Panel lacks quorum;
TA fee waiver fails
By GENE GEORGE Staff Reporter
TOPEKA- Because it could not muster a quorum at yesterday's meeting, the Legislative Interim Committee on Education could not authorize a 10 percent waiver of fees allowed a 100 percent waiver of fees for graduate teaching assistants.
Only four legislators were present at yesterday's meeting, and the only action the committee could take was to file the request in its report to the full Legislature, effectively killing the plan because the committee cannot reconsider it at its next meeting.
The Associated Students of Kansas, a lobby group, wanted the committee to recommend the full waiver proposal as a bill to be considered by the 1982 Legislature, in case Gov. John Carlin decides not to include the plan in his budget request to the lawmakers.
CURRENTLY, 60 percent of fees are waived for graduate teaching assistants, but ASK thought a full year of training is better qualified applicants and better-qualified applicants.
Robert Bingaman, ASK executive director, said he was disappointed with the committee.
He said 11 legislators were appointed last spring to serve on the committee and ASK thought five of them would vote to support the plan.
But one of the plan's supporters resigned over the summer, making an ASK victory impossible even if
there had been enough members present yesterday.
The fee waiver plan is in the Board of Regents budget request for fiscal year 1982, but it covers only teaching faculty and does not the other graduate assistants.
Bingaman said that the plan was the result of a compromise.
He said last year, Gov. Carlin would not agree to a complete fee waiver for all graduate students.
But for this budget year,
Bingham said, "We talked theRaleigh government into supporting a fee waiver for graduate teaching assistants."
AT THE LAST legislative session,
a similar plan was killed in the
Senate Ways and Means Committee.
That action shocked Bingaman, who had thought the plan would pass.
"This year, we are really going to do our homework," he said.
Only one committee member spoke against the plan at yesterday's meeting.
State Sen. Billy McCray, D-Wichita, said, "I need to see more justification. It wasn't totally sold to me."
McCray said 100 percent tuition waivers might result in the overuse of graduate teaching assistants.
Although ASK still wants full fee waivers for all graduate assistants, it is supporting the Regents request for $211,045 to pay for the tuitions of just the teaching assistants next fiscal year.
On the Record
The accident occurred near 15th
Street on Sunday 2 a.m.

A 25-year-old Lawrence man and his 16-year-old sister walked away from an accident early yesterday morning with a broken neck. The man had flown, skipped, spun and flipped.
Police said the ear then landed and added several hundred feet while splitting in.

Prof favors ovulation method birth control
By KATHY BRUSSELL Staff Reporter
Artificial methods of birth control may offer protection against pregnancy, but they represent just another way in which people learn to protect themselves with their bodies according to a KU professor who advocates an alternative.
"Even if it's just one woman, you have to wonder what the medical profession is doing to educate the people so they can live with their bodies and their natural fertility."
"A healthy woman can start taking the pill and end up sick or dead." William Keel, assistant professor of German, said recently.
Keel, and his wife, Nancy, are training to become certified practitioners of natural family planning, a method of either achieving or avoiding pregnancy. They have knowledge of a woman's cyclic periods of fertility and infertility.
Natural family planning works without the use of drugs or the insertion of foreign objects into the body, Keel said.
In addition, the natural methods have no known medical side effects and are relatively easy to learn and use, he said.
KEEL TEACHES the "ovulation method" of natural family planning, which is based on a woman's observation of her discharge of cervical mucus.
"She checks to see whether there is mucus present or not, and notes the quality, consistency and color of the mucus. She keeps a daily record of her observations and is able to chart the general picture of her gynecological health."
The average woman has four or five days of "ideal mucus flow" around the time of ovulation, during which time she is potentially fertile, he said.
Cervical mucus is significant because for a woman to be pregnant, she must be
The ideal mucus provides the alkaline environment necessary for the survival of sperm and is of a contrast to the sperm to move into the uterus, he said.
"We teach couples to avoid having sexual relations on the days of mucus build-up if they wish to prevent pregnancy." Keel said.
"If a couple is having trouble conceiving, it can pinpoint the best time of the month to achieve pregnancy. This method isn't only a means of contraception; it's a family-planning technique."
ONCE A WOMAN learns to distinguish different kinds of cervical mucus, she not only can identify her fertile periods, but often can detect abnormalities in the mucus that may cause inflammation in the uterus or cervix. Keel said.

the ovulation method is 99.6 percent effective for avoiding pregnancy, exactly the same rate medical studies has cited for the birth control pill, he said.
For achieving pregnancy, the method is roughly 76 percent effective during the first complete menstrual cycle of use, he said.
"Moreover, the ovulation method is usable in every possible situation a woman can be in, whether she's just stopped using the pill, is breast-feeding or wering a child, has had an abortion or is in the pre-menopause phase," Keel said. "That's where the rhythm, or calendar, method falls down."
Keel and his wife began their yearlong practitioners' training in September at the Creighton University School of Medicine in Oranha, Neb. As interns, they have begun teaching nursing and training to couples in the Lawrence area.
The ovulation method, a refinement
of the Billings method first introduced in the 1980s, is a practical alternative for Catholices who want to use some form of contraception, but are forbidden by their religion to use artificial birth control, Keel said.
Lort Webb, an abortion counselor for Comprehensive Health Associates of Overland Park, said the ovulation problem was not the only reason for all of the patients she worked with.
"I think the method would be really wonderful for the right people, especially Catholics who don't want to use an artificial method. As far as the total population goes, it wouldn't be as ideal as he thinks."
"There's so much room for human error in testing mucus," she said. "If our patients, particularly the younger ones, aren't willing to learn how a diaphragm or pills work, they won't be motivated enough to test their mucus regularly or to abstain during the indicated fertile periods.
