Regents missed academic freedom The knee-jerk reaction last week of Kansas Board of Regents members to an alternative policy on social media prepared by a work group made up of faculty and staff representatives from all six regents universities was disappointing. Although the members of the Regents’ Governance Commit- tee were receptive to adding some language that was included in the work group’s proposal, they flatly refused to reconsider the disciplinary aspects of the policy which are most bother- some to university faculty members concerned about protect- ing academic freedom. According to many faculty members, the regents’ disregard for those concerns could have a dire im- pact on the ability to attract and retain top faculty members at the state’s universities. In their report, the members of the faculty and staff work group did what the regents thought was unnecessary before ap- proving their social media policy earlier this year: They looked at social media policy at public and private universities across the country to see what they could learn. What they found is that no other school applied a disciplinary standard like that imposed in Kansas except for instances that involved official university communications such as official websites or Twitter Earth Day alone won’t save planet accounts.

Bidding Quiz 1. Three spades. Having passed one spade, you are now obliged to tell partner you like spades and have some values. To bid two spades at this point is simply not adequate – that is what you would do if your clubs were, say, Q-10-4-3. Part- Todd the Dinosaur • Patrick Roberts ner’s redouble indicates well above a minimum opening bid – for example, he might have

in which case you would surely want to be in game. Partner might or might not pass three spades, but it is your responsibility to give him the maximum amount of encouragement after having passed initially. 2. Three diamonds. After partner’s jump-shift, slam is a distinct possibility, and you can indi- cate this by cuebidding the ace of diamonds be- fore raising spades at your next turn. The second choice is to jump to four spades directly over three clubs. It would be wrong to bid only three spades at this point. That is what you would do if Zits • Jim Borgman & Jerry Scott the king of clubs were the deuce. 3. Double. East will probably go down three or four – 800 or 1,100 points at this vulnerabil- ity – and you shouldn’t let him off the hook by bidding three notrump instead. You don’t often get such a fine chance to teach an opponent to mind his manners after your partner opens with one notrump. 4. Five notrump. This is the grand slam force convention, asking partner to bid seven diamonds if he holds two of the three top honors in the suit. If he has only one top honor, he bids six dia- monds. In either case, you plan to play the hand in hearts. (c)2014 King Features Syndicate Inc. Page 8 Colby Free Press Friday, April 25, 2014 To place your classified ad, mail (155 W.
