Personal contact strategy chosen
By DON SMITH Kansan Staff Reporter
(Editor's note: This is the last in a series of four stories on teams of candidates running for student body president and vice president.)
Sherbo
Substituting personal contact for camp poster ads and ads is the strategy being used by Paul Sherbo, candidate for student body president. Sherbo said last week that he didn't think this strategy would be detrimental.
"It's (his strategy) at least as important as the issues," he said.
"We are not going to put up any posters or flyers or ads," he said. "We want to go around and talk with the students and get their ideas.
"We're not going to sell ourselves like toothnaste."
Sherbo, Colorado Springs, Colo., junior,
and his running mate, Gerald Long, Kansas
City, Kan., junior, spent $5 to register for the election and about $1.50 for petitions that were signed by 500 students supporting their candidacy. They and they didn't in-
"We not going to spend money,"
"We're going to spend our time and energy."
"If I personally contact 700 students, I'll be ecstatic," Sherbo said. "If I can do more, I will."
SHERBO SAID HE HAD conducted a person-to-person campaign. He said he visited with 200 students the first week of school and planned to visit more before the election.
Complementing their campaign style are
issues Sherbo and Long are emphatic.
-Increased scrutiny of the University or Kansas Athletic Corporation.
- Lowering residence hall costs.
- Extension of Watson Library hours
Sherbo said his main object of my office is working was that it wasn't an effective application.
"IT'S NOT DOING the job. That's what it amounts to," he said.
Sherbo said he wasn't satisfied with the department's handling of the rape problem on the University of Kansas campus last fall. The professor, who time was put on traffic rather, than seated
"They would strap on their guns and get in their E L Caminos and go out and ticket cars."
He said the Lawrence Police Department could perform the security function of the department and the parking function could be performed. He said he would not tickets. He also said that an escort
operation could be set up and that lighting on campus should be improved.
"IF SOMETHING BAD happened, what about the Lawrence Police. If something happens, security and parking call them anyway," he said. "Why do we need messenger boys?"
If elected, Sherbo said, he wouldn't have to blaspheme the department but would work for it.
He said he would support an effort to have the athletic corporation board composed of one-half student representatives and would consult with Chancellor Archie R. Dykes about a move. He said he also would attempt to get Senate support.
"When the people at the KU athletic corporation look at the number of votes we get, they will say, 'Those people (the voters) buy tickets.' Sherbo said."

Other fees to be paid by all groups are the cost of supplemental sound equipment and
A utility charge, based on current utility rates, will also be paid by both University and non-University groups. The utility charge on university students will be $0.05 per stadium will be $0.05 an hour. For Hoch Auditorium and University Theatre the utility charge will be $12 an hour.
The cost of use of the facilities of the University of Kangas is no longer cheap.

A University policy announced Wednesday put a $500 a day price tag on the use of Allen Field House and Memorial Stadium in University, nonstudent commercial groups.
Hoch Auditorium and University Theatre will be less expensive, costing $200 a day for the play.

The fee policy, which affects both University and non-University institutions, is a non-study by the University administration. The policy not only sets rates for use or University buildings but also requires that concession be kept by the University administration.
The policy was a result of rising costs, the statement said, and was needed to recover costs incurred in the production of special events.
Shankel said this fee represented no change from past policy and that specific costs would be negotiated by the University Events Committee. He said these extra personnel would be paid one and one-half times their normal salary.
All groups, including University associated groups and those unrelated to the University such as rock groups and religious organizations, will have to pay for necessary security and buildings and grounds personnel.
The policy outlines three types of charges for use of University facilities.
Del Shanker, executive vice chancellor,
said Wednesday that the policy would force
organizations with small budgets to think
before applying for use of University faculty.

Sick leave plan debated
BY BETTY HAEGELIN
Kansan Staff Renorter
A proposed sick leave policy for unclassified employees could cause a striking change in the University of Kansas, Arthur Breigholm. SenFX member, said Wednesday.
Although the plan is the same as the one presented use by classified employees at the plant.
If adopted, the sick leave plan would require extensive records of the time spent by faculty members in offices or elsewhere on campus. This information would be needed to determine how much sick leave time faculty members had used and would probably be compiled on a daily basis. The question arose as to how long a leave period should his department office might be determined and whether research time would thus be monitored.
relatively simple because they have a set 40-hour work week. But if this same system is applied to faculty, SemEx members said, it would make the subject the faculty to clock timeworks.
Seaver said he feared that the new system would cause the University to keep a tremendous amount of records, but this was not going to be useful for unused stick time could be received
Drug analysis plan to be reconsidered
"THIS WOULD FRIEND a kind of clocking in," James Seaver, chairman of SenEx, said. "But apparently by law were 'took away' with some sort of system for sick leave."

One consideration of the plan, Seaver said, is getting built up sick time for faculty members who are retiring at the end of this year. The state won't give these people compensation without a definite plan, he said.
Several local groups are considering the possibility of reestablishing a drug analysis center, Jim Supica, director of Headquarters, said Tuesday.
"Right now we're just trying to generate local support for the program," he said. "We're not sure if we'll be able to set up the system, or if we're going to be propped and padding still have to be worked out."
Kansan Staff Reporter
Suprice said that the drug analysis center was in the "preplanning stages" and that no definite decisions were presently being made.
Nancy Hartman, planning coordinator for the Douglas County Drug Abuse Council, said initial interest in re-establishing the drug analysis center was generated in October at a governor's conference on drug abuse.
She said that Rick Silber, a member of the council, briefly discussed the possibility of a drug analysis center with Atty. Gen. Curt Schneider,
Silber said, "My impression from the conference was that there were a lot of
misconceptions about what a drug analysis program included. I had an informal conversation with the attorney general about the possibility of a drug analysis program, and he seemed willing to talk more about it at a later date."
Roger Theis, assistant attorney general, said that Schneider planned to meet with the attorney general and advocate for further discussions on the center. Theis said he was uncertain whether the attorney general would permit the amendment of the drug analysis program.
Many aspects of the plan and the ultimate effect of the plan on faculty haven't been properly considered, Breipohl said, and many could cause a change in faculty attitudes.
"This is going to affect faculty and the University more than we can even see," Breiphol said. "I think that work on the weekends or after hours is going to stop if we have to be accounted for like in an industry, and I don't like it."
"A decision on the program would have to be based upon a clear matter of legality as to whether federal and state licensing were involved." he said.
Berkowitz said he hadn't any knowledge of any meeting with the attorney general, but that if Schneider said the drug analysis program was legal, he would support it.
Headquarters and the KU School of Pharmacy operated a drug analysis program from spring 1970 until June 1973 when Attorney General Merv Miller ruler
"In the federal government, it is required that every office announce what its hours are, and employees must leave the office when it closes." Heller said. "If this type of thing is applied to us, I can see some frightening possibilities down the line."
FRANCIS HELLER, SENEX member, said if faculty members were going to be treated like all other state employees, then they might get overtime might be applied on campus.

SenEx also examined interim guidelines on smoking at the University. Heller said the guidelines, compiled by Del Shanklet, contained recommendations against enforcement regulations in them.
SenEx decided to send the proposed policy to the committee on Faculty Rights, Privileges and Responsibilities (FRPR) for further evaluation.

THE PRESENT STATE and University regulations prohibit smoking in most public areas, and the guidelines had been expected to be enforced in which the regulations could be enforced.
haphazzard and usually ineffective,
especially in large lecture classes. Voigt
has asthma, so smoke isn't just annoying,
but dangerous to her, she said.
"Most of my professors have been helpful and fairly successful in smaller classes," Voigt said. "But in large lecture classes the rule's almost immune to enforcement."
Voidt said she had been forced to drop classes several times because of the concentrated levels of smoke in the classrooms, and once had an asthmatic attack because of classroom smoke. She said the lack of enforcement was rather surprising because in Alabama, a smoker could be sued if he caused a fire in an asthmatic attack by his smoking.
"I'm slightly distressed to see certain aspects of our smoking policy changed in the past." I should have the rule. Now we need to go on record for providing specific means of enforcing it.
GERHARD ZUTHER, SENEX member,
said the University Council had already
passed a definitive set of regulations on
the probation of smoking in classrooms
and other public places. The question at
this time is the problem of enforcement, he said.
A problem of adequate enforcement is that many professors either smoke in class or don't enforce the no smoking rule for students. Some Sen Exm members said definite directives on procedures to prohibit smoking should be formulated.
"We should perhaps empower and instruct professors that if smoking occurs during a class, the lecture should come to an end until the smoking is halted." Zuther said.
There was some question in SenEx whether the document had already been sent out for final printing, and whether SenEx comments would be taken into consideration before the guidelines were printed. James Seaver, chairman of SenEx, said that meeting it was his understanding that the guideline had been sent to the printer.
HOWEVER, SHANKEL SAID after the
guidelines hadn't been sent to
be taken.
SenEx also said the guidelines should give greater emphasis to the inconvenience to people caused by smoking rather than the property damage involved.
"I think the real interest isn't because of the building damage, but because of the harm to individuals like Miss Voigt," Joel Sen, Golden Sen, member said.
Senate says no to liquor bill
Sen. Norman Gaar, R-Westwood, floor manager of the resolution in the Senate, said there would be no further attempt this session to promote the amendment.
TOPEKA (AP) - Liquor-by-the-drink went down the drain for another legislative session Wednesday when the Senate fell four votes shy of the required two-thirds needed to approve a resolution calling for submission of the issue to voters in 1976.
"It would be a waste of time," he said when asked if it was possible the resolution to be reached.
In his moment of defeat, Gaar vowed he wouldn't carry a similar resolution in the Senate next year when it still could be readied for the 1976 general election ballot.
The jubilant spokesman for the dry forces, the Rev. Richard E. Taylor Jr., said, "The Kansasans took a stand for people above profit for alcohol pushers. Concerned citizens are grateful. Kansas leads the nation with drug control laws."
Gaar said he wasn't bitter or surprised, but admitted to some frustration after carefully maneuvering the resolution of the local option and amending the local option provision. That provision supposedly would have been made able to some fences-stranding House members.
On final call call, 23 senators—15
Russian lawmakers. Democracy
supports the proposed measure.
Kansas repealed prohibition in 1948 and initiated private clubs in 1965, but has voted only in 1970 for a liquor-by-the-drink amendment which would have repealed the state's constitutional ban on the "open saloon."
16-10 Republicans and six Democrats-
were opposed. One GOP senator was
absent. It took 27 votes for the two-thirds
required to require an amendment.
The resolution, introduced by five Republican and five Democratic senators on the opening day of the session last month, had been amended in committee to put the governor calling city and county elections to "go-drink" on the proponents of liquor-by-the-wet.

But the day that amendment was adopted, Sen. J. C. Tillotson, R-Norton, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said it didn't change a single solid dry vote in the full Senate. Tillotson that day privately that the resolution was doomed.
The 1970 proposition, which didn't contain any local option provision, lost by just 11,000 votes at 681,000 cast, but proponents have argued that the legislation support for a second vote.
If people don't voluntarily comply with no smoking guidelines released Wednesday, the administration will develop enforcement procedures to make sure they do.
Brrr
The resolution most certainly will be run again next session. But because it was 18 votes shy of winning approval in the House in the 1974 session and four votes shy in the Senate this session doesn't bode well for proponents.

No-smoking rules to be implemented
according to Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor.
The two-page memorandum spelling out interim no smoking guidelines for nonresidential buildings on campus was developed to clarify and re-state no smoking regulations passed a year ago by the University Council, Shankel said.
"We hope to count on people's goodwill in following the guidelines," he said. "If not, we'll have to develop procedures to make sure the guidelines are enforced."
Enforcement of the guidelines may become easier because of a bill now under consideration. The bill would prohibit smoking in public places and violation would be classified as a misdemeanor, Shankel said. Conviction would carry a maximum fine of $100, he added.
Mike Miller, Kansas Union activities adviser, said SUA didn't have any concrete policies regarding enforcement of no firearms for events planned by that organization.
"We'll try to come up with a number of alternatives," he said. "I don't expect the first thing we come up with is going to have great success."
Dave Martin, president of SUA, said, "I'm almost more worried about performers smoking on stage than the audience. It's the most dangerous areas as a fire bazaar."
The guidelines state that smoking can be permitted only in offices, corridors and restrooms whose doors are covered with privacy screens. They also require consumption and seminar rooms, providing that no one present objects and that proper waste receptacles are available.
Shankel said the no smoking rule would apply in Hoch AUDitorium, Wescoe auditoriums and other facilities during weekdays. The rule is limited to outer lobbies of these areas.
