Legal Services hires attorney
By KAREN SCHLUETER Staff Reporter
The Student Legal Services Program hired Cindy Week, a 177 University of Kansas Law graduate, as its new full-time attorney yesterday.
She replaces Steve Ruddick, the program's attorney since it began in 1979. Ruddick resigned at the beginning of the semester for a position as general counsel at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Woek is the assistant director and a staff attorney for the Kansas Defender Project, a program within the School of Law. She worked for the Legal Aid Society of Wichita for two years before returning to KU.
"Her work experience was perfect for our job," Steve Leben, Legal Services board chairman, said.
LEBEN SAID THAT 25 attorneys applied for the position. The committee took into consideration the applicants' records and their work experience.
Weok will start working for the program after spring break, replacing Jerry Harper, interim attorney.
Leben said Woolf's starting salary would be $18,000 a year, or almost $19,500 with fringe benefits.
If the program receives its funding increase request for next year, the attorney's salary could increase to 820 000 including benefits.
In addition to increasing the full-time salary, the budget request includes a payment a parental attorney. The request was approved by the Student Senate Tuesday night.
THE PART-TIME position is necessary, Leben said, because the case load is too heavy for one attorney or two. The part-time law student in internship to handle.
"Right now, the attorney only has time to do everything fairly well, instead of doing everything very well," he said.
When the service began, it was as a source of legal advice for students. This year it expanded to include in-court representation for landlord-tenant,
consumer affairs and motor vehicle cases.
LEBEN SAID THAT although the actual number of cases handled by the service had not increased, the time required to research the cases had. Almost 1,500 students have used the service since 1799.
One of the services' original functions was to educate students on common misconceptions.
Leben said the attorney did not have time to develop this side of the program. Ruddick held two educational columns and wrote columns in the Kansas
The budget increase and the part-time position would allow the educational services to expand, Leben said.

MISTER GUY ANNOUNCES
Brazilians have always been in the minority at the annual Brazilian Carnival, according to Roberto da Canha Pereira, president of the newly formed Portuguese and Brazilian Club.
"We would like to have a live band, but there are no samba bands in Lawrence," he said.
The Brazilian and Portuguese club was formed in late January, and is therefore just helping with the team's preparation. The day, Da Cunha Pereira said. The
THE CLUB HAS applied to the Student Senate for funds, but if the money is granted, it will not be available until next fall.
"The carnival is the best therapy for the winter blues in Lawrence. It has been a sell-out for the last two years. Last year about 400 or 500 people came." Da Cunba Pereira celebrates her birthday celebration for the year in Lawrence. Many Americans have enloided it in the past."
Da Cunha Pereira said that the traditional music for the carnival was samba.
The lack of money does not mean that the club will be inactive this semester. De Sousa said that the club had already made plans for several activities besides the carnival.
Da Cunha Pereira, Sao Joe, Brazil, graduate student, said that the carnival was similar to the New Orleans festival that takes place in New Orleans.
** THIS YEAR'S carnival will begin**
at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Elks
Lodge, 7035 W. 21rd St. Tickets for
the event are $4 and are available at
www.yeshaworks.org and the Spanish and Portuguese
department office, 3062 Wescoe.
The club has about 35 members, including American students and several KU faculty members.
Brazilian students plan spring carnival events
The Luo-Brazilian table is one of five language tables that meet in the Union. American foreign language students gather at the table to practice their linguistic skills. Da Cunha Perera said that Brazilian students are speaking their native language with the Americans at the table.
Not only are the Portuguese-speaking Americans outnumbered by their American friends at the carnival, but Da Cunha Pereria said that the majority of the club's members are not Brazilian. He said that the club was open to anyone with an interest in Brazilian culture.

THE CLUB WAS formed this semester when several students who regularly participated in the Luso-Brazilian language table at the Union decided to formally organize. Geraldio de Souza, the club's vice president, told them who would be at 11:30 a.m. Fridays in Alcove D at the Union.
club members hope to sponsor the event next year.

Officials at the hospital said it was still not clear whether the drugs were stolen or whether inventory records were incorrect.
The 29 vials contained individual doses of Merepadine, police said. The bottles had green caps, indicating the drugs were contaminated.
Plane crash marks first fatal accident
"That's one of the best records in the country." he said.
Lawrence Memorial Hospital reported several vials of a narcotic pain-killing drug missing Friday, Lawrence police said yesterday.
On the Record
the manager, Brad Bartholonew,
said the Lawrence Airport had logged
65 000 injury-free flights in eight years.
The plane crash that killed Douglas Wayne Potter, Lawrence junior, last weekend was the first fatal accident involving an aircraft at Lawrence Municipal Airport, the airport manager said yesterday.
Bartholmew said pilot error was
the cause in 95 percent of all air crashes.
The most recent accident at the Lawrence airport before last Friday occurred two and one-half years ago, Bartholomew said.
The air safety investigator of the National Transportation Safety Board said last weekend that Potter's plane had no mechanical problems. A final decision on the cause of the Friday crash will not be made for about seven months.
"A plane got caught in a cross wind trying to take off and was blown across the runways," he said. "It didn't even get under ground, and it flipped over in the dirt."
He said the passengers were not hurt in the accident.
A plane owned by the University of Kansas was damaged in 1973 when its landing gear buckled while landing at the airport.
The plane was used for research by the School of Engineering. Two men were in the plane, but neither were hurt.
