Ex-Supreme Court justice visits KU
Goldberg says Constitution was meant to be ambiguous
Former Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg speaks to KU law students and judges of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. Goldberg, who was on the Supreme Court from 1962 to 1965, spoke yesterday at Green Hall.
Robert Bork's Supreme Court confirmation hearings are really a seminar on the Constitution, former Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg said yesterday afternoon at Green Hall.
By JULIE McMAHON Staff writer
Goldberg spoke about the Constitution in the Frank L. Snell Courtroom to a standing room only crowd, which included judges from the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The appeals court has been in session at the school this week.
Law students said that they were excited about their distinguished visitor.
"There been more excitement this week than in the last two years," said Phil Glenn, Wichita third-year law student.
Goldberg said that U.S. senators were trying to consider the original intent of the Constitution's authors during Bork's confirmation hearings. But, he asked, how original intent be determined?
"The main reason that original intent is so silly is the deliberate ambiguity of the Constitution," Goldberg said.
He said that ambiguity allowed the Constitution some flexibility and was the reason that it had lasted for 200 years.
Goldberg was a labor lawyer for the AFL-CIO from 1955 to 1961 and
the secretary of Labor for President Kennedy from 1961 to 1962. He then served on the Supreme Court from 1962 to 1965. He left the Supreme Court to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, where he served until 1963.
If the founding fathers could see some of the decisions that courts now are banding down, he said, "They're making leads because times are different.
He said that he didn't like the way the 200th birthday of the Constitution was being celebrated, with glitzy shows in Philadelphia and other cities printed on cereal boxes. 1887 should be a year of reflection, he said.
"Take the due process of law — it meant something in 1787, and it means something else now," Goldt said. "We're more civilized now."
People should recall the contra hearings and consider the constitutional questions they raised, such as what the limit of the president's and Congress' power should be, Goldberg said.
"There are 43 ships in the Persian Gulf," he said. "Is this a violation of the War Powers Act? Or are War Powers Act constitutional?"
Earlier in the afternoon, Goldberg and eight third-year law students served on the bench in a model Supreme Court case that had an overflow audience watching on closed circuit television in another room. The case dealt with the question of whether Jersey statute requiring a moment of silence in public school classrooms.
The case will be heard by the real Supreme Court in its upcoming session.
Doris Nagel, Morrison, Ill. third-year law student, argued for the statute before the mock bench, and Steve McAllister, Lucas third-year law student, argued against it.
Television screens monitor Goldberg as he addresses an audience at Green Hall.
Goldberg, who has taught law pointed out the students' mistakes.
ment," he said. "Don't take it too seriously."
The group followed Supreme Court procedure. McAllister and Nagel each had 20 minutes to present their cases. Goldberg good-naturedly told McAllister that he had to button his jacket in the Supreme Court, and he told Nagel not to ask a justice a question.
Goldberg interrupted them,
questioned the logic of their arguments and gave monologues that used up the students' allotted time.
Women allow men to join organization
Staff writer
By JENNIFER ROWLAND
An international women's organization recently voted to allow men to join, and at least one man has applied to the local chapter.
Bob Billings, Lawrence resident and president of Alvamar Inc., said he applied for membership to the American Association of University Women two weeks ago after Emily Taylor, former KU dean of law, presented him for the local chapter, told him men were eligible for membership.
He said he thought the association helped women and hoped he could contribute his time and effort.
"I don't like to join an organization just in name, "Billings said. "If there's an opportunity to make a contribution, whatever it might be,
that's something I would want to do.
bunnings, a former KU director of student financial aid, said he had met Taylor while at KU. He was flattered when she told him about the association's recent membership change and suggested that he apply.
Taylor said the association, which was formed in 1882, changed its membership standards this summer at its semiannual convention in Houston. The Lawrence chapter, which has about 90 members, was started in 1938.
Membership is open to men and women with bachelors' degrees from accredited universities.
"I'm going to ask a lot of other men, too," Taylor said. "I know a great many men who are interested in equity issues."
changed its membership standards because it opposed banning women from exclusively male groups and wanted to demonstrate that men should be allowed to join women's groups.
"We wanted to get into the mainstream ourselves and not exclude
"It was never an idea of keeping anyone out. It was just what could be accomplished if we work together on this
Taylor said the association
"When you say equity for women, you're really talking about equity for everybody. The reason we're talking about women is because they're the ones who are disadvantaged." Taylor said.
Maryetta McDuffie, president of the association's Lawrence chapter, said the new membership standards
would not change the association's goals.
"The purpose will continue to be the support of women's education and fulfillment in life," McDuffie said. "You don't change your mission because you change your membership."
McDuffie said one way the association helped women internationally was by sponsoring world-wide fellowships for women from other countries to study in the United States. The women then return to their countries with leadership experience. More than 500 members in more than 50 countries and provides grants and awards of more than $1 million annually.
New plan to aid lobby for funds
By BRAD ADDINGTON Staff writer
Students need to help the University of Kansas fight for state financing, officials of the Associated Students of Kansas said yesterday to kick off H.E.R.O., the Higher Education Rescue Operation.
ASK wants students to help KU
They told about 65 people attending last night's H.E.R.O. organizational meeting about the campaign's goals and how they could get involved.
Mark Tallman, ASK legislative director, and Chris Graves, ASK executive director, both spoke in support of the campaign to build support for the Board of Regents Margin of Excellence program.
'We want 350 students up in the Capitol rotunda.'
Martie Aaron Campus director of ASK
Margin of Excellence is a proposal by the Regents to raise state financing of Regents institutions to 95 percent of their peer schools. The proposal also calls for the raising of salary payments to 100 percent of peers.
KU has five peer institutions, which are similar in size and admis-
"The problem is we are making the climate with which we attract faculty much less hospitable," Tallman said.
Tallman said that although KU faculty salaries increased 3.3 percent from fiscal year 1986 to fiscal year 1987, faculty salaries at KU's peer institutions increased an average of 4.7 percent.
"They have managed to do better," Tallman said. "That's the frightening thing that we have to deal with."
Martie Aaron, campus director of ASK, explained the different ways that people could get involved with H.E.R.O.
Graves said that she generally supported the Margin of Excellence program but that she wanted it to be more focused on (for student financial aid programs.
She asked students and their parents to write to Kansas Gov. Mike Hayden. She encouraged students to ask their instructors whether they could have a few minutes in class to speak about the campaign. She also invited people to accompany ASK leaders on high school visits in Lawrence, Topeka and the Kansas City area.
"We want 350 students up in the Capitol rotunda," she said.
Aaron said Jan. 19 would be a special day at the capitol in Capitol Hill.
Aaron said that 35 students lobbying for a fee release last spring had caused quite a stir and that she wanted to increase that effect tenfold.
"They're convinced that nobody exists in the state of Kansas under the age of 25," she said of Kansas legislators.
ASK volunteers on Wescoe Beach on Tuesday got 110 students to write letters to Hayden in support of Margin of Excellence, she said.
Jason Krakow, student body president, said that those involved in the campaign shouldn't cease their involvement. And win the requested state financing.
"We can still have an impact when that money comes back to the University," he said.
