Second witness testifies in hearing
1991 law school graduate says Tonkovich used grades to pressure her into oral sex
By Lynne McAdoo and KC Trauer

A 191 KU School of Law graduate yesterday testified that law professor Emil Tonkovich used comments about grades to pressure her into performing oral sex.
In the second day of dismissal hearings for Tonkovich, Tamnee McVey said that after a party in the summer of 1988, Tonkovich intimidated her into performing oral sex at a campus parking lot and two months later made two harassing phone calls.
Lisa Ford, Tonkovich's attorney,
enrolled and performed oral sex for
the profession.
McVey testified that she waited to voice her complaint to Robert Jerry.
dean of the law school, until the day after she graduated because she feared retaliation from Tonkovich.
She first supplied a written statement about the alleged harassment to Del Brinkman, vice chancellor for academic affairs, on Aug 22, 1991.
Tonkovich conducted McVey's cross-examination and used that time to attempt to rebut McVey's testimony. Questioning her account of the party, he referred to two affidavits from students at the party that stated
McVey flirted with Tonkovich throughout the evening. She denied the students' allegations.
McVey said that when she left the party to go home, Tonkovik walked her to her car and asked whether grades were important to her.
"It made me feel uncomfortable that he was talking about grades with me," she said.
McVey said that Tonkovich asked her whether she wanted to go for a ride in his car and that she accepted the offer. She said that Tonkovich took her to the parking lot behind Carruth-O'Leary Hall and that then they walked to Potter Lake.
"Walking down the steps, he put his arm around me," she said. "I felt uncomfortable, but I didn't say anything, I didn't want to make any waves, I did not want to offend him.
Duringtheirwalk, Tonkovichtalked about grades at two separate occasions and also kissed her, McVey said.
McVey said that after they got back in the car, Tonkovich unzipped his pants, pulled out his penis and said, "Why don't you do something for me?"
Mcveyne said, "I didn't think I had any choice. We had talked about grades and then it all just kind of clicked in my head. In the few seconds we were talking, I felt that I was right to corner and I did not have any choice."
She also testified that while she was feltioned felloit, Tonkovich put
Tonkovich said that there were discrepancies between McVey's testimony yesterday, her written statement submitted to Brinkman and an April 23 Kansan article that featured her allegation.
Tonkovich, who last week accused McVey of having an "ever-changing" story, said that McVey's written statement did not include some details of her testimony, including her accusation that he put his hand down her pants. Through questioning, Tonkovich established that McVey also did not write anything about a walk to and from Potter Lake.
The Kansan article also did not include the part of her allegation detailing the walk to Potter Lake and which putting his hand down her pants.
McVey said her written statement had merely summarized her allegation. She said she did not give all the details because she thought it was not necessary and because she was humiliated and embarrassed about what had happened.
Tonkovick alleged through questioning that McVey had made additions to her original statement to bolster an otherwise implausible story.
McVey testified that one night in
September 1988, Tonkovich telephoned her asking to see her at her home. She said she refused.
He called ten minutes later and again asked to come over, this time suggesting they go for a drive, she said. She again refused, and he hung up.
After Tonkovich completed his cross-examination, two members of the Tenure and Related Problems Committee asked McVey questions.
McVey told E.P. Johnsen, professor of educational psychology and research, that she had not received in the course of her studies from the Office of Affirmative Action.
John Michel, professor of speech-language-hearing, asked McVey why she told her story to the Kausan and the Kansas City Star.
"I went out of frustration with the administrative process," she said. "It seemed the University was trying to sweep the whole issue of sexual harassment under the rug."

New backs aim to fill void left by departures
By David Dorsey Kansan sportswriter
Last year's top backs Tony Sands and Roger Robben ran off into the sunset last season, as Sands set two NCA4 records rushing for 396 yards in 58 carries.
But even though they are gone, running back coach Vic Adamle will the Jawahres will employ a different offensive attack to adapt to the change in talent.
Senior captain Monte Cozzens is slated to be the starting fullback on Saturday, and senior Maurice Douglas is at the tailback position.
"It won't be so one dimensional as it was before," Adamle said. "Tony was more the durable, hard-nosed type. The more carries he gets the better he is. But Mo is a different type of ball carrier. Potentially, he can be more explosive on any given play."
Douglas, who began his Kansas football career at tailback, started at fullback for eight games in 1990. Last year, Douglas decided to redshift to make the move back to tailback this fall.
Douglas said he does not feel any extra pressure following Kansas' all-time leading rusher.
"I'm beginning to realize how big an impact he's had here the last four years," he said. "He was my friend, and it's not like I feel the pressure as if he was right behind me or anything like that.
"I was a little undersized for fullback." Douglas said. "I felt like I was getting the job done, but it kind of put a toll on my body. I needed to lift a onking 230-pound linebackers, it just hurt me."
"Tony's more of a powerback. It's kind of weird because he was so small and was able to run over somebody. I feel like I can do some things to help the team this year."
Douglas has not played in a college football game since November of 1990, and Adamle said Douglas will have to undergo a transition.
"Now he's going to step on the field for the first time in a year and a half, but I think it really paid off for him as far as learning and his pledges," said Adamle. "He's done a real good job. I couldn't be more pleased with him right now. He's really doing the things I hoped he would do after a year lay-off."
Adalie said that the redshirt year was a good experience for Douglas and that he was confident about Douglas returning to top form.
"He was willing to make the sacrifice, going down on the scout team last year," Adamle said. "A game player I think will happen quickly, but you have to get yourself back in the frame of mind where you're playing a game now."
Chaka Johnson and George White will be backing up Douglas, and Adamle said he had been pleased with their work also.
"George was hurt earlier this summer, and he's looked really good," he said. "Both of those guys have contributed a lot."
It is anticipated that White will be able to play Saturday.
Cozzens backed up Robben at fullback last season and will now assume the starting role.
