Colleague testifies in Willner's defense
Kansan staff writer

A University of Chicago professor of anthropology told a University committee yesterday that Dorothy Willner was a well-respected anthropologist who took her professionalism seriously.
"I think her reputation is quite admirable. I think she's taken very seriously," said the professor, Raymond D. Fogelson. Fogelson testified before the Faculty Senate Committee on Teurore and Related Problems dismissal hearings continued for Willner, professor of anthropology.
He also said that legal briefs Will-
ner had prepared for a lawsuit she brought against the University could be considered legitimate anthropological research because they represented 'an exercise of research faculties'. In 1988, Willer submitted his thesis to the University of scholarly research, to be taken into account for a merit pay increase.
"I Ultimately, anthropology begins with the self, in a very real sense." Fogelson said. "I also think she was trying to learn from the experience and use it as a kind of research base."
When Rose Marino, the chancellor's legal representative, asked Fogelson whether he knew about Wilmer's latest research, he said he
was aware of the ongoing diamissal proceedings against her.
"This is anthropological research this hearing?" Maripo asked.
"Could be," Fogelson said, adding that there were "social processes going on."
He said that he did not have an ethical problem with the fact that he was teaching a $2 million conjunction with a $2 million suit against some of her KU colleagues.
"I think the times change; I think
He said that professional standards adopted by the American Anthropological Association were acceptable as general guidelines but that application of the standards would require a case-by-case consideration.
there are a lot of variables one must consider." Fogelson said.
In other testimony, two media services employees testified about problems they had in 1987 when they tried to arrange films for Willner's classes.
Marjorie Penner, office assistant in media services, said that Willner had accused her of destroying the continuity of her class by being negligent in her duties.
Book says investigator 'schmoozed' lawmakers
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The outside counsel called in to investigate ethics charges against former House Speaker Jim Wright wined and dined members of the ethics committee and ran up an expense account of more than $150,000, according to a new book on Wright's tenure.
The attorney, Richard J. Phelan of
Chicago, "routinely took committee members out to dinner at some of the most expensive restaurants in Washington," writes John Barry in the book, "The Ambition and the Power," published by Viking.
During the two years of research for the book, Wright granted Barry unusually broad access to otherwise private meetings of the House leadership and meetings with the speaker's
staff.
Barry, quoting from secret transcripts of closed-door arguments before the ethics committee, said Phelan continued his courtship of the panel in those sessions, praising them for their work and using exaggeration as he argued that Wright had violated house rules.
At one point, referring to Wright's acceptance of gifts from a Fort
Worth businessman and friend,
George Mallick, Phelan was said to
have told the panel: "In Chicago we
call it having someone in your
pocket."
Phelan strongly denied the charges that he had exerted undue influence on the ethics panel. He said he dined out with its members only a few times .
Political factions on campus square off on foreign policy
By Bryan Swan Kansan staff writer
The KU Democrats and the College Republicans traded verbal jabs in a debate about U.S. policy in El Salvador last night at the Centennial Room in the Kansas Union.
Attempts by the U.S. government to influence upcoming Nicaraguan elections with financial aid and political candidate candidates also was debated.
Tom Walker, policy chairman for the College Republics, said military and economic aid to kill Salvador had led to the fostering of enterprise, control of the military and punishment of death sound activity.
"President Bush's policy has been to use aid as a lever to control what is going on now." he said.
Ryan Tarpley, fund-raising chairman for KU Democrats, said that the Bush administration had done nothing to encourage peace by sending military aid, and that writing the leftist rebels (FMLN) off as a military force was a giant policy error.
"The FMLN wanted a cut-off of
U. S. military aid before they agreed to lay their guns down," he said. "Alfredo Cristiani (El Salvador's president) said no. The FMLN took that as an act of war, and you've seen what has happened. We've seen more death than ever before."
Carl Ring, a member of KU Democrats, said that the El Salvador economy was awash in red ink and that this was forcing a reversal of previous land reform initiatives.
John Gladbach, a member of College Republicans, said the FMLN did not have popular support.
The debate later shifted to U.S. policy regarding Nicaragua and the elections scheduled there for February. Both sides agreed that President Daniel Ortega and the Sandinistas did not have popular support and cited polls that stated he would lose in a fair election.
Gladbach said Ortega and Cuban president Fidel Castro were the last of the Stalinists and that they had been left in the dust by recent changes in the communist world.
College Memory
This year, Macintosh will remember more about KU than you will. That's because the 1990 Jayhawker Yearbook is being produced entirely on Macintosh computers.And the results are something the staff won't soon forget.
Before, editing and reworking pages was time-consuming and expensive. So the decision was made to teach the entire staff to use Macintosh computers.
Here's what they learned to do within a month: cut production time by 75%, use that time to explore more creative ideas, and improve the quality of the Jayhawker with the graphic capabilities of Macintosh.
So when you see this year's Jayhawker, remember that a Macintosh could do the same for you.
