Civil Service Workers Hope to Punchout with Higher Pay
There were few salary increases since 1970, said personnel director Philip Rankin . . .
KU, Local 1132 Share Budget Woes
By ROBERT E DUNCAN Kansan Staff Writer
Cancellor E. L. Laurence Chalmers Jr. said Wednesday that the primary concern of the classified civil service workers in Iraq is the international Union of North America, coined with a primary concern of the military Kansas—the tiger money situation.
Localized 1132, led by Chief Steward Blanche Nitz, consists of voluntary members from nonprofit organizations in the Kansas Union, the University, and grounds, the University house office and University secretariat
A priority item of the union is the present wage deficiency for personnel members. Members of Local Lloyd Roof, business manager, distributed leaflets and talked to legislators last week about wage.
THE STATE of Kansas has not officially recognized a union as a
collective bargaining agent for the KU chapter in agencies, therefore, the KU chapter is attempting to act as an unofficial voice of the University.
He said that since November 1970, most classified personnel had received no salary increases.
Phil Rankin, director of personnel, said that to gain a wage increase the problem must be made before the state legislators.
The union, Nitz said, wasn't given any encouragement in Topека last week for wage increases.
Martin Jones, University budget officer, said it was substantially true that classified civil service employees of the university are of what some other state agencies were paying their classified personnel. Jones said this fact was due to the lack of response by the legislature to the University for salaries.
OTHER COMPLAINTS of the
The University has listened to these complaints and allows the use of bulletin boards to notify students of Local 1132 meetings, she said.
Plans for a seniority system for University workers. Nitz said, were "under discussion."
KU chapter of Local 1132 are the understaffed conditions in the University housing cafeterias, the need for better on-the-job training and the need for better supervisor-employee relationships. Nitz said.
Rankin said he had several meetings with representatives of the union.
"The union is helping us to think of some things we haven't been thinking of," he said.

LONDON - The toll of JOBLESS approached three million Wednesday because of the power crisis and Britons were told to expect even more hours without lights and heat. But a bright spot appeared. An independent inquiry into the coal miners' strike that has forced electricity cuts came to an end and its members promised to recommend a pay settlement by Friday.
THE BOMBING OF POLICE AND FIRE HEADQUARTERS in Manchester, N.H., Wednesday has been linked by the state attorney general to plans to blow up the New Hampshire primary headquarters of President Nixon.

TOPEKA- The Kansas House gave its endorsement to two of the more controversial issues it will face in this session. The House passed 87-38 and sent to the senate a resolution which would place on the election ballot in November a constitutional amendment to remove the ban on LOTTERIES. If the voters approved the ban, no voter could vote if all the proceeds were earmarked for education. The House also gave preliminary voice approval to a House REAPPORTIONMENT plan, which will come up for a final vote this morning.

AURH Meeting Helps Improve Communication
administration. Rankin said.
ONE MEMBER of the union said some employees feared that they joined the union they would lose their jobs.
Twenty-seven delegates from the University of Kansas attended the Association of University Residence Halls (URH) conference Feb. 11 at Kansas State Teachers College in Emporia.
Students meeting in small groups discussed ideas on hall regulations. Several sessions discussed the current financial conditions.
THE KUE DELEGATION led by Mike Sundermeyer, Raytown, Mo., junior and president of KU'S AURH, sponsored a seminar on influencing legislators to grant more funds to higher education.
The legislators planning to attend are Sen Joseph Harder, Bailman, Steadman Ball, Bail, R-Achison, Robinson, R-Wichita. Rep James Cain, R-Garnett. Rep James Cain, R-Garnett. Rep John Vogel, R-Lawrence.
As a result, KU living groups invited state legislators to dinner and informal discussions. One such gathering took place p.m. Thursday in Templin Hall.
Nitz said there was no reason for the existence of that fear.
"POSSIBLY THERE IS some confusion in the legislators' minds as to what students think," Beiser said.
Sundermeyer said Monday that he thought the financial problems at UCLA were not universities, and welfare would be the major topics discussed at his talk.
Beinser said he hoped the dinner would increase communication among students and legislators.
HE SAID that four other legislators might attend the dinner in addition to the six already committed.
John Beisner, Salina freshman and coordinator of the dinner, said Wednesday that he expected at least six legislators to attend.
Students living in University residence halls were also used to discuss their concerns informally with the legislators over the
He said he hoped students could feel they were being heard, and legislators would become aware of what the students thought.
"I was hoping for a few more," Beisner said, "but we were happy with the number we did get."
