Alumni Association chooses recipients of Ellsworth award
The University of Kansas Alumni Association yesterday announced the seven recipients of the Fred Ellsworth Medallion, the Alumni Association's award for unique and significant service to the University.
The award will be presented at the alumni homecoming luncheon Nov. 6 in the Student Union Building.
Those honored for 1982 are Frank Burge, Lawrence; Archie Dykes, Topeka; William Martin, Topeka; George Meltzers Jr., Pittsburgh; Milwaukee "Bub" Hussell; Dwight Sutherland, Overland Park; and John Vogel Jr., Lawrence.
THE ANNUAL AWARD, established in 1975, honors the late Fred Elsworth, executive secretary of the Alumni Association from 1924 to 1963.
Dykes, KU chancellor from 1793 to 1800, said, "Well, I'm delighted. It's a very great honor, and I'm very grateful."
Burge, director of the Kansas Union,
"I'm indeed very honored. I'm flattered."
Burge will retire at the end of the year after 30 years as director. Students have awarded Burge honorary memberships in the classes of 1972, 1977, 1979 and 1880. In 1975, he was named KU's first employee of the year.
SRAFFER, chief executive officer and director of the Home State Bank, Russell, said, "it makes me very proud that I can teach University and still be supporting it."
Shaffer's ties with KU athletics began when he was a three-year letterman under Forrest "Phog" Allen. Since then, he has been a contributor, fund-raiser and recruiter for KU athletic programs.
THE NINE-MEMBER committee that chose the recipients is made up of Dolph Simons Jr., the national president of the Alumni Association; Dick Wintermute, the executive secretary of the Alumni Association; and representatives of various associations, the KU Athletic Corporation and the chancellor's office.
Fifty-six medallions have been awarded.
Past recipients include such luminaries as Stanley Learned, Barbara McGraw and Diane Lawrence; the late Helen Foresman Spencer and Oscar S. Stauffer, Topeka
Hardage promises merit pay only if funding is available
By DEBORAH BAER Staff Reporter
Sam Hardage told KU classified employees last night that he would reinstate their Merit Pay Plan — but later said that he would recommend such a plan only if he had available funding.
The Merit Pay Plan, which was designed to award raises to classified employees who receive good work evaluations from their supervisors, was supported by Gov. John Carlin at its inception. However, Carlin froze the 1.25 percent rate of the state's $47 million deficit.
Hardage, Carolin's republican opponent in the governor's race, early in his speech told a group of 30 people that he would be able to support their pledge plan.
"I'll pledge to you I'l reinstate the Merit Pay Plan," he said.
"If you work hard, you should be reinforced in concrete terms — something you can take to the bank."
BUT LATER, after criticizing Carlin's proposed severance tax and what he called Carlin's "inpeptitude" and "lack of forsight" in managing the state's budget, Hardge backed Carlin and added a hedge to reintroduce the meriv plan.
He said that if he won the November contest, he might find himself in the governor's office with no money in the state treasury.
And then, when the audience began asking him questions, he qualified his earlier promise.
funded with funding that's there," Hardage said.
"I will not have a merit plan recommended unless it can be
ALTHOUGH A FEW employees nodded and laughed in agreement with Hardage during his speech, and one even said "amen," many of them were angry about Hardage's apparentSwitch regarding their merit钥
"He did it and then he took it away," Tom Swearingen, director of exhibits at the Museum of Natural History, said after the meeting.
Robert Patterson, vertebrate zoologist, said that state legislators had been promising better salary for classified employees for years but that none of them had ever supplied it.
Gail Hamilton, Classified Senate president, said, "He was ambiguous. I don't think there was much meat in what he had to say."
HARDAGE SAID a state revenue forecast committee had overestimated what the state's revenue was. The committee blamed Carlin for overpending.
During the meeting, one employee asked Hardage if he could improve the Legislature's scheduling of bill passage. The employee said the bill that included funding for classified employees always came up late at night at the end of the legislative session.
BY THAT TIME, legislators were not willing to appropriate much money to classified workers, he said.
Hardage answered that he would encourage the senate to handle the education bill early in the session.
Classified employees were not pacified, however, because their funding comes up in the appropriations bill, not the education bill.

Two years ago, a KU professor noticed that senior female athletes here, including those on KU's nationally ranked basketball team, were not going to receive awards at the end of the season as the male athletes were.

In response to the discrepancy, Renate Malt-Dalton, associate professor of business, began a one-woman fund established to buy awards for women athletes.
Today, she is trying to make the fund called the Women's Athletic Fund — a $1.2 million investment — more efficient.
MAI-DALTON SAID yesterday that she met last week with women's coaches to discuss ways to make the permanent one at the University.
"All I want to do is have a fund set up that will be at the disposal of the coaches so that they can award the athletes," she said. "The coaches are happy — surprised in fact — that someone cared enough to help."
Marian Washington, women's basketball coach, said. "We're extremely pleased that someone has made the team to assist in getting awards for seniors."
During the 1981 spring break, Mai Dalton netted $500 for awards, and last spring she received $2,500 for the awards.
Washington said that before Mali-Dalian's fund, women athletes at KU were not allowed.
Nine senior women, in all sports,
received special rings last spring, she
said, because the coaches thought rings would be lasting mementos.
Mai-Dalton said that she saw a need for the fund just after coming to KU three years ago and that she contacted him out raising money for the 1981 season.
"I STARTED the fund by paying for and writing letters to solicit the fund's money," she said. "I just sent out the money, no fancy envelopes or follow-ups."
Now, because National
Collegiate Athletic Association and Big Eight regulations require money given to athletes to be under institutional control, she said, she must find a way to make the fund part of KU policy. She said the plan has been planned to keep the fund pointing this long.
"After the first year, I expected that the budget situation would improve so they could give awards," she said. "But, nothing had changed that would allow coaches to award athletes, so I decided to fund it myself." The intent was to get enough money so that the proceeds of the principal could be used to buy awards."
MAL-DALTON estimated that it would take a $10,000 principal to pay for awards in the future.
Mai-Dalton said that Jim Lessig, KU athletic director, had been very supportive of getting the fund established as part of the University policy.
Lessig said the decision had not yet been made about where the fund would be administered, although the athletic department was considering the options available.
Mali-Daition said contributions to the tund had come from students, faculty members and alumni.
