The date was set at a pre-trial conference to discuss the suit in Douglas County District Court. A Douglas County district court judge decided to dismiss the case.
The trial is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. in Douglas County District Court. Ralph M. King Jr. will be the presiding judge.

New ASK head to be named today
The new KU on-campus director for the Associated Students of Kansas is expected to be announced today.
Two more people applied for the position yesterday, the last day to apply, bringing the total number of applicants to four.
Wes Naylor, McClean, Va., sophomore, and Jan Shannon, Miltonvale senior, filed applications yesterday.
Naylor and Shannon, along with Pat Levy, Wichita sophomore, and Chris Edmonds, Topeka sophomore, will be interviewed by the ASK state staff today and the staff will choose a director.
Court refuses to rehear faculty case
The case involved Pittsburgh State University, whose faculty is represented by Kansas-National Education Association. The court ruled in July that the Board of Regents was the legal employer of the faculty and had to deal directly with faculty unions.
The Kansas Supreme Court Wednesday ruled 5-2 against reconsidering its July decision that the Board of Regents must negotiate with faculty unions at Regents universities.
In the July ruling, the court listed eight areas that the Regents had to consider open to negotiation: tenure procedures, salaries, salary programs of state travel expenses, influence in promotions, summer employment program or department cutbacks or elimination, and access to personal files.
A court spokesman said the justices issued no opinion in declining to rehear the case.
Trash bags of marijuana discovered
A hunter discovered 10 trash bags full of marijuana about 11 a.m. Wednesday in the southwest corner of the Clinton Lake area, Douglas County Sheriff's officers said yesterday.
The marijuana was found in a public area of Black Hat Ranch, officers said.
Officers did not estimate the value of the marijuana. No arrests have been made and there are no suspects.
ON THE RECORD
LAWRENCE POLICE are looking for a teen-ager who is thought to have stolen $25 around 4 p.m. Wednesday from the residence of a man confined to a wheelchair. The man told police that he had allowed the teen-ager into his home because the teen had asked to use the bathroom. After the teen-ager left, the man noticed that $25 that had been on a dining room table was missing. Police described the suspect as a black male about 5-feet-6 who weighed about 125 pounds.

Some local critics of Reagan join Socialist group
By ANA DEL CORRAL Staff Reporter
Chris Bell, 1526 Vermont St. found himself developing an increasing dislike of the Reagan administration's economic policies.
"I am a blue-collar worker and, personally, they were very frustrating to me." he said yesterday.
Bell said that Reagan's economic, domestic and foreign policies were alienating an increasing number of people.
So in April he decided to do something about it. Bell, 31, joined the Democratic Socialists of America, an organization that recently began a campaign about the shame.
1982 when the Democratic Socialist Organization Committee merged with the American League of Communists.
The national DSA began in March
Dean Braa, one of four co-organizers for the local group, said the chapter began in April. So far the group has enlisted about 25 members.
THE ORGANIZATION PROMOTES a kind of socialism different from the European and the Soviet models, said Braa, a Lawrence graduate student.
Nationwide, he said, the DSA has about 13,000 members.

We are very critical of the Soviet agents, Brena said. "We are not KGB agents."
He said there was a common misconception that anyone claiming to be a socialist or a communist had to favor the Soviets.
And he said the DSA was radically

opposed to any kind of party dictatorship such as those of the governments in the Soviet Union, China and Cuba.
BUT HE DOESN'T think there is true representation of the people in the Reagan government either, he said.
"We want none of this backroom manipulation." Brena said. "We want everyone."

IN ITS OFFICIAL newsletter, the DSA said, "We are the new socialists, fighting the cruel, unworkable policies of Ronald Reagan by working to build a new American left that will go far beyond traditional liberalism."
think that a system that is based on private profit and undue corporate power of America would work."
Braa said that although he could not speak officially for the organization's stands on Central American issues, he has seen a shift in the military involvement in the region.
He said that for democracy to work, people had to be aware of what the government did.
"One of the things that has to be done in the United States," he said, "is concern."
The DSA is interested in creating a government of the working class, he said.
"We oppose the repressive policies of the New Right," Brana said. "We don't."
