Judicial board lacks teeth, profs say
The judicial board at the University of Kansas lacks power, the chairman of the University Senate Executive Committee said recently.
The board, which hears disputes at KU, and can only make recommendations, should be able to levy sanctions to enforce its decisions, said James Seaver, SenEx chairman and professor of history.
"It CAN't impose a sanction," Seaver said. "I think that makes it a toothless tiger. Some type of power should be given to it."
But according to Kansas law, that power lies outside the judicial board's jurisdiction, said Francis Heller, pro-
secutor. The former chairman of the hearing board.
The board, which conducted three hearings last year, now can make only
recommendations that are non-binding
William Arnold, an associate professor of sociology now a member of the board, also said the board's powers should be expanded.
"I would think there should be some sanctions available," Arnold said.
Even if the board's powers are limited, the board serves an important function, he said.
"It's important to have it there even though it can only make recommendations."
HELLER SAID the ability to make recommendations was the only legal option available to the board.
"It is not a court of law, it does not have the power to tell anybody what to do," he said. "The chancellor has the power to imprison the administration of the University."
Heller also said that despite its limited powers, the board was necessary.
"People need to know where to go with their grievances," he said.
Laurence Rose, professor of law, now is chairman of the board.
About 50 people serve on the committee, including faculty, students and staff, but only five members at a time hear complaints. One of the five must be one of the board's three law representatives.
ONCE THE BOARD makes a recommendation it is passed on to the people who can take the necessary action.
Heller said most of the complaints that came to the board during his term never made it to the hearing. He decided to wait, which is decided against formal hearings.
City flicks click despite economy,SUA films
Lawrence area theatres are doing well despite the current economic downturn and competition from two film series on campus, theatre officials
Charles Flink, manager of Cinema Twintheaters in Lawrence, attributed his theatres' successful draw to the quality of films released this summer.
"The entertainment dollar is the last to get budgeted," Flink said. "But if there are good movies, people will scrap it up and scrape the money to go see them."
RANCE BLANN, city manager of
COMMONWEALTH Theatres in Lawrence,
said this year's movies had a different flavor than last year's.
"Movies like 'Rocky III' and 'Annie' made the money last year," Blann said, "but they're really a different breed from something like 'E.T.'."
Michael Gebert, chairman of the Student Union Activities film committee, said SUA films were doing well so far, netting 250 people for weeknight films and as many as 1,800 for one weekend film, "Chariots of Fire."
The first part of fall is always strong for SUA, Gebert said. But he agreed with Blann and Flink that the quality of films was important for business.
"I WON't last forever — things will calm down." Gebert said. "I don't see disaster ahead, though. We have a strong season of films."
And what about SUA's competition with local theatres?
"It doesn't seem to be any large problem." Flink said.
He said the two campus groups ran different kinds of tilms and were not in direct competition with Lawrence theatres.
"People say to us, 'Why aren't you playing this film or that film?' "Flink said, still, "we can't afford to bring it in." We can't take the heat of it of us if SWA plays it."

Association raises cash with wheat
By DAN PARELMAN Staff Reporter
Although alumni make large contributions to the Kansas University Endowment Association, more subtle factors help influence the amount of money the Endowment Association raises for the University, an Endowment Association official said yesterday.
Martin Henry, vice president of property management for the Endowment Association, said factors such as the price of wheat and oil also affected the amount of money the Endowment Association generates.
The Endowment Association, which had book value assets of $112 million in fiscal year 1982, invests in securities, bonds, land and mineral interests. Its securities were worth $3,302,407 in 1982 and its land and mineral interests generated $3,975,928.
Although stock income exceeds land and mineral interest income, the Endowment Association owns 38,000 acres of land in Kansas and Oklaho-
THE LAND INVESTMENTS are susceptible to factors such as grain prices. Henry said.
"That's where our money comes from — from the sale of grain," he said.
Henry said the Endowment Association usually received half of the commodity sales from land it owned in eastern Kansas and the farmers who grew the crops kept half. The Endowment Association receives one-third of the sales from land in western Kansas, where there is less rainfall than in eastern Kansas and big harvests are less frequent.
One of the reasons farmland brought in $694,370 in fiscal year 1981 and only $602,519 in fiscal year 1982 was the harvest this summer, Henry said.
The Endowment Association probably would not be enjoying such bountiful harvests without Elizabeth Watkins, who donated 24,000 acres of Kansas farmland to the Endowment Association 50 years ago. It was one of many gifts she donated to the University.
The Endowment Association also has received donations of the mineral rights to land, Henry said. A large portion of these rights are the mineral rights acquired by the University in 1964 when two alumni died, he said.
PRIVATE DONORS have given the Endowment Associates the other 12,000 acres it owns, Henry said. This group of farmers farmed by about 20 grams, he said.
Mineral income increased from $578,299 in 1981 to $691,492 in 1982.
my blood to it. I should
"I don't recall that we've ever
turned down a gift of farmland,"
Henry said.
DESPITE THIS increase, Henry said, less drilling had occurred on land which the Endowment Association owns the mineral rights, because of a general perception that the oil shortage was not as severe as it if the oil reserves were to be sold receiving oil royalties, the Endowment Association receives money when it leases oil land to drillers, Henry explained.
Although the Endowment Association has leased less land recently, it still continues to sell a drilling lease about once a month. Henry said.
We deplore the massacre of Palestinian civilians in Beirut this weekend and express our sorrow for the victims and our grief with the survivors. In this High Holiday season we pray that the wounds of war-torn Lebanon may be swiftly healed and that peace may come to the nations of the Middle East.
