GSP-Corbin to receive new parking
It doesn't take a sage to reason why residents at GSCP-Corin Hall are having trouble finding places to park in their homes, and the Wilson director of housing, said Tuesday.
"There's simply more cars than ever before," Wilson said.
Mike Thomas, director of the KU Security and Parking Department, said the problem of parking space began last fall and had worsened in this semester.
"Too many girls brought back cars," Thomas said, "and now there are probably more cars with permits than there are spaces in the lot."
Wilson and Thomas said two lots near Wilson-Corball, at 1126 Louisiana and 1039 Indiana, had been opened for residents of the city to find parking places in the hall lot.

that were permitted.
"It isn't impossible to find a place to park at GSP-Corbin, but it's inconvenient," Wilson said. "It's more inconvenient than we'd like it to be."
"But if we have more situations like this, the Parking and Traffic Board may have to consider putting limits on some of the lots," Thomas said.
The addition will be northeast of the hall and will have an entrance on Ohio, he said. Sidewalls will be constructed leading from the lot to GSP-Corbin.
A 25-space addition for the GSP-Arrorm lots has been approved by the Kansas Board of Regents and may be completed by fall, Wilson said.
"We've had some erosion problems in that area, so a wall will also be constructed to stop that problem," he said. "The terrain is very steep there."
"However, no contracts have been let on the project vet," he said.
Until the addition is completed, Wilson said, the Indiana and Ohio lots will remain open for cars with GSP-Corbin permits. Lighting will be increased in the lot at 1128 Louisiana and will be improved along 11th in front of the residence halls.
Increased gasoline prices may affect the number of cars on campus. Wilson said
Wilson said limited space also was available on residential streets in the area.
"You need a crystal ball to tell what happens," he said. "I've heard that the fuel shortage and high prices will cause fewer cars to be on campus, but I don't think so. People who still have cars, but they may just be less if gas prices go up. That would mean we would have a bigger problem because move cars would stay parked."

Review of ROTC status to be mail ballot decision
A decision as to whether the academic status of ROTC classes will be reviewed by a College Assembly committee will be made in an email ballot, the assembly voted Tuesday.
James Carothers, chairman of the Educational Policies and Procedures Committee (EPPC) subcommittee studying ROTC credit hours, moved that the assembly allow EPPC to recommend what the College's ROTC class policy should be.
The assembly later voted to put the motion to a mall ballot.
Credit toward graduation from the College now may be given only for those persons cross-listed in other departments with nonimmortal personnel, Carothers said.
Only four Navy ROTC courses now are cross-listed with other departments. he
Carothers said he hoped approval of his motion would lead to a review of ROTC courses by the assembly on a course-by-course basis.
The main objection to giving credit for courses in ROTC is the lack of academic freedom in the selection of teachers, Richard DeGeorge, professor of philosophy, said. He said that there wasn't an open search for ROTC instructors and that he doubled affirmative action guidelines were followed.
In other action, the assembly decided that special notation for courses that fulfill

Robert P. Cobb, chairman of the assembly, said the change would make distribution requirements clearer than with the number system now in use.
A showdown is shaping up on how members of the University community would be grouped in a vote on collective bargaining.
A petition submitted Tuesday by Carl Leban, associate professor of East Asian studies and Oriental literatures and languages, and four others differed from a chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAU) in December.

affected them. He included as recent examples the Kansas Board of Regents' rulings on early faculty retirement and the procedures that deal with salaries at KU.
Leban also said he understood that it would take a petition by 30 per cent of the work unit's members to hold elections for a new government. But such could then lead to collective bargaining.
"AKU took the position that chairman, although they had supervisory tasks, were colleagues doing administrative work," she said.
FRANCES INGEMANN, AAUP president, said that chairmen were included in AAUP's proposal despite their supervisory positions.
Actually, AUAP only established a possible work unit to be used if someone else requested a different work unit determination. She said AUAP thought at its December meeting that collective bargaining wasn't necessary yet.
But a confrontation between the two proposals appears to be a certainty now, she said. The next step for the proposal is their discussion at meetings with PERB, she said.

Local firm charged with skimping
Milk Producers Marketing Company, 1800 W. 2nd, has been charged with violations of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act by Atty. Gen. Curt Schneider.
In a suit filed Monday in Douglas County District Court, Schneider charged that the firm, along with two Kansas City, Kan., firms, marked milk in three-quart containers holding less milk than the labels indicated.
The Kansas City, Kan., firms are All Star Beverages, Inc., and Grocers Dairy Company. Inc. All three farms marketed under the brand name "Always Good."
The suit also charges that Grocers Dairy Company, Inc., had failed to register with the secretary of state to do business in Kansas.
The suit seeks a permanent injunction forbidding the companies from marketing milk in containers that don't have the specified amount of milk in them and an injunction forbidding Grocers Dairy Co., from doing any further business in Kansas.
It also uses a penalty of $2,000 from each defendant for each violation of Kansas law. A $2,000 fine, plus court costs, is sought from Grocers Dairy Co., Inc., plus any penalties for not having previously registered to do business in Kansas.
A. O. (Dixie) Olson, general manager of All Star Dairy, which is part of Milk Company, said the company wasn't available for contracting with a spokesperson for All Star Dairy.
Ruling asked on deserter's job
By WARD HARKAVY Kansan Staff Reporter
Protests over the city's hiring of an Army deserter have resulted in a request for a ruling from the Manpower Planning Council in Topeka, Wes Santee, leader of the protesters and local insurance dealer, said Tuesday.
"I am pursuing this matter with the labor department and the amnesy program people." Santee said. "As soon as they will be making some recommendations."
Santee said these recommendations might include a letter from the state to city declaring the deserters' ineligibility under certain federal programs.
The man in question, Jim York, an Army deserter who returned to the United States last December, said he had been thinking of leaving Lawrence since he learned of the move to have him fired from his job with the city.
"But I'm going to wait to see what happens," he said.
Santee, representing the Marine Reserve Officers Association, has suggested that York, who returned to the United States from a five-year stay in Canada, be fired by the city parks department and that a local resident be selected to take his place.
A lengthy and emotional protest over the hiring of York dominated the city com-
Committee positions to be filled in Senate
More than 150 persons have applied for positions on Student Senate committees, and the total should reach 175 by Thursday, when students will body vice president, said Tuesday.
Reece said that when the Committee on Committees made its report to the Senate Thursday night, nearly three weeks of work would end.
The Committee on Committees consists of Reece; Erd Rolfs, student body president; Lewis Gregory, Wichita senior; Adrienne Hyle, Manhattan graduate student; and Steve Segebrecht, Prairie Village sophomore.
"We've been interviewing people nine hours a day for two and a half weeks," Holmes said.
THE COMMITTEE ON COMMITTEES doesn't eliminate applicants, Reece said. She said the committee's job was to decide who went where.
Reece said they were trying to put people on committees they were interested in, but there was a lack of funding.

Except for this, be said, there is no limit on
the number of senators.
According to Bill Blessing, Senate parliamentarian, Senate rules require from
Santee has said the city should have more specific hiring guidelines for cases such as York's. He has said that because there were equally eligible people, especially veterans, he would hire them for job for which York was hired, they, as dead residents, should have been given priority.
Besides the Finance and Auditing Committee, the Senate also has standing committees on academic affairs, student services and responsibilities, student services and sports. Reece said there were many applicants for the Academic Affairs and positions.
mission meeting last week. But the commission has refused to override the city's decision.
She said such a subcommittee would make sure that Senate-funded organizations were viable, financially responsible and abided by Senate rules.
RECEE SAID THERE was a possibility that an auditing subcommittee would be involved.
Committees are formed to get ideas and to work from them, Reece said, and the effectiveness of the committees varies from year to year.
"I think he is cheating someone out of a job," Santee said.
Santee has said he thought York might not qualify under the CETA program. He has said that the Kansas Selective Service Board has the responsibility of finding jobs for those who have returned to the United States, retired Gerald R. Ford's annee program.
Buford Watson, city manager, has defended the city staff's decision to hire York. He has said that the city had acted and hadn't given special treatment to York.
Work had been hired by the city under the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of 1973 (CETA), a federal program that local employment of people needing jobs.
But Junior Elder, Kansas Selective Service director, has said that many people in the amnesty program have sought their own jobs.
"It is within the purview of the individual to take his own job," Elder said. "We didn't believe he was a doctor."
However, Sauer has said that if York could have been placed in a job by the Selective Service, a local resident could have hired for the federally funded city job.
Santee had presented his proposal to fire York before a standing-room-only crowd of about 100 persons at the city commission meeting last week. He later met with department of Labor officials in Washington and regional federal labor office in Detroit. Mr. City, Mo., officials referred the matter to the Mamppower Planning Council in Topeka.
York has denied Santee's allegations that York received special treatment from Dave Meyers.
"I don't feel he did me any special favors. I had to see Mamie field alarms last time before I had a lot of questions."
