SenEx to review policy discontinuance
By DONNA WOODS Staff Reporter
The University Senate Executive Committee yesterday received a proposal for a program discontinuance policy submitted by a temporary SenEx committee and will review the proposal at a meeting next week.
Because of the complex and sensitive nature of program discontinuance, SenEx members also suggested calling a meeting of the University Senate to other review the proposal. However, no action was taken on that suggestion.
Several KU officials have stressed, however, that the University governance system should act quickly in reviewing the policy.
IN A LETTER addressed to the temporary committee on program discontinuance, Marylee Brochmann.
associate professor of social welfare, said she was concerned with the speed in which the proposal had moved through the various drafting stages.
The executive board of the KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors concurred with Brochmann's opinion.
Sidney Shapiro, professor of law and vice president of the board, said Tuesday that more time should be allowed for consideration of the pro-
SenEx chairman James Carothers said that although the policy should move expediently, the committee had decided if they were under deadline pressure.
Carothers said faculty members had expressed concern that the Board of Regents would make program discon- mentations at its October meeting.
However, a SenEx policy for
program discontinuance would not be applicable to a Regents' decision to discontinue a program, he said.
"WHAT WE'RE WORKING toward here is a statement and policy that will go for internal procedures," he said.
Stanley Kopilk, executive director of the Regents, said that although the proposed policy would give the Regents' an indication of what policies would be acceptable to KU faculty members, the Regents' would develop their own policy concerning program discontinuance.
He said it would be premature to say whether there would be any program discontinuance recommendations on program reviews this summer.
This summer the Regents reviewed the architecture and urban design, engineering and physical science programs at the University of Kansas. Carothers said.
Block grants to aid repair of Oread sidewalks
By BRUCE F. HONOMICHL Staff Renorter
Staff Reporter
Members of the Oread Neighborhood Association hope that a new sidewalk-improvement plan financed by a community grant will help their neighborhood.
However, about two-thirds of Oread neighborhood landowners will be unable to participate because they are absentee landlords whose yearly earnings are probably too high to make them eligible, Jeff Southard, 1305 Tennessee St. and a member of the association, said Tuesday.
According to a Lawrence city ordinance, the city may require landowners to repair their sidewalks within a specified number of days. If the landowners fail to do so, and the city deems a sidewalk need of repairs, the city can repair the sidewalk at the owner's expense.
SOUTHARD SAID THAT the $5,000 allocated for the project might not be enough to fix all the damaged sidewalks. He prepared a report on the condition of Oread neighborhood sidewalks during the summer for presentation to the Lawrence City Commission.
Countyland
Louisiana's survey, conducted on Louisiana, Ohio, Vermont, Tennessee and Kentucky streets between Ninth and 14th streets, reported that some sidewalks were more than 50 percent damaged and needed repair.
But Southard said that in a lot of cases, only one or two slabs were damaged. In those cases, fixing the sidewalk would cost $150, he said.
To qualify for either a block grant or a home-improvement loan at 8.75 percent interest, for which the requirements are the same, a family of two could earn no more than $19,812 yearly. A family of three could earn no
more than $22,312, according to a newsletter distributed by the organization.
About one-fifth of Oread's residents are elderly, and most probably would qualify for block grants or improvement loans because of low income, he
George Williams, director of public works for the city, said that the ordinance against neglecting a sidewalk, if the landowner could afford to fix the sidewalk, would continue to be enforced.
THE POLICY OF charging residents who do not repair their sidewalks is not a new one, according to one city official.
"We plan to attack the problem areas in sections and hope to continue to attack the problem. Actually, we don't get more than three weeks after we reach a year and none in the last year about the Oread neighborhood," Williams said.
Vans to bring alcohol tests to city streets
By United Press International
WICHITA — Arrests of drunk drivers were up by about 400 percent this year over last year, and police said yesterday that they planned to increase efforts with two alcohol vans financed by a federal grant.
The Wichita Police Department yesterday officially unveiled two Breath Alcohol Testing vans made possible by an $800,000 grant.
The vans can be dispatched to locations where police officers already have stopped a driver on suspicion of driving under the influence. The vans contain a machine that analyzes breath alcohol content.
"It now will take the officer hopefully less than 45 minutes." Wichita Police Chief Richard Lau-Munyon said. If a driver is found to be drunk, the van driver takes over and assists an individual to the police department.
Wichita police have arrested almost 1,200 people through August on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol — DUI compared to 68 at this time last year, LaMunyon said.
The $800,000 grant also provides additional money for salaries of officers involved in enforcement of DUI laws, and videotape equipment to film drunk drivers involved in serious accidents for evidence in court.
Police are investigating the possibility of expanding the program so a drunk driver could be arrested and booked at the scene, then released to a responsible individual for transportation home, La Munyoo said.
Farm data to be gathered Private firms to run satellites
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — A partnership of companies dedicated to commercializing space yesterday became the first to announce plans to operate private Earth-resources satellites beginning in 1986.
The satellite data on crop yields and soil moisture will be particularly useful to agriculture interests around the world, officials told reporters, because of its high accuracy and at less cost than similar data available now from the U.S. government.
The initial satellite will provide fresh
stereoscopic views, necessary to gauge water flow every 18 days with data available less than 24 hours after the satellite passes overhead, officials
The partnership, named Space America, includes Space Services of America the Houston firm that manages a sub-boron flight path a year ago
Eventually a total of three satellites will refresh the data every five to six days, giving growers a nearly unbroken progress report on the growing seasons, they said. The satellites will be designed to provide weather data
Lottery winners collect checks
installments.
By United Press International
HARRIBSBUR, Pa. — Beaming winners of the largest public lottery jackpot in history yesterday accepted their first installment checks from the governor and state lottery officials. Gov. Dick Thornburgh and the officials presented checks of $230,640 to each of the three jackpot winners from Friday's record $18.1 million Lotto game.
The three winners are Barbara Kinsella, 22, a Philadelphia housewife expecting her second child within two weeks; Leonard Wall, 54, a retired bricklayer for Jones & Laughlin Steel and Lloyd Maconey; and Marvin Mahoney, 40, of Harveyville, in south eastern Pennsylvania, a housewife and mother of four.
Each winner will receive a total prize of more than $6 million in 21 annual
Mahoney said it was only the third time her family had played the sweepstakes, and he had been impressed by $4 and a month of tickets since the Lotto started.
