Though the pay rate is $6.50 an hour, he said, tutors were told to report having worked 50 percent more hours than they actually had worked. In effect, he said, the tutors' hourly wage increased to $9.75.
Athletic department officials denied the practice occurred.
In October and November, Benson said, he did as he had been told and reported more hours than he actually worked, and was paid $6.50 an hour. He reported — including those he did not work.
In December, however, his check was $120 less than he expected. He said the athletic department had reduced the number of hours he had reported to the number he had actually
worked.
"IT'S WRONG for them to mismanage their budget and then have tutors suffer the consequences." Benson said.
He said the athletic department had agreed to pay the money he claimed it owed him. For reasons he declined to explain, however, he has not pressed them for the money.
McCaul said he had received a "substantial" pay cut in January, but that it was not retroactive. He would not say the amount of the pay cut.
Fisher said department officials told the tutors to report an extra 30 minutes each time they were called in to work so they could prepare for the session. He said some tutors had misunderstood this and had reported more hours than they had worked.
He said, however, that the athletic department had not reduced the number of any tutors.
Another problem, Fisher said, is that last semester tutoring sessions were sometimes held outside the study hall room in the Towers. He said the department could not verify what went on at outside tutoring sessions or how long the sessions lasted.
Hachim said some tutors probably took advantage of the situation to pad their naval skills.
To remedy this problem, all tutoring is now limited to the study hall room at the Towers under the direction of Ms. Sauer.

other for about two years, have different backgrounds but have similar experiences and goals.
Vogel grew up in the suburbs of Overland Park and attended Shawnee Mission South High School.
During high school, she was a pizza parlor waitress, a cashier at a dairy and a receptionist at a restaurant.
HIGHIERGER LIVED on a farm outside Garnett, a "quiet town of about 3,000,"40 miles south of Lawrence. His father sells and repairs farm implements, and his mother is a retired school teacher.
In Garnett, Highberger said, some grade school friends dubbed him "Boog" and the name stuck.
"I could be Dennis if I really tried," Highberger said. "But I like 'Boog.'"
Vogel met Highberger in the summer of 1982 when Highberger lived across the street from her in the Oread Neighborhood.
"We used to spend a lot of time sitting on Boog's couch, 'Oyel said." And Boog would invite me over for dinner.
Both Vogel and Highbjerger are vegetarians because of health and ethical concerns, she said.
"It's healthy and less wasteful," Vogel said. "And it keeps me away from fast-food restaurants."
Vogel and Highberger also share an interest in street theater.
STREET THEATER is a form of spontaneous expression, Vogel said, that allows people to convey their ideas in a creative manner.
For example, she said, one day she and one of Highierer's roommates dressed in formal attire and went to McDonald's for dinner. They spread out a table cloth and l candles. Another friend ordered their food and acted as their waiter.
People can interpret the actions any way they want to. Vogel said.
Neither Vogel nor Highberger said they had
specific career plans following graduation, but both said they wanted to work with people.
Vogel, who last semester earned a degree in psychology, said she enjoyed talking to people on the phone.
SHE WORKED for one year at Headquarters, a local 24-hour crisis center.
Higherberger, who also said he enjoyed counseling, works at Headquarters now.
"I had worked in a counseling role for a long time," he said. "Finally I had enough time and felt comfortable."
Vogel said she planned to leave Lawrence and travel before settling down. This semester she is a special student taking undergraduate hours, said she would take graduate classes in the fall.
"I might try living in the country on a farm and being self-sufficient," he said.
However, Highberger said he did not have any definite plans for the future.

'Grave robbers' search obits for tips on burglary targets
By United Press International
TOPEKA — Shawnee County Sheriff's deputies yesterday credited an alert citizen with a tip that led to the arrest of four people accused of reading newspaper obituaries and then burglarizing homes of family members during funerals.

"We refer to them as the grave robbers.
"The detective division of Shawnee County had a personal interest in the grave robbers," said Sgt. Jerry Federgreen, a police's department detective. "This is getting pretty low when you hit people that just had a death in the family."
Sheriff's investigators said the arrests this week cracked 10 burglary cases. They believed the arrests were in connection with a
They'd read the boundary column, get the information of what time the funeral was," he said. "They would case the places out before they hit them ... get the layout. On the day of the funeral, as soon as the people would leave, they'd go in."

A burglar had taken place in the neighborhood the day the vehicle was spotted, he said.
On Wednesday, sheriff's deputies armed with a search warrant recovered a large amount of stolen goods from a mobile home, Federgreen said.
