Administrators prefer payment to garnishment
By SHARON APPELBAUM Staff Reporter
University officials say the last thing they want to do is耻缴 employee paychecks for unpaid library and parking fines.
They hope to avoid the process by encouraging people to pay their fines now by setting up a proper appeals procedure.
"We don't want to cause undue hardship and disquietude." Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, said yesterday.
Because of a statute the Kansas Legislature passed last year, state institutions may garnish employee paychecks so debts will be paid off.
"Faculty and staff could accumulate parking fines and library fines, and the University had no means of collecting Cobb said. "It had no leverage."
He added, however, "It's not something we're looking forward to with glee."
William Hogan, associate executive vice chancellor, is working on a garnishment procedure that will enable the university to avoid a garnishment of paychecks in January.
IN THE MEANTIME, Cobb hoped all debts would be paid so no one would have to receive a reduced paycheck.
Hogan said he had sent notices to all the vice chancellors to be distributed to the faculty and staff who haven't paid fines.
Last year $58,000 in employee fines were never paid, according to the University's business office.
Cobb is drafting a letter to the faculty asking for their cooperation.
"We're inviting people to do the best they can in making a frustrating procedure as human as possible," he said.
He said part of that cooperation involved appealing fines if there was a disagreement.
PARKING TICKETS may be appealed at the Parking and Traffic Board of Appeals and at the fines office in Watson Library.
But the University Senate executive committee and library officials have called for an appeals board for library fines.
SenEx members met with Cobb this week to discuss establishing an appeals board.
Student representative Loren Busy, vice chairman of SenEx, said no one approved of the "library staff acting like the judge, jury and prosecutor," but neither he nor Cobb forswear a number of library fine appeals.
Busby suggested that the traffic and parking board could handle the library fines.
COBSA BID THE board was busy with parking tickets, but might be able to schedule one time during the year to hear all library complaints.
Nominations are being taken to fill six vacancies on the Kansas Committee for the Humanities, acting as director Cott, KCH executive director.
Committee for the Humanities to fill six openings
The positions must be filled by December 1981, and members will serve three-year terms, beginning Jan. 1, 1982.
The vacancies include four positions for college or university humanities teachers and two positions for public members.
Deanell Tacha, KU vice chancellor for academic affairs, has
served on the committee, and although her term expires in December, she is eligible for a second term.
The National Endowment for the Humanities, the KCH funding board, requires that state committee membership be divided between college or university faculty and administrators and members of the public, representing a variety of backgrounds.
Members of KCH determine operational policies, act on grant applications and participate in other
work of the organization. Meetings are held at least four times a year, in addition to occasional subcommittee meetings users serve on a voluntary basis.
Ninamese should be U.S. citizens and residents of Kansas who have demonstrated achievement, scholarship or creativity in the humanities, or who are distinguished in business, labor, agriculture, the professions or civic activity. They should have an interest in the humanities and adult public education.
Nominations should be forwarded
to the Nominations Committee,
Kansas Committee for the
Humanities, 112 West 6th Street,
Suite 509, Topeka, Kan. 66033.
Nominations should include name, address and phone number of the nominee, a biographical sketch including education, community activity and employment background and a letter from the supporter stating reasons for the nomination.
Nominations must be received by Oct. 21. Nominees will be asked by KCH to provide statements of their interest in serving on the committee.
KCH is one of 50 such organizations existing in each of the states. The organizations are supported by private gifts and continuing grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
KCH is not a governmental agency, however, it functions as an NEH-affiliated citizens' group authorized to make grants of federal funds for public humanities college or university teachers, to broaden the understanding of issues and concerns of Kansas citizens.

AT LAST, A DIFFERENCE IN SOUND YOU CAN SEE.
See the small illustration. That's the sound you get from one speakers.
See the room. That's the room.
Now look at the big illustration.
That's the sound you get from us, BES,
because our speaker has no cone. Why? The cone can only project sound in one direction.

Look at the BES illustration again. Where the sound from one speaker intersects the sound from the other, you get true stereo.
And that's everywhere.
