Bill would allow Med Center pay raise
841-1815

TOPEKA — The University of Kansas Medical Center may have better luck retaining some of its top graduates if a bill in a House committee is passed.
The bill would allow the Med Center to bring the salaries of health-care professionals in line with area hospitals.
Marlin Rein, KU associate director of business affairs, testified yesterday before the House Ways and Means Committee in support of a bill that would allow more flexibility in the hospital's pay
Health-care professionals who provide direct care to patients at the Med Center are classified employees, meaning they have no set salary, are paid for overtime and receive compensation for working night shifts. These people participate in various activities at Richard Mann, Uni-
scale.
Rein said the bill would provide an alternative for legislators dealing with salaries for the Med Center's employees.
screw director or machinist
P. scular unclassified employees, including doctors, receive set salaries and no overtime pay,
Mann said.
The bill would create a subgroup with a set salary and some of the benefits received by classified employees. Those benefits would include overtime pay and shift differential payments.

recruiting its own graduates so that
"The reality of the situation is that we will not hire one of our medical technician graduates this year." Rein said.
Rein said that the Med Center also was having difficulties hiring its graduating nurses. He said that the Med Center had 68 vacancies in its 480 nursing positions.
"The number of vacancies will continue to erode, but we hope to improve that through recruitment of our graduating nurses." Rein said.
The approval of the bill would not have a fiscal effect on the state. Rein said, although it would have been better to do so.
"We will be using a portion of the Margin of Excellence to fund any increase in salaries," Rein said. "All this bill would do is release funding that was already provided through the Margin of Excellence program."
The Margin is the Board of Regents three-year plan to bring the total financing of its seven institutions to 95 percent of their peer schools and bring faculty salaries to 100 percent of their peers.
Susan Irza, of the Kansas Department of Administration, opposed the bill. Iris told the committee that the bill would have broad, state-wide ramifications.
Irza said that many of the health-care classifications used at the Med Center also were used by other state agencies.
"We are concerned about the potential wage escalation that could take place within KUMC if it is removed from the state-wide constraints now in place." Irza said.
"The state of Kansas would be hard pressed to justify why pay-scale differences exist between other state agencies and the Med Center if the work is the same," Irza said.
Irza was concerned that implementation of the bill would require the establishment of a personnel management system. She said this would serve as a microcosm of the overall state system.
Expert on trail regards Santa Fe history best
by Marian Weeks Kansan staff writer
The Santa Fe Trail, which passes through Douglas County, has more miles in Kansas than in any other state and is the most remote part of the state taken westward by travelers of the 1800s, a trail expert said here yesterday.
Gregory M. Franzau, who wrote "The Oregon Trail Revisited," spoke and showed slides of the Santa Fe Trail to about 30 people in Lindley Hall. The trail is the topic of his two recent books, "Impressions of the Santa Fe Trail" and "Mars of the Santa Fe Trail."
"If you don't like Kansas, you don't know your history very well." Franzwa said.
the Cimarron Cutoff goes south through Oklahoma. The branches join not far from Santa Fe, N.M.
Franwa's talk, sponsored by the geography department, focused on a 1988 National Park Service survey that led to legislation was passed that declared the Santa Fe a National Historic Trail.
In Douglas County, wagon wheel indentations run through Black Jack Park, a few miles east of Baldwin City, Franza said.
The trail, which opened in 1821, was primarily a road of commerce. Several times a year, traders traveled the road instead of the Oregon, Lewis and Clark, California and Mormon trails, he said.
The trail, which passes south of Lawrence, originates in Boonville, do. and arrives at the branches. The Mountain Branch goes through Colorado and
In 1968, the Oregon, Lewis and Clark, Mormon and Intered trails were the first National Historic National Park associated by legislation, Franzwa said.
"Conspicuously absent was the Santa Fe Trail." Franzwa said.
Santa Fe Trail, in New Mexico blocked the inclusion of the Santa Fe Trail in the protective legislation because they feared federal involvement with their land.
Franza was a founder of the Oregon-California Trails Association, which successfully advocated the prosecution of Santa Fe Trail. He has since helped to found the Santa Fe Trail Association.
Council's approval given to committee
by Thom Clark Kansan staff writer
University Council voted unanimously yesterday to make the Campus Planning Advisory Committee a permanent part of faculty govern
Council amended the University Senate Code to make the CPAC a standing University Committee and an appellate committee, term of office and responsibilities.
The broad-based CPAC is composed of all factions of the University, including faculty, classified and unclassified employees and students. The university also welcomes an annual designate the size and composition of the CPAC.
Ray Moore, associate professor of civil engineering, said the purpose of the CPAC was to advise and interact with the executive vice chancellor on issues related to the University, including allocation of the budget.
Previously, the executive vice chancellor had sole authority to establish the committee. With the amendment, the CPAC will be established after consultation with the University Senate Executive Committee, Student Executive Committee and Graduate Student Executive Committee.
Bob Jerry, chairman of SenEx, said the recommendation would integrate the CPAC with the governance structure and give certainty to the procedure by which membership of CPAC would be selected.
Jerry said that he had talked with Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, about the proposal and received approval.
"It also ensures what is presented to the executive vice chancellor should be made available to governance also." Moore said.
Council also recommended to Dave Shulenberger, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, that bookstores print on the covers of bluebooks a statement emphasizing academic integrity.
The statement describes the standards of conduct and academic integrity described in the Student Handbook. It also warns that vitiating the principles could result in expulsion from the University.
Similar statements had been printed on bluebooks at other universities.
