Ex-bus coordinator eligible for release
By JOHN REIMRINGER Staff Reporter
Steve McMurry, the former director of KU on Wheels who was imprisoned last year for embezzling funds from the KU bus system, is eligible for release as early as Dec 15, an official at the Topeka Pre-Release Center said Friday.
On July 8, 1983, McMurry was sentenced to eight to 20 years in state prison on five counts of embezzlement and ordered to pay $257,051.17 in restitution to the University of Kansas.
Mary Prewitt, assistant general counsel for the University, said Friday that the University was going to submit a letter to the parole board.
"One of the things that I think will be contained in the letter is to ask the parole board to set up a schedule for restitution to be naid." Prewitt said
Keith Majors, director of the Kansas Adult Authority, said, "The KAA can order restitution when a parole is paroled, as a condition of parole.
In October, KU was granted a default judgment for $257,051.17 in a civil suit that it filed against

McMurry in Douglas County District Court.
"The University filed the civil suit because criminal case orders and civil case orders are enforced in different ways. Prewitt said when the University entered September "If you've got both, then you've got all the options covered."
McMurry has been at the pre-release center since September.
before the Kansas Adult Authority parole board, he said.
Majors said that no decision would be made on McMurry's parole until he is given a job to do.
Dick Koerner, facility administrator for the center, said, "The fact that he is here in pre-release indicates that he has a good chance of release."
McMurry has already appeared
"It isn't automatic at all," Majors said of McMurry's chances for parole. "Normally they're probably going to, it's a good possibility."
Public hearings for comment on McMurry's case and others that are being considered by the parole board are scheduled from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Nov. 29 at the Old Courthouse, 510 N Main St., Wichita, and from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Nov. 30 at the Topeka Public Library, 515 W. 10th, St. Topka.
Seminar studies religion,homosexuals
By DAN HOWELL Staff Reporter
The Bible and spiritual traditions do not reject all forms of homosexuality and object only to certain sex roles. Lessons have massors said last night at a seminar.
Robert Shelton, chairman of the department of religious studies, said the seminar was a scholarly response to controversy and anti-homosexual acts on campus this semester. The department sponsored the seminar.
About 100 people at Smith Hall heard Shelton, John Hanson, John Macauley, and Sandra Zimdars
Swartz, who all teach religious studies, speak on "Christianity and Homosexuality."
Hanson, associate professor, said Biblical references to homosexuality called for understanding of the Hebrew and Greco-Roman worlds.
THOSE PASSAGES. HE said, refer to practices such as culinary prostitution or homosexual acts between adult men and male youths, which were an established part of Greek culture.
"The use of the Biblical tradition, especially New Testament tradition, to argue against the modern perception of homosexuality, is improper." Hanson said.
Macauley, associate professor of history and religious studies, said early Christianity showed no intolerance of homosexuality, but slowly allowed its members in its sexual ethics as a way to distinguish itself from other religions.
The first Roman law forbidding homosexuality was not written until 333, he said, and church rejection of it would lead to persecution until Thomas Aquinas in the 14th century.
Zimdars-Swartz, assistant professor, said mutuality, not exploitation, should be the standard for all relationships.
SHE SAID HOMOPHOBIA, the fear of homosexuality in others and
in self, led to attempts to punish women by ridiculously supposedly female traits such as limp wrists and long evelashes.
"Homophobia, as it is being manifested on this campus, has elements of misogynism," she said. "Misogynism is woman hating."
Shellon said Christian groups in the United States today were considering homosexuality in terms of civil rights, knowledge of human nature and ordination.
Study of scriptural and moral traditions has led to breakthroughs in ideas about slavery and racism, he said. "The process is occurring in regard to sexism
Fired teachers await results of hearing

TRIBUNE — Two Greeley County High School teachers, fired because they allegedly supplied test answers
