American Management, a University contracted custodial service corporation, may once again be the target of complaints by KU custodians.
More than a year and a half ago, when the corporation was initially contracted by KU to provide housekeeping services, the company had been complied with about the new program.
Now the Custodian's Action Committee, a group representing most of KU's custodians, is alleged to be unethical and American Management is illegal because it violates affirmative action guidelines. A new consequence will be negotiated at the end of this year.
Custodians allege discrimination

Nuclear plant protesters to release balloons

Members of the anti-nuclear group, Radioactive-free kansas, will release about 400 helium-filled balloons Sunday from a site near the Wolf Creek nuclear plant to the construction of the plant, Chris Meacham a member of the group, said yesterday.
Pat Slick, a member of another anti-nuclear group, Wolf Creek Recovery Project, said about 20 protesters would go to the plant site at Burlington.
Bob Rives, vice president of system services for Kansas Gas and Electric, coworker of the plant, said he was not bothered by protest group demonstrations.
Slick said his group would be planting wheat to indicate their intention to regain the plant site for agricultural use.
Rives said the demonstrations did not affect public opinion enough to warrant a counter-publicity by the utility.
He said the protest groups always contacted the Kansas Highway Patrol before a
demonstration and the patrol let them act as they saw fit.
Rives said that in states where the issue of nuclear power was brought before voters, most states approved its use.
"Most people currently support nuclear power. People support the concept of nuclear power as an alternative energy source," he said.
Slick also said his group was considering a plan to disrupt construction of the plant.
"We're considering occupying the plant in
the spring, he said, "It might be as few as two people or as many as those that want to be in the classroom through nonviolence training because we are in favor of nonviolent civil disobedience."
Rives said the plant was 40 percent complete and was guarded 24 hours a day by the Pinkerton Security Co.
Mochum said the balloons would have cards attached warning the finder that he could be killed by radiation from the plant because it could travel as far as the balloon.
