Prof denounces choice of Tacha for court judge
David Day, Elec
By Kady McMaster Of the Kansan staff
Tacha was nominated for the position Oct. 30 by President Reagan. If confirmed by the Senate, she will be appointed to the 10th circuit bench.
The attorney of Myra Hinman,
associate professor of English for 25
years, sent a letter by express mail
to the U.S. Attorneys Committee
R-S.C., chairman of the committee.
A KU associate professor of English opposed the nomination of Deanen Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs, as judge for the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in a letter mailed yesterday to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.
The letter, written by Hiimon's at
Phelps said that Hinman filed a sex discrimination suit against the University of Kansas and some faculty members in the late 1970s, before Tacha was appointed vice chancellor in 1891. The lawsuit, which is pending in the U.S. District Court in Topeka, criticizes KU employment policies. The suit includes promotion, recruiting and tenure deficiencies for women and other minorities.
Hinman said Tacha wasn't upholding an agreement signed by the University with the U.S. Department of Labor in 1892 that emphasized equal employment opportunities at KU.
Phelps said Tacha hires few minorities and underpays the ones who already work at the University.

Auctioneer's wares are towed automobiles
By Jennifer Benjamin Kansan Magazine writer
An auctioneer stands in the middle of a large lot at Fifth and Maple streets in North Lawrence and yells, "Much would you pay for this car."
The car could be one you would see after a demolition derby or it could be one you would see in the parking lot of a resident hall on campus.
The cars, some of which are auctioned for $30 or $40, come from the University of Kansas campus and Lawrence, Linda Faler, the bookkeeper of Jayhawk To and Storage, 50 Manle St., said last week.
The cars are stored on the service's five lots for about six months before a decision is made to auction or sell them to salvage dealers, she said.
The service, open 24 hours a day,
seven days a week, started in 1976
and tows about two to five cars during
a 24-hour period. Flaired said.
Most KU students pick up their cars, which are stored on the lof, she said. They must bring a release from parking services or the KU police department, the tow charge of $13.75 and money for the car's storage, which is $2 a day after the first two days, she said.
Most of the 50 to 53 cars on the lot now were towed in from accidents in Lawrence. Scrap from the badly damaged cars are used to build new cars.
Before auctioning or selling the car, Jayhawk Tow notifies the previous owner of the car's location and the amount due for storage, she said. The owner has 10 days to contact the service before action is taken.
After that period has expired, the owners decide whether to have an auction or sell the cars to a salvage yard. she said
"A lot of the cars are old junkers that have been abandoned." she said.
"A lot of them are from out of state especially the ones from campus.
"We keep them a little longer — sometimes up to a year — just in case the person comes back to town."
The last auction, on Aug 18, wasn't as successful as selling the cars might have been. she said
"We had a big turnout at the last auction," she said. "But we thought that some of the cars could have brought more money."

The cars on the lot now will sit for another six to eight months, she said, and then another auction or sale will occur.
Lon Faler, the owner of Jayhawk tow, said that most people who attended the auction were salvage owners, but not many Lawrence residents came
money," he said. "Some of the storage had built up to $700 to $800 and the cars went for very little.
Cars frequently come in from KU, he said. A Pontiac Vancefur, filled with clothes and other materials, has been on the lot since Sept. 27, he said on.
"A lot of people call about their cars, but don't pick them up immediately, and the storage builds up quickly." Faler said.
"You name it, we get it," he said.

"Most of the time, something is really wrong with the cars, or people would pick them up."
The service stores cars and any other vehicle parked illegally or blocking traffic, he said. One lot has a boat and a trailer on it now.
Some cars are towed after a driver is arrested by Lawrence police, for an offense such as driving while intoxicated, he said.
The cars are watched 24 hours a day, he said, so the service doesn't have a problem with cars being stolen from the lot, which is surrounded by a high fence with signs of "Keep Out" posted.
Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking services, said recently that parking services requests that the service tow cars for violations, such as parking or in a fire lane, at a handicapped zone.
If someone has excessive violations — five or more tickets — the parking officer places a wheel lock on the car, she said, so the person will have to take care of the tickets before using the car again.
"A wheel lock is better for them because they don't have to go to North Lawrence to get their car," Hultine said.
The students must fill out a release form to get the wheel lock removed or to get the car out of storage.
Over the last fiscal year, the University had 57 excessive violations and 345 offenders in other categories.
She said towing from a handicapped zone was at the discretion of the officer, unless parking services received a complaint.
Lt. Jeanne Longaker, of the KU police department, said the police occasionally called the service to tow.
"It's not something we do every day," she said.
