In honor of their time and effort, the University sponsored a recognition dinner for this past year's classified retirees last night at the Adams Alumni Center. with their family, travel around the country and in one case, practice the bagpipes. Phil Rankin, associate director of the department of human resources and organizer of the dinner, said this year's group of retired classified workers was probably the largest since the University first held the ceremony in 1979. Ranging in years of service from 12 to 42 years, the retirees included fulltime clerical and library staff, custodial workers, and food service staff. The retirees said they would use their freedom to spend more time Peggy Baker, former secretary for the Germanic languages department for nine years and 12-year employee, said she welcomed retirement as an opportunity for self-improvement, including spending more time with the instrument of her heritage. "I'm getting better at it," Baker said with a laugh as her husband, Claud, stood by smiling in his plaid tie and matching kilt. "People find it hard to believe sometimes. I know." Some retires, given the opportunity to leave their old job, have volunteered to pick up in their retirement what they left off at the University. Lou Davis, former food service supervisor at Templin Hall, retired in April and said she has been planning menus and preparing meals at the Ballard Community Center in Lawrence. Despite her new responsibilities, Davis said she changed one part of her routine from her 38 years with KU food services; she now wakes up at 8 a.m. instead of 4 a.m. for work. For some classified retirees, a life spent working at the University was not just a personal decision but a family affair. "My years of service have been wonderful," Mary Beth Johnston said. "But I better retire while I'm ahead." In presenting Johnston to the rest of the guests at last night's dinner, Stephen Schroeder, director of the Life Span Institute, said the term retirement seemed strange for employees of his department. As office supervisor for the Life Span Institute in Dole Center, Mary Beth Johnston will leave her job Nov. 17 after almost 22 years at the University. She will join her husband, Roy, who retired four years ago from the department of facilities operations. "At the Life Span Institute, we've always had difficulty with the idea of 'retirement,'" Schroeder said. "We've sort of thought of it as an 'alternate career choice.'" Fraternity faces $150,000 lawsuit By Scott J. Anderson Kansan staff writer A KU fraternity has until Nov. 29 to answer a lawsuit filed by a former cook seeking more than $150,000 in damages. The former cook's lawyer, Richard White, filed the lawsuit Sept. 24 in Douglas County District Court. The suit charges Alpha KappaLambda, 2021 Stewart Ave., with breach of contract, fraud, emotional distress and negligence. The lawsuit said the fraternity never gave the cook, Sandy Lingle, a written employment agreement or federal withholding forms. Lingle was injured on the job early this semester, according to the lawsuit. She asked about workers' compensation but was given no benefits. In the meantime, the fraternity hired another cook. Lingle then was told that the fraternity was reducing her work schedule and cutting her pay, according to court records. She then turned in her resignation but was fired before she was scheduled to leave. The lawsuit said Lingle was seeking $50,000 in damages for fraud because the fraternity never intended to hire her on the terms it offered. She also is seeking $50,000 for the emotional stress caused by her firing The lawsuit also said the fraternity should pay Lingle $50,000 for negligence that resulted in financial loss suffered by Lingle. White claimed in the lawsuit that the fraternity offered Lingle $11 an hour as a cook from July 1993 to June 1994. Lingle, White and the fraternity's lawyer, James Rumsey, could not be reached for comment yesterday. Lingle was earning $6.52 an hour as a cook for Unified School District 497 when the fraternity offered her the job, the suit said.
