Recommendations emphasizing current policy regarding faculty salary allocation will be considered $ _{i,j} $ the University Council on March 9.
The recommendations, made by the council's Planning and Resources Committee Feb. 7,竹林局 2018 年 1 月 28 日
Del Brinkman, vice candleholder for academic affairs, said the recommendations would serve as a reminder to the deans of schools to follow through on the current process.
"This is being done in most cases," Brink man said. "It just reiterates our general policy that the law be followed."
Current policy shows that deans of schools
and department chairmen have a great deal of control in salary allocation, said Sidney Shapiro, chairman of the committee.
"Our survey revealed by and large that the administration of the University . . . has enormous discretion in setting faculty salaries." he said.
And Shapiro wants faculty to become more involved in the process.
"The point of the recommendations is to introduce more accountability into the system. Shapiro said." The faculty in each unit has a possible position to decide what is best for them."
He said that the choice of procedure was up to faculty and that they should meet yearly to review it.
The committee also recommended that surveys of salary distribution among departments be released to the deans for faculty consideration.
"This introduces an alternative method . . . for departments to see how other faculty are doing (salary allocation) and why," Shapiro said.
Another recommendation would encourage departments to indicate the range of salary distributions when a faculty member received a salary increase.
"The faculty unit ought to disclose enough information to faculty members so that they can judge their relative standing among colleagues." Shapiro said.
Bob Jerry, chairman of the University
Senate Executive Committee, said it was important that faculty decide for themselves if such a system would work for the better of the department.
The committee also recommended that each department vote annually on whether faculty wished to retain the existing procedures for salary allocations.
Another recommendation provides that each school notify faculty of the current procedures
The committee urged the council not to support a procedure that all departments would be obliged to follow. Shapiro said each department should be able to make decisions on its own.
Cohabitation offers advantages, students say
Michelle Grassie, Girard junior, and Andrew Mendelson. Overland apartment. Grassie, Mendelson and another female roommate have Park senior, spend a week night studying and talking in their lived in the apartment since the beginning of the semester.

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night thinking a stranger is in the bedroom with you. You run downstairs, wake up your room, and both of you race back to the room to confront the attacker.
That's just what Sara Bloom did. "I woke him up because I knew he could protect me." she said.
Although there was no attacker, Bloom only imagined it. But she said she felt safe with a man in the apartment.
Bloom, Arlington Heights, III. seniior, and Andrew Mendelson, Overland Park senior, have been placed by Plattonics since August
College students cohabitate not only for an increased sense of protection, but for other reasons as well
Cohabitation among college students is more common than most people realize, said Dennis Daley, professor of social welfare.
Bloom said her parents approved.
"I a problem exists, it's not with the couple but with the people around them." Dulley said. "They, too, are angry and to sexualize the relationship."
"My mom didn't mind when I told her, but I didn't tell my dad until October when he was coming for a visit because I didn't think he cared," she said. "But now he and he know my roommates, he's accepted it."
Mendelson has lived with female roommates for the last two years.
Jodie Sorum, Overland Park sophomore and Mendelson's first female roommate, said living with a male was an enlightening experi-
"It gave me some idea as to what it's going to be like living with someone when I get married." she said.
Sorum said the two shared all the chores and divided bills from the house. He saw in living with a male was that he to had been more discreet in
what she wore around the apartment, even in her own bedroom.
"We always knocked on each other's doors, but I still felt uncomfortable walking around in my pajamas with my pajamaas on," she said.
When Sorum's best friend returned to Lawrence, Sorum moved out. Again, Mendelson himself without a roommate.
While searching for a roommate, Mendelson got more than he
bargained for: not one female, but two. Now he lives with Bloom and Michelle Grassie, Girard junior.
"I find myself having to make things up for them, more so than when I was living with guys," Mendelson said. "Lots of guys are always calling for them. They're always out."
Bloom said she decided to live with Mendelson because she needed a roommate and it seemed that she had worked out well between Sorum
"I'll tell people about Sara and Andy and they'll ask what Andy is short for." Grassie said, "I tell them I want to get big and they just smile, especially the people from my home-town."
They all agreed that none of them had any trouble keeping the relationship Platonic, but acquaintances often looked surprised when one of them mentioned the situation.

Former player is arrested for battery Harris is accused of choking woma
by Angela Clark Kansan staff writer
A former Kansas basketball player was arrested Wednesday night after
a 22-year-old KU student accused him of biting her on the face and the neck. Her lawrence police reported
Keith Ornette Harris, 19. was arrested and charged with battery and was booked into the Douglas County Jail, said Chris Mulvenon, Lawrence police spokesman.
Harris was booked just after 7:30 p.m. Wednesday night. He was released less than two hours later on $150 bond.
Mulvenon said police were called to an apartment in the 1100 block of Indiana Street by neighbors who complained of an argument.
When police arrived, they knocked on the door for about 15 minutes with no answer before asking the apartment manager to open the door.
When he did, the door was held by the door-chain. Police were about to cut the chain when the woman opened the door.
According to police, the woman opened the door cradling a 2-year-old boy. She tearfully explained that she had been stabbed when she opened the door. Mulumen said.
Mulvenon said the woman had a bite mark on her left cheek and suffered from what appeared to be bruise. She refused medical treatment.
The woman said that she had grabbed a knife to protect herself from Harris during the argument, which began because she had forgotten to pick him up from a basketball game.
Harris, a Santa Monica, Calif. native, was a reserve forward on the Jayhawks' 1988 NCAA championship basketball squad. He was later dismissed from the team by former head coach Larry Brown and then transferred to the University of Massachusetts last semester.
Aircraft can talk to avoid crash FAA mandate prompts company to develop safety system
by Steven Wolcott
Kansan staff writer
A safety program mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration has meant new business and more jobs at a local manufacturing plant.
Bendix-King Corporation, 2920 Haskell Ave., has begun manufacturing a system called TCAS II, which will allow aircrafts to fly with the radar electronically to avoid midair collisions.
Ed Bowman, plant manager of Bendx-King, said the FAA had required all passenger aircraft flying in U.S. airspace and carrying more than 30 passengers to carry a threat collision avoidance system, or TCAS, by 1990.
"If a collision was imminent, a voice synthesizer in the cockpit would come on and give each pilot instructions for evasive maneuvers. He would take the other to go down so many feet," he said.
Bowman said American Airlines had
ordered 1,100 of the TCAS II systems from Bendix-King on Dec. 2. Bowman said the total contract was valued at almost $3.5 million.
"This will mean about 100 new jobs involving direct labor, and 10 to 15 jobs for manufacturing professionals, like engineers and quality control people." Bowman said. "We are hiring now and must be up and running by June."
Bendix-King, with about 600 employees, is the third largest manufacturing employer in the Lawrence area.
Bowman said Bendix-King employed many KU students, both full and part time.
"We are continually bringing in engineer-
ists from KU on a part-time basis to give
us experience."
Lawrence business, and would certainly favor hometown people and hometown grads.
Bowman said the new jobs created by the CAS II contract would not specifically [be] placed in the job market.
Ann Ruggero, employee relations administrator for Bendix-King, said she anticipated that some engineering internships would be opening up soon but not necessarily for the
"But we are a Kansas business and a
"Most of them would be in the Mobile Communications Division." Roggero said. The TCAS II project is in the plant's Aviation Division.
"We would want juniors or seniors from the electrical engineering program." Rogero said.
The Mobile Communications Division manufactures such devices as hand-held radios and radios for police cars.
Bendix-King is a division of Aided-Signal Aerospace Company. Besides its Lawrence plant, Bendix-King has plants in Olatha, Ottawa and at the Johnson County Airport.
A $50,000 state grant to help children of alcoholic parents will be used by KU's Division of Continuing Education to finance a conference on the problem.
John Pattinson, director of conferences and programs in the division, said the grant would fund a "Governor's Conference on Children of Alcoholics" in Wichita on June 4.
Gov. Mike Hayden announced the grant Tuesday. An additional $65,000 will finance nine other projects to help in the prevention of substance abuse in Kansas' youth.
"Children of alcoholics are really a hidden population." Pattitionn said. "People aren't
He said national statistics showed that one of every eight U.S. citizens was the child of an alcoholic in Kansas and another of an alcoholic in Kansas has 312,000 children of alcoholics, and 78,000 of those are under 21.
The Regents conference will give members of all seven Regents institutions the chance to share ideas on alcohol education.
Twenty-two members of KU's faculty, staff and students are attending the conference which ends today.

As part of that campaign, Hayden requested that the Board of Regents sponsor a conference on substance abuse. The conference opened yesterday in Wichita.
