SPORTS: The Kansas football team gears up for its season opener at Oregon State, Page 9 δΈ€ THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS VOL. 102, NO. 11 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1992 ADVERTISING: 864-4358 (USPS 650-640) Second witness testifies in hearing NEWS:864-4810 1991 law school graduate says Tonkovich used grades to pressure her into oral sex By Lynne McAdoo and KC Trauner Banski staff writers A 1991 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, Tannee 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, ensured McVey performed oral sex for the 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 McVeytestified that in July 1988, her first year in law school, she was invited to a classmate's party, where Tonkovich was also a guest. At the party, McVey talked at length with Tonkovich outside and later inside the apartment, she said. She first supplied a written statement about the alleged harassment to Dr 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, Tonkovich walked her to her car and asked whether grades were important to her. "I itmade me feel uncomfortable that it was talking about grades with me," she said. Meyved 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 sav anything. I didn't want to make any waves. I did not want to offend him. During their walk, Tonkovich talked about grades at two separate occasions and also kissed her, McVey said. MeyVax that after they got back in the car, Tonkovich unzipped his pants, pulled out his penis and said, "don't you do something for me?" Mcveyn then 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 worried my corner and I didn't have any choice." She also testified that while she was performing felatio, Tenkovich put his hand down her pants. Tonkovic 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. 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. The Kansan article also did not include the part of her allegation detailing the walk to Potter Lake and Tonkovich putting his hand down her pants. 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. 1 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 her degree the degree from the Office of Affirmative Action. John Michel, professor of speech-language-hearing, asked McVey why she told her story to the Kansan 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." Buffaloest talking defense? The Associated Press Bill McCarthy would love to talk about his defense at Colorado, but is anyone listening? "This is a big step for us," McCartney says. "It's a risk, I know that." Not really. Not when you scrap an offense that has produced three Big Eight Conference titles and a national championship the past three years. McCartney arrived at Colorado 10 years ago with a passing game, and the Buffaloes won a total of seven games his first three years, including a 1-10 record in 1984. So does everyone else. The Buffalooes unveiled the new look β€” a pass-oriented scheme with one back and three receivers β€” in losing 30-25 to Alabama in the Blockbuster Bowl. A year later he went to the wishbone, which later evolved into the I-bone, and Colorado has gone 58-24-3 since then, 30-5-2 over the past three years. Still, McCarter is convinced the new offense will make Colorado a perennial winner. "We all felt like it was time," he said. "As we look to the future, we thought the schedule was very challenging. We didn't want to wait one year too long and say we wished we'd come it before." Now all he needs is a quarterback, Kordell Stewart and Vance Joseph started fall practice in a deadlock, and McCartney isn't ruling out Koy Detmer, brother of former Heisman Trophy winner Tv Detmer. The defense could be McCartney's best ever. Eight starters led, by one of the finest groups of linebackers in the nation. Greg Biekert has led the team in tackles the past two years, averaging 12-1/2 a game. Outside linebacker Ron Woolford had 13 sacks last year, and Chad Brown has come on strong since moving to the outside. "Defensively, we won't be changing looks that much, but we want to play more aggressively and be less pre- year is no different. Nebraska coach Tom Osborne knows little about uncertainty at quarterback. He's been through that the past three years, and this "It would be nice to have a two- or three-year starter back." Osborne said. What he has is senior Mike Grant, who missed last year with a broken collarbone and was erratic in the few games he has started. Grant at least has some game experience. Osborne's options are freshmen Tommie Frazier and Tony Veland. But the Comhuskers also have two of the top running backs in the country. Calvin Jones averaged 8.3 yards a carry last year as a freshman, and Derek Brown led the Huskers with 1,313 yards. "They're probably the best pair of backs we've had here since Roger Craig and Mike Rozier. "Osborne says. Oklahoma is two years removed from NCAA sanctions and has its thinnest squad in years. Any injuries, especially in the interior lines, could be devastating. blowout over Virginia, is ready to make this his team. "That needs to happen; he's anxious for that to happen, and he has the talent to make that happen," Gibbs said. "There's a clear understanding on everyone's part that we've got a quality quarterback." But Coach Gary Gibbs' only worry at quartetback is that Cale Gundy spend the spring playing baseball. Gibbs believes Gundy, who finished last year throwing for 329 yards in a Gator Bowl Oklahoma State has not had a quality quarterback since Cale's brother, Mike Gundy, graduated three years ago. Coach Pat Jones signed two junior college transfers from California β€” Andy Loveland and Derek Chapman. For the first time in 71 years, the Cowbucks failed to win a game last season. But Jones said goodbye to three years of NCAA sanctions that have crippled a team that just four years ago went 10-2. Coach Glen Mason believes this is the most depth he's had at Kansas, although the Jayhawks must replace running back Tony Sands. Kansas State loses quarterback Paul Watson and receiver Michael Smith, but the defensive line could be best the Wildcats have ever had. Say hello to a revival in the state of Kansas. Both Kansas and Kansas State had winning seasons last year, the first time that has happened in 58 years. "We've made a lot of progress, but we know we have a long way to go," Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said. "It would be very easy to slip back to the bottom." Iowa State, which has had just two winning seasons (6-5) the past 12 years, is going to the option. "It's not going to be three yards and a cloud of dust," coach Jim Walden said. "Nebraska says, 'Here we come.' We're not a school that can say that. We say, 'Here we come, catch us if you can.' The option fools you, that's all." Missouri returns quarterback Phil Johnson, who set a school record last year with 2.187 yards in total offense. But the Tigers finished second to last in total defense last year and have anon-conference schedule that includes Illinois, Indiana and Texas A&M. Iowa State puts on a new look for this season on the offensive side. Coach Jim Walden has gone back to the triple option he used while at Washington State. Defensively, the Cyclones return no starters but do return two starting linebackers and the entire defensive backfield. The Cyclones finished 3-7-1 last season, but Walden is excited about the fact that his team numbers are better than in any of his five seasons and his talent is up as well. Tulsa, an independent, parlayed a stunning victory over Texas A&M last year into a 10-2 year and No. 21 final ranking. The Golden Hurricane loses quarterback T.J. Rubley and linebacker Mike White, but coach Dave Rader likes the depth. Is Tulsa for real? We'll find out quickly. It opens the season against Houston, at Texas A&M, Kansas and at Oklahoma State, where the Hurricane hasn't won since 1951.
