Company asks federal court to set aside award to Craft
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The former owner of a Kansas City television station recently asked a federal judge to set aside a $500,000 award given to the station's former television newswoman Christine Craft, who had charged the company with fraud.
Attorneys for Metromedia Inc. of Secaucus, N.J., filed a motion Monday asking that the award be set aside, or another trial be granted or Craft be required to remit all or part of the actual damages awarded to her.
A jury in August rulen in favor of Craft, 38, on two charges in her $1.2 million civil suit against Metromedia. She received the $500,000 award with the verdict on fraud, and the jury issued an advisory ruling on the sex discrimination charge. She did not win on an equal pay issue.

Off-campus work-study program not used Official says career-related jobs are open
By CHRISTY FISHER Staff Reporter
While student employment applications pile up at area businesses, 60 to 90 other jobs remain unfilled, a KU financial aid official said yesterday.
Pam Houston, coordinator for the student employment center, said that hundreds of students were eligible for off-campus employment in career-related fields through the State Work-Study Program.
LAST YEAR, THE Kansas Legislature passed a bill to allocate $21,000 to the program. The money is to be distributed through the Board of Regents' institutions and Washburn University.
KU has been allocated $89,000 to pay 50 percent of the salary for each student who participates in the program, Houston said.
"We haven't used any of the money yet and we haven't placed one person in any of the businesses that are interested." said Houston.
The Associated Students of Kansas proposed the measure to supplement student income after several federal financial programs had been cut.
"We felt is was important that the state take on the financial responsibility of the federal government." He explained, KU on-campus director of ASK.
Houston said there were several differences between the federal work force and the civilian workforce.
"This program is different from federal work study because the work is career-related, off-campus and the student's hourly wage is not re-
stricter," Houston said. "In the federal program, the money must be used for on-campus, minimum wage employment."
TO APPLY FOR the program,
students do not have to be receiving
financial aid, but they must be eligible
to receive it. If they have not filed for
financial aid, they will fill out an ACT
family financial aid packet and send a
copy of their 1040 tax forms to the office
of financial aid, Houston said.
Students interested in the program should contact the Student Employment Center, which will try to locate an individual who has a job in the student's field of study.
"We also encourage students to sell himself or herself to an employer that they would like to work for." Houston said.
Houston cited another of the advantages for a student who gets a job through the State Work-Study Program.
"The jobs might pay higher wages because off-campus jobs are not restricted to minimum wage," she said.
ADVANTAGES ALSO exist for the employer, she said.
Since the program has just begun, financial aid officials are worried that they will not use all the money and possibly lose the program.
Besides providing the business with a new employee for half the price, Houston said, businesses would be benefited by training the future work
Jerry Rogers, director of financial aid, said, "We hope we can get this going strong enough. It isn't something that can be developed overnight."
State to restore half of Regents' cuts, Winter says
By the Kansan Staff
The Kansas Legislature will be receptive to restoring half of the across-the-board cuts in the Board of Regents institutions' budgets that were made in fiscal 1983, a state senator said yesterday.
State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, said the Regents recommendations in June to restore, by fiscal year 1985, half of the 4 percent budget
cuts mandated by Gov. John Carlin last year was realistic.
However, he said, the new funds would not necessarily be re-allocated to departments that suffered budget cuts. Most of the money will be allocated to college of Liberal Arts and Sciences and "high-tech" programs, he said.
ONE OF CARLIN'S primary goals, Winter was, was to do more for education. He said he didn't think Carlin would propose any further
budget cuts for institutions of higher learning.
"He's not an ax man, but he had a tough job last year." Winter told the editorial board of the Kansan staff. "He had to him as an enemy of education at all."
He said that although some of the budget would be restored, degree and program duplication among Regents institutions still needed to be studied.
Winter said the emphasis should be on the quality of programs, not the
number of schools that offer a particular program.
"Not every town and every region can have a graduate program in computer science, shifting the quality of graduate degree programs by spreading them out.
"We just don't have the money."
A FACTION IN THE Legislature wants to mandate program consolidation, he said, but that responsibility belongs to board of Regents, not the Legislature.
