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 Kansan 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, Tamnee Meyv 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,
Lisa Ford, Tonkovich performed oral sex for
the law process.
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.
McVey testified 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.
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.
MeyVaid 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 we was talking about grades with me. silently."
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.
did not want to offend him.
During their walk, Tonkovitch talked 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?"
Meyven 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 sec- tions I was talking, I felt that I was backed into a corner and I didn't have any choice."
She also testified that while she was performing fellatio, Tonkovich put his hand down her pants.
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.
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.
Tonkovich 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. Johnson, professor of educational psychology and research, that she had not received in her training from the Office of Affirmative Action.
John Michel, professor of speech-language-hearing, asked McVey why she told her story to the Kansas 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 theug."

Backup Thomas looks forward to playing time
By David Bartkoski
Kansan sportswriter
One of Frederick Thomas' favorite memories from his high school football days in Houston doesn't have to do with the game itself but with where the game was played.
"I played in a playoff game my senior year in the Astrodome against Sugarland," he said.
Thomas, asophomore who was redshirted at Kansas in 1900, said his team lost the playoff game 18-6, but said that the game was an experience he would always cherish.
The Texan comes into the 1992 season again as No.2
Since that game in Houston, Thomas has played in five games, thrown three passes and rushed the ball six times for Kansas. Last season, he earned the back-up position behind four-year starter, senior Chin Hilleary
quarterback behind Hill-leary. He said he figured to gain more playing time this season.
"I worked throwing to receivers in Anschutzbefore we started regular practices," he said. "Now, I'm getting a lot more repetitions in practice."
He said he has improved in reading pass coverages since he arrived in 1990.
"He's made a lot of progress in his game," Mason said. "He is learning well."
One of Thomas' teammates at the quarterback position, freshman Brian Schottenheimer, said Thomas' key attribute was his ability to focus on the game.
"He goes at everything 100 percent," Schottenheimer
said. "He has a lot of confidence and a good work ethic."
Thomas used his work ethic to earn first team all-district and second team all-greater Houston honors his senior year. He was also named the most valuable player on offense that year.
Another winner of numerous prep honors, freshman tight end Jim Moore, said Thomas had a great arm and was an accurate passer. Moore said Thomas' playing style differed some from Hillary's.
"Fred's passes are a little more three-quarter whereas Chip's are over the top," Moore said. "Chip is more of an option-type quarterback than Fred."
Thomas said he hoped to maintain a high completion percentage this year and wanted to play as much as he could.
