Petition says Dykes violated profs' rights
By BILL MENEZES
Staff Reporter
Carl Leban, associate professor of East Asian studies, petitioned the University of Michigan to grant permission alleging that Chancellor Archie R. Dykes was biased in his treatment of Norman Ward.
Forer, associate professor of social welfare, and Dillingham, social welfare instructor, were members of a group that unofficially attempt to help the restress the荷美
Since then, Forer requested and received leave without navy for the snine semester.
Forer and Dillingham were suspended without pay by Dykes for the time they were absent from their classes.
He led a second trip to Iran in February with 48 other Americans.
Leban's petition charged that in his accusation, he had the rights of all university faculty, staff students" by 14 separate "abuses and misuses of the powers of his office as headmistress."
The petition says Dykes indulged in personal prejudice by selectively enforcing his own rules against the students, never regularly enforced and without precedent of enforcement at this Univer-
DYKES VIOLATED University regulations he is supposed to enforce, the petition said, by refusing to name specific charges against the two, by denying them a
hearing on any charges and by refusing them any right of review or appeal.
The petition also called Dykes violated the faculty members' constitutional rights of confronting their accuser, hearing allegations that they did not deal with that process in the rioting of unrest.
Dykes also circulated in the news media "falsehoods and slanders," the petition said, because he refused to name any actual charges against Forer or Dillingham.
The petition accused Dykes of selectively releasing correspondence about the matter to journalists, who were citizens and sectors of the press, thus influencing opinion about Forer in a deceptive manner.
AFTER FORER and Dillingham return
dry, Dykes continued "to dissimulate, fabricate and falsify" his concerns concerning the testimony, despite the two men demonstrated their compliance to all the regulations for which they had been charged.
Jim Scaly, executive secretary to the chancellor, said that Leon brought a copy of his petition to Dykes' office yesterday morning.
Scally said the chancellor had no comment on Leban's accusations. J. Hammond McNeish, chairman of the University and co-chairman of the petition, the chancellor's secretary said.
Leban refused to comment over the telephone last night
McNish said that although the University
Judiciary had handled a wide variety of disputes in the past, there had been nothing like the current dispute.
Tim Miller, lecturer in religious studies,
said Leban had told him several months ago
that he planned to take a kind of comedy.
McNish said the chancellor would be formally notified of the charges within the next several days. The chancellor will have 10 working days to answer the charges.
Miller said he knew of several faculty members who would support Leban's position.
"I think there are a great number of faculty that agree with the things Leban says, Miller said. "From what I know he responds to 'a behavior, I think he's been out of line."
GERHARD ZUTHER, chairman of the University Senate executive committee, told the Council the chancellor had sent him copies of correspondence that the administration had received regarding Forer. Forer, a former secretary of state, overwhelmably against Forer. Zuther said.
But several Council members said they knew of many letters favoring Fowler that he wrote, and he asked Zudner whether the chancellor was sending his copies of all correspondence or not.
Zuther said he had not asked the chancellor whether he was forwarding all relevant letters. He also declined to communicate until night last, because he had not yet seen it.

Students pursuing undergraduate degrees in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must meet requirements for proposals under consideration by the College Assembly are
The Assembly, which is made up of faculty members and elected graduate and undergraduate students, debated two proposals last night that would add requirements for graduation with a bachelor's or a bachelor of general studies degree.
A report of a joint subcommittee of the
committee for undergraduate studies and advising and the committee on policies and educational goals suggested these students seeking B.A. or B.S. degrees:
- Completion of a third English course that emphasizes composition (English 203, 205, 288, 290, 210, 211, 212, 214, 216, 359, 360) or demonstration of equivalent proficiency.
- Completion of Speech Communications and Human Relations 130, 150 or 230 or demonstration of equifidency proficiency.
*Completion of Math 002 or exemption and Math 101, 102, 111, 115 or 121, or demonstration of equivalent proficiency.
Furthermore, B.A. candidates who do not complete 115 or 121 would be required to take a second course in mathematics beyond Math 002.
The subcommittee's report also recommended encouragement $J$. the development of interdivisional courses, which overlap the curriculum in core subjects, math/natural sciences and social science.
The College Assembly voted by a narrow margin to adopt this proposal for discussion instead of a minority report submitted by some members of the subcommittee.
The minority report would have added a foreign language requirement to the B.G.S. degree.

Student's song scoffs at Khomeini
Greg Baker, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student, said yesterday he wrote "One Khomeini Too Many," a humorous song by Avalahatul Khowlih Khomeini. "Pok 'fan' at Availahatul Khowlih Khomeini."
A KU student has devised a musical method to deal with tension caused by the hostage crisis in Iran.
Baker said his song also reflected the attitudes of the American people regarding the 50 American hostages being held in the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.
One verse from Baker's song reads: "Khomeni yelled, 'Carter, quit the bullfrog,' send us the shah, dead or alive."
"We say, 'Khomeini, don't mess' with our

Debate unlikely on self-help bill, legislators say
After the song had been mixed and recorded, Baker said, he took copies of the album to his friend Dan McCann in City area. Dice jockeys at the stations said they liked the song and would make an et-

A proposed self-help amendment to the Landlord-Tenant Act seems to be all but dead in the Kansas Leesilature.
House Majority Leader Robert Frey, who along with the speaker of the House decides what bills are acted upon on the House floor, said that he was against bringing the hill on for debate.
Speaker of the House Wendell Lady, R-Overland Park, said he also opposed the bill.
The bill, introduced last session by Station Rep. John Solach, D-Lawrence, and three other representatives, would give tenants the ability to afford a meaningful amount of getting repairs done.
However, the bill will die if it is not acted on by March 12, the last day the House of Representatives can consider its own bills.
"My personal intention is that the bill won't come up," said Frey, R-Liberal, who is a landlord. "I don't think the bill is good." Landlord-Tenant Act is the way it is.
LADY SAID the actual decision on whether to hear the bill would not be reached until later this week.
The amendment had been approved for the committee last week, after being referred back to committee because of revisional errors made after the committee's first meeting.
But House Minority Leader Fred Weaver, D-Banter Springs, said, "If FF made that statement, chances are the bill won't be brought up."
Landlords, who have labored heavily against the proposal, intensified their efforts when the proposal was referred back to committee a second time.
"I'll be disappointed if it isn't brought up," solbach said. "But it wouldn't surprise我 if Frey decides not to let the bill have a chance to be passed." He has said all alone he was onlooked to it."
A MOTION could be made on the floor to bring the bill up for debate, he said. The amendment also could be tacked on a bill to support or debate. He is not outlawish, but inattentive.
Sobach also said there were several other ways that proponents of the bill could get the proposal to the House floor.
Under the bill, a tenant could have repair work done on his own expense if the landlord refused to do it and the tenant's health or safety were threatened.
To be reimbursed, the tenant would have to give a receipt for the work, his next rent check and a filing fee to a district court clerk.
"It will take a great deal of work to get it passed," he said.
The clerk would deduct the cost of the repairs—limited to $100 or half the rent, whichever was greater—from the rent and send the remainder to the landlord.
IF THE landlord objected, the tenant would have to file suit in small claims court to be reimbursed.
Frey, who owns apartments in Seward County, is among those who have claimed that the bill's passage would give an unfair advantage to tenants.
KU foreign student enrollment mav ebb during next few years
Staff Reporter
By GRANT OVERSTAKE
A nationality classification of foreign students in the University of Kansas released yesterday by the Office of Foreign Student Services shows that 1,363 students from 95 countries are enrolled at UCLA.
But, because of the fluctuating international political situation and worldwide inflation, the number of foreign students attending KU over the next two three years may drop, according to Clark, director of Foreign Student Services.
"I imagine the number will stabilize in the 1,200 to 1,300 area. We could possibly have more of a drop. There are just too many imponderables to be exact," Coan said. "Something could happen when the number could change overnight. You never can tell."
THEERE ARE 1,137 foreign men and 429 foreign women on the Lawrence Campus and at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. There are 897 foreign graduate students, 681 undergraduate students, 503 post-medical students and 54 post-medical students at the Med Center. The Applied English Center has an enrollment of 151.
Coan said he thought the foreign students were an asset to the University.
"it important to the University and to students without overseas experience to associate with people from other countries," he said.
Besides offering the foreign students
"You could look at areas in the world right now where it doesn't work," Coan said. "But you could also see hundreds of areas that it has worked. Most of the students we have here are from the developing nations. They send people over to international and technological skills to return home to benefit the people of their country."
educational, cultural and social opportunities. Coan said, and another objective of the student program is to make foreign students aware of the facets of life in the United States so they will be able to communicate effectively about the United States in the interest of their own countries.
"We had 269 Iranian students here last semester. This semester we have 260," he said.
IT WOULD be impossible to tell how many iranians were not able to enroll because of financial difficulties, he said.
"Some of them graduated, some of them went home and some are enrolled for college. Some are still telling where they are." We've also had some Iranians transfer to KU from other universities.
Most of the new Iranian students came to the University for graduate school, he said. Many of the Iranians who left the University had successfully completed a course on computer science in the Applied English Center and began their academic work.

Proposal opposes draft of women
By SCOTT FAUST
Staff Reporter
TOPEKA-State Senate. John Vernillion, R-Rependence, said yesterday that he was afraid to talk and draft of women would be in the thinking of young women." put death in the thinking of young women."
Vermilion expressed his fears by sponsoring a Kansas Senate resolution urging President Carter and the Congress to exempt women from registration.
Although Carter has recommended women be included in any registration program, the U.S. House Armed Services Committee is expected to veto the idea this week.
The Kansas resolution is a statement of common belief, not legislation. Vermillion and the other members of the State Affairs Committee hearing on the resolution. He said that Kansas' voice would be heard.
"Kansas can be a leader," Vermillion said, "and we need to exercise that leadership ability."
Reading from a prepared statement, Vermilion told the panel:
"It is time in Kansas to speak up and to speak out and let the military industrial complex know that we will not give up our children and grandchildren to the gods of war.
"Military discipline would be extremely cruel for most young ladies," he said.
"It will not only be the boy down the street that comes home without legs or blind or in a box, but now it may be the once-cute little pigtail girded up the street."
Vermilion said the rigors of military service, both physical and mental, would be especially hard on women.
VERMILION SAID that he thought the resolution had a good chance of committee approval and that the full State Senate should act on it.
He said he thought drafting women would diminish the importance of the American home and of the family, where "you are needed to need comfort and ability."
"because military discipline requires that you give up your freedom to think for yourself and to be yourself; your beauty, your vanity and your personal likes."
THE VERTILMILL resolution states,
"Deterrence of the U.S.S.R. depends on
America's military readiness, not on our
commitment to a sociological experiment
Both Vermillion and Jones said women still would be free to volunteer for military service.
Nancy Mims, president of the Intercollegiate Association for Women Students at KU, said her national role in promoting a flavor of registration and draft of women.
"Basically, we recognize not only the rights of women, but also the responsibilities of women to defend their country if necessary," Mims said. "Women, up to this point, have been given very little chance to pursue careers or disabilities under military situations."
