Director clarifies controversial memo's intent
By LAURETTA SCHULTZ Staff Renorter
Staff Reporter
Classified employees who say that a memo about state employee organizations was meant to intimidate them have misunderstood the memo's intent, the adminis- tor who wrote it, and who wrote it.
David Lewin, director of personnel services, said he had distributed the memo Oct 30 to department administrators to explain the plan pertaining to state employee organizations.
"It has been a long time since we have sent anything of this nature out," he said. "It is important to remind the rights, the laws dealing with employee organizations."
But Neva Entrikin, who soon will take over as the new president of Classified Senate, said some people in her group viewed the move as a way to keep them from joining the organizations.
SHF SAID THE memo was distributed
because of recent membership drives by the Kansas Association of Public Employees targeting KU classified employees.
Classified employees include those who are not faculty or administrators.
"KAPE is actively recruiting KU classified employees," she said. "Mr. Lewin was well within his rights, I guess. But a lot people felt betrayed to tell them they couldn't join KAPE."
In the memo, Lewin first quoted a Kansas statute from the Kansas Public Employer-Employee Relations Act dealing with the rights of employees.
"Public employees shall have the right to form, join and participate in the activities of employee organizations of their own choosing," the memo said.
FOLLOWING THIS, LEWIN outlined the regulations about when and where employee organizations can meet. He also quoted laws that said employers could not encourage or discourage membership in any employee organization.
"Employees are expected to perform
assigned work as scheduled." Lewin said in the memo, "Any activities that interfere with performance of work are not permitted and should be delegated to the director of personnel services immediately."
Entrikin said that the upset employees had pointed to a sentence in the memo in which Lewin had identified employee organizations parenthetically as "lab unions."
"Since he is talking about KAPE, that is a gross error." she said. "KAPE is not a labor union and that upset some of them."
Lewin said he had no real feelings one way or the other about employee organizations.
"THIS OFFICE AND the University take no positions pro or con about this," he said. He was a simple reminder that was sent in hope of a willing response and nods like this, I hope the air is cleared."
Joe Collins, the current president of Classified Senate, said the main purpose of Classified Senate and groups like KAPE was to increase employee interests at the Kansas Legislature.
"The concept of a labor union for classified
employees is absurd, $^2$ he said. "Labor unions bargain and negotiate. How can that be done when the Legislature sets our salaries?
"We attempt to present information about classified employees to the Legislature. We provide support and lobby. We do not bargain."
Collins said KAPE had stepped up its recruiting efforts when Charlie Dodson took over as the executive director about three months ago.
"I EXPECT THAT is what has brought all of the attention from personnel," Collins said. "KAPE had not really recruited here between 17 years. They probably gave a little personity."
Dodson agreed and said he hoped the situation would clear up soon.
"They were probably a little apprehensive when a bunch of employees began joining together to try to improve their own lot." Dodson said from his office in Topeka. "But I don't think David was trying to intimidate anyone."

Fraternity helps with 'Smokeout'
Groups work to stop students' smoking
By DAVID LASSITER Staff Reporter
No one smokes cigarettes with the style and viciousness of Joan Collins on ABC's nighttime soap opera, "Dynasty."
And it's doubtful that she slowed her steady habit of puffing yesterday during the American Cancer Society's Great American Smokeout.
The smokeout may have met with greater success with KU students. The Phi Beta Sigma fraternity worked with the American Civil Liberties Union yesterday to promote the annual smokeout
"Basically, the purpose of the drive is to inform people about the smokeout and the dangers of smoking," said Henry Hams, a senior, Kan. senator and president of the fraternity.
The organization has been putting up posters across campus and handing out brochures during the past few days in its effort to students to stop smoking for a day, Hamss said.
THE POSTERS DEPICT people with
knarled faces smoking cigarettes. Captions below the pictures read "smoking is very
"They are designed to make people see just now silly, they look when they smoke." "Hams up."
The fraternity also set up information tables in the Kansas Union and on Wescoe Beach yesterday. Hams said that about 25 to 50 people an hour stopped at each table.
"The stop smoking campaign is becoming increasingly effective in reaching smokers." Hams said "Just a few minutes ago I talked to a man who told us what a good job we were doing with the drive. And he told us about how his wife had participated in the drive four years ago and had not smoked since"
TO HELP THE American Cancer Society pay for the brochures and posters used for the smokeout, the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity solicits donations from passsbym.
"We average anywhere from $500 to $600 in our collections." Hams said.
Hams said the fraternity would continue to collect donations for the next two weeks.
had encouraged people across the nation not to smoke yesterday.
Tracy McClung, Metamora, III, freshman, said she knew the American Cancer Society
"I heard them announce it on the radio a couple of hours ago," she said, snuffing out the butt of her third cigarette of the day.
"I'm not addicted," she said. "I could stop anytime that I wanted to.
"But I enjoy smoking. It relaxes me."
ROBRIE KUNKLE. A volunteer for the American Cancer Society and the American Lung Association, recently formed a group called Freedom From Smoking.
She said that 15 group members had met earlier this week and that 13 had not smoked
"People who smoke know that they shouldn't," said Kunkle, a junior high teacher in Kansas City, Kan. "They can't justify it.
"It's like I tell my students. When you play Russian roulette, you know that the chances are one in six that they're going to shovel your brains off the floor."
"Although it has been proven that there is a one in six chance that smoking will give you cancer, people still smoke because the effects are not immediate."
Committee recommends ESU changes
By MARY CARTER Staff Reporter
TOPEKA — One branch of a proposed Center for Excellence in Education should be at Emporia State University, and five graduate programs in the school's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences should be cut, a Board of Regents committee decided yester-
After more than two hours of often heated discussion, the Regents Academic Affairs Committee voted to recommend steps that teachers should on teacher education at Emporia State.
The Board of Regents is scheduled to act today on the recommendations
The committee recommended that a service branch of the Center for Excellence be established at Emporia State and that the school be permitted to retain seven of 12 graduate programs in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Emporia State also would be allowed to allow its off-campus classes to the Kansas State University.
A PLAN TO cut all graduate liberal arts programs at Emporia State to help absorb a permanent $1.1 million budget cut was suggested last month by a Regents subcommittee that included faculty and students protested the plan and asked for time to devise their own plan.
The committee decided to accept Emporia State's offer to give up graduate programs in chemistry, dramatic arts, physics, speech and social science in exchange for having a branch of the center and the Kansas City programs.
Robert Glennen, Emporia State president, said that 16 students were enrolled in the programs that had been cut and that they would be eased out over the next two to three years. No faculty members will be laid off because of the faculty teaches only graduate courses.
THE COMMITTEE ALMOST voted to delay action on Emporia State's program, but Wendell Lady, Regents chairman, said it would be a mistake not to act.
"With the budget problems at Emporia State and the "Nation at Risk," we saw this as an opportunity to address both problems. The time to act is now, when there is interest in the problem," he said. The "Nation at Risk" is a national report on the status of education.
A team of consultants in September recommended establishing a Center for Excellence in Teaching to aid in Kansas education research and the dissemination of research findings. The consultants suggested that be located at the University of Kansas
AT THE OCTOBER Regents meeting, Regents staff suggested that the Center be divided into a research branch at KU and a service branch at Emporia State.
