FacEx delays policy
FacEx members yesterday delayed action on proposed changes in faculty promotion and tenure, saying they needed to study current promotion and tenure policies.
The changes were proposed in a report from the Faculty Senate Committee on Formation and Responsibilities (FRRP), FRRP, and Responsibilities (沙化 support of spring and fall tenure reviews, by eliminating the present March review and eliminating all promotion and tenure reviews in November.
The consolidation would start in the fall of 1978. FRRP said that "to implement the proposed change next fall could cause undue hardship to a few departments."
A TENURE review for faculty members is mandatory at the end of their sixth year at the University of Kansas. For faculty members whose review comes at the end of the second year,
FRPR recommended that "if a candidate does not come out successfully for tenure in this initial (fall) review, the University Committee on Promotions and Tenure (UCPT) will leave his-her case open until late spring."
But FRPR said the last spring action should no longer be a separate tenure award, and instead the back with UCPT. The check-back would be used only for tenure applicants who had accumulated "the strength of any ad-hoc documentation" between fall and spring.
FACEX, however, questioned the necessity of the spring check-back with UCPT and asked what it would be scheduled in late spring.
Nancy Denney, associate professor of psychology and FacEx member, said the possible check-back back be "spelled out in more detail" before SenEx acted on it.
Denney and other FaeEx members said they wondered whether the check-back might actually "turn up a faculty member who won a Nobel prize between fall and spring," or would simply waste UCPT's time.
FacEx members also said they needed a week to study current promotion and tenure (2017).

T. P. Srinivasan, professor of mathematics and FRPR chairman, said in the report, 'More people seem to be against the proposed change than we expected—even if they still be in a minority—and they are not strongly on the matter than we expected.'
More than 90 per cent of the departments and schools surveyed responded, the report said. The report listed faculty objections to the POR proposal, including the following:
The present system spreads the work out for the departments and schools. If we have to put it all together in one package in the fall, the work load could be enormous. The job done by a bit of pressure to get the job done before the decision may suffer.
"IF PAST experience is any guide, for many faculty members the four to five months between November and March are valuable in terms of strengthening their students and have made the difference between an adverse and a favorable decision.
City officials received little indication of what the public is thinking about the Clinton Lake water treatment plant last night, when city officials extended a public meeting about the plant.
Four city commissioners and several city officials attended the meeting at the Lawrence Public Library. City Manager Buford Watson said, "It looks as if we are talking to ourselves." But for the benefit of the citizens present, the meeting proceeded.
The main point of the meeting was to tell Lawrence voters the advantages of using general obligation bonds instead of revenue bonds to finance the treatment plant. Voters will decide the bond issue in the March 8 primary.
Use of general obligation bonds, Watson said, would save the city $5 million in interest because they would take 20 years to repay, while revenue bonds would take 30 years to repay. The construction one year, resulting in higher construction costs due to inflation.
Watson said the city needed the water treatment plant if a water shortage arose on one side of the water system, the new storage facility, that the city still received water, he said.

The city already has spent about $160,000 installing intakes in the Clinton Reservoir. The water treatment plant is needed to purify water from the reservoir for

Regents chairman Smith, in his opening remarks, thanked the legislature for its support in the last few years. He asked for continued support, especially for the $7 per seat vote required, new Macdonald Center programs, extension courses and capital improvements.

The breast cancer detection center, which X-rays women for breast cancer, experienced a wave of appointment cancellations last August, and at one point, only half the women scheduled for breast X rays showed up.
X-ray tests back to normal after warning
After a sharp decline in patient attendance last fall, the number of cases treated at the KU Medical Center's breast cancer detection center has returned to normal, Joseph Chang, a Med Center radiologist, said yesterday.
The Med Center has continued to X-ray to check for breast cancer since then, despite tentative NCI guidelines that limit the use of mammography for breast cancer detection.

The cancellations followed a warning in August by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) that radiation from breast X rays can increase the risk of breast cancer in some women.
He said that since the time of the NCI's first warnings about the possible effects of mammographies, the American Cancer Society has used of X rays for breast cancer detection.

The NIH had said X rays should be banned for women 35 to 50 years of age unless they showed symptoms of breast cancer or were receiving cancer-related killer, among women.
The breast cancer detection center, which opened at the Med Center in September 1973, was one of the first such projects in the United States. Chang said that since its opening, more than 10,000 mammographies have been given.
The NCI based some of its studies on data gathered from Japanese women who had been exposed to radiation from atomic bomb explosions in World War II, Chang said, which was many times greater than dosages used in mammographies.
"There are no real facts indicating that mammographies can lead to breast cancer," Chang said. "All this is experimentation and there isn't one case in which mammography has caused breast cancer."

Watson said the water from Clinton was expected to be much cleaner than the water in New York, where he grew up.
After the treatment plant is completed in about two years, the city will receive most of its water from there. But the Kansas water will still be used when necessary.
