Confusion over rules slows Senate affairs
By JOHN HANNA
Staff Reporter
The Student Senate has been running its meetings and itself for about the past year with rules that not all of its members and officers have seen.
The Senate still does not have updated copies of its rules, some of which were changed during the summer of 1983 by a committee directed by Jim Cramer, student body vice president at that time.
"It makes me mad," Chris Coffelt, StudEx chairwoman, said yesterday. "People have been floundering, quoting rules and regs they didn't even have.
The Student Senate Executive Committee will look at those rules again at its regular meeting today — about a year after the Senate approved them.
"A lot of people have been wincing it"
a lot of people have been wishing
COFFELT SAID MOST of the changes involved the administration of the Senate office. Sandra Binyon, former administrative secretary, said the Senate lost three permanent committees under the new rules. The Senate is operating with five permanent committees.
Coffelt said senators and Senate officers probably would not receive copies of the updated rules until after the November Senate election because of the amount of time it would take the University Printing Service to print them.
But Jeff Polack, Senate Rights Committee chairman and StudEx member, said yesterday that copies might be available two weeks after their anroval.
Polack said the StudEx members could approve the rules or send them on to the university.
STUDEN IS THE Senate's executive committee, and its voting members are committee chairmen, the student body president and vice president and the three student representatives to the University Senate Executive Committee.
"It really kind of makes me wonder why some Polack said." "It kind of slowed down."
The rules were approved last fall, and a copy of the rules, with changes, was left in the Senate office by Cramer, who also kept another copy of them. But Dennis "Boog" Highberger, student body vice president, said the office copy was lost soon after he and Carla Vogel, student body president, took office in March.
"It it sort of miraculously disappeared as soon as we entered office." Higherberger said. "It was on my desk at one point, and apparently it vanished."
Binyon said, "A lot of things seemed to have disappeared at that time."
WITHOUT A COPY to work with, the three Senate administrative secretaries still were left with the job of compiling the changes in legislation and administering the Senate's computer system this summer.
The secretaries had to work from several sources, including notes from other senators. Polack said Cramer had misplaced his copy of the updated rules but found it this morning.
"He handed it to me," Polack said. "He said, 'These are the rules and regs.'"
AT A MEETING of some StudEx members last week. Polack compared that copy with the one the secretaries had compiled he said, and found some discrepancies — most of them references to the University Senate code that were not included in Cramer's copy.
Yom Kippur draws people closer together, leader says
By DAN HOWELL
Staff Reporter
Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year, brings people closer to God and to one another, a local Jewish leader said yesterday.
Jack Winnock, who organizes services for the Jewish Community Center, said, "The idea is that God wishes all human beings to return to what is good, to the Torah and to living properly."
Yom Kippur also closes a period of 10 days of atonement that begins with Rosh Hashana, the Jewish new year, which was Thursday. During those 10 days, Winerock said, people tried to settle differences and make relationships right.
Yom Kippur services begin at 7:30 p.m.
Friday at the community center, 917
Highland Drive, said Winerock, who is also
an associate professor of piano. The Jewish
day begins at sunset, and many calendars
show Saturday as Yom Kippur.
He said he anticipated between 200 and 300 people for Kol Nidre, the opening service on Friday, although attendance at weekly Sabbath services was usually about 50.
Daniel Breslauer, associate professor of religious studies, said the mood of the day was optimistic because worshipers didn't dwell on their offenses but looked forward to God's forgiveness.
Louis Lieberman, Long Grove, Ill., senior, said Kippur had been among his most enlightening experiences.
"IT'S A WEEK when it is encouraged and accented." he said.
IN 1934, WINEROCK said, a rabbi ruled that Hank Greenberg, a member of the Detroit Tigers, could not play baseball on Yom Kippur. However, the rabbi said that Rosh Hashana, being strictly a happy day, did not prohibit playing.
"The music is very beautiful and the prayers and the ram's horn is so loud and piercing." he said.
The importance of Yom Kippur to many
great players has appeared in connection with sports
matches that year.
Sandy Koufax, who starred for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the early 1960s, refused to take his pitching turn in the first game of the 1965 World Series because it fell on Yom Kippur. As he attended services, the Dodgers lost to the Minnesota Twins.
"There are many Jews today who participate in Yom Kippur out of sentiment and nostalgia and out of a sense that it's what Jews do," he said.
Not all modern Jews observe the day with enqual strictness or zeal. Breslauer said.
BRESLAUER AAR JEWISH teaching
required for appreciation of repentance for
courses in categories of offer
*In ancient Israel, the day of atonement was the only day of the year on which anyone could enter the holy of holiest, the innermost room of the temple.*
Even then, only the high priest could enter to carry the people's repentance to God. The priest entered, clothed in a white shroud-like coat and a kitted – a symbol of parity and humility.
When the high priest reappeared at the end of the ritual, the people would rejoice because he carried the promise of God's forgiveness.
Budig says KU to retain lawyers for 8
Statement released about profs named as suit's defendants
By HOLLIE B. MARKLAND Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas will immediately retain lawyers to represent eight professors named as defendants in a lawsuit. Chancellor Gene A. Budig said yesterday in a prepared statement.
Budig's statement was issued after an afternoon meeting in his office that included Budig, Attorney General Robert T. Stephan and other state and University officials
Stephan said yesterday in a two and one-half page letter to Budig that the University could retain counsel for the defendants.
In the letter, Stephan said his decision meant that the University could, if it chose to direct its staff attorneys to represent the university, or else also can hire outside counsel. Stephan said
IN HIS STATEMENT, Budig said. "We greatly appreciate the fact that Attorney General Stephan has told us we have the right independently to retain counsel for the eight faculty members. He is clearly a leader in the future of faculty and other state employees."
Attending the hour-long meeting were Budig, Stephan; State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence; Richard von Ende, executive secretary of the University; Vickie Thomas, general counsel of the University; Jeff Southard of the attorney general's office; and Neil Woerman, special assistant to the attorney general.
Budig, in his statement, also credited Winter for helping solve the problem of finding legal representation for the faculty members.
STEPHAN SAID IN his letter that potential conflicts of interest could make it necessary for the University to hire outside counsel and the plantiffs had or have a state interest
The present case stems from several years of litigation. The eight faculty members are among 11 present and former faculty members or administrators who were named as defendants in a suit filed last month in U.S. District Court in Topeka by Elizabeth Murray and Nancy Sempolski, who were graduate students in 1977.
Two of the defendants in the most recent case had been granted representation by the state. Stephan stated in his letter to Budig that the previous decision to represent a professor and an administrator had nothing to do with their status at the University
THE MOST RECENT case follows a 1980 suit that had been filed by Michael Crawford, professor of anthropology. He alleged in the suit that he had been libelled. The case ended in a hung jury in Douglas County District Court, but will be heard again.
That case followed allegations in 1977 by the two graduate students that Crawford had engaged in improper research methods and contributed to the death of a much-loved child in the Central American country of Belize.
Stephan's letter yesterday said that the professors' legal fees would not be paid by the Tort Claims Fund distributed by the attorney general's office. The University can either represent the professors or pay for their legal expenses, the letter stated
WINTER SAID HE was the liaison between the involved faculty members and the state. He discussed the facts of the case Monday, when he said he was presenting the state had in representing him, he said.
Reagan assumes responsibility for latest Beirut bombing
By United Press International
President Reagan, responding to increasingly harsh attacks, yesterday assumed responsibility for the deadly Sept. 20 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. Walter Mondale said the statement was 12 days too late and "won't wash."
"I was responsible and no one else for our policy and our people being there," Reugain said during a campaign stop in Brownsville, Texas.
A poll released yesterday by Louis Harris indicated that while Reagan is 13 points ahead of Mondale with five weeks to go before Election Day, the president is vulnerable on the issue of his handling of Lebanon.
In his reaction to the criticism leveled by Mondale and others in the past week, Reagan emphasized the difficulty in preventing acts of terrorism, especially suicide attacks.
He added, "I think that's a good development, but if you read what he seems to be saying — I take responsibility but nothing went wrong" — I don't think that will wash."
AT THE SAME time, Reagan declared,
"I'm not going to deliver somebody's head up
on a platter, which seems to the request
of so many when things like this happen."
Mondale said Reagan had been warned by the terrorists and warned by the State Department and military intelligence agencies that the embassy was in danger
"Well, it took 12 days," Mondale said while campaigning in Little Rock, Ark
"I think he really has to take respon
sibility. He has to tell us what happened, what went wrong and what he is doing to prevent a recurrence." Mondale said.
CRITICISM OF REAGAN for the Beirut bombing, the third attack in 17 months, has increased since he compared the slowness in executing security precautions at the embassy with delays in getting a kitchen remodeled.
House Speaker Thomas O'Neill said Reagan is still ducking the central question of whether a Republican is a Democrat.
"He wants it both ways," O'Neill said in a statement. "He wants to take responsibility for the security and maintain that no one in his administration is at fault for what
Reagan's comments and Mondale's response overshadowed questions about the

public language."
inductment of Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan, but Mondale demanded that Reagan determine if the charges against him are true and remove him on office if that is the case.
Mondale said he presumed Donovan was innocent because "that's the American system," but said Reagan's reaction — an affirmation of faith in Donovan — "was instinctive political defense. That's not good enough."
Geraldine Ferraro, campaigning in Nashville, Tenn., called the Reagan administration a "pass-the-buck" presidency, and said Reagan "is still looking for scapegoats" in the closing days of his term.
At an earlier stop in Illinois, Ferraro challenged auto workers to explain why surveys show one-third of them favor a new gasoline tax — let me know "yes" she asked the workers.
WHEN SEVERAL MENTIONED Montale's links to the Carter attorney, she ardently defended him. "The Chrysler bailout — do you give him credit for that?" OK," she said.
"Have those people who are worried about the hostages taken in Iran see what's happening?"
More than 260 Americans have died in Lebanon since Reagan took office.
Vice President George Bush, campaigning in Lubbock, Texas, chastised Mondale for trying to turn "a human tragedy in the Middle East" into a political weapon.
