Board committee suggests changes in tenure PORTLAND (Special — Administration and operation of tenure in the State System of Higher Education and proposed changes was the focal point of a meeting of the State Board of Higher Education's academic affairs committee held Friday. The main thrust of the proposed changes, recommended to be sent to the full board for further action in its meeting July 23 in Portland, was to make tenure able to provide instructors with job security while still leaving opportunity for in stitutions to recruit new personnel by spelling out the guidelines and definition of tenure as clearly as possible so faculty and institutions would be aware what was expected of them. Robert Holmes, a member of the committee, said. “Our job seems to be to make things as clear as possible " The following are some of the changes proposed by the committee: (1) The possibility of terminating faculty members involved in programs eliminated or reduced for financial needs. (2) Providing the use of “fixed term ap pointments" for a special group of faculty mem bers, including those whose salaries are paid out of gifts, grants, or contract funds, visiting professors and part-time faculty members. This could also be used to alleviate the present problem of the “up or out" policy. Under present regulations, faculty members who have not been placed on tenure after six years of employment must either be given tenure or a year’s notice. (3) Tenure is to apply only at the school the person is employed at and can’t be transferred. (4) Setting up guidelines for a systematic review of faculty members who have been given tenure. (5) Requiring faculty members to be employed and evaluated annually for five consecutive years before they can be considered for tenure instead of the present set-up where faculty members are eligible for tenure after three years of employment. (6' Requiring a minimum of six months’ notice of termination for faculty members in their second year of employment at a state institution instead of the current provision for a year's notice for faculty employed one full year. The present requirement for a minimum of three months’ notice during the first year of employment would still be in effect. Discussion on whether to allow tenure for faculty teaching less than full-time but more than half-time was considered. The chairer of the committee. Elizabeth Johnson, said, “I’m con cerned about how you compute who’s part time.” German AUTO SERVICE i^jj^ VOLKSWAGEN & PORSCHE DATSUN& TOYOTA FACTORY TRAINED EXPERTS 2045 FRANKLIN BLVD. Bus.

Eight patients added to program The Kidney Association of Oregon (KAO) has announced that eight more Oregonians have been added to its life-saving program, individuals who have developed kidney failure and who must use an artificial kidney machine to stay alive. The new patients are: Jannice Claypool and Geraldine Bentley, Roseburg; Ilene Schultz, Tigard; Dwight TTiompson, Rogue River; Norma Putman, Carlton; John Putyrski, Scappoose; Juanita Martin, Bend; and Janice Scott, Portland. According to the announcement by KAO executive director Chuck Foster, 35 Oregonians are now being kept alive in the Kidney Association statewide program. Foster said, “We have admitted 13 new patients to our dialysis program since the beginning of 1973. This,” he explained, “is a larger number of patients than have been added in previous years, an average of more than two new patients per month. Prior to 1973, KAO had been admitting an average of about one new patient each month.” Committee asks Wounded Knee donations The Wounded Knee Legal Defense-Offense Committee is looking for everything from real estate securities and automobiles to bail money and law books to continue helping those arrested in and around Wounded Knee, S.D. All of the defendants are presently out on bond but the committee anticipates future arrests will bring a need for more bail money and legal aid. The committee sees their work continuing for many more months due to lengthy trials, appeals and affirmative action suits. Susan Tilsen, a member of the committee, has circulated a letter calling for aid in various forms. Typewriters, an adding machine, a duplicating machine and certain law books are needed as well as autos for transportation to,and from the committee’s Rapid City law office. Tilsen’s letter requests that the committee be contacted before sending law books. Any money should be sent by check, in the com mittee’s name, to P.0 Box 147, Rapid City, S.D. 57701. Money for bail in excess of $1,000 will be deposited in a trust ac count that pays interest. Donors can make arrangements for these deposits with the committee. The committee will also accept land as security for bail. Tilsen’s letter also mentions a 46-minute promotional audio tape about the history and present situation of Wounded Knee. Tapes are selling for $5 for individuals and $15 for radio stations and newspapers. The tape can only be used for news and fund-raising, according to Tilsen’s letter.
