Grievance plan to be debated
By GENE GEORGE Staff Reporter
Final changes in a plan to revamp the University Judiciary grievance procedure will be discussed tomorrow and the university Senate executive committee.
SenEx will meet after the Faculty executive committee, which meets at 1:30 p.m. in the Regents Room at Strong Hall.
SenEx approved the changes at its September meeting based on a study made by a task form it appointed last summer.
The SenEx task force has recommended renaming the Judiciary committee, reducing the number of files allowed, and the time allowed to file a grievance.
SENEX WILL examine a letter from Anthony Smith, chairman of the Organization and Administration Committee. In the letter, Smith
outlined some changes his committee would like to see before the new plan is implemented.
The Organization and Administration Committee's main concern was the ambiguity of the section dealing with departmental procedures.
Another concern of some committee members was the small number of students appointed to the various boards.
After SenEx makes any changes, the proposal will go to the University Council, which will hear the matter at its Nov. 6 meeting.
The task force's proposal includes changing the University Judiciary Committee's name to the Judicial Court of members would be reduced from 89 to 58.
The grievance procedure would be changed so that a person would have six months to file a complaint. That complaint then would have to be
distributed to Judicial Board members within 30 days.
The Board would have up to 55 days to choose a mediation panel and obtain the permit.
Before the SenEx meeting, members of the Faculty executive committee will discuss a summary of college faculty data.
The data, which would be gathered in a five-page questionnaire, would be used in making the fiscal 1982 budget requests.
FacEx Chairman George Worth said his committee would discuss some complaints concerning the question of arrest at last week's FacEx meeting.
"People are wondering why, time after time after time, they have to fill out a questionnaire telling what they do." Worth said.
The questionnaire would get information from individual faculty members, as well as from department heads.

Under a cool, cloudy autumn sky last night, the KU Observatory celestial calculator stares up at a telescope starstitute stop Lindley Hall as part of KU Astronomy Week.
The telescope is a gift from Floyd Preston, professor of chemical and petroleum engineering; his wife, June; and her mother, Mrs. Paul H. Calhoun. Cale The telescope will be known as the Dau-Preston telescope.
"With an astronomy event tonight, there was no question what the weather was going to be like." Stephen J. Shawl, associate professor of physics, director of the observatory, said as he gazed at the white crescent moon trying to fight its way through the clouds.
A planned observation period after the ceremony had to be canceled because of the cloudy skies.
THE PRESTONS were thanked by Robert Adams, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; James B. Martin, vice president of private support programs for the Kansas University Endowment Association; and J.P. Davidson, chairman of the department of physics and astronomy. Daus was unable to attend.
"No great university has ever been built solely with public funds," Martin said. "It takes private girls on this to put the icing on the cake."
According to Shawl, the new telescope is much easier to maneuver and operate than the observatory's largest telescope, which has a 27-inch mirror. The Celestron's 14-inch mirror projects a
fairly large image, Shawl said, and its maneuverability makes it especially useful for observing planets and other objects.
The telescope can be moved to a darker location, Shawl said.
"The roof of Lindley is hardly ideal for an observatory," he said. "It's a heated and cooled building, which creates some atmospheric light in the sky at the University and the city are also a problem."
Today, the observatory itself will be renamed the Clyde M. Tombaugh Observatory, in honor of the KU alumnus who discovered Pluto in 1930. The observatory will be renamed the 30 p.m. ceremony at Indoor Hall.
A lecture by Tombaugh, titled "The Search for the Planet Pluto," will follow at 8 p.m. at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

As a new engineer you'll be assigned to a project that matches your abilities and interests. You'll stay with the project from start to finish, all the while developing new skills and polishing your ability to contribute as a task force member. We think the approach makes you more capable of independent creativity, not less. At the same time you're in the perfect position to learn from more experienced professionals who come from many disciplines. For the new graduate in particular, that is a productive place to be.
So if you're thinking about your potential in the job market, why not think about doubling it? Let us tell you more about the Fluor team and about the great salary, full benefits and advancement potential that make us a top Fortune 500 company. We will be interviewing on campus Thursday, October 23, 1980 for the following disclosures:
In many ways, college prepare you to think independently. That's a great quality for an engineer to have. But just as important is the ability to work effectively on a team. We've found that the results of team work are much, much greater than the sum of the parts. That's why fluor, one of the country's largest and leading engineering construction firms, is organized totally around the team concept.
