Senate ad effort falls short of goal
By JOSEPH REBELLO
Staff writer
The Student Senate Committee Board tried to win prospective members to its committees last week by publishing advertisements that threatened, cailed and joked with their readers.
But the advertising campaign met with little success.
All 160 students who applied for positions on the seven Student Senate committees this year will receive letters in the mail this weekend informing them of their appointment, with several positions yet to be filled, said Michael Foubert, chairman of the Senate Committee Board
The Senate committees are the committees for minority affairs, university affairs, finance, cultural affairs, student rights, elections, and social responsibility.
The committee can accommodate as many as 325 students, he said. Only 156 students filed their applications by the deadline Monday afternoon. More than 200 students applied last year.
The decline in applications may have been caused by the decision last fall to move the Senate office from the Kansas Union to the Burge Union, Foubert said.
But one student said the problem was simply that many lacked the interest to be on the committees.
"It would have been more convenient for us if we could be in the Kansas Union," Foubert said. "The Burge Union is a bit out of the way for people who live in the Oread neighborhood."
"If a person wants to be on the committees bad enough, they'll have enough gumption to get across to the Burge Union," said Greg Sweat, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, who applied for two positions.
Foubert said the committee positions eventually would be filled, but he was more worried that students who agreed to serve on them would drop out when they realized the job would make demands on their time.
"There's a natural attrition rate," he said.

High Court's ruling on maternity leaves won't affect Kansas
the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling on maternity leave won't have a significant affect on female employees at the University of Kansas, said Barbara Ballard, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
Expires 2/5/87
Kansas is one of nine states that already has some type of maternity leave provision in the law books. The other states are California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Montana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Ohio and Washington.

Last week, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that a state was allowed to require employers to provide job protection for employees who take a leave of absence because of pregnancy.
"We've had that option available for some time. And because it's been available, women that have wanted to use it, have." Ballard said.
The regulation also states that after the leave, the employee should be able to return to her original job or one of equal status, with no loss in benefits or pay. The regulation has been in effect since May 1, 1975.
According to a Kansas administrative regulation, "Childbearing must be considered by the employer to be a justification for a leave of absence for female employees for a reasonable period of time."

Carolyn Kelly, assistant to the vice chancellor for academic affairs, said that paid maternity leave for unclassified employees will be offered under the University's sick leave policy.
Unclassified employees include
Kelly said parents could take 40 hours of paid family sick leave if the child were ill. But fathers receive no other special leaves of absence after the birth of a child.
"Actually, there really is no limit for sick leave," she said. Employees are entitled to one day of sick leave if they have worked for the University.
Shirley Harkess, associate professor of sociology, said she used some of her sick leave time when her child was born in November 1984. Because she has been a faculty member since 1972, she said she had plenty of sick leave time and only missed a few days of classes and office hours.
"My department was very accommodating as far as finding a teaching assistant to help me," she said.
faculty members, administrators and research assistants.
If the birth was especially difficult, and the mother was under a doctor's care, then she could use the remain-ner, then sick leave to recuperate, he said.
David Lewin, director of personnel, said classified university employees could use two weeks of vacation per child and then six weeks afterward.
The employee may also opt to take a leave of absence without pay. Lewin said the husband also could apply for an unpaid leave of absence, but that the leave would have to be considered by the head of the husband's department and the personnel office.
Classified university employees include secretaries, clerical workers and skilled craftsmen.
