Facultv consensus against unionization
By DAN BOWERS Staff Reporter
Board of Regents schools are not yet ready for unionization, George Worth, chairman of the University Senate executive committee told members of the Faculty Council yesterday.
Worth said that representatives from three organized faculty groups made presentations during a meeting last week in Emporia of Faculty Senate president from the Regents
Worth said that the faculty leaders had agreed that five of the Regents school didn't have those positions. He added, "It's not bad."
Following the presentations, Worth said the groups came to the consensus that unionization was only necessary in situations where communication between faculty, the administration and students had broken down, or where there was a lack of knowledge in a school's system to resolve grievances.
State University, already has a faculty collective bargaining union.
WORTH SAID THE three organizations, the American Federation of Teachers, the Kansas chapter of the National Education Association and the American Association of University Professors, all had said that economic concerns, as well as those we are low on their organizations' list of priorities.
The issue of collective bargaining has surfaced among faculty members at the Regents schools as a means of negotiating compensation and negotiated legislative restraints on salary increases.
Included in the KNEA's presentation was an invitation for three faculty members from each Regents school to attend a workshop dealing with the organization of the KNEA. Worth said, "The department would give presentations on Regents companies in the request of the faculty governing bodies.
Worth said that the faculty leaders did not respond to the KNEA's invitation, and that all
those in attendance agreed that their campuses were not in immediate need of a faculty union.

we were not going to take any further action on

Although Worth said he felt that the majority of the faculty shared his opinion, there were some faculty council members who wanted to look further into the matter.
SCOTT MCNALL, professor of sociology, said he thought KNEA should be invited to speak before interested faculty.
"If a union wishes to explain its virtues, I want we should have them come," he said. "Faculty members don't have to show up, but anybody should be encouraged to go."
Felix Moos, professor of anthropology, echoed McNall's view.
"Many faculty members may have something we want to hear," he said. "Concerning our research, we want to hear."

Constitutionality challenges to a newly enacted state drug paraphernalia law might come and go, but the Kansas attorney general's office said it would fight them to the end.
Neil Woeerman, special assistant to Attorney General Robert Stephan, said yesterday that the paraphernalia issue probably would not be resolved until the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on laws banning the use, sale and manufacture of drug paraphernalia.
"There have been threats of a challenge and there will continue to be threats until the Supreme Court as the final, definitive authority rules on the issue." Wormer said. "Right now there have been no suits filed, but we plan to defend the law all of the way if there are."
But Worther also said the state would defend its law as faras was necessary.
EARLIER IN THE WEEK, a 12-member cooperative of paraphernalia-selling stores in eight Kansas towns, including Lawrence, announced plans to test the law.
Although the cooperative admitted it had not hired an attorney or set a court date, it said the law deserved a test because of its vague definition of paraphernalia. The cooperative hoped to have the suit underway before the law was enacted July 1.
Woerman said similar suits in other state; with drug paraphrana lawsuits were usually reasoned to the U.S. District Court level. In far as on a U.S. Court of Appeals, he said
"We are actually selling items that are legal under the law." Flesher said, "but most law enforcement officials will not consider what we sell as being protected under the law. That is unfortunate when you can go to a tobacco shop down the street and purchase the exact same thing, only they will have the merchandise protected."
The Ohio rulings is what the Kansas group is hoping to base its defense on. Donald Flesher, chairman of the cooperative and the owner of a Topeka store that sells paraphernalia, said the Ohio case was similar to what they were challenging.
In that case, the Ohio 6th Circuit Court of
District 24 ruled that unconstitutional
becomes its wording was valid.
THE MANAGER of Bokonon Imports Limited and Potion Parlor, a Lawrence store selling paraphernalia items, said the law would hurt him because that it was too early to determine how much.
"We are not going to close up," the manager of Bokonom Imports said, "but we want the law tested because it is unfair to certain businesses like ours. It will be difficult because I understand that the attorney general plans to take a hard core approach in protecting the law."
'Moral' rally draws opponents

Two KU student organizations will demonstrate in Topeka this morning against Moral Majority leader Jerry Falwell, the organizer of a march called "America's rally scheduled on the Capital stents.
Representatives from the Commission on the Status of Women and the Lawrence Gay and Lesbian Services will join a demonstration sponsored by the Topeka chapter of the National Organization for Women. The groups will march to noon across the street from the Statehouse.
FALWELL WILL address the issues of homosexuality, abortion, pornography and ERA during his rally, scheduled for 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the south side of the Statehouse.
According to Adrienne Christiansen, president of the Commission on the Status of Women, Falwell's rally is "a flag-waving, slog-shouting attempt to destroy the social advances made in the United States over the last few years."
"The Moral Majority is a fundamentalist group, anti-feminist in nature." Christiansen said, "that tries to force women into traditional roles under the guise of partision.
"They call themselves the Moral Majority, but I don't believe they represent the majority with that kind of power."
Members of the Lawrence Gay and Lesbian Services said that they would protest both the Moral Majority's philosophical beliefs and their extremist tactics.
"Jerry Failwell that homosexuality is against Christian belief, so the Moral Majority goes to extremes to hurt the gay movement," comment directive leader Kyle Ripley published pictures of gays entering gay bars in order to do as much damage as they can to our reputations and careers."
FRANTZ, WHO CALLED Falvalw a power
master of the Roman Church.
Majority used Christianity and the Bible falsely.
"Falwell is just another Sunday morning preacher, making millions of bucks off of sensitive markets," she said.
According to the chairman of the Topeka chapter of NOW, Tanya Hoyer, the purpose of the demonstration is to show that patriotism and national majority are not necessarily synonymous terms.
"For one to be a Christian and a patrot, you don't have to hold the philosophy of the Moral Majority." Hoyer said. "We're showing that we believe in Jesus because we hold beliefs different from Mr. Falwell.
"we believe that this demonstration will show the views of the Moral Majority aren't necessary."
Hoyer said that the Topeka NOW chapter at least 100 people to participate in the demonstration.
Mayor celebrates birthday bartending at The Crossing
By DALE WETZEL Staff Renorter
Lawrence mayor Marci Francisco, in her most refined mayoral manner, raped her gavel three times on the polished wood surface in front of her.
In contrast to the quiet that usually prevails when Francisco brings a City Commission meeting to order, however, the assemblage before he refused to fall silent.
MAYOR FRANICISCO was taking her regular Wednesday night bartending shift, and her gavel's three short, sharp noises served only to her as a nod to the work. Francois works at The Crossroads, 618 W. 12th St.
Francisco was not presiding over the commission's regular Tuesday night meeting, though.
Part of the bar's din was Francisco's unwitting doing. Her enthusiasm for Don McLean's 1973 hit, "American Pie," had led her to turn up the bar stereo. But it was the mayor's 31st birthday—she is the youngest mayor in Lawrence's history—and she was having fun.
"I stay pretty busy," she said, "and if my friends need to get in touch, they know I'm always here on Wednesday night. "This has been my local for a long time."
"I like to out and have a few drinks with my friends," Francisco said, flashing a mischievous grin. "I just thought I'd be better off on the other side of the bar."
It's a small local. A hand-lettered sign posted above the entrance announces a capacity of 45 patrons, a figure increased by a small patio outside the front entrance.
Several well-wishers up to lean on the bar, offer Francisco birthday congratulations, sign an enormous card and, in some cases, accept a free draw.
they bought me a keg." Francisco explained,
as she took a sip of her own beer. "I'm 31 years old, and maybe I'll start behaving myself."
THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT crowd was sparse—there were almost as many people sitting on the tiny outdoor porch as there were in the building—but the mood was festive.
including a pinchah machine eminently titled "Mars-God of War," with Mars looking more Trojan than Roman. The Crossing is a bar with few scenic distractions. The only real-life figure that decorated the wooden walls was a full-color model of Reagan, Reagan, seated next to Bonzo the Chimpanzee.
"Quite a few people know I'm the mayor," Francisco said, "but then, a lot of people don't. You can sort of be your own person, keep busy and not get involved."
The week before, after her election to the mayor's post on a 4-1 City Commission vote, Francisco had worn a button imploring, "No politics tonight, please."
"You can say, 'Oh well, I'm at work.' "
As she spoke, Francisco removed the tops of two bottles of Lowenbraun Dark Special.
"I serve beer, stock, wipe the tables, sweep the floor, do whatever a bartender does," she said.
"When I was first elected in 1978," Francisco said, "the people asked me on the radio what I was doing to celebrate. I said, well, I'm going to The Crossing for a beer.
"Pretty soon, everyone who worked on the campaign was there. It was full. Finally Thrasher (the owner at the time) just threw up his hands and said, 'Free beer for everybody.'"
Aside from Francisco's acquaintances, we have also met the mayor of Lawrences who serves them.
FRANCISCO HASEN a Lawrence resident for 12 years, since transferring to KU's School of Architecture from Macalester College of St. Joseph University in environmental design in 1973. "A BED

Unable to return to his job, the somber-faced Lawrence truck driver was told that he could not collect Social Security benefits because, despite the reports of six physicians, including one employed by the Social Security Administration, he was not 100 percent disabled.
Couple finds satisfaction in new home
Since back surgery last October left him in a wheelchair, Wayne Cheek had 'faced the challenge'
After his second application was denied, his wife, Rinke, went to the Legal Aid Society. Their trial ended in a hungman's victory.
Since the loss of Cheek's income, the family has survived on Mrs. Cheek's income as a waitress, subsidized housing and some welfare, also covers her husband's medical expenses
Meanwhile, Cheek has been unable to find a box in spite of the "hire the handicapped" panda.
A former sandblaster, truck driver, construction worker and taxi driver, Cheek says that if he could "get up and walk, I could make sure he was there and he be able to go to work tomorrow morning."
His wife said, "They just don't want to mess with the handicapped."
Cheek, who appears tall, even in his wheelchair, attributes his inability to collect Social Security to "your President Reagan and his budget cuts."
But one federal government program has provided the Cheek family with a specially renovated, four-bedroom house, which they will rent for a maximum of 25 percent of their income, according to August Dettbarn of the Lawrence Housing Authority.
