Classifieds decide against joining SenEx
8y DEBORAH BAER Staff Reporter
The KU Classified senate this month voted unanimously — against the wishes of its president-elect — to remain outside University governance, Gaul Hamilton, Senate president, said yesterday.
Early this fall, James Carothers, University Senate Executive Committee member, asked other members why the Senate representative to SenEx was only an advisory, not a voting, member. At that meeting, the group was one member short of a quorum.
Several members said they thought the Senate representative should be able to vote, because several issues considered by the faculty and student committee this semester had been important to classified employees.
SENEX ASKED the University's general counsel, Vickie Thomas, to study the proposal to see whether it would be acceptable a classified representative to vote.
SenEx has not yet received Thomas' response.
Senbx has six faculty members and three students who vote, and the previous year's chairman and a Classical professor from the committee as nonvoting members.
In 1979, when the Classified Senate was formed, Jan O'Neill, the current president-elect, was president. At that time the group tried to become a part of University governance, but SenEx rejected the request.
That year and the next year, SenEx said the concerns of the faculty and students did not overlap with the job offered by the classified employees. O'Neill said.
BUT THIS YEAR, many of the issues discussed and voted on by SenEx were financial, not academic.
O'Nell said she thought several of those issues, such as the proposed closing of many KU buildings for several days during the winter recess, were worthy of classified votes in SenEx.
"But I obviously am in the minority." she said.
The classified executive council voted against the proposal at a meeting O'Neill did not attend, said Donna Slusser. Senate secretary.
"We unanimously downed that effort." Shusser said.
HAMILTON said that although the council's action might be based on an unfounded concern, classified employees thought they would lose power if they were given a vote on SenEx and thus became a part of University records.
"Their concern is that if they become a part of the governance structure they will be told when they can appear and what they can say," Hamilton said.
She said the Classified Senate did not want to operate under the direction of the University's legislative liaison.
The group already is recognized by state government as a committee with bargaining power and has hadrepressive actions on some state committees, she said.
But for this semester, O'Neill said, "I think it's pretty well killed."
The issue may surface again, Hamilton said.
Hamilton wrote a letter to SenEx recently thanking the members for their support but declining membership.
She said that she hoped that a classified representative could still observe SenEx and other governance meetings and that the cooperation between the two groups this year had helped develop a better understanding of both sides' perspectives on important issues.
DA postpones hearing in burglary, drug case
The preliminary hearing for a KU student charged with burglary, and possession of marjuana has been continued until 2:15 p.m. Dec. 20 in Douglas County District Court, an indictment district attorney said yesterday.
Eric McGonagle, Lawrence freshman, was scheduled to appear in court yesterday, but the preliminary hearing ordered by the request of the district attorney's office.
Greg Hammel, assistant district attorney, said the request was made in order to continue investigating the case.
McGonagle is charged with the Sept. 29 burglary of six one-frequency hand radios worth $8,000 from a KU facilities operations office. At the time of the burglary KU police thought a key might have been forced open. The office had not been forced open.
Four of the radios were recovered during a search of McGonigle's residence conducted by the KU police department, police said. Police also found marijuana at his residence and charged him for possession of marijuana.
McGonigle remains free on $3,650 bond.

Developer contests city ruling to disallow overhead wiring
A local developer has: filed notice in Douglas County District Court that he is challenging a decision by the county to install overhead electrical wiring on his land.
Allen Moore is appealing the Oct. 26 decision of the commission, which denied his request for an exception to city wiring ordinances.
City ordinances state that after June 22, 1976, all electrical, communication or similar wiring in new developments must be placed underground.
According to the ordinances, temporary and permanent exceptions can be granted. Temporary exceptions can be granted in emergencies or for building construction purposes, and permanent exceptions can be granted for electrical substations and in other unusual circumstances.
Moore asked the commission for such an exception for his property in Todd's Addition No. 2, which is north of 23rd Street and west of Harper Street. He was granted an exception for two lots, but about 20 others were not exempted.
