University Daily Kansan, January 30, 1981 Page 7 Legal Services to continue By KATHRYN KASE Staff Reporter An 11th-hour hiring of an interim attorney yesterday insured that the Student Legal Services will continue to operate despite today's departure of the current attorney, Steve Ruddick. Jerry Harper, a local attorney in private practice, was hired yesterday by the Student Legal Services Board as an intern. He also was possibly March, Steve Leben, chairman of the Legal services Board, said. "He'll be here at least through the month of February until we hire the permanent attorney," Leben said. Other person start by early March." Rudick leaves Legal Services today to become the associate general counsel at the University of Kansas Medical Center. He has been the Legal Services attorney since his program's inception in March 1979. 1819. Harper, who will be paid $1,000 a month by the Legal Services Board, begins the intern job immediately. He will work at the Legal Services office two days a week, Leben said. "It shouldn't be any problem since it's only for a month or two and we have four law students in the program," he said. "The law student doesn't always approve from an attorney, but this way, if a student feels the need for immediate court action, Jerry would be able to handle it." Unlike the search for Ruddick's permanent replacement, the Legal Services Board did not take appearance or interim attorney聘, Leben said. "I went to see people in the local legal community for recommendations about attorneys who would be eligible for this job," he said. The was recommended to me and we approached him about the job." Harper said he accepted the temporary position because it fit into his schedule. Should the permanent attorney selection process be maintained, anticipated, Harper would continue his interim role into March, he said. "Should that situation arise, I think we'll be able to deal with that."

By GENE GEORGE Staff Reporter But Assistant Attorney General Brad Smooth, an opponent to the bill, said not only was the representative James Lowther, R-Emporia, trying to shoot down the law, but he also was using "a gun" in the situation called for a meaheader. THE KANSAS ASSOCIATION of School Boards asked Lowther to introduce the law, allowing him to define the law interfered with teacher contract negotiations. The present open meetings law requires that a majority of a quorum must be present to open a meeting to the public. The bill would tighten the restriction to require a full quorum to open a meeting. Smoot said the school board's problems could be solved by changing the state labor negotiation laws. John Kepke, assistant director of the KASB, told the committee that the present open meetings law pressured the school boards for open negotiations because a negotiation team was usually the majority of a quorum. UNDER THE PRESENT law, school board members on the negotiation team could not go into private session to discuss labor tasks. Keepte叫 the carriers.
