The attorney of Myra Hinman,
associate professor of English for 25
years, sent a letter by express mail
to the University of R.S.C.,
R.S.C. chairman of the committee.
Tacha was nominated for the position Oct. 30 by President Reagan. If confirmed by the Senate, she will be the second woman in history to be appointed to the 10th circuit bench.
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 viceancellor in 1881. 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.

Lexie Engleman prepares to attach a five-inch line to a hydrant at the practice field behind the station at 19th and Haskell streets. The firefighters participate in an hour-and-a-half of drills three days a week.
Fire station life busy
By Theresa Scott Kansan Magazine writer
The fluorescent lights gleamed starkly through a gray, morning drizzle. As the beams passed through the window panes of three oversized windows, cast a lattice shadow on the wet driveway leading to Eighth Street.
inside the garage that houses Fire Station No. 1, 748 Kentucky St., seven uniformed firefighters readied themselves for a busy day. They placed heavy, yellow-sole, black rubber boots at intermittent spots around two fire engines and one hook and ladder truck. The boots snapped to red-suspended coveralls which were rolled down around the boot tops, ready to be yanked on at a moment's notice.
All seven firefighters, who work from 7 a.m. to 7 a.m. three days a week, bustled about the garage, tending to their duties. One swept the floor, several checked the trucks, houses and equipment for cleaning, and instructed them and another hurried in and out of a door gathering supplies for the day.
As the day progressed, the level of activity did not diminish. Even when the firefighters were not dousing flames, they were busy with many other activities.
Bob Burton, captain for the "X" shift, said firefighters had to do many things besides answer alarms.
"We go over the equipment, clean the station, check the trucks out, make sure everything is ready to respond when there is an alarm, make sure the tanks are filled with water and sweep." he said. "We have to do our own习业 work."
Last year the Lawrence fire department received 1,341 alarms, averaging about three and a half calls each day. Although answering alarms is the primary function of a fire department, they are a frequent enough to keep firefighters busy. So, many other activities fill otherwise idle hours.
A sign reading "From Mrs. Troustol's 3rd Grade Centennial School." 2145 Louisiana St., decorated with skittie figures drawn in children's handwriting and colored with crayons, hung firefighters one way, firefighters spend their extra time—giving tours of the station.
Gregg Crossman, lieutenant on the "X" shift at Station No. 1, said, "We have tours of pre-school to grade school kids and seouts. Anyone that wants to can call for a tour. Sometimes firefighters from other communities want a tour."
Along with showing the station to the public, the firefighters also are responsible for educating the public about fire safety.
Lexie Engleman, who has been a firefighter for four years, is the "X" shift's public educator. She was a school teacher before she became a firefighter. That experience helps her to explain fire safety at local stores, businesses and schools, she said.
When she isn't educating the public or fighting fires, Engleman said, she has little extra time.
"We're constantly studying or doing something," she said. "We do drills or watch tapes. We never have extra time."
Firefighters also must practice drills with other fire stations so firefighting efforts may be easily coordinated when more than one station is called to the scene.
The drills allow firefighters to sharpen their skills at firefighting techniques such as using foam and ladders, at fighting a blaze on highrise buildings, and at salvaging property and removing water.
Burton said firefighters also had to check fire $^2_3$ydrants in town once every $^4/5$e years to see how much water they could emit.
