Consumer Affairs to stop services if funds denied
The Lawrence Consumer Affairs Association may stop printing information for students and community consumers if request for Student Senate supplemental materials, Clyde Chapman, administrative coordinator for Consumer Affairs said yesterday.
The association will request $4,686 to pay the second half of the director's salary for this year.
If the request is denied, funds to pay the salary will be taken from city revenue-sharing funds that were to finance the publishing of handbooks, rental housing directories, pamphlets and a consumer businesses in Lawrence, Chapman said.
The Senate had paid the director's entire salary since 1972, when the association was formed. However, Chapman said, the
Senate only provided half of the salary for this year.
He said that although the association received funds from other sources, it would not be able to meet the payroll.
Chapman said that city revenue-sharing money was granted in two allocations, one of which is a grant for grants would not be available until July, leaving the association without immediate control.
the association received grants from Training Act and from county revenue sharing totaling $30,000, the money could not be used to pay salaries, according to the report.
A fall budget committee will meet from 7 to 11 p.m. Oct. 8, 9 and 10 at the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union.

AAUP rejects exigency standard
By KATE POUND
Staff Reporter
The executive committee of the KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors yesterday passed a resolution calling for the creation of Regents' definition of financial exigency.
The Regents definition, approved last month, states: "It shall be the responsibility of Regents to develop appropriate Regents institution, in consultation with appropriate campus groups, to develop a plan for reductions in personnel as necessitated by conditions of financial need."
"I think we need to press the Regents to adopt an acceptable standard of exigency," Richard Cole, a member of the executive committee, said at yesterday's meeting.
The Regents definition of eviction, a fine, requires that the student must possess such as the fault of tenured faculty to keep open an institution, has been a point of concession this fall between the two groups.
According to T.P. Srinivasan, president of the KU AUP chapter, the Regents definition is too vague and does not meet national AUP standards.
THE AAUP opposes the definition,
Srinivasa said, because it does not include
safeguards against the unnecessary declaration of exigency and it does not follow AUAP standards for notifying faculty members before termination.
According to Evelyn Swartz, vice president of the KU AAUP chapter, members also opposed the procedure used in adopting the definition.
"The Regents should not have released the resolution in the summer when faculty members do not meet." she said.
The definition was brought before the faculty for approval and most faculty groups were not meeting, and was passed before faculty members could take action against the definition. Swartz et al. (2015)
Any new discussion of the definition should have greater faculty participation, Cole said.
THE RESOLUTION passed by the AAPU included a clause asking for meeting with the Regents attorney, William Kauffman, to discuss AAPU concerns with the definition.
The resolution also asked for assurance that the Regents definition of exigency would not supersede the current KU exigency, which has been approved AUAP.
The KU policy is a seven-page document that outlines several specific steps the chancellor must follow before a condition of exigency can be declared.

The steps include consultations with other administrators, the University Council Committee on University Affairs and the Senate executive committee. The chancellor also must publicize his reasons for a declaration of exigency and a request for emergency may be held by the University Council.
KU IS THE only Regents institution with an exigency policy.
The resolution states that the Regents definition of financial accountability "in effect, does not mandate that the Regents inconvenience for a genuine financial crisis" and refuted the Regents response.
According to Srinivasa, the resolution was based on looseness on one passed last year and now has been approved. The state resolution was approved by faculty members of all the Regents schools with the highest qualifications.
is the only state institution without an AAUP chapter.
In other action at the meeting, the AAPL asked its committee on the Economic Status to increase the number of faculty members who would compare the salary increases of KU faculty members with those of administrators.
THE COMMITTEE also will analyze the salaries, years of experience and grades of all classified employees below the rank of Assistant Instructor or resident director.
The executive committee will meet Oct. 11 with Chancellor Archie R. Dykes to discuss the financial expexation definition. The next meeting will be concluded meeting of the committee is Oct. 18.
"Some of these people without doctors are making more than assistant and associate professors with doctors, and others who make our lives easier," Swart said.
FBI wrong in firing homosexual mail clerk
WASHINGTON (AP)—An appeals court ruled Thursday that the FBI acted improperly four years ago, when it fired a mail sorter without giving him a hearing.
The ruling by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals reinstates a suit challenging the right of the FBI to fire exequials in its non-investigatory cases.
The suit was brought by mail clerk Donald Ashton, who contends that he was fired solely because of his sexual preference. The FBI contends Ashton wasn't fired but "voluntarily resigned" after being confronted with the bureau's knowledge of his homosexuality.
It said, instead, that Ashton should have received a hearing before his dismissal where those issues could have been raised.
The appeals court said it was not dealing with the issue of whether Ashton was fired or resigned or whether he could have been fired solely because of his homosexuality.
The court, however, noted that it felt the courts failed to perform his duties satisfactorily for failing to perform his duties satisfactorily and without prejudice to the FB's achievement of its law-enforcement mission.
The court also took note of other personal regulations and said the FBI "seems preoccupied with what might well be thought to be the private lives of its employees."
