Executive council elects Classified Senate officers
By JEFF SJERVEN
Staff Reporter
The president and secretary of the Classified Senate were elected yesterday at a meeting of the Senate's executive council.
Elected president was J. O'Neill, an account clerk in the department of human development. Deborah Walker, a public secretary, was elected secretary.
O'Neill said his main goal as president would be to gain pay increases for classified employees who have exhausted their merit pay raises.
"My top priority will be on the longevity problems of Civil Service employees," she said. "When employees top out of pay scale and retire, we need a merit increase every five years."
"M merit increases are said to be 5 percent, but they often are less than that."
Classified employees in Kansas hold jobs that have six pay steps. Employees are paid based on their performance. Once an employee has reached the sixth step, he receives the longevity merit increases every five years and cost-of-living increases approved by the Kansas Board of Directors.
O'NEILL SAID she wanted the Senate to concentrate on issues that concern all classified employees.

"I don't want to see the Senate bogged down in individual departmental problems," she said. "We might appoint someone to look into some problems, though."
"But if, for example, one department requires clocking in and out and the employees don't like it, I don't think we would want to get involved with that."

"We need to tread softly while getting accepted in the governance system," she said.
FORMING EMPLOYEE senates is a good idea, she said, because they can represent employees without unions.
"Unions scare the administration as well as some employees," she said. "If the Senate acts as the Student and Faculty senates in representing its constituents, I think that many Civil Service employees at the university may be interested in forming such a group."
The executive council will meet within a few weeks. The full 30-member Senate will hold its first meeting Jan. 15, according to Collins, an officer of the executive council.
Senate members and officers will serve two-year terms, Collins said.

KU grad makes legal services go

The woodsy smell of pipe tobacco began to fill the room of the former residence hall room, which is now Ruddick's office.
"Things started rolling right away. A lot of people pitched in and helped us move in," Ruddick said last week.

A formidable diploma from the KU School of Law stands out among a group of graduate students in papered papers. The official document looks out of place in the informal atmosphere of the court.
Steve Ruddick, attorney for Student Legal Services, 212 Carruth-O'Leary, lit his nine while he sued his office.
"I think it is common knowledge among attorneys that I won't be representing my client in court," said Ruddick. "But they will probably be going up against someone else there."
Behind him on the wall, hang a sheet of paper with the name "Katie," Rudick's five-year-old daughter, was written in big, unstudy letters above an orange globe.
"Business has been picking up continuously since the start of this semester," Rudd said.
working relationships with other attorneys.
The legal services office opened last April.
"Now today is a slow day," Ruddick said. "But some days everything just pops up at once," he said, gesturing with his pipe.
ORGANIZED TO provide students with legal advice and consultation, the program has started without a hitch, Ruddick said.
But if Rudick has traded court work for paperwork, his job, like any other in the legal profession, can sometimes be frustrating.
"The case load isn't overwhelming," he said. "It just hits all at once sometimes. But I'd much rather be busy than bored."
Ruddick said he had worked on a number of unusual legal questions, from patenting procedures to disposing of a dead roommate's possessions.
"I feel like we've been fairly successful," he said. "I don't know if there are students out there with legal problems who have been accused of being here we were here continue to come back."
RUDDICK, a 1977 KU School of Law graduate, is no stranger to legal operations. After graduation, he worked at
He said legal services dealt with 122 clients in September and 127 in October.
Although Ruddick was willing to drop more lucrative law options to enter legal aid, he said he was not a knight in shining armor out to rescue the poor.
He said that legal services was scheduled to move into larger quarters at the Satellite Union in early 1980.
"It is inconvenient," Ruddick said. "If anyone walks into the lounge we have to move."
On days when student traffic through the office is heavy, there is little elbow room, Ruddick said. Interviews with students who are out of crowded in the lounge because of the crowds.

He said he was not bothered because in-court representation was beyond the scope of KU's Legal Aid Service.
"It all depends on what the students want," said Rudwick. "If they decide against Phase II then that is fine. I'll be happy with their decision."
HE SAID the fact that his legal aid was limited to the office had not affected his
The program is in Phase I of three phases of development. Phase I was designed to provide students with legal aid and advice. Phase II services will include training for counselors. However, the Student Senate has not decided if Phase II will be implemented.
"We get some really off-the-wall advice," Ruddick said. "We give the student some idea of what kind of a leg he should wear, where they can go for further aid."

Craig Stantifice, assistant district attorney, rested the state's case at 24 p.m., after calling 24 witnesses during the three-day old trial.
Carrol Crossfield, a Lawrence police detective, was called by Stanciffe to testify about what detectives had learned when
they interviewed Knoxsah Aug. 6, the day after he allegedly beat Housworth, and Aug. 16.
Knoxsh identified a picture of Housworth, although he said the man under the bridge looked skimmer. Knoxsh said he did not like Houswarth. Crossfield testified.
Under cross-examination, Crossfield testified that Knoash said he never beat up an old man under the bridge and tried to frustrate him, he could not remember any incidents.
Before the prosecution rested its case, Rumsfeld was asked to photograph that the prosecution wanted admitted as evidence. Rumsfeld had objected to them because he said they were inadvertent.
Rumsey said several photographs of her students at the University of Arizona autopsy should not have been allowed to be entered as evidence because "the probative value is far outweighed by the prejudice."
Stancliffe argued that the pictures were

King ruled that the pictures should not be admitted.
The debate over the photographs was not heard in the presence of the jury.
After the prosecution rested its three charges, Rumsay moved that all three charges against Knoxsh be dismissed. King denied the motion.
In addition to revealing that Knoxchak would testify during the trial, Rumsey said in his opening statement that the defendant was not charged with killing the six-man, six-woman jury the
significance of that fact would be explained later.
Rumsey called several witnesses before the court recessed for the day.
Both men testified that Knoxsah had beaten Housworth.
