Disciplinary System Adequate Alderson, Administration Say
(Editor's Note—This is the first of a series of three articles on KU's disciplinary system.)
By Carol Heller
KU's disciplinary system -- the subject of a two-year campus debate—is upheld by Donald K. Alderson, dean of men.
"The present system is adequate," Dean Alderson maintained in an interview with the Daily Kansan.
Problem Not New
And he indicated that his opinion was shared by the rest of the University administration.
Last year there were two incidents that raised basic issues:
1. Three students were suspended by the administration after being accused of defacing University and public property with the symbols of TNE, a nationwide secret drinking fraternity.
2. Nine students were suspended and two put on probation by the administration because of a party which resulted in damage to a Lawrence apartment house.
Neither case was heard by any student committee because of the administration's policy that vandalism on or off campus will result in automatic dismissal.
The disciplinary problem was revived this fall when Delta Tau
Delta fraternity was promised secrecy after being placed on probation for an undisclosed reason by the All Student Council's social committee.
Questions Arise
1. How is disciplinary action initiated?
DONALD K. ALDERSON "The administration tries to learn why a violation happens..."
2. What procedure is followed in a disciplinary action?
3. Should disciplinary action ever be originated at the student level?
These are some of the questions raised by the Delta Tau Delta case:
4. What is the role of the administration in disciplinary cases?
5. What is the policy on releasing information about disciplinary actions?
6. Is the present disciplinary system adequate?
First, a case is reported to the Dean of Students' office and the administration collects facts concerning the case. Then the administration determines where the case should be referred.
The dean named several channels of disciplinary action procedure:
Dean Alderson briefly outlined the University's procedure for initiating a disciplinary action:
Procedure Outlined
A case can be referred to the All Student Council's disciplinary committee or to such groups as the Inter-Fraternity Council. If the case involves a member of an organized $\sigma$ group, the case is sometimes referred to a scholarship hall, dormitory, sorority or fraternity.
Andrews Sentenced To Hang On April 18
KANSAS CITY, Kan.—(UPI)—Lowell Lee Andrews, former KU student, today was sentenced to be banged at midnight April 18 for the murder of his father, mother and sister.
(Continued on Page 8)
Andrews, who was 19 when the slayings occurred at the family's home near Wolecott Nov. 28, 1958, maintained the same claim that characterized his behavior during the trial.
However, Judge Harry G. Miller Jr.'s voice shook noticeably as he formally pronounced the death sentence ordered by a jury which convicted Andrews Dec. 22.
Snow Hits KU; Mercuryto Dip
A temperature of five degrees above zero is expected in Lawrence tonight, as frigid weather arrives in the wake of a nearblizzard which dumped five inches of snow on the city and campus yesterday and last night.
KU Pay Scale Ranked 13th Of 14 Schools
(Editor's Note—A joint budget committee of University of Colorado faculty members and administrators recently approved budgets of state universities of 14 states: Kansas, Colorado, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Washington, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia and North Carolina. This is the first in a series of articles on the report.)
By Carrie Edwards
KU ranks thirteenth among 14 state-supported universities in average salary to faculty members. KU's salary mean, the arithmetic average, this year is $6,963 compared to $7,685, the average, and $8,696, the highest faculty salary mean reported.
If KU ends up with only a 3 per cent all-faculty pay increase, the University will probably rank last next year.
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, said this today after reading the Colorado joint budget committee's report. He explained:
"The greater the pay increases over 3 per cent made by other universities, the greater the difference would be over KU if the University ends up with a 3 per cent all-faculty salary hike."
Governor George Docking recommended a 3 per cent salary increase for KU full-time faculty members other than administrators. He suggested no pay hike for the administrators here. His recommended figure was $9,357,134 for total faculty salaries
Mr. Nichols said he expects faculty members in all of the 14 surveyed universities to receive salary increases in excess of 3 per cent.
"I know Nebraska University will take on a 5 per cent hike in faculty pay, and Missouri University will boost its salary scale to faculty by 6 per cent."
In the Colorado report, KU's salary mean of $6,963 covered, as those of all the other schools, a 9-10 month academic year on pay for all full-time faculty members except those at the medical center.
KU's all-faculty salary average is

Snow fell throughout Kansas over the weekend. Winds up to 40 miles an hour piled up drifts to block highways over the state.
More Snow Expected
More snow may hit the state tomorrow and Wednesday. The weather bureau in Topeka said a new storm front is apparently developing and will move into Western Kansas tomorrow night. Snow had stopped falling over all the state by mid-morning today.
Garden City had 12 inches of snow in two days. Goodland had eight inches of snow on the ground this morning, with 11-degree temperature and 40-mile-an-hour winds.
Some Highways Are Closed
Kansas highways closed today included US40,US36,US24,K18 K45,K9,K41,US56 and K16 most in central Kansas.
A high moisture content in the snow and temperatures just below freezing made Lawrence streets unusually slick and slushy yesterday.
The slush in the streets froze during the night and additional snow was packed on top of it. Motorists without tire chains for their cars walked to work or school this morning.
A Foot-Snow In Colorado
Eastern Colorado was buried in foot-deep snow yesterday. The Texas panhandle had snows of up to nine inches. Heavy雪 warnings were out today for most of Nebraska, Iowa and the Great Lakes region, as the storm moved northeastward out of Kansas.
Campus Police Chief Joe Skillman said this morning there have been no traffic accidents on the campus since the snow fell.
United Press International reported that four Kansas traffic deaths were blamed on the storm.
Fifteen-foot drifts were reported at Luray, in north central Kansas, where eight inches of snow fell and 40-mile-an-hour winds made driving impossible.
