Changes proposed in legal plan
Bv MARY ERNST
Staff Reporter
Harper said he sent the letter in hopes that the board members would look at ways of reconciling their proposal with another proposal that administrators said they would accept.
In a letter sent yesterday to members of the Legal Services Governing Board, Mike Harper, student body president, suggested six changes in its legal services proposal that he thinks will have to be made before KU
The proposals are for a legal services program that is slated to begin serving students in January.
Two weeks ago the board, which consists primarily of students, submitted a proposal to Harper. That was just three days after Harper had received from KU administration an online explaining what kind of program they would accept.
SEVERAL MEMBERS of the board were upset that the administration had made an announcement of what it would accept before the board had had a chance to submit its resignation to Del Shanker, executive vice chancellor.
Mark Beam-Ward, chairman of the board, later resigned over what he said was the circumvention of the device.
Harper said he would appoint a new member to the board soon to fill the vacancy left by Beard-Waer. He told reporters that he had accepted.
recruited by Harper during the summer to do a study on legal service program alternatives.
However, Harper said many of the board members were unacquainted with Arnold, even though Arnold had made many of the recommendations that the administration said it would accept.
Harper's six changes in the board's proposal would make the two proposals almost identical, and would cut costs.
"The PROPOSAL that the board submitted was very similar to Phase 1 of the proposal that the administration has said it would accept." Harper said. "There really were no differences other than the six I outlined."
The major point, he said, was that the board had wanted the attorney in the program to be able to represent students in court beginning with the first day of the program. However, he said, KU administrators did not.
"I can understand both views," Harper said, "but I think that it is in the students' interest to try and reputation for at least one year. It would only take one case if the student couldn't handle to destroy the reputation of the program."
THE OTHER points that Harper said he thought should be channeled were:

- Reducing the number of non-students on the advisory board from five to two or three.
- Taking out of the proposal a provision that a Con-
sumner Affairs Association office be included in the Legal Services program. Harper said he thought that was against the wishes of Consumer Affairs, which recently sent a letter of office to its community office in downtown Lawrence.
- The removal of a line item allocation for Consumer Affairs. Harper said he thought Consumer Affairs should come to the Student Senate for funding, as other organizations do.
- Taking out of the proposal a provision that the Douglas County Legal Aid Society automatically receive an allocation of 10 percent of the Legal Services budget, and taking the remainder through the normal budgetary procedures to receive funds.
- Taking out a provision that the Douglas County Legal Aid Society automatically receive a $1,250 increase in its fees.*
* The proposal was tabled on Wednesday.*
HARPER SAID the program had to fit into the $54,000 budget that the Senate had provided. The inclusion of provisions for additional funding of Consumer Affairs and Legal Aid Shipy Boat Aid society the board's budget to $83,000.
"We just don't have the funds to provide for those provisions," he said.
Without the changes in the board's proposal that he had suggested, Harper said the administration would not be able to make such a change.
Inspection of panels postponed at hospital
Inspectors will have to wait until next week to look at repairs on the panels on the outer surface of the new Bell Memorial Hospital at the University of Kansas Medical Center, because bad weather hampered the inspection Monday.
Vincent Cool, acting state architect, said yesterday the Clinical Facilities Executive Committee, which inspects the building, had decided earlier that the repaired panels were satisfactory.
The panels were inspected in May, when it was found that 130 of them were chipped and the rest were unprotected.
In October, the inspectors looked at the repaired panels and found the repairs to be unsatisfactory. They told the contractor, "We're looking for a new company," Inc., to repair the panels in about 30 days.
Cool SAID. "It was not a good day to really look at the panels, so we'll have to stay there."
Allen Wiechert, University director of facilities planning, said he could not come to a conclusion about the panels because of the weather.
won't able to really look at them, and I couldn't come to any conclusion. But I could tell him it was not true.
"They were wet," Wiechert said. "1
He said the contractor had not notified him of completion of the work, but he was not informed.
Cool said, "This is a quick process. In one stage or another the work had been
He said the drying of the glue on the panels was a long process, and the inspection team could not determine the invisibility of the patches until the glue dried.
WIECHERT SAID he did not know when the work would be finished.
"Until we agree that the panels are satisfactory," he said, "he will have to keep
"It's pretty much up to the contractor to give us satisfactory panels."
