AAUP sets date for forum on athletic-academic issue
The potential conflict between athletics and academics will be one of the issues discussed at a forum March 29 sponsored by the KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors, the association's president said yesterday.
The idea for the forum on athletics and academics arose after a conflict between basketball coach Larry Brown and David Katzman, a history professor. Katzman said that Brown had asked him to raise the failing grade of point guard Cedric Hunter.
The forum, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union, will deal with how the athletic department and other groups affect the academic quality of the University of Kansas, said Grant Goodman, the AAUP's president.

SenEx-gathered data to help decide future of grade board
The University Senate Executive Committee yesterday decided to collect information on grade complaints made at the University of Kansas to help the University Council reach a decision on a proposal for a grade appeals board.
By the Kansan Staff
A grade appeals board would give students recourse for getting a grade changed if the board decided the grade was unfair. Under current policy, only the course instructor can change a grade.
James Carothers, chairman of SenEx, said information about the number of complaints made each year and the nature of those complaints, would indicate the kinds of problems a grade appeals board might have to address.
Arno Knapper, a professor of business and SenEx member, said the number of complaints wouldn't determine whether an appeals board was needed, which might help faculty members decide how much to support such a proposal.
"I'd like to know, are we dealing with something where there are two or three horror stories in a year or is it a widespread problem," Carothers said.
SenEx will ask William Balfour, KU
ombudsman, to attend next week's
meeting to explain what kinds of grade
complaints he receives each year.
Carothers said he would ask Gil Carohrs, the dekan of educational services, about the number of letter grades that Carothers had planned to assume. Carothers also said he planned some of the deans of schools about grade complaints they have received.
GSP painting found at Wescoe
A painting valued at $5,000 that was stolen recently from the lobby of Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall was found on the rear steps of Wescoe Hall Friday, University of Kansas police said.
KU police said a worker in the
building found the painting. The police have no power to
break up the painting.
By the Kansan Staff
The Kansan received a ransom call
Thursday asking for $5,000 in exchange
for the painting. However, the caller gave no instructions for a transaction
The landscape painting, 34 inches by
40 inches, titled "Mount San Jacinto,
A Desert Landscape."
J.J. Wilson, KU director of housing,
said the painting was not seriously damaged.
The theft has prompted GSP officials to adopt a policy to make more frequent visits.
The painting will now be taken to Kansas City to be cleaned and then will be returned to GSP.
City teachers pleased by pay-raise prospects
BY STEPHANIE HEARN

Lawrence teachers were sur-
surised when the state Senate passed
a bill Tuesday that could raise
the minimum wage to $15.60 per
month of 10.25 percent next year.
"This bill is much better than what the governor had proposed," said the president of the Lawrence Education Association.
Doran Chaput, the association's president and a teacher at Grant Elementary School, Route 3, said that Lawrence teachers were upset that Kansas Gov. John Carlin had not proposed a larger increase.
"CARLIN TOLD US that he hadn't proposed more because he didn't think he'd got more." Chancellor said.
Carlin recommended a 9.75 percent average increase to the Legislature last month.
Carlin was pleased with the Senate's proposal, his press secretary, Michael Swenson said.
Swenson also said that the same Legislature that proposed this plan had ignored a similar one that Carlin had proposed a year ago.
The bill, which was sent to the House yesterday, recommends an increase of $13.1 million in general state aid, which would provide a total of $151.7 million to the state's 305 school districts.
The recommended $51.3 million
may be reduced in the House because other state programs also need financial support, said Don Crumbaker, R-Brewster, chair of the committee.
The bill also proposed that school districts raise property taxes to cover their budgets. State-wide school property taxes could go up
Judy Henderson, a teacher at Lawrence High School, 2017 Louisiana St. said she that was overjoyed at the Senate's passage of the bill
"I'm surprised, but I think it's very commendable that legislators realize our need." she said.
THE AVERAGE TEACHER'S salary in Kansas, $19,600, is $2,300 below the national average.
"I know a 10-percent raise sounds good, but the longer we go under the average, the harder it is to catch up," he said.
The proposed 10 percent increase doesn't even come close to approaching the average, said Darrell Kelley, an instructor at Lawrence High School for 16 years.
"I don't think Kansas teachers are less than average — in fact, I think they're better."
ONE OF TWO ways that the Senate proposed making more money available for teacher's salaries was taking interest money from general funds that are now used for special and vocational education.
