New senate told to move slowly

The Classified Senate must treat carefully to gain the acceptance of University governance even after it is adopted. The Classified Senate, according to governing leaders,
"I would say one of the possible problem would be that certain policies related to academic life at the University would not be of interest to classified employees.
Evelyn Swartz, president of the Board of Directors, instructed the Council had instructed its Committee Organization and Administration to examine ways of integrating the Classified Agents into the Community.
"We must recognize the unique function served by each governance body," Swartz said.
However, Joseph Collins, interim chairman of the Steer's steering committee, said classified employees were involved that came before University governance.
“WHEN SOMETHING DOESN’T work, it affects the students, faculty and classified employees differently,” he said. “If a student is involved, we help.” We’re the hub of the University.
"If there is an issue we are not directly concerned with, then we will listen respectfully."
Margaret Berlin, student body president, said she taught the Classified Senate should be cautious in pursuing its goals through University governance.
"They shouldn't 'push themselves too quickly into university governance,' Berlin said. "But they've already done a good job, and I have been able to out details before going on the line."
ceptance, the Classified Senate must avoid friction with other governance organizations.
Srinivasan said he did not anticipate any problems with integrating the Classified Senate into University governance, but advised a slow transition.
"The process might be slow, but it is much better that way than overdoing something or stepping on the toes of the established ones. An enthusiastic effort to get things done fast."
SRINIVASAN SAID the success of the new senate depended on the representatives The Classified Senate sent to the University Senate.
However, Collins said he was not worried about the qualifications of classified employee representatives.
"From what I've seen of our candidates running for the Senate," he said, "I don't think we'll have any trouble having plenty of people to consider for goverment."
Collins said he wanted to avoid situations in which the faculty and Classified Senate were played against each other.
AS AN EXAMPLE, Collins said the administration had used misleading comparisons of faculty and classified employee salaries to gain greater salary increases for the faculty.
"The administration says state employees got a 10 percent pay raise last year," he said, "Some people out there in Kansas may have gotten that much. When you look at what the people on the hill you find that some only get to 5 or 6 percent."
Classified employees support a pay raise for the faculty, Collins said, but think they deserve the same.
"We all need from the same pot," he said. "Everyone works for the students. If the University does not operate on that basis, there is no reason for it to exist."

Panel says lesbians important to feminism
By JUDY WOODBURN

Although the role of lesbians in the women's movement has long been debated, a panel of four women last night agreed that lesbians played a vital role in feminism.
And regardless of sexual preferences, women should focus on their similarities within the movement, they said.
About 30 persons attended the panel discussion in the Pine Room of the Kansas Union, which was a part of Gay Awareness Week at KU.
One woman, who asked not to be identified, said that early in the women's movement, lesbian feminists were not well-received by other feminists.
"Many women were afraid that lesbians would give the women's movement a bad name," she said. "Betty Friedan once called lesbians the 'lavender menace.'"
As feminist speak out against male domination and institutions that only operate on gender, she says: "we would expand to the sphere of personal relationships, where it becomes
Eventually, the woman said, women grew to accept lesbians as a valid part of the women's movement. If they were called to testify, she said, she discredited their feminist activities, she said, they could reply that lesbianism was not necessary and did not grant them from being active feminists.
She said separatism could manifest itself in several ways, including refusal to listen
SOME LEBSIANS, she said, took the extreme point of view that a woman must be a lesbian to be a true feminist. She said they argued that if a woman was not a lesbian, she would be wasting too much of her energy on developing relationships with
Friedan is the author of several feminist books.
nany murarr, a member of the panel who described herself as a separatist, said separatism was inherent in feminism and lebianism.
A woman's energies and interests directed toward women to the exclusion of men is called seismatism.

"Lebanism is integral to the feminist movement," she said. "Any feminist has to examine her sexual choices carefully because as a feminist she begins to see women in a more positive light, instead of men in a more competitive as competition for the attention of men."
to songs with sexist lyrics or refusal to watch television shows that were degrading to women.
Pat Henry, another member of the panel, said women in the feminist movement must be supportive of other women's sexual choices.
"THE SIBLING RIVALY is not helpful to the women's movement. "Springer said, "In our own movement, who are out of the move into the movement. That means housewives as well."
Marlene Springer, a panel member, said she thought it was immoral to exclude lesbians from the feminist movement.
"I think we are now at the stage where, with a great deal of confidence, we can explain to her that I have never been the Women's movement has discovered that we can't change the world having already done it."
"And I don't think you change men by refusing to talk to them."
But, she said, lesbian separtism was no longer essential to the feminist movement.

Organizations bid for more funds

Four student organizations met with the Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee last night and requested block allocation increases totaling $2,143.
Organization funds through the Senate Revenue Code receive an automatic block allocation from the $11.10 student activity fee. Those grouped funds are considered to be responsible and permanent campus funds that will spend the money allocated to them.
The University Theatre, KJH-KFM Radio, the Student Bar Association and the KU Chamber and Concert Music Series are funded through the Senate Revenue Code
The University Theatre proposed two possible funding plans. The first plan requested a $4,786 increase over the current
budget of $36,015. This plan would increase its share of each student's activity fee from .80 to 1.11.
The second plan requested an allocation of $50,000 for each of the next three years. This plan would be an increase of $13,844 over the current budget. The theatre's share of the student activity fee under this plan would be $1.38 from each full-time student.
Jack Wright, acting director of the college, said that the increase under the second year will stabilize the program and enable faculty members to seek outside resources, such as
"In future years, with all the dials on the University's funds, it will be important for art programs, especially theatre, to cultivate outside funding," he said.
He admitted that the second plan was a new approach and that he was not sure whether it would be accepted.
"WE DON'T WANT to have to come here year after year and keep asking for more money. Everyone is doing that," Wright said.
With a larger operating budget, he said, the faculty would be free to spend more time seeking outside funding instead of figuring budget cuts. The quality of the program was also important to make the theater program more attractive to private interests, Wright said.
KJHK-FM Radio reported that its block

awareness of the station and long-term
capital improvements were listed as
Not Brett Sayre, station manager, said. "Since KJHK recently started broadcasting 24 hours a day, the wear and tear on equipment and space shortages have increased."
THE INCREASE IN KJIKH's portion of each student's activity fee would be from 25 cents to 50 cents.
The Student Bar Association requested a $2,200 increase from its allocation of $73.00 per student to $84.00 per student to upgrade the student newspaper, Dicts. Its share of each student's activity fee was reduced from $160 to $120.
Cindy Morgan, SBA treasurer, said, "Both of these projects would improve the reputation of the KU Law School. We have made a difference in one of the best law schools in the country."

College-city relations 'sensitive'
Staff Renorter
By ANN LANGENFELD
Officials of universities and of the cities they are in must work together toward their mutual benefit, a keynote speaker said Wednesday. Eight conferences were in the Kansas Union.
The speaker, Ted Tedesco, vice-chair for business affairs at the University of Illinois, said even though university was a small city regulations, the university chancellor or president should be sensitive to the city, with 95 percent of potential university-city proximity.
However, sometimes it is difficult for city and university officials to work together because they are organized differently, he said.
Tedesco said he was speaking from a unique position because he had been a city manager for several cities. Only in the last decade has he worked on the other side as a university administrator.
CITY OFFICIALS HAVE problems dealing with university officials because it often is difficult to identify who is qualified to speak for a university, he said. Decision-making at a university can be slow and time-consuming, as many committees involved in an issue, he said.
"Also the process of debate seems more important than the decision."
Tedesco said university officials sometimes seemed paranoid about anyone getting involved in their procedures.
A university often looks at city government as just one more legislative body to
deal with, he said. Universities already must deal with regents, governors and state legislatures.
"The university takes the approach that 'the city should be glad we are here,'" he said.
THE ADVANTAGES OF being a citizen in relation to other cities in the country, Tesco said, because such cities are economically strong and strong.
Lawsuit involving universities and cities often indirectly affect other universities and cities, he said.
For example, in Boulder, Colo., the city wanted the university to charge a sales tax for sporting events, he said. The university agreed to the plan, but the regents did not.
The issue was taken to court and the city lost the case.
"I am afraid that other cities now have been caught by the court's decision."
City and university officials especially should work together when a university decision would affect the city, he said.
AN EXAMPLE OF a university's stress on a city occurred in the late '80s when universities gave up their quasi-parental control over students, he said. When the universities gave up their parental control, they were forced to houseage, causing housing problems for the cities.
Discussion of mutual university and city issues needs the full support of the chancellor or president of the university to be successful, Tedesco said.
Iranian oil exports cut off; port strike cited
WASHINGTON (AP) — Iranian oil exports to the United States could be a by-shutdown of the country's only crude port. A U.S. official said the shutdown might have stemmed from a strike by port workers.
Initial reports came to administration and congressional sources from the CIA and other agencies. Carter administration sources that said loading of U.S. tankers had been halted at least indefinitely.
But a state department official said other reports indicated that loading all of its tankers in Tokyo was virtually confirmed by reports from Iran to Japanese trading and
U. S. oil company executives in Washington reported an interruption in
Iran's oil shipments to America and said it appeared a threatened oil boycott of the United States had begun.
The reported shutdown came as the United States sought to release the release of about 60 hostages by militant students at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. The students and the government are demanding that the deposed Shah Pahlavi Palace return from New York, where he is receiving medical care, to face trial in Iran.
There had been threats that the revolutionary government might halt oil shipments to the United States to enforce that demand.
At the time the reports were made public, Carter was meeting with his National Security Council to discuss the Iranian hostage situation.
Last winter's cutoff of Iran oil exports, which led to a world shortage of petroleum, came when workers shut down the oil fields in support of the revolution.
A State Department official said there was no official explanation of yesterday's shutdown nor was there any indication of how long it would last.
The Carter administration repeated it would not return the shah nor would it use the United States to mediate the Uttarpradesh administration said it expected protection for the hostages from the anti-American Revolutionary Council that Khomini ordered to run after Prime Minister Abul Kalam巴拿马国政机密。
U. N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim is "extremely concerned" about the situation and is trying to help mediate a peaceful conflict his spokesman said at the United Nations.
Khomeini ordered his council to run the government after accepting the resignation of Bazar冈 earlier in the day. Later, the council asked the ministers to continue their duties for the time being. Tehran radio in a broadcast monitored in London.
Addressing the hostage issue, Khoumei, speaking from the holy city of Qom in a town north of Tehran, asked the agency Tass, said: "Some people are now pressing that students should leave that country when they are sent to Iran when the United States is weaving conspiracies against us. We demand that the United States should extradrate the criminal government of Iran and that such extradition should extradite criminal Bakkari," a reference to Shapour Bakkari, prime minister under the fallen government of the U.S.
