Testimony continues today in professor's slander suit
Testimony will continue today in Douglas County District Court in the trial of two former KU research assistants and a professor of anthropology, who are all accused of slender and defamation.
Michael Crawford, professor of anthropology, brought the suit against Henry Lundsgaarde, another professor of anthropology, and the two former research assistants in 1980.
The two former research assistants, Liz Murray and Nancy Sempolski, filed complaints with the University of Kansas and several other agencies in 1977 and 1978 stating that Crawford had misused federal grant money. They also charged that he had conducted himself unethically while researching human subjects in Belize, a Central American country.
He testified that the remark, concerning the reaction of an agency that had received complaints about professionalism against Crawford, was not supported by evidence.
During cross-examination Friday, Scott McNall, professor of sociology, repeated testimony he had given Thursday that Lundsgaarde had told him Crawford would "get what was coming" to him.
The $1.5 million damages trial began March 26. Dale Niklas, Crawford's attorney, told prospective jurors then that testimony could take two weeks.
Computer to help IRS collect taxes
WICHITA — The Internal Revenue Service today will begin using computers to telephone delinquent taxpayers in Kansas to collect nearly $73 million in back taxes.
When a delinquent taxpayer answers one of the computer calls, an IRS official will get on the line to discuss the debt.
the computer just places the call. "Clarence King, district director of the IRS in Wichita, said Friday. "They'll be talking to a live human being."
The computer, he said, will be persistent.
The computer, he said, will be personal.
"If the telephone number is busy, the computer will reschedule for another call in 30 minutes," King said. "If there is no answer, the computer will reschedule the call for later in the day."
He said the new method of collecting taxes would exceed the 58 percent success rate of the former system, which involved IRS employees making all the telephone calls and doing their own paperwork.
The new system, which King said had cost $115 million, will eliminate most paperwork. He also said the computer system would replace about 250 employees. The displaced workers have been transferred to other IRS jobs, have retired or have taken positions with other companies, he said.
Menninger released from hospital
TOPEKA — Renowned psychiatrist Karl Menninger, who was admitted to a hospital last week with bronchial pneumonia, was discharged Saturday.
A hospital spokesman yesterday could not provide further information about Menninger's condition or whether he would undergo any additional treatment.
Menninger, 90, entered Colmery-O'Neil V.A. Medical Center Tuesday night. At the time, a relative said that he had been sick with the flu for a week.
In 1925, Menninger, along with his father, C.F., and his brother, Will, founded the Meninger Clinic in a converted farmhouse on the edge of Tonka. Karl Meninger is the only survivor of the three.
The Menninger Foundation is considered one of the world's largest and foremost psychiatric organizations. It employs nearly 1,000 people.
Topeka cleans up after ice storm
Topeka — About 750 volunteers saved the city $65,000 on Saturday by cleaning up about a quarter of the tree limbs and other debris left from an ice storm almost two weeks ago, a city official said yesterday.
Thirteen days after an ice storm swept through eastern Kansas, leaving thousands without electricity for nearly a week because of snapped power lines, Topeka area residents pitched in to clean up the mess in their city.
"It was a super community effort," said Park Commissioner Harry Felker. If the city had tackled the cleanup by itself, he added, the cost would have been about $250,000.
About 70 city and privately owned vehicles made about 3,000 trips to seven Shawnee County dumps.
