Show The Daily Utah Thursday, April 29, 1999 KAPPA SIGMA continued from page 3 campus. On Sept. 2, the Chronicle published a story about a member of the University of Utah chapter of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. He was hurt by a fall during a party. The man, Jonathan Sill, was rushed to U Hospital and was listed in serious condition. The reporter who wrote on the injury gathered the information during the day, wrote the story, and went home. Around 8 p.m. Tuesday, Jason Ellis, then president of Kappa Sigma, apparently came to the Chronicle office with two other individuals and began to ask questions. First he asked to speak with the reporter who worked on the story, then he asked for the editor in chief. Ellis proclaimed he had come to the Chronicle to stop the story from running. He was told by Chronicle employees that if the story was news ELECTION continued from page 3 of next year's ASUU President Ben McAdams and vice president Ryan Oakes. The two major parties, Convergence and United, both spent over $2000 a piece. worthy, it would run. Ellis was angered by the statement and allegedly threatened the employee. He went as far as to say that Sill is the grandson of a university donor and hinted that publishing the story might negatively affect the writer's future. Chronicle Editor in Chief Stephen Spencer got Ellis' side of the story late Tuesday night; but the story was not Utah-BY- U Chronicle photographers Several petty grievances were filled to the elections committee with complaints of damage to posters, poster placement and illegal advertisement.

La, who is also an employee of The Daily Utah Chronicle, had finished photographing the game, and "was around the 50 yard line just taking pictures of celebrations," he said. Inadvertently, he stumbled upon a fight occurring in the stands between Utah and BYU fans and began taking pictures of the situation. He then noticed that two other Officers completed mandatory diversity training and attended various seminars with trainers from the News and Tribune. "We realize that we were personally responsible for this episode during the game, and we are really making a concerted effort to train our officers," he said. "We're obviously here to serve the university community, and it's important that you sec the relationship between the officers and the media." Shores Awaits Verdict of Hearing Committee ((ttiwrsittf, Booigtore's Annad Former University of Utah roofer Paul Shores is holding his breath for the decision of the staff grievance committee. Shores appeared in front of the committee to protest being let go by the U. In a "reduction in force" on Dec. 9, 1998 he left after almost 27 years of service to the U. Shores was three years from retirement and asked the committee to abridge that time and give him a full retirement package. Shores believes his unemployment may have been triggered by his affiliation with the U employees' union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. Shores was a shop steward, a position which obligated him to take all employee complaints to the union.

While this number is pitifully insignificant in the overall scheme of the U's massive budget, it is noteworthy in what it symbolizes. Of the $1.5 million, $1 million is base funding. That means the money will be renewed every year. So the U will get $1 million this year and the next, and the next. The Legislature's gesture is significant in that it gives Machcn something to build on. He hopes this small amount will grow year by year until the U can become free of the Legislature's control. Moreover, the U's independence would cut through a lot of red tape. The U wouldn't have to present its yearly reports to the Legislature explaining what it needs money for.
