Semantic problem stumps SenEx
Members of the University Senate executive committee wrangled with an old semantics problem yesterday as they tried to find a way to get an amendment to the University's financial exigency document approved by University Council.
The financial exigency document deals with procedures that should be taken in case of a financial emergency at the University of Kansas.
Evelyn Swartz, SenEx chairman, said the amendment would recommend University wide salary adjustments, which would be less costly than in cases of financial crisis. The recommendation would supplement another option for universities that terminating tenured faculty members.
However, a problem over the wording of the amendment has kept it floating from
committee to committee, without its' being accepted by the University Council, Swartz
THE UNIVERSITY Council must accept the amendment before it can become part of the university.
Members of SenEx did not discuss the actual wording, but instead discussed speech, which they used in their speech.
Swartz said the American Association of University Professors had sent recommendations concerning the matter to SenEx, which sent them to the Faculty Rights, Privileges and Responsibilities Board, then sent them back to SenEx. SenEx then sent them to the University Council and they again returned to the committee, she said.
"I feel we should do something about it now," Swartz said.
Faculty, staff party draws crowd
Amid garbage cans filled with beer and soft drinks, new faculty and staff of the University of Kansas mined last night at the 12th annual KU Affairs Mixer.
The mixer, held on the lawn on west 15th Street southwest of the Meadowbrook Apartment office, was sponsored by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
After the sun passed behind the clouds, the crowd of about 600 slowed its consumption of beverages and settled down to dinner under a tent.
Cancellor Archie R. Dykes, who was referred to as "Lawrence's No.1 citizen,"
told the group he was pleased he had the
practice them at the start of the
academic year.
"The beginning of the year is a happy time at the University because new students are coming to Lawrence for the first time to begin their college education," Dykes said.
Charles Lacy of Centronpr, read a poem called "The KU Faculty Mixer" at the close of the conference.
Lacey's poem, which outlined do's and don't's for newcomers to Lawrence, was written on toilet tissue. He said he wanted to present an informal air at the mixer.
SenEx members moved to form a subcommittee that would come up with a final wording to present to the University Council.
IN OTHER action by SenEx, Don Marquis, associate professor of philosophy, gave a progress report on a continuing research project for setting the summer session calendar.
Marquis said there were two issues involved: deciding who had responsibility for setting dates for the summer session and ensuring the summer session for 1980 should be set.
Swartz said that the Kansas Board of Regents was responsible for setting the schedule for the fall and spring semesters, and he asked the question about who was responsible for the season.
She said the schedule has been set either by the University Council, acting on recommendations from the Calendar办公室, or by the Office of Academic Affairs.
SenEx's responsibility in the matter is limited to monitoring the progress being made on finding out who makes the decision, she said.
SenEx went into a closed meeting to select a vice chairman of the computer commission.
Marquis said the name of the person selected would be announced later.
The University faculty executive committee also met yesterday in closed session to select a replacement for Robert Sanders the University Committee on Sabatical Leave.
That selection also will be announced later, Marquis said.
However, before the proposal can be adopted by the committee, David Amber, vice chancellor for student affairs, will have to approve the change.
A proposal that would make it easier for students to schedule events on the KU campus was approved yesterday by the University Events Committee.
Ann Ewesole, chairman of the committee, said Amber's approval was needed because activities approved by the committee affect student affairs.
The proposal would enable students to receive immediate approval of routine requests by applying for permission from the office of student organizations and activities.
New events scheduling approved
"One of the intents was to respond more quickly to students' requests," we said.
Currently, students wanting to schedule events on campus must appear before the college admissions office.
Under terms of the proposal, the student activities office would handle routine requests and a core committee would either approve or deny controversial requests
The whole committee would meet in establish new policies and interpret rules.
Although the core committee would meet biweekly, if necessary it could meet within 48 hours after a request had been made. Evensaid so.
HOWEVER, KATHY HOGGARD, committee member representing the information center, questioned the ability of students to understand distribution points of newspapers on campus.
In other action, the committee tabled, for the second time, a proposal that would establish new guidelines for the distribution of literature on campus.
The committee voted to table the proposal until a ruling on the legality of the measure was obtained from Mike Davis, the University general counsel. The proposal had been tabled last week because of lack of time.
The proposal would allow periodic newspapers to be sold in front of the Kansas Union from lock boxes provided by the Union.
Although the proposal has not been approved by the committee, two lock boxes already have been constructed by the Union for the sale of periodic newspapers.
Frank Burge, director of the Union, said
