Grad student pay dispute working toward solution
By JERRY SEIB Staff Writer
A dispute over the salaries of graduate students teaching in the department of design will be settled by the end of the week, and it will be heard at the School of Fine Arts. said last night.
Some graduate students in the department have said they were promised fall jobs as assistant instructors at a wage of $250 per month and as teaching assistants at $200 a month.
ASSISTANT INSTRUCTORS are paid more because they have sole responsibility for their classes, Moeser said. Teaching assistants aren't responsible for the class, he said, but only help the full-time faculty at the school. Assistants devise less time to each section.
Meeser said that four or five graduate students had been promised pay increases to $50 as a result of the complaint and that they would be rewarded. The would have their wages increased.
Meeser said that he didn't know the exact number of graduate students involved in the complaint, but that any student who had been hired for a month position would receive that salary.
THE CONFLICT was an outgrowth of curriculum changes in the department of design, Mooser said. Several beginning courses that were taught solely by assistant instructors last year are now being taught by full-time faculty members, he said.
The graduate students, who thought they would be rehired as assistant instructors this year, were hired instead as teaching assistants working under the faculty members. Moeser said their wages were reduced from $480 to $390 for two sections because their duties as teaching assistants weren't as great.
The school is trying to determine which students could have reasonably expected a teacher to accept.
Aboriginal arts boomerang campus

Bv PAUL JEFFERSON
The rolling hills and spatterly wooded knolls surrounding Potter Lake took on the atmosphere of the Australian Outback region as three Australian aborigines gave dancing and musical demonstrations before 300 people yesterday afternoon.
two artist musicians, Wandjik Marika and Robert Yumpungi, and a boomerang expert, Stan Roach, are touring the United States to support their museum'sribute to the U.S. Bicentennial.
In the hour-long exhibition, Roach acted as enpower, introducing the others and exchanging ideas.
Covering himself with a white paste of modeling clay and water, Yumipung provided an eerie view of aboriginal life as he performed the ritual tribal dances, acrobatics, and obo-like sound of the doggo, a long, hunched wooden cylinder that Manika played.
"ALL OF YOUR art depicts some aspect of the aborigines' lives." Marika said in a chipped British accent. "It often deals with relationships with the animal kingdom."
In one of the dances, "Spear Dance," Yunupingu characterized the native aborigine hunter as he stealthily stalked his prey. His menacing glare and the lethal seven-foot space he brandished during the hunt drew nervous laughter from the crowd.
In a conical ritual, Yunipeng invited a group of small children, Brownie Scouts, and students to join him in a parody of the walk of a native Australian bird, the Himi.
AFTER THE dancing demonstration, he and Marika gave a musical exhibition playing a degree and another native inucheur. The two demonstrated boomerang throwing.
"All of our boomerangs are hand-made," Roach said. "We have different sizes, too, for hunting larger animals like the kangaroo and the buffalo."
The boomerangs are made of marine pliurex fibres, a very light, but are still sharply curved, he said.
The trot has been busy during their initial visit to the United States, he said. For the past six weeks they have been in Albuquerque where they opened an
aborigine art exhibit and performed for some American Indian groups.
An exhibition of original aborigine artworks opened Tuesday in the Kansas Union Gallery and will be shown through tomorrow.
"ICAME HERE to the aborigine art exhibit," said Marika, chairman of the Aborigine Arts board. "Many of my own and my father's paintings are exhibited."
He said some of the paintings in the Union exhibit were sacred considered aboriginal, and would be to remove from public viewing. The content of a painting determines whether it is sacred, he said. Usually, pictures of an idol or of dream can be sacred, depending on when the dream was a high-ranking member of the tribe.
Marika, who is fluent in 10 languages,
acts as the principal interpreter and informant for his aborigine art students in Australia.
Yumpingu, also an artist, said that the majority of the native paintings were based on traditional Chinese sources.
'Abrorigines consider many animals,'
especially fish, as sacred beings," he said.
Yunpingu is related to Marika because he married Marika's sister, making them siblings.
Today, both men will give an epic poetry reading at 4 p.m. in the Forum Room in the
Roache, a former rugby and soccer star in his homeland, is now known in Australia as a boomerang expert. He is also chairman of the Executive Board of Black Thoot
He said that through participation by groups such as his and other art organizations, the primitive aborigines could be trained in the times, yet be given their own identities.
"I work closely with schools and colleges in developing more black theater groups."
Roach said that he would give a demonstration in throwing at 6-foot baller. He mentioned, "Memorial Day."
He said the group would leave Lawrence Friday morning for Kansas City, Mo. After that, they will spend three days each in Los Angeles and San Francisco, then return to

and is assuring them of that wage, Moeser said.
TO EARN $350, the wage paid a half-time employee, Moeser said, teaching assistants should instruct three sections. He said some of the students given raises to $350 would be given pay raises and others were being given pay raises although no additional sections were assigned to them.
THESE PAID $350 a month are considered half-time. University employees. Students earning $200 monthly are 35 per cent employees. To qualify for faculty and staff reduced tuition rates, students must be at least 40 per cent university employees.
Moeser said that all students who had received a commitment for a half-time position would be eligible for faculty-staff rates.
Department chairmen are responsible for the hiring of teaching assistants and assistant instructors. Moeser said. But he also said the department must understand belonged to the fine arts.
school for not properly communicating the results of the curriculum changes.
Richard Branham, chairman of the Richard Branham, chairman of the design, refused to comment on the matter.
MOESER SAID school officials were meeting individually with the students who had expected assistant instructors' traits to determine the validity of their claims.
The school plans to make written offers to graduate students being hired for teaching posts to prevent such misunderstandings in the future. Moeser said.
Ron Calgaard, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said he had met Monday with representatives of the graduate students. Calgaard said he later talked with Moeser and Peter Thompson, associate dean of the School of Fine Arts, and asked them to investigate the complaints and indicate their commitments to students were honored.
Moeser said he planned to report to Calzaard soon.
KU-Y to defy policy of Events Committee
by GREG BASHAW
The KU-Y told the University Events Committee yesterday that it was restricting freedom of speech on campus and promised to distribute literature and petitions at a table outside the Union today without securing the committee's permission.
Meanwhile, the Student Senate passed a resolution to set up a committee to study the events committee's jurisdiction, recent actions, and role within the University.
The KU-V said the committee had restricted freedom of speech by requiring people to schedule in advance activities held on University property.
IN A STATEMENT READ by Laura Trusch, Overland Park sophomore, KU-Y gave two examples of what it called "prior restraint" in a lecture on guitarist Max Tenant from playing on campus Sept. 9, and a decision that the Iranian Students Committee must get permission from the committee before he can make handside outsides the Union August 31.
The Student Senate's resolution noted that the membership of the Events Committee wasn't the same as that specified in the Student Senate Rules and Regulations, and that the committee may have exceeded its jurisdiction by requiring approval for events other than benefit or money-making projects.
"Interested faculty people whose department has an interest in University activities, like the University Library or the committee and be appointed by the vice chancellor," she said.
The Senate's Rules and Regulations state that the events committee should be made up of nine students and five faculty members. The committee was 14 faculty members and five students.
CARYL SMITH, chairman of the Events Committee, said the committee's membership had grown since 1972 because of the increasing number of the executive chairperson made.
The Student Senate resolution, introduced by Steve Leben, Senate Communications Committee Chairman, also questioned the committee's authority to "make rules concerning nonacademic conduct of students."
"The resolution didn't deal with the current jurisdiction of the committee, or say that the committee has broken any rules, and said this should be studied," Leben said.

Hard-talkin', Chevy-drivin' preacher comes to town
By GREG BASHAW
Staff Writer
It's revival week at the Grace Baptist Church, 1046 New Hampshire St., and brother Clarence Doyle, billed as "the world's most unusual preacher," is in town with his own brand of hellfire and brimstone.
"A preacher I used to work with gave me that title," Doyle, an energetic man with a black crewcut and glasses, said yesterday. "Really I'm just an old-fashioned Bible totin" Baptist country oreeater."
A SMALL CROWD gathered early in the front pew where Doyle, in a bright black and white sportcoat, meditated on his message, head bowed. The crowd, with their eyes cracked, and Doyle's revivals are helping to raise money for a new building.
Doyle drives his Chevy all around the Midwest eight months a year to give week-long revivals for fundamentalist Baptists in Delaware. He delivers with fire and fury.
Beforeland, the Logans, a Lawrence Christian group, warmed up with some country and western religious songs. Pastor Charles Leach reminded the church that the revival would continue through Saturday and that whoever brought the most visitors to the meetings would win a Bible and a Chinese
"Any Christian that's pussyfootin' around, Lord Olh, open their hearts and do your homework on them, Olh Lord." Doyle said in his opening prayer from the pulpit. "And I warn you boys, he told the former minister, 'You know, 'that you better not be squirmlin' around on me or I'll come down there and punch you in the nose."
"The problem with America is pleasure; everybody's after it," he said. "People get out and yell about the Kansas City Royals, but Jesus will have a great instant repaint and he'll see everything that everyone's done."
dinner in Topeka. The stage was set for Dovle.
"Amen!" said Leach, nodding his head along with Doyle's quaking fingers and beckoning arms. A curly-brained boy near the back of the church made faces at a girl in the pew behind him.
DOYLE BOUNDED down the steps into the aisle. He ripped his glasses off and shook them in his hand.
"ARE YOU LISTENING brother? The reason why this country's such a mess is people like you heading away from the Bible."
Down the center aisle Doyle strode to stare into the eyes of a man who'd been staring at his fingernails.

Preachina revival

"I was saved by God during the Korean War," he says. "I decided to kill myself instead of be tortured by the Communists and had pulled the pin on her grenade to do it when I heard God's voice inside of me saying, 'Son, you're not ready to die yet, now are you?'
Doyle isn't one of those people. He's studied the Bible for hours every day for the last 23 years and has preached it for the last six. He was a plant superintendent in Indianapolis before becoming a preacher.
DOYLE CAME from a wealthy Indiana family and had been a track star in high school, two vaniets that he says held him back from giving his life up to

"Finally, after wanting to be a Christian bat not knowing how, on April 15, 1954, a man in a black 1951 Mercury at 11:30 at night in Indianapolis opened a Bible and told me how to be saved," he said.

Doyle told of a friend who had refused to attend his church in Indiana.
"The day after I asked him to come, he was driving on River Road in Cincinnati when smack!" Doyle slapped his Bible hard. "A semitruck came by and stole my car, and I waited at the hospital. He underestimated the time of his death, friends."
EVERYONE QUIETED and a few children's eyes widened and Doyle again mounted the altar.
"I'll tell you what's wrong with America. Everyone's doing what they think is right in their own minds; that always causes societies to topple.
