Chancellor Explains Role of KU Attorney
By JOHN E. RITTER
Kansan Staff Writer
Two misconceptions have arisen about the proposed functions of a University of Kansas attorney, soon to be hired, Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr said Tuesday.
"Many people have characterized the job of the attorney in only one direction," Chalmers said.
"HE WILL NOT be a mere campus representative of the attorney general's office," he said, "and the functions of the job will include more than just enforcement of the rules and regulations of the University."
"It is inappropriate to view the attorney in these two perspectives. The variety of areas of concern will be tremendous."
Chalmers said that in the past the faculty of the Law School had been assigned as legal advisers to various committees and had taken most of the responsibility for legal references.
"THE WORK of the attorney will not be new to the University," he said. "It is just that in the past we have accomplished
Contraception Clinic Is Not Planned at KU
Besides acting as a legal reference, the attorney will handle interpretation of contracts, especially for grants in the various departments. Chalmers explained.
legal matters by overloading the Law School faculty."
"The attorney will act as a coordinator of legal affairs for the University—sort of like a corporation lawyer," he said.
THE CHANCELOR emphasized that the attorney would not act as prosecutor against violators of rules and regulations.
"The judiciary is set up for that function. The job of the attorney will be much more comprehensive. For example, he may even assume some duties on the Law School faculty." he said
Although no contraception clinic is planned for the University Health Service, various clinical examinations, including those concerned with contraception, are now being carried out, Dr. Raymond A. Schwegler, director of the University Health Service, said Wednesday.
Chalmers said the administration was proceeding on two fronts toward hiring an attorney.
Schwegler said there was every possibility the hospital could handle all the demands for birth control advice without the establishment of a clinic.
For any sort of emergency the hospital is open 24 hours a day, he said.
Now most doctors at the Health Service will handle unmarried birth control patients.
He said there were two main barriers to a clinic devoted solely to birth control. First, the Health Service has neither the space nor the personnel to institute and administer one.
Second, some of the doctors may object on moral grounds.
FIRST, IT is drafting a statement outlining the responsibilities and duties of the attorney. Second, it is in the process of gathering names of candidates for the job, he said.
Watkins, he pointed out, had been concerned with contraception for married students for years. In the period when most birth control consultation consisted of the fitting of a diaphragm, many unmarried females had trouble receiving the attention they desired.
Schweegler said he did not think the religious factor was too important, although he said it played some part. Many doctors, he said, were concerned about the sharp rise in venereal disease in recent years.
Dance Club Cancels Thursday's Meeting
The advent of the Pill signaled the demise of the rubber condom, with its concomitant protection against the transmission of disease, he said. Gonorrhea, for example, often passes undetected in females and can "lead to significant complications."
A folk dance scheduled for Thursday in Hoch Auditorium has been canceled, said Milton Rosenberg, sponsor of the Folk Dance Club. In the event of rain, the folk dancing scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday in Potter's Pavilion will be held in 173 Robinson Gymnasium.
The attorney would be under the wing of the central administration, Chalmers said, but would be available to other divisions of the University and to separate corporations such as the Kansas Union and the KU Athletic Association.
Chalmers said it would be four to six weeks before a "number of loose ends are puled together" and an attorney could be hired.
