Chicago cabbie sues Rather
By United Press International
CHICAGO—CBS anarchian Dan Rather faces a $4-million lawsuit for defamation of character and depriving income from a cab driver who Rather contended took him on a ride to nowhere.
The cab driver, Eugene Phillips, said he picked up Rather at O'Hare International Airport two years ago Wednesday. Phillips was to take him to the North side of author StuDs with whom Rather had an interview.
BUT PHILLIPS said as the taxi neared Terkel's house, Rather accused him of not taking him where he

wanted to go and refused to pay the $12.55 fare.
Phillips took off — with Rather in the cab — and drove south.
Phillips was charged with disorder conduct, but Rather, saying he had a busy schedule, dropped the charges against the driver.
Acting as his own lawyer, Phillips filed the suit Wednesday in Cook County Circuit Court. CBS officials in York declined immediate comment.

PHILLIPS, WOILED the suit as a papure to avoid the filling fee, said he was forced to give up the cab he leased from Checker CCo. and lost money. He then lost both time and money from a recording project he was involved in.

SenEx to look at student jury duty policy
By DEBORAH BAER Staff Reporter
When KU students register to vote in Lawrence, they become potential jurors for the Douglas County District Court.
Staff Reporter
Many do not realize they can be called for jury duty, but some students may not be registering to vote in Lawrence to avoid the inconvenience of serving as a juror. William Balfour, University ombudman, said that students on jury duty arrange with their professors to make up classwork.
Because of the problems created when students miss class for jury duty, David Amblet, vice chancellor for student affairs, wants to develop a policy allowing some students on jury duty to drop classes without penalty.
STUDENTS ARE not excused from jury duty merely because they are students, and some have missed mid-term examinations and class lectures while performing this civic duty. Ambler said yesterday.
"I personally think that a refund of their fees is in order if indeed they
are not going to be able to finish the semester." he said.
He said if a student dropped courses while on jury duty, a notation should be made on the student's transcript showing why the course was dropped.
But, he said, only students who try to be excused from serving and who might have to serve for a long time should be given those privileges.
Ambler has asked the University Senate Executive Committee to look into the matter. Since the plan involves a judge, the Agents will have to approve it, he said.
James Seaver, SenEx chairman, said the committee would consider the
Severer said that during these times of financial difficulty, dropping out of school because of jury duty without a tuition refund would be a "terrible
Students cannot receive tuition refunds if they withdraw after the first third of the semester, according to the fall 1982 timetable.
Ambler said that although many faculty members were willing to write make-up tests for students on jury duty, no university policy existed that forced
EVEN IF TESTS could be made up, it would be hard to make up for the information lost by missing several lectures, said Ambler.
faculty to allow students on jury duty to make up their class work.
Balfour said one student called for pardy duty had told him he was sorry he had been wrong.
Ballourd said that although he recognized the potential inconvenience that registering could cause, he would rather have students voting.
Beverly Boyd, professor of English, said one of her students, a senior from Oklahoma, was not excused when she was called to jury duty in Lawrence.
ALTHOUGH BOYD wrote another mid-term exam for the student, who missed the lesson on jury duty, she caught up on the lectures she missed.
"I can't repeat my lectures for her," she said.
Boyd said that although she thought students should be required to serve on juries, they should not be asked to serve
She said that students could serve during the summer and that seniors might stay.
"There's something really wrong with a situation where a student comes here to go to school and gets pulled out for jury duty," she said.
However, Administrative Judge James Paddock of the Douglas County District Court said students called for jury duty were given special privileges. HE SAID MOST trials in Lawrence expected to last a few weeks or more, the student is told and does not have to serve on that jury, he said.
Also, although all people called for jury duty are supposed to serve two months, once a student has served on one case, he may be excused.
Potential juices are chosen randomly by computer and the list of registered water Jidders are published.
"Jury duty will not, for the average student, cause any difficulty." Paddock
Those called must check in once a week to see whether they are needed. If they are, they must report to the court questioned by the judge and attorevus.
BIG JIM SAYS
Those who do not report to duty can be fined $100 a day, but the fine is often not paid.
