Merger...
From page one
Elizabeth Banks, a KUAC board member and a former member of the Women's Athletic Advisory Board, charged in her complaint filed Aug. 1, that disparities in funding, program performance and protective staffing in the men's and women's programs existed.
BOTH COMPLAINTS have been received and acknowledged by HEW, but an investigation into the allegations will not be conducted until cuts to the curriculum are considered. Thomas, chief of the higher education branch of HEW's regional office of civil rights.
Washington said she was worried about a possible reduction in women's athletic personnel and a submerging of the department if a merger occurred.
"There's a difference between being merged and submerged." Washington said. "I have my coaches to protect. We have some fine people who have been dedicated to developing women's athletics and I feel responsible to know their future.
"When you assume they may want to eliminate a duplication of personnel, there's a tendency to relay that to a possibility of potentially responsibility to know what happens to them."
BUT DESPITE potential problems, administrators see advantages to combining the programs.
Messer said the men's athletic program could give financial security to the women's program, which might be good for both programs.
"The women's program has experienced a great deal of instability in terms of funds, and stability is important in the development of anything," he said. "The men's program is fairly stable, and it might lend some stability to theirs."
Washington said, "If we know by merging that we would have greater financial security, I think it would be a positive thing for women's athletics."
JUST WHAT it will take to make a merger feasible without putting KUAC in the red and save your money. When it is what administrators will try to determine in the next several weeks.

Water workers' union seen likely
Bv JOHN FISCHER
Roger Siegal, representative of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Union, last night after a meeting of Lawrence Water Department workers that he was optimistic that the workers would unionize.
Staff Reporter
One worker said more than 90 percent of the utility workers wanted to unionize.
Siegel said a majority of utility workers appeared to approve of the idea of forming a
There are about 65 employees in the city utility department, and a simple majority of the employees work at the office.
Siegel said the main objective in forming the union was to give the workers a voice when problems developed between the workers and the city.
Sialeq said he hoped city commissioners would recognize the union if it was formed.
THE WORKERS recently ran into problems with the city concerning
If a majority of the workers decide to unionize, the union would go before the commissioners to be recognized. Currently, the does not recognize any unions in Lawrence.

The workers claimed that the city avoided and complicated workers' problems in the hope that the workers would drop the grievances.
However, Kevin Burt, city personnel manager, said the workers did not file their two greaviews properly. The workers had been given access to the standards set by the city employee codes.
Tonight, Tuesday, Sept. 26
"We will proceed on the basis that the city is decent enough to recognize us, and if not, then we will proceed through other ways." Siegal said.

Biera said the forms would be submitted to Vogt this week.
Biera said he thought the grievances would go before the board because he did not think Vogt could resolve their problems.
A grievance form must be submitted to the workers' supervisor. If he cannot help them, it then goes to the head of their department. It then goes to the grievance board to be resolved if the department head cannot solve the workers' problem.
"ALL THE WORKERS want is the simple dignity of being recognized."
However, Mayor Donald Binns said last week that the city probably would not recognize the union.
Phil Bierna, a utility worker, and at the end of the day there would file four separate gravitations.
The four grievances are inappropriate job assignments, age discrimination, improper employee promotion and unprofessional conduct.
