SenEx delays action until new group meets
By TONI WOOD Staff Reporter
Members of the University Senate Executive Committee yesterday passed to the new SenEx three controversial issues: pre-enrollment, distribution of literature and a proposed fee for faculty use of recreational facilities.
Yesterday was the last meeting of the current SenEx. The new SenEx will take over May 22.
The current SenEx addressed the pre-enrollment issue after it received a letter on the topic from Del Shumel, executive vice-
Last week, SenEx voted to ask Shankel for the administration's basis for its rejection of the University Council's recommendation for pre-enrollment because of a cost factor and a "lack of widespread support."
Shanker's letter said, "You asked about the reasons for such a recommendation and I mentioned the cost involved, the high priority being placed on other activities for our information gathering and the lack of widespread agreement regarding the desirability of it."
"IALSO mentioned that we were considering recommending to the Chancellor that we terminate all discussion of a pre-enrolment system for the next couple of years until some of these other issues could be resolved."
Don Marquis, professor of philosophy and SenEx member, said Shankel's response was "clearly inadequate."
"The response is funny," he said. "Look at the reasons. One is
cost, but the council recommended that it be funded out of student activity fees."
Tom Werth, student representative on SenEx, said, "As one of the SenEx members who has been opposed to pre-enrollment, I even find it hard to see how you resolve issues by terminating discussion about them."
SenEx members also transferred to the new group the issue of distribution of literature, which involves reviewing a packet of rules and regulations that deals with freedom of speech on campus.
THE PACKET, originally gathered for the University Events Committee, includes policies and behavior codes from the Board of Regents, the Student Senate, the Association of University Residence Halls and the All Scholarship Hall Council.
Another item on the agenda, a proposed fee for faculty use of recreational facilities, was also passed on.
SenEx members considered a report from the Office of Institutional Research and Planning that estimated how many faculty and staff members used what recreational facilities, how often and at what cost.
The report said about 300 faculty and staff members might choose to pay a recreational user's fee. Other schools that have a fee are the College of Arts and Sciences.
Arno Knapper, professor of business and SenEx member, said he was opposed to the user's fee because it would mean the loss of $30 million.
"When will they start charging the faculty a user's fee for use of the library?" he asked. "I expect to see that next."
Members voted to send the issue to the new SenEx.

Their headquarters are in a small office underneath the seats of Memorial Stadium. They wander in the night inspecting campus buildings to make sure everything works. They often come to the rescue if a person is trapped in an elevator or if a pipe is broken.
Maintenance, emergencies keep troubleshooters busy
These troubleshooters are KU's preventive maintenance crew.
The crew consists of a director, two air-
conditioning mechanics, a plumber, a
fireman, and a construction worker.
Harry Kreider, assistant director of Facilities Operations in charge of preventive maintenance, leads the small group.
"I would say anytime you have a season change, it's going to be the busiest time of the year," he said. "People don't know whether they are hot or cold."
"The crew checks equipment and makes routine inspections of buildings for things that need care," he said yesterday. "We also take care of emergency calls."
REIDER SAID that the crew worked from 2:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on weekdays and that a few workers were always around during the weekends. He said spring was one of the most hectic times of the year for upkeep of the campus.
Kreider said thunderstorms in the spring
"We've got 88 air compressors that we reservate on a regular basis. Most of the air conditioning and heating controls depend on air pressure. This is a critical area."
Even when there are no emergencies, the crew keeps busy.
"WE COVER a lot of territory."
*Last summer, two power cablees blew out on West Campus. We had to a crew out of them.*
KREIDER SAID the crew averaged three emergency calls a night. The calls usually
"It depends on what areas are involved," he said. "If the whole campus goes off and comes back on, we would handle it on our side." If it came back on, we would get outside help.
"We weed to have a lot of trouble with people dropping their keys out of the elevator. We would ride the elevator down, and open the doors to get the keys," he said.
Kreider said reservicing air compressors was difficult in the spring.
The crew services all of KU's 159 buildings.

led to power outages. In some emergencies, the crew must have help.
temperature goes down below 60 degrees, the air conditioner will turn itself off. It then takes a few minutes to cool.
"I think we're doing considerably more than the average student or faculty member realizes," he said. "This is a big university takes a lot to keep everyone running."
All proceeds will be used to help purchase a van for transporting disabled KU students
Kreider said keys to most of the buildings were stored at the stadium for the crew members.
KREIDER SAID the crew also inspected bathrooms and exit and stairway lights. The creep fixes loose tiles, faulty pipes and water leaks.
"If the fire department makes a run up here, we can get them a key fast," he said. "Never a week goes by when an alarm is not set off or a fire starts. If we silence the building and security guard to double-check the building and cell security and traffic control about."
