Strike Settlement Remains Vague
By RICHARD COOLEY Kansan Staff Writer
Although the walkout of University of Kansas civil service employees ended almost two weeks ago, the terms of the settlement they negotiated with the administrators are still not known.
When the workers returned to their jobs on March 1, it was announced that a "mutual understanding" had been reached between the administration and representatives of the Classified Office Employees Union. Local 1132 led the dayy walkout.

The terms of the agreement reportedly centered on a conference issued Feb. 25 by Chancellor E Laurence Chalmers Jr. regarding University policy on student-athletes in the union during the walkout.

of town and had not been able to give attention to the matter. Nitcher said that Monday the statement should be released this week.
Blanche Nitz, chief steward of the local union, said Monday that she did not know why there had been a delay in her administration in releasing the statement. She said the original statement was incomplete because it dealt with only seven grevances behind the walkout.

Adviser to Study KUMC Courses
Dr. Russell J. Ellers, professor of pathology at the University of Kansas Medical Center, has been named a special consultant to Dr. William O. Rieke, vice admins of the Medical Center.
"We feel especially fortunate that Dr. Eilers has agreed to undertake this study," Rieke said. "His longstanding interest in medical and allied health is well known, many contacts and strong state and national reputation make him especially well qualified."

"The union's demands had been presented for eight months," she said. They were presented again to the Administration in the office of the president, but before the press quoted the administration as saying they didn't know what we wanted.
Eilers will conduct an intensive national study of the feasibility of developing a unified health curriculum at the Medical Center.
Nitz also said that Chalmers had told news media after the walkout but began that he had not spoken. He listened to a list of demands by the union.
In regard to the Chancellor's policy statement of Feb. 25, Nizir was the only one to incomplete most of its provisions were, in her opinion, unreasonable.
THE CHANCELLOR'S statement clarified University policy in seven areas relating to civil service employees; safety, overtime rotation, promotion and transfer, work classification, schedules, eating facilities and grievance procedure
Eilers was named "Pathologist of the Year" by the College of American Pathologists and the American Society of Clinical Pathology. He met in Boston in October. He also is a board member and the American secretariat of the International Committee for Pathology and a member of the World Association of Pathology Societies.
Eilers will spend much of the next year visiting universities studying various experimental curricula.
Eilers joined the Medical Center faculty in -1857 as an associate professor of pathology. He received his Ph.D. in clinical pathology laboratories of the medical technology training department and administates begin July 1.
Nitz criticized the wording of several of the provisions. For example, the provision relating to assignment is "assignment of employees to work assignments of a different classification shall be based on a good faith demand" and stipulates that employers must "from 'changes in organization'."
Nitz charged that wording left workers unaware of any job, regardless their classification, as long as they could justify its basis.
She also criticized the provision regarding weekend work schedules which stated that employees should be made on a rotation basis and posted in each work area." Nitz said that in many cases周末 work was unnecessary and that employees do nothing but waste time.
"THE ONLY value that weekend work has is to save the University money," she said.
the weekend schedules were begin, she said, only after provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act be paid time and a half for work performed in excess of 40 hours per week. Under the present conditions, her work on weekends are given to her during the week to insure that
Whitman Says Rise in Prices Will Subside
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Nixon administration expects the post-freeze inflation builge to subside by Easter. But, if it doesn't, new ways to slow the price rise will be tried, the new head of President Nixon's Economic Advisers said Tuesday.
Marina Whitman, who was sworn in Monday as the first woman member of the council, told newsmen the price-control system could be tightened to address the problem areas where prices have risen too rapidly or other action could be taken.
Commission Leader Urges Involvement

"We are open to all suggestions and ideas for next year's commission and encourage all women to get involved," Mary Mitchelson, Baxter Springs Chairman of the Commission president of the Commission on the Status of women, said Monday.
Mitchelson, a member of this year's publicity committee, replaced Casky Easek, Kansas City, M.D., commission president for 1972-73.
Mitchison said there would be a place for anyone interested in her, and she had asked as president she saw herself as a director of the commission.

"None of this money is used for defense," said Schwartz. "It's all used for humanitarian purposes, such as schools and medical aid."

"The hierarchical structure of the commission is not important," Mitchelson said. He intends to come from the work organization. I have no definite idea I am trying to impose. As many women as there are that I will deal with." Mitchelson said.
She said the role of the commission at KU was to meet the needs and interests of women.
"This extends," she said, "as far as women make it evident to us."
Next year Mitchelson hopes the commission will take a more active role in issues that involve women and take stands on them. The commission will be basically the same as this year but with some changes, because the commission's programs will cover a wider spectrum, she said.
Mitchelson urged anyone interested to apply for committee positions throughout the year.
Nitz said the University's policy on overtime rotation was also unfair, because it stated that the policy of distributing such assignments is "when the University becomes aware that overtime assignments are necessary hours or less, and assignments are to be worked."
they do not exceed 40 hours. Nitz said she thought the plan violated the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Appointed treasurer for next year was Romi Ehrenburg, then a member of the 12 committees also met last night on the commission board for next year.
The "In-house" procedure
She said the provision, in effect, gives supervisors a free hand in assigning overtime work because they could always claim that they were not aware of the assignment until the last minute. University officials have explained University's policy on grievance procedure, which stated that the procedure "will be utilized after completion of the procedure has been exhausted."
refers to the worker's right to present his grievance to his immediate supervisor, who then discusses it with the foreman.
"When the complaint is against the foreman, it is unlikely that the matter will go much further once it gets to him." Nitz said.
Nitz said that she thought many workers involved in the walkout worked well, but what had been accomplished by the negotiations and that the administration had added to the walkout agreements and statements. She also thought press coverage of the walkout biased against the workers.
Nitz said she hoped formal meetings would continue, although the future role of union leaders in the administration was unclear.
"I would like to continue meeting with them on a personal basis once a month," she said.
