“As powerful as the Board of
' Regents is ... I think it would be a
« tough position for a student to
’ be in,” he said, commenting on
i the prospect of a student board
member.
The new faculty senate also
should be an effective channel
through which student views
can be expressed, Jordan said.
He said he is glad the faculty
now has a chance to gather to
discuss its problems and hopes
Student Government will be
able to work well with the new
faculty senate.
“I hope we could use that as a
forum (through which) we could
present student issues to the fa
culty as we can the administra
tion,” he said.
The administration’s attitude
toward students has been a ma
jor strength of the University,
Jordan said. People get the feel
ing when they come here that
people care about them as indi
viduals, he said. The attitude
also comes from the faculty tak
ing time to work with students.
But research sometimes
causes faculty not to work with
students as often or as willingly
as they should, he said.
“I would like to try to work on
finding some ways that we can
encourage better teaching,” Jor
dan said. “Probably one of the
most important issues is whether
or not you’re going to get a
teacher who really cares about
teaching and is good at it.”
Jordan said he realizes that
teachers must do research be
cause the University is sup
ported largely by research
funds, but they also should be
competent teachers.
“A few professors are ex
tremely busy with research and
it’s difficult to feel like you can
go and talk to them,” Jordan
said.
However, while some depart
ments are more likely to do re
search than others, he said, most
of the faculty are extremely re
ceptive to students and will go
out of their way to help them.

Fugitive becomes ‘legend’
United Press International
FARGO, N.D. — Like a 1980s
Jesse James, fugitive gunman
Gordon Kahl is becoming a
legend to some residents of his
native North Dakota. Others see
him as a notorious criminal and
they hope he is captured soon.
Kahl has been a fugitive since
Feb. 13, when authorities tried
to arrest him outside Medina,
N.D., for violating parole on a
tax evasion conviction. A gun
battle erupted, leaving two U.S.
marshals dead and Kahl’s son
and a deputy sheriff seriously
wounded.
Kahl escaped in a police car.
Later the 63-year-old grand
father used a 1966 Rambler to
elude marshals and FBI agents.
Today some of the folks in
the central North Dakota prairie
towns around Medina are sport
ing caps that cheer, “Go Gordie,
Go” and T-shirts that proclaim,
“Gordon Kahl is my tax consul
tant.”
Neighbors have replaced win
dows and repaired other dam
age inflictea on Kahl’s farm
house when agents bombarded
it with tear gas during a search.
The U.S. Marshals Service
has offered a record $25,000 re
ward for information leading to
Kahl’s capture but no serious
takers have stepped forward.
“Whenever collects that
$25,000 isn’t going to be around
long enough to spend it,” said
one farmer.
Nearly everyone believes
Kahl is somewhere in North
Dakota and some feel he may
surface when trial starts May 9
for others — including his wife
and son — charged in the
shootout.
After his release from prison
in Leavenworth, Kan., on the
tax evasion conviction, Kahl
moved back to his farm.
Federal agents reportedly
knew he was building an arensal
of guns and ammunition at his
home so they did not try to
arrest him there.
But Kahl’s sympathizers won
der why agents didn’t try to
arrest him earlier in town.
“Under the Constitution, rat
tlesnakes, wolves and sheep can
all live in the same pasture,” Dr.
Clarence Martin of Medina said.
“Why in the world would you go
up to an angry rattlesnake and
stomp on its tail? That’s what
they did to Gordon.”

Strikers back to work
in caterpillar factories
i; (
United Press International
PEORIA, Ill. — Thousands of
United Auto Workers who
struck at the Caterpillar Tractor
Co. on Oct. 1 over its demand
for wage cuts began their First
full day of work in 205 days
Monday.
“Obviously we’re pleased,”
Caterpillar spokesman Doug
Crew said. “We’re ready to get
back to work. We’ve got a lot of
business at hand.”
Nine of 10 locals represent
ing 20,400 active workers in Illi
nois, Iowa, Ohio, Colorado,
Pennsylvania and Tennessee
accepted the pact in voting
which ran Thursday through
Saturday. The vote ended a
seven-month strike the UAW
termed its longest against a ma
jor company.
The three-year contract
workers accepted drops in the
annual 3 percent. Fixed-wage in
crease traditionally included in
the contract. But wages will in
crease through full cost-of-
living protection.
Employees of the Peoria-
headquartered Firm began their
regular schedules Monday, with
some employees reporting for
the overnight shift as early as
11:18 p.m. Sunday.
“The vote reflects that mem
bers are down to their last penny
and need to go back to work,”
said Jim O’Connor, president of
Peoria Local 974 and the sole
Peoria leader to recommend
approval.
Caterpillar, the world’s
largest maker of earth-moving
equipment, stressed it must low
er labor costs to remain competi
tive. The firm faces increased
competition from Komatsu Ltd.
of Japan.
The UAW’s central bargain
ing committee rejected the com
pany’s final offer last week, but
voted to let members make the
final decision.
UAW Vice President Stephen
P. Yokich said workers ratified
the contract by a vote of 10,703
to 5,144.
