Vote postponed on advising changes
By KEVIN LEATHERS Staff Reporter
The lack of a quorum yesterday prevented a vote by the Liberal Arts and Sciences College Assembly over freshman sapmophone advising systems.
After nearly an hour of debate by the assembly, a member of the audience told Robert Lineberry, assembly chairman and dean of the College, that the committee lacked a quorum.
A quorum is half of the committee's members plus one. According to assembly rules, at least 91 members must be present. Only
about 50 members were at the meeting.
During the meeting, the assembly discussed a recommendation by the Committee on Undergraduate Studies and Advising to abolish the freshman sophomore advising system. The committee would allow continuing freshmen and sophomores to advise themselves when choosing courses.
STUDENTS NOW are required to get a faculty member's signature on their enrollment cards before they may obtain a dean's stamp and enroll.
take action on the proposal until its next meeting in April.
Unless a special meeting is called by Lineberry, the assembly will not
"We need to get this proposal passed," said Abbott Cook, associate professor of English. "The CUSA proposal is flawed, but the current system is a disaster. We just don't have the luxury of waiting around until April for the next meeting to get this thinned pass."
THE NEW SYSTEM, which would go into effect this fall if adopted, would provide faculty advising only for freshmen and sophomores who want it. The advising would be done through department where it also would include a newly created board of advisers consisting of about 50 to 60
faculty members and a central advising center.
New students, however, still would be required to consult an adviser before enrolling in the College.
All students, whether self-advised or not, would go through a final dean's stamp checkpoint staffed by graduate teaching assistants. The teaching assistants would be trained checkers who would approve schedules and refer any problems to the advising center.
Michael Young, associate dean of the College, said the current system had proved unsatisfactory because it required all students to seek advice whether they needed it or not.
Man surrenders after shootings
Thiel Lawton, 43, Topeka, was taken into custody about 11:55 a.m. after he allegedly shot two police officers with a knife in a disturbance call at the home of his parents.
By United Press International
TOPEKA — A man who allegedly shot two police officers yesterday and barricaded himself and his mother in an east topeka residence surrendered peacefully after keeping day for four hours, authorities said.
People surrounded the house after Sgt. Pat Reed, 36, and Officer William Horn, 30, were shot about 7 a.m., said police Capt. Duane Tegehoff. About six houses in the surrounding area were evacuated.
Reed and Horn were sent to the house to respond to a domestic disturbance report reported by the suspect's father, Tegethoff said. The suspect's father did not stay in the house.
A spokeswoman for Stormont-Vail Regional Medical Center said Horn had suffered a shotgun wound to the left side of his neck and shotgun wounds his neck and ear.
Horn was expected to be released from the hospital late yesterday, the spokeswoman said. Reed was schedled for surgery yesterday afternoon.
Police said Lawton probably would be charged with one count of attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault. His first appearance is scheduled for this
morning in Shawnee County District Court
Lawton, wearing a yellow blanket, walked out of the house with his back up. He was before noon, he was unarmed, and he and his mother were not injured.
Police spokesman Bud Brooks said that no one incident apparently had provoked Lawton to take his mother hostage and fire at police.
DeMoss said Lawton was standing at the front door of the residence when he allegedly shot Reed and Horn, who were on the front lawn near the sidewalk. The officers were shot without warning. DeMoss said
Reed fell to the ground after he was struck, tried to get up and then may have been shot a second time, DeMoss said.
