CAMPUS AND AREA
Students serve country and city

Besides taking classes and training to be officers, the 17 Air Force ROTC students in the campus branch of the Army are given the chance to take life better for Lawrence residents.
The society donates its time and energy to serving Lawrence in any way it can, said Bruce Willett, Kansas City, Kan., junior and commander of the campus branch of the society.
The nationwide society is composed of volunteer Air Force ROTC members, he said yesterday. Each branch of the society organizes local projects as well as works on a national project.
Willett said that in the past, the campus branch of the society had served the community by supporting Mothers Against Drunk Drivers and
helping to organize last year's PQW-MIA week.
This year, the 17 members of the KU society are working with juvenile delinquents through the Douglas County District Court, he said.
ROBERT MULHERAN, Derby senior who is in charge of Arnold Air Society operations, said students in junior high or high school were tutored them the society, which them tutored them and tried to teach them good values.
"It's something to show the kids they can better themselves and not just run around on the streets," he said.
Willett said one girl was in her last semester of high school and had no desire to finish her education. The society is trying to teach her the value of an education by placing her with someone who will give her personal help with her studies, he said.
The society not only tutors the students, but also tries to encourage them in other activities. This semester, the members are trying to arrange flight trips for the students, and the students went on a camping trip, he said.
BARBARA PRATT, San Antonio,
Texas, junior and deputy commander
of the society, said the society
was promoting the National Tuberous Sclerosis Association as their
national service project this year.
Mulheran said the KU society might work with Kansas State University on the project, but plans not to be definite until later this spring.
Willett said the organization was managed by students, but did have an adviser, Air Force Capt. David Dawson, a professor of aerospaces studies.
"I try to stay out of it as much as possible," Johnson said.
Settlement to go before council
By MICHAEL TOTTY Staff Reporter
Last December's settlement in a lawsuit involving two KU anthropology professors, a graduate student and a former graduate student will go before the State Council today for approval.
The council is composed of Gov. John Carlin, who acts as chairman, and the legislative leadership, which includes the majority and minority leaders of the Kansas House and Senate, the speaker of the House and the president of the Senate.
The suit, filed in 1890 by Michael Crawford, professor of anthropol-ography against James Lundsgardas also a governor of Virginia Elizabeth Murray, Lawrence
graduate student; and former graduate student Nancy Sempolski, was settled last December out of court.
Because Lundsgaard was defended as a state employee under the Tort Claims Act, the settlement would be paid by the state. Before it is paid, the council must approve the settlement.
THE COUNCIL usually meets to dispense state money when the Legislature is not in session. The Tort Claims Act, which covers suits against the state, requires that the finance council approve claims against state employees.
Bruce Miller, deputy attorney general, said that if the finance council rejected the settlement, it could be returned to court for trial.
One of the conditions of the
settlement requires that it remain confidential.

Crawford, in his suit, alleged that Lundsgaarde, Murray and Sempolski had slandered him and asked for $1.5 million in damages. The suit was filed in response to complaints by the two graduate students that Crawford had used unethical medical and research practices during a research trip to the Central American country of Belize in 1976.
IN SEPTEMBER, the two graduate students filed a suit in Federal District Court in Topeka against Crawford, several other professors and Frances Horwitz, vice chancellor of research and graduate studies. Their suit alleged that they had been harassed after filing their initial complaints.
