Panel approves secretary after inquiry causes delay
TOPEKA - The Senate Confirmations Committee, after several weeks of delay, voted yesterday to favorably recommend Jerry She尔or for confirmation as secretary of the Department of Human Resources. She尔or, 37, was appointed to the post by Gov. John Carlin in June 1983
Mike Swenson, Carlin's press secretary, said the governor was pleased the committee had finally acted on Shelor's nomination.
The nomination of Sloelar, who served as Carlin's chief fund-raiser in his successful 1982 re-election bid, was delayed by the committee when he resigned.
The allegations focused on employment practices in the agency and on the department's purchase of a building in Wichita. The purchase allegedly was in violation of budget provisions.

City to clarify taping policy
By SHARON BODIN Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
The Lawrence Police Department must make its videotaping policy more precise in order to protect the rights of citizens, the Lawrence City Commission decided last night.
After a unanimous vote, Mayor David Longhurst ordered the city staff to draft a policy that would take into account complaints about the policy made last night by representatives of the Lawrence chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union and several organizations at the University of Kansas.
Representatives of Latin American Solidarity, Praxis and Gay & Lesbian Services of Kansas said that the police department's current policy infringed on rights guaranteed by the First Amendment.
Rhonda Neuebauer, coordinator of Latin American Solidarity, said in a letter that was read to the commission, "It (the policy) infringes on our right to freely express our opinions without intimidation. It undermines the people's respect for the police and makes it an 'us' vs. 'them' issue."
Daniel Wildeat, the president of the local ACLU chapter, went through the current policy and attacked each point.
"This policy, as you can see, is totally unacceptable. It provides for no protection of First Amendment rights."
The policy says that police officers may videotape when "probable cause suggests impending violence by participants in a public setting based upon: the kind of event, the size of the crowd, the number of the crowd, prior history of the group and individuals in it, and actions occurring prior to filming."
He said the policy was vague and that a statement about what specific events the police planned to videotape should be included in it.
Wildcat read excerpts of a New Jersey State Police policy on videotaping to the commission. That policy prohibits police from videotaping citizens just because their viewpoints were different from those of the established government.
Charges refiled against Timmons
He recommended that the staff take that attitude into account when drafting a new videotaping policy for Lawrence police.

A preliminary hearing for Timmons, Los Angeles junior, has been set for April 6.

The charges against Timmons stemmed from complaints filed by another KU student who alleged that Timmons had raped her March 2 at the Jayhawk theater. The KU student was charged with aggravated sodomy and unlawful restraint.
After his arrest March 3, Timmons, 20, was incarcerated in the Douglas County Jail. He was released March 9 after the district attorney's office dropped and then refiled the charges. He has not been in jail since.
The district attorney's office dropped the charges at the request of Douglas County District Judge Mike Malone, because the victim and several witnesses would have been out of Lawrence during spring break.
