigsls said that the money the state invested to provide it with revenue was money an employee should be using for his own benefits.
"I see the inequities," Griggs said.

a team of researchers in the KU physics department soon have the technology to put a power satellite in orbit, according to Thomas P. Armstrong, KU professor of physics and astronomy.
The research team-made up of Armstrong, Gordon Wisman, associate chairman of physics and astronomy; Jacob Enoch, associate professor of physics and astronomy; and several others are involved on problems of using solar cells in space.
But social, political, and economic problems will delay the satellite five to 10 years, according to Armstrong.
The power generated by the satellite would be sent to earth along a microwave beam. Part of the power will be lost between the cells and the user on earth.
Solar cells, like those used in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Skylab, are made of silicon and the sun's light to produce electricity.
A better way to use the cells, which is even further in the future, Armstrong said, would be to build them into industrial cells or to carry on manufacturing in space.

THE CELLS would be built into a tall tower, which would counter a strong one. said the engineer equals five-eighths of a mile. if the satellite was on the ground it would cover about as much area as LEWIS'
Armstrong said the satellite would be placed in an orbit that would keep it above the same point on earth at all times.
The researchers are working on the interaction between the cells and particles of ionized gas, which the satellite will encounter in space, he said.
The gas, ionized hydrogen, reduces the cells' efficiency. The gas has a high temperature and conducts electricity, and increases electricity produced by the cells, he said.
Eight months of research indicate that the team needs to concentrate on the surface covering the cells, he said.
If this surface is adequately prepared, he said, the gas won't be able to draw power from the cells.
ARMSTRONG SAID the research would be completed before the NASA space
After 22 years of playing drums, wifes-baters and heavies, Pat Dingle will appear April 25 in the light-hearted comedy "You Got That" at The University Theatre in Murhill Hall.
Hingle, Broadway and television actor, has agreed to play Grandma in the KU theatre production. Jack Wright, professor of speech and drama. announced vested
"We're excited about getting Pat because he's the one we wanted all along." Wright said. "Hingle is one of those actors whose name is Hingle and whose name you may not be familiar with."
TV veteran to perform in KU comedy
His stage credits include "Dark at the Top of the Stairs," "That Championship Season" and "Child's Play."
Wright said that he had been trying to get Hingle to play the role since November.
"When we thought Hingle wasn't going to be able to come, we tried other actors. But they just didn't work out." Wright said.
Hingle appeared on the television series "MASH," "The Streets of San Francisco, and recently played the police chief on the short-lived 'Stone' series.
Wright said he also contacted actors Karl Malden and Harry Morgan, but they had other commitments.
"This is a great opportunity for students to work beside a great artist. Hingle is an actor's actor who is very well respected in the field," he said.
While Hingle may be respected by some, a
"I've only seen Hingle do real heavy drama, and I wonder whether he's right for comic role," he said.
member of the speech and drama department faculty, who asked not to be identified, said many in the department were unhappy with the choice of Hingle.
Wright said he expected Hingle to have a good knowledge of the play when he and his wife arrived April 14.
In addition to his stage performance, Hingle will spend his four weeks at KU teaching a minicourse and working with students.
I've sent him a script and floor plan of the set. He seems to have a pretty good knowledge of the play, "he said."
