Interview questions must be fair, legal
When applying for or a job, whether through a written application or an oral interview, an applicant is asked many questions, but some shouldn't be answered.
Because of federal laws and regulations prohibiting discrimination, many questions asked by employers are illegal, according to Bonnie Ritter, director of Affirmative Action. The Equal Pay Act of 1963, Title VII of the CIVIC Code, requires education amendment of 1962 are only three such acts that set guidelines prohibiting discrimination.
The following questions are illegal for an interviewer to ask:
- The applicant's marital status
- Questions concerning pregnancy
* The number and age of the applicant's
ALTHOUGH AN interviewer can ask for general distinguishing physical characteristics, questions about an applicant's race are illegal. When information concerning height and weight isn't relevant to a job, it can't legally be required.
the interviewer may not ask the birthplace of the applicant nor may he request a birth certificate before hiring. The employer may request proof of age after the applicant is hired. Photographs may not be required before hiring.
The interviewer may ask an applicant's current address and how long he has lived there, but may not make specific inquiries. A lawyer may also indicate an applicant's national origin.
QUESTIONS ABOUT a person's academic career are legal but the interviewer may not ask about the nationality, racial or religious affiliation of the school attended. Requiring specification of religious preference is also illegal.
Specific questions concerning the mental and physical health of the applicant may be asked if relevant to work performance. However, general inquiries—"Do you have any health conditions that would affect your health conditions unrelated to job performance, are illegal."
All questions about a person's past work experiences are legal but questions about an individual's current life experience.
RITTER SAID if asked an illegal question, a person should "answer as defyly"

as possible that question which should have been asked in its place."
The University of Kansas returned Friday to 100 per cent natural gas usage after alternating between oil and natural gas to heat KU buildings.
Kansas Public Service Gas Co., Inc., supplies KU with natural gas, Gas Orke, director of facilities operations, said.
"We're not using any oil right now, but I expect we may have some more changeovers, yet, depending on the weather." he said.
For example, many times when an interviewer asks an applicant's marital status, he is actually trying to find out whether the applicant is apt to move, she said. Often, employer favors married to single applicants under the same employment responsibility and therefore won't move if he has a job according to Ritter.
in a case where marital status is asked,
before, the applicant should state how
he or she would like to be married.
If illegal questions are asked, a complaint can be filed. Generally a complaint must be made within 180 days of the incident.
Legislation that prohibits the questions determines where the complaint should be made...
KU operated on 50 per cent oil and 50 per cent natural gas for two days last week and ran completely on oil during the previous week.
RITTER SAID many illegal questions are

of the nature of the complaint.
For example, as prohibited under Title VII, a complaint about sex discrimination should be made to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Further information about filing a complaint may be obtained through the KU Office of Affirmative Action, 235 Strong Hall.
KANSAS CITY, Kan.-Because of "great pressure" the current accelerated three-year curriculum places on medical students, the KU Medical Center is reintroducing a more traditional four-year curriculum in camouflage Archie Dykes said yesterday.
By BARRY MASSEY
Staff Reporter
Beginning this year, medical students will have the option to choose between the three-year program or to return to a more traditional program. You can also be reinforced on a staggered basis.
Old Med Center program returns
Dykes said the three-year program didn't give medical school students enough time to participate in research projects or to expire before next other than their required curriculum.
"STUDENTS AND faculty were unhappy with the three-year program," Kydes said, and "the vast majority thought that the program did not provide the best education."
"It subjected students to constant pressure and pressed them from getting nervous."
Since 1973, when the three-year program was introduced, Med Center students have been able to receive a M.D. degree after three years of continuous study, Dwight Mulford, dean of admissions at the Med Center, said last week.

IN THE CLASS that begins in 1978, however, 170 of the 200 students will be in the four-year program, Mulford said. From then on, only a few openings in a separate three-year program will be available to special students.
Citing much the same reasons for the change as Dykes, Mulford said that great demands placed on medical students by three years of continuous study were the primary factors in making the decision to change.

"We thought that the accumulation of knowledge would be greater if they had more time," he said. "Now they have no free time to do anything else."

THE THREE-YEAR program requires 18 months of basic science course work, 11 months in clinical training and a one month summer break. You must be the student's time, before he begins his
In addition, the four-year program provides a three-month summer vacation after each academic year, unlike the three-year program because it has only short breaks in semesters.
According to Mulford, a student will now decide on his program option during an interview at the Med Center. The student is then asked to choose which program he prefers, but is also told he might not get that preference.
Under the four-year program, a student takes two academic years of basic science work and two more years of clerkships, before receiving a degree.
internship, is open for elective courses or additional clinical clerkships.
IF SOMEONE isn't satisfied with his assigned program, Mullford said, he can either make a switch with someone from the other program who agrees to do so, or withdraw from the Med Center and go elsewhere.
Lykees had many medical schools that had adopted a three-year program have shifted back to a four-year program because the medical school lacked inability to adequately cover the required
material and give medical students the practical experience they needed.
HE SAID A four-year program would allow medical students more opportunities to gain practical experience in a working area outside the medical school.
Also, he said, a four-year program would be more conducive to attracting students to the areas of family practice and primary care. He also said that the program forced early decisions on specialization.
Mulfard said that although the number of doctors to graduate from the Med Center in the next few years would decrease slightly because of the new guidelines, both he and Dykes agreed that the decline wouldn't be very large in the long run.

"Probably one difficulty with the changeover is that we haven't had the three-year program long enough to assess it," Mulford said.
"They may have to work harder in the three-year program, and put out more effort in a shorter time," he said, "but it doesn't mean they won't make as good a doctor."
