Gilmore to be executed
SALT LAKE CITY—The execution of convicted murderer Gary Gilmore will be "had a fatal trial and the sentence was proposed." Gilmore had told the panel he "had a fatal trial and the sentence was proposed."
He could be executed as early as next Monday.
The 2-1 vote came after the board heard nearly two hours of testimony on the Gilmore case, including a plea from Gilmore that the state proceed with his execution by a firing squad for killing a motel clerk during a robbery. Other witnesses who testified in the case were aggrieved by board members from discussing the constitutionality of the death penalty.
Gilmore told the board he neither sought nor deserved clemency. He said "It's my life and my death."
Gilmore, who has been fighting for a quick execution so he doesn't have to spend a lifetime in prison, described yesterday's proceedings as "much ado about it."

President-elect will make economic decisions early
Bv The Associated Press
President-elect Jimmy Carter is finding that he will have to make critical economic decisions in the early days of his administration.
The Common Market nations agreed yesterday that they couldn't deal with many of their economic problems until after Carter was inaugurated and the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) decided oil prices.
On the domestic front, the Labor Department said the job layoff rate in the nation's factories rose in October for the third consecutive month. The department said manufacturers laid off 1.7 workers from August to November and from 1.5 in September, and 1.5 in August.

There was some good news for con-
More evidence about next year's economy will be released today. A government report suggests that economic indicators of leading economic indicators would be neither up nor down for October after two months.
The price of steel is also an issue facing the incoming administration. Carter has expressed concern about price hikes of 6 per cent announced by the nation's steel producers, Carter said it could give the OPEC nations impetus to seek even higher prices than they might have otherwise at their upcoming conference.

The Senate approved the club'requested $2,911 budget Nov. 10, to loot keep its reserved practice times at the Iceland Sink Rink in Kansas City, Mo.

"We do know it's not going to be just an ice rink but a small complex that would include a restaurant, bar and locker rooms. We would want it for everyone who wanted to rent it," he said.
Hansen said it also 'it should us each so much to play. I alone have spent $350 just for me'
SINCE SPETEMBER the club has practiced on 10 p.m., every Tuesday at 10 a.m.

basic factors the firm will study is the financial feasibility of the prolect. he said;
Hansen estimated the cost of the complex at between $600,000 and $750,000, but added it was difficult to calculate the plumbing and electrical costs of such a building.
"Right now it's very speculative, but very positive. Tom Hansen, club president, said
BILL CONGLETON, former student and member of the club, said the Eva-Wierley-Hutchison and Associates Consulting Engineers would submit a cost proposal for drawing a typographical layout of the land. Drawings and aerial photographs would guarantee the land's suitability for the university campus. The Kubota architectural firm will then be designing the complex, Congleton said. Both are Lawrence firms.

But the sport draws spectators, about 360 each game and at least 65 of those, students, despite last year's 1-6 record. Hansen said. He said he considered forming a booster when so many people called him last year for getting buses scheduled for the games.
Ice Hockey Club seeks city rink
Hansen said a consulting firm in Boston also was studying the project, and final planning would come after its conclusions in late December or early January. One of the
work began on a second report in October 1974.
Exigency...
From page one
The final report defined financial exigency as "a condition descriptive only of the University as a whole, a unique and compelling financial crisis that would jeopardize the ability of the University to operate in such a situation unless faculty positions are reduced by the release of one or more tenured faculty members . . ."
He emphasized that much research still needed to be done before plans were complete.
Club members plan to distribute a survey during the first week of classes in January to determine community interest in an ice rink.
Hansen said a site had been picked in the northwest part of town that was suitable for the project.
Rink owners in the Kansas City area also are reluctant to provide such information, because, he said, "they know immediately you're going to steal their business."
In April 1978 the second report was passed unanimously by the Senate, with onechance
NOW, THE RINK is scheduled to be built by a local privateIVATE. Hansen said.
Hansen said he also had been trying to correspond with risks in Boston and St. Louis.

A clause in the document stated that tenured faculty members who had been dismissed would be given first chance at any job offered at KU, but this apparently was in violation of recommendations by the Office of Affirmative Action.
TO COMPLY, the wording was changed so that a dismissed faculty member could be given priority only in his own department.
After the Senate passed the policy, it was sent to Chancellor Archie Dykes, and the Senate rejected it.
THE KU CLUB has also solicited support from the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department.
But in May 1975, a report from the University administration stated that one clause of the document was unacceptable: that prevented the hiring of new faculty could be hired in one department while another faculty were being dismissed in another.
Fred DeVictor, director of parks and recreation, said the only available place for ice skating now was "traying park" in the North Central Park. In freezing temperatures, the tennis courts are framed and flooded for skating. He said
The KU club was beaten by Missouri both Nov. 19, and 20, but the MU club is funded by the man who owns the rink, Hansen said, "and they money us to death."
Congleton the only support from the university probably would be skating classes.
The chancellor will designate which units will lose faculty members on the basis of what will do the least damage in the quality of teaching to the University as a whole.
THE REPORT states that only after all possible alternatives have been studied and rejected should a tenured faculty member be released.
after a hearing before SenEx, the
advisor will be the one to declare
financial exigency.
In the preamble, several preventive measures are recommended, including the revision of the present faculty-student ratio as a basis for state funding.
Sharkel said at an earlier Council meeting that her enrollment might drop to 15,000 by 1987.
ALSO, FACULTY members won't be fired, but laid off, so that their fringe bene can be covered. The release required is contained, including the challenge to declare the exigency of exegesis.
to appeal to the University Committee on Tenure and Related Problems.
At tomorrow's Senate meeting, Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, will speak about problems of a possible declining enrollment at KU, a factor that could cause financial exigency.
Whatever outside support they receive, Hansen said, he anticipates many more staff members from the group.
The report states that when and if faculty cuts become necessary, they must come in units, or by departments, and won't be Universitywide.
Then be, with the students, faculty and administration of that unit, will decide what they must be given one year's notice whenever possible, and they have the right

said. "The thing is it's kind of far-
fetched."
To present the document to the Senate members, Gold plans to use a slide projector and slide transparencies so that everyone can read it.
According to the proposal, the student housing board is intended to provide communication between organized and non-organized living groups at KU.
The Senate also will discuss the creation of a student housing board and the appointment of receipts to be collected at a lost and found auction Friday afternoon.
The proposal would require Senate approval of all Events Committee policies and would restore a student voting majority on the committee.
Possible Student Senate jurisdiction over the University Events Committee will be discussed at the Senate meeting at 6:30 tonight in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas
Events Committee policies are now self-approved, and staff and administration representatives comprise a majority in the committee.

Receipts from the lost and found auction would be allocated to the Student Senate Services Committee for reallocation in spring budget hearings.
