Classified workers unhappy with pay

Classified employees at the University of Kansas have won a vote in the University governance, but many of them think they have a long way to go in winning a say in how they are
Classified employees make up about 1,980 of the KU work force. The group includes state employee at KU who are not faculty members or administrators. Many of them don't like the way they are paid or how much they are paid. They are O'Neill, president-elect of Classified Senate.

Lawrenceville, would increase 74 living in Lawrent-

won to be enough.
To show the actual level of KU classified employees' salaries, the Kansan today is publishing them.
The list of salaries, which begins on page 6, is taken from KU's FU' 1981-82 budget.
The proposed 7 percent increase in classified employees' salaries would be divided into a 5.75 percent cost-of-living increase and a 1.25 average merit salary increase.
O'Neill, who is an accountant in the department of human development and family life, said this plan would not give all workers the pay increases they deserved because it is set up to grant many employees only cost-of-living increases.
The merit increases come after employees evaluate how well workers have met job performance expectations. Pay increases also are related to the number of years workers have on the job.

Island recaptured British take South Georgia Island; helicopters cripple Argentine sub
By United Press International
LONDON-In the first military clash in the Falkland Islands dispute, helicopter-borne British troops backed by warships recaptured South Georgia Island in the south Atlantic yesterday in a two-hour battle with 140 Argentine defenders.
British Defense Secretary John Nott said the assault force suffered no casualties in recapturing the South Georgia port of Grytwek. The naval ship crippled an Argentine submarine in the port.
"The Argentine forces offered only limited resistance to the British troops," not said in a statement read outside No. 16 Downtown Street, near the Minister Margaret Thatcher ahead of塑洽会.
"Our forces were landed by helicopter and were supported by a number of warships.
IN WASHINGTON, Argentine Foreign Minister Nicola Costa Mendez said Britain violated international law by using force and invading the islands while negotiations were
"I'm truly surprised that Britain attacked Georgia Island," Costa Mendez said. He said Argentina would press for sanctions against Britain in response to the Organization of American States today.
He also said the attack on the submarine "technically" created a state of war with Britain
but added later, "there is never an end to diplomacy."
Costa Mader postponed until today a meeting with Secretary of State Alexander Haug, for setting
There was no immediate confirmation from Argentina of the surrender of South Georgia, a dependency 800 miles east of the main Falklands group.
BUT THE military junta said in a statement two hours after the British announcement that a small unit of sailors corneaed on the islands swore to resist "until wearing out their defenses."
The junta said fighting switched northeast from Grytvian to the port of Leith later yesterday. It said the British destroyer Exeter was the first British vessel waiting for proper conditions for a new assault.
The ruling Argentine junta said earlier in a communique that the 140 Argentine troops on South Georgia were holding out against cannot fight with unarmed units and machine gun from jet飞鹰。
Local news reports that could not immediately be confirmed said several Argentines were injured, two seriously, in the attack on the submarine. The reports said the helicopters attacked a U.S.-made Guppy-class submarine named the Santa Fe.
Nott said the Argentine force boasted the white flag of surrender about two hours after the attack.

"I won't have any dead time," he said yesterday.
Kearns said he had been working 20 hours a day, seven days a week.
Don Kearns, director of Parking Services, will be able to devote more time to the Lawrence campus after July 1, when he will give up his responsibilities for parking at the Kansas City.
"It is essentially a back-to-normal situation," Rodger Orogeri, director of support services and services to the city.
After the change, Kearns will be working on Lawrence campus parking problems that he has not had time to deal with while working on both campuses.
"He'll be more involved with a lot of the detail on the Lawrence campus.

KEARNS SAID he would work on long-term Parking Services projects, such as statistical work, analyzing parking needs for residence hall students and the future development of parking.
"I've just never been able to address those concerns for this campus," he said.
He will also develop a system for assigning parking permits during pre-enrollment, for the pre-enrollment system that will be used next fall at the University.

The five-year teacher education program that began this spring at the University of Kansas has already attracted national attention and may be treed for the future.
Dale Scannell, dean of the KU School of Education, testified about the program before the U.S. House Committee on Education and Labor in February. He was also interviewed in a national magazine on education, Focus, and he faculty from the school have met with representatives of other colleges, teachers and school districts to discuss the program.

Scannell said the KU program had gained national attention because it was one of only a five-year programs in the nation. The University of New Hampshire has had a five-year program for five years, and Austin College in Texas has had one for 10 years. Other colleges have five-year programs in specific fields of education.
"There's a lot of interest nationally in extended programs," he said recently.
MANY SCHOOLS, such as the Universities of Florida and Nebraska, are considering extending their education programs, he said, and
He will travel to Oregon next month to describe the KU program to the state's post-secondary council, which runs the state's colleges. Nita Sundebye, KU professor of education, spoke to representatives of private colleges in Kansas last fall about KU's program.
In addition, Scannell said, a national association of schools of education of state universities approved last fall an outline of a five-year teacher education program.
Kansas State University has a committee studying a five-year program.
the new program, which affects only students who are freshmen after May 1981, requires 162 hours for graduation, not 124 hours, as required before. The 162 hours comprise 60 hours of liberal arts courses, 62 hours of professional education courses and 40 hours of teaching in the field. Students receive bachelor's degrees after 132 hours.
STUDENTS WHO meet admission requirements for the fifth year can go on to certify to teach and can earn up to 15 hours of graduate credit.
However, he said, KU was "in the forefront" of extending education programs because it was

Community support for jazz wanes

The sound coming from 102 Murphy Hall on Friday was brassy - hyperkinetic.
"Just swallow those notes, bounce in the
mousepad. The slender man in the
Mickey Mouse sweatshirt."
He stopped the KU Jazz Ensemble I half-
way into just-getting into it and letting it all-hang-out.
"Let's burn it," suggested a horn player, obvious to the clock on the wall the direction.
It was almost 2:20 in the afternoon, the end of vet another practice session for the group.
"On bar 89, let's put that thing. Let's nail it to the wall," the student director told the students in the classroom.
The trombones and trumpets tried to match their leader's arm as he punched the music.
WHAT FOLLOWED was the jazz ensemble at its best on Rob McConnell's "Too.-" feet tapping out the tempo, fingerings and strumming in the trumpet and faces intent on the sheet music before them.

But that chance may never come.
On Dec. 31, 1981, Paul Gray's Jazz Place in downtown Lawrence closed its doors after six years of bringing live jazz entertainment to the city.
In Topeka, the city's only club committed to jazz, the Catfish Hollow, cannot attract enough community support and may eventually go the way of Paul Gray's.

Jazz musician Chuck Berg performs Saturday night at the Jazzhaus, 926 Massachusetts St. The club performed April 1.

Jazz is as healthy as it has ever been," said Dick Wick, KU associate professor of music history and 20-year host of "The Jazz Scene," a music program on KU's KAN-PM FU
"Right now, though, the local scene is not very healthy."
THE PROBLEM, said Bill Lee, KLWN program director, is that jazz is minority music, similar to classical and new wave in terms of the number of people attracted to it.
It cannot support commercial programming, Lee said, and because of this, there are limitations to the software.
Lack of public interest and lack of money on the part of those who do support it have convinced many people to take action.
Ernie Douglas, owner of the Catfish Hollow,
was bitter about the lack of support in
the city.
"The club is very unsuccessful," he said.
DOUGLAS, a computer programmer for the U.S. Postal Service and a jazz musician, said there had never been much support of anything in Topeka, least of all jazz.
"And more than anything, it is because of the lack of support by jazz people in general."
Wright agreed, sayd, "Topoka is kind of strange. For being the capital city, there's a lot of history."
Douglas said his postal service job supported the club, which opened in April 1978.
Out of all the 1,500 people who have joined
in the last three years, 97 percent are people I never even knew," he said.
"The other 3 percent are people I grew up with in Topok, and the majority of the 97% in Tupac."
When Douglas first opened the Catfish Hollow, the club operated seven nights a week. But because business was slow, he stopped working nights a week, Thursday through Sunday.
"And for the participation I get on Thur
