KU Med Center official will leave for FDA job
Colleagues laud Henney's leadership ability, expertise
By Heather Anderson Kansan staff writer
A University of Kansas Medical Center official will use the knowledge she gained at KU for her new job with the Food and Drug Administration.
The FDA last week notified Jane Henney, vice chancellor for health programs and policy at the Med Center, that she was chosen as its new deputy commissioner of operations.
Henney said that beginning in January she would be in charge of overseeing the various centers within the agency in Washington. She will also supervise the daily activities in the agency.
Working at the Med Center for six years will give her an outside-of-government perspective on her new job, she said.
Before she came to KU, Henney was deputy director of the National Cancer Institute. While in that position, she often worked with the FDA on studies of various drugs.
Henney said she would have an entirely different set of

responsibilities with her new iob.
Valentino Stella, professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, said Henney was a very effective administrator. "It's too bad we're losing her at KU." he said.
Stella had worked with Henney for about three years on a cancer grant that 35 scientists from Kansas colleges received.
He said that Henney was a good listener and that her presence demanded that people listen to her.
The PFO needs that type of leader, Stella said. D. Kay Clarkson, executive vice chiefance at the Med Center, said Henney's responsibilities would be reassigned to other Med Center officials.
"I don't think she can be replaced," he said.
Clawson said Henney's role at the Med Center had been built around her previous experience with federal government procedures.
He said Henney would help the FDA because of her federal government and university knowledge.
The FDA is dependent on universities to do drug research. Clawson said.
He said Henney's expertise would also help the FDA because she was well-respected in the scientific community.
The wheels of justice are turning slowly in Lawrence Municipal Court these daws.

High number of student tickets causes municipal court delays
People cited this fall for under-
drinking, public consumption of alcoh-
ol or other municipal offenses have to-
ked the city court. "The judge said
Joy Jones, municipal court clerk."
A person ticketed in mid-Septer usually would have a trial by mid-November, but now people must wait until mid-January for a trial, she said.
Jones said an enormous amount of tickets were coming into the office.
She attribued the influx to the city hiring 26 additional police officers in January and increased selective placement by the police department.
Gayle Armstrong, assistant Douglas County district attorney, said her office was not experiencing the case load that the municipal court was. She also said that the district attorney's office had referred numerous reports of minors in possession to the Municipal Court.
Michele Kessler, staff attorney at Legal Services for Students, said she
Many of the students coming into her office have been cited for violating open container ordinances and have trial dates set for February, she said.
was seeing a backup in Municipal Court.
During the last weekend in September, Lawrence police issued 32 tickets for underage drinking and public consumption of alcohol. Most of the tickets were given in the Oread neighborhood police investigated large parties.
Dennis Miller, Wichita senior, said police had stopped him on the night of Oct. 16 near 14th and Ohio streets as he was walking to Allen Field House.
"I was holding an unopened beer can," he said. "They checked my ID and since I am 21 they said it was legal. They came out of nowhere."
Kessler said police misinformed some students at the time they were ticketed for public consumption of alcohol.
Some police officers, probably the newer officers, told several students not to worry about the tickets but to
plead guilty and pay the fines at their first appearances, she said.
However, when the students arrived at court, the Municipal Court Judge George Catt told them that pleading guilty to an open container charge was expensive. He advised that they return on their trial date with an attorney, Kessler said.
Students think they can just pay the fine but become alarmed when they learn that they must appear at a trial, she said.
All misdemeanor charges such as underage drinking or public consumption of alcohol require mandatory court appearances.
Although the officers probably just try to ease the students' anxieties, it would be more helpful if they suggest services or an attorney. Kessler said,

county that police should not give
legal advice.
People sometimes ask what their options are, and officers may tell them they can pay a fine or go to court, he said.
"If our officers are giving advice on a preferable option, they shouldn't be doing it."
