Grad students want addition to contract
By DEBORAH BAER Staff Reporter
Graduate students and KU administrators today will discuss a proposed addition to teaching assistants' contracts that would limit administrator's to cancel graduate appointments, and a graduate student spokesman said yesterday.
A clause added to the contracts in July says that "the appropriate dean, director or vice chancellor may cancel treatment if funding is not available."
The paragraph was added to the present contract by KU administrators during a four-day rush to prepare for budget reductions.
THE CLAUSE to "inadequate tunds" but does not define the term or word of inadequacy.
Mary-Ann Leon, spokesman for the Graduate Teaching Assistants Contract Committee, said the seven-member committee will be institute for the controversial paragraph.
The substitute defines the procedures for canceling student contracts during registration.
"It's far more detailed and specific," she said.
Graduate students and the University Senate Executive Committee had expressed disapproval of the lack of definition in the contract when the change became known publicly. They said it could allow administrators to cancel contracts without a formal definition of "inadequate funds."
IN MEETINGS with graduate students, administrators have said the contract changes were made "in good faith" and agreed that a procedure for canceling the contracts should be more clearly defined, Leon said.
Adopting the recommended changes would make her feel more secure about walking.
She and Tom Berger, chairman of the Graduate Student Council and a member of the committee, will meet with three vice chancellors and James Seaver, SenEx chairman, at noon to discuss the proposed addition, she said.
The *propassa* host requires that
- the contract is cancelled
- the chancellor declares that "a financial emergency exists and provides evidence that no reasonable alternative to the cancellation of contracts ...exists."
Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, said he agreed with graduate students that the procedure for canceling a student'sistant's contract needed to be defined.
- assistants be given 90 days notice if their contracts are to be canceled. (The current contract requires only 30 days notice for teaching duties are to be completed for sponsorship.)
- recommendations on the specific contracts to be canceled be made by a committee appointed by the chancellor. The committee should be one-fifth non-temored faculty and one-fifth student monthly employees. If the chancellor rejects the committee's specifications, his "specific objections to the plan."
— assistants with grievances about their cancellation be allowed to present their cases to "a special mediating committee . . . convened to adjudicate the dispute." That committee would comprise one administrator, two tenured faculty members and one student monthly employee.
Leon said that although she expected to discuss the details of the proposal at the meeting, she did not expect to reach any final conclusions, partly because she was developing a Regents-wide set of contracts for all university employees.
The ability of the University to attract graduate students is essential, he said. They are important in teaching research projects, and sustaining research projects, he said.
WILLIAM KAUFFMAN, Regents staff attorney, said he had been studying Regents universities' contracts for four years, and his decision to use the same contracts at each institution was not related to KU's recent controversy over graduate contracts.
But although Berger and Leen expressed some hesitancy about reworking the contract in light of the Regents' move to draw up new contracts, Kauffman said the KU administration should continue to work on the contracts if it thought it was necessary.
He said he hoped to have a set of contracts ready sometime in the spring, but he was not sure whether they would be ready that soon.
"I will not presume to tell the chancellor of the University of Kansas that he should or should not discuss contracts," Kaufman said.
Two Lawrence suspects in custody after marijuana discovered in parcel
By CAROL LICHTI Staff Reporter
Employees of the United Parcel Service in Topeka discovered marijaana Friday in a package that a Lawrence man was trying to send to Texas, a Topeka police official said yesterday.
Lanny Dale Tiner and Deborah Amm Titer, 712 Rhode Island St., are being held on $1,650 bond in the Douglas County jail for charges stemming from discovery of marijuana in the package, Lawrence police said yesterday.
The Tinsers are scheduled to appear in court at 4 p.m. Oct. 15 on charges of possession of marijuana with intent to and possession of drug paraphernalia.
TOPEKA POLICE were notified Friday by UPS that someone had attempted to send a package containing a pound of marijuana to Canadian, Texas.
UPS employees told Topea police they became suspicious of the package when Lanny Tiner brought it to him, and he hastiled when asked about its contents.
Tepeka Police Lt. Keith Hendrix said Tiner told a UPS employee that the
package contained eyeglasses, gloves and goggles.
Suspicious because of Titer's nervousness, the employee opened the package and found eight one-ounce bags of marijuana. Hendrix said
"He had left a Lawrence address that turned out to be a vacant house, but gave his right name," Hendrix said.
AFTER TOPEKA and Lawrence police located the Tiners, two search warrants produced evidence to support charges, Hendrix said. Three pounds of marijuana were found in the searches, he said.
Hendrix said it was not uncommon for the narcotics bureau to deal with cases where drugs were discovered when shipped by freight or through the mail. Those trying to transport the drugs often give a false name and address that make more work for the narcotics bureau, he said.
"But we've apprehended somebody in every case we've had," he said.
PACKAGES that might contain illegal items can be opened by agencies and law enforcement.
Commission regulations, Hendrix said.
Commission regulations,' Hendrix said. When suspicious about contents of mailboxes or other items, the Post Office notify the postal inspection service, said Jack Harris. Lawrence postmaster. The closest inspection office is in Topeka, he said.
Although several cases of packages containing illegal substances have been discovered through the post office, some have also been discovered in the past several years.
HARRIER SAID it would be more probable for people to try to send illegal substances by means other than the postal service.
"The postal service has an inspection service of its own to police these things and more personnel trained to look for it," he said.
A UPS customer division official said that the division would open any package it thought was improper and might damage other packages, or packages that might already have been damaged.
