KU is requesting an amendment to the legislative budget to provide additional funds for the Med Center. The University submitted the original budget to the Regents in September.
"The situation is that in some areas in the Mesa region, there are special problems having recruiting staffing positions," said Keith Nitcher, director of business operations.
Nitcher said the additional money would increase salaries in positions such as nursing and medical technology.
The amendment requires state approval.
KU also will ask the Regents to approve final plans for the Wescoe Hall cafeteria renovation.
“There will be no expansion, not refurbishing,” Nitcher said. “We’re just putting in new kitchen equipment and upgrading the interior.”
The Regents will discuss new guidelines for determining Regents distinguished professors.

Protesters call for human rights
By Craig Welch
About 20 KU chapter members of Amnesty International marched from Hoch Auditorium to Watson Library yesterday, protesting human rights violations in Colombia.

The group, marching in two lines, carried posters that included names of people who had been killed and pleaded for help in the fight against murder and imprisonment.
"It was just an informative demonstration," said Gene Gidman. Wichita freshman and the event's organizer. "We can't condemn anyone — neither the Colombian government nor guerillas — because Amnesty International is a nonpartisan organization."
The group also handed passivity a copy of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948.
Fridman said that the greatest cause of death for Colombian men between the ages of 15 and 44 was murder and that 14,000 people were killed in 1986.
Acts in Colombia are focus of march
He also said the country was dominated by three organizations: a right-wing government, left-wing guerrillas and mafia druglords. Mysterious "death squads" are held responsible for much of the killing, but Fridman suggested Colombian military also might be involved.
Fridman said all of his information could be attributed to Amnesty International headquarters in London or the national chapter in Chicago.
"Columbia is home to over 140 different death squads." Fridman said in a speech after the march. "But perhaps the most conclusive indication of security force involvement in the death squadrats that nobody has been prosecuted so far is the use of political killings attributed to the squadrats."
Andrew Johnson, vice president of the campus
group and a Shawnee junior, that said every semester Ammett concentrated its efforts on a project.
"Columbia is special because so many of the atrocities have occurred recently," he said.
Watching the event were Peter Wuelfling and his wife, Svea, from Colgene, West Germany. Peter Wuelfling is a visiting professor in Europe, and are members of Annetty in West Germany.
Swea Vulwen, one of the founding members of the West German organization in 1963, said she was pleased to see U.S. students becoming involved.
Peter Wuelfing said the problem was not limited to Colombia.
"This situation is an example of a larger, generally political problem — the progressive masking of dictatorships," he said. "Many dictatorships try to call themselves democracies."
Democratic candidate for sheriff calls department 'complacent'
By Barbara Joseph
By Barbara Joseph Kansan staff writer
The Democratic candidate for sheriff has charged that the Douglas County sheriff department has become complacent, citing a recent report of fewer arrests made here than in other counties.
Gale Pineau, the Democratic candidate and owner of Lawrence Security Patrol, 1900 Cross gate drive, is distributing literature that cites arrest statistics for 1884-87. Pineau will face Douglas County Undersheriff Loren Burton, a Republican in the November election.
Pingaré's literature indicates that the Douglass County sheriff's department has made comparatively fewer arrests for burglaries, drug abuse violations and driving under the license of alcohol than were made by the sheriff in neighboring Jefferson and Franklin counties.
"They're not doing their job." Pinegar said.
However, Anderson said those figures were "pretty good."
partner, Tim Ballue, said the figures he and Pinegar had compiled showed that taxpayers were not getting their money's worth from the sheerity'd department.
"We feel like they're complacent," Ballew said.
Pinegar and Ballow gave as an example Kansas Bureau of Investigation statistics for the 1970s.
Pinegar's campaign manager and business
The their figures showed that out of 33 burglaries reported, Franklin County arrested 15 suspects in 4.7 percent of the nine arrests out of the 123 burglaries reported, or 7 percent. Douglas County made four arrests out of 103 burglaries reported, or 3 percent. A KBI confirmed that the figures were correct.
Anderson said one reason the reported arrests for Douglas County were low was that the police custodian of the records, had not been filing follow-up reports with KBI. He explained that Lawrence police sent in reports after officers were found to have broken into a point, there may not have been any suspects.
However, if a suspect is arrested later, Lawrence police do not send in a follow-up report. he said. Thus, KBI would show a burglary committed, but no suspect arrested
"It's unclear as to who's responsibility it is to you, the sheriff's department or the Lawyer in your case." The answer "but it needs to be sent in, and I will make sure it is not paid any attention to it until my employer gives me notice."
Anderson said the low figures were also misrepresentative because Pinegar used a population for Douglas County of 70,411, which includes the Douglas County, Lawrence, KU, Baldwin and Eudora police departments, yet it was reported from all five reporting areas. He said Douglas County sheriff's department was responsible for a population of 9,738, not 70,411.
Lawrence police disagree. LL Mark Brothers said that KBI did receive follow-up information on the incident.
figure of 103 burglaries sounded low
Using statistics from all five reporting areas, Anderson said there were 66 burglary arrests in the last year.
"Gale is trying to deceive the voters or don't know how to read the KBOI book," said Gale.
Capt. Marilyn Malson of the Douglas County's department also disagreed with the claim that the arrest was for fraud.
"They're comparing a metropolitan and rural county (Douglas) against strictly rural counties (Franklin and Jefferson)." Malson said. "It's not a fair comparison."
A KR professor who teaches statistics in the School of Business cautioned on the interpretation.
"Great care should be taken in interpreting a challenge," the Chancellor Club Teaching Professor of Business. "It's always possible for someone to present only part of the story, not the whole."
Shern said, however, that he did not have enough information on this situation to judge whether he was competent.
KU to get new cooling equipment next week
Air conditioning replaced at Blake, GSP-Corbin halls
By Mark Fagan Kansan staff writer
Now that tie weather has cooled plans are in the works for replacing some cooling equipment on campus.
Jim Mogol, campus director of facilities planned, said Monday that contracts had been awarded for the replacement air conditioning equipment in Blake Hall and Gertrude Sellars Pearson-Corbin Hall.

Now that we're out of the cooling season, it gives us a chance to go in there without interrupting (cooling)
He said that preliminary work on the projects could begin next week.
"Now that we're out of the cooling season, it gives us a chance to go in there without interrupting (cooling) service." Modig said.
Replacement of a cooler and chiller power in Blake Hall will cost about $25,000. You can carry heat from a building to a cooling tower, which then expels the heat.
Motig said Blake's present system, which serves Blake. Fraser Hall and the chancellor's residence, was inefficient because it was too large.
"It's like using a huge air conditioner for a two-room apartment," he said.
Gerald Babin, an engineer with Associated Engineering Consultants of Kansas City, Mo. which drew up a proposal for the agreement. He said the old 300-ton steam-powered chiller now in use would be replaced by a more efficient type.
Babin said the cooling towers also needed to be replaced. The towers, behind Twente Hall, are too old and diapated, he said.
"You don't have to be an engineer to see that they're falling apart," he said.

He said that this week he would submit scheduling plans to the University for approval.
"We're just now getting into it," he said.
Charlie Johnson, estimator for Stanger Industries, said it could take as long as 16 weeks before he would air the conditioning equipment.
Work on the cooling炉 at GSP-Corbin, meansile, is progressing more slowly Stanger Industries inc. The plant in Mo., Mto, is handling the $3,839 bill.
Although work probably would not be able to begin until after Jan. 1, Johnson said he was confident the robot will be installed by the April 1 deadline.
"It should be in by the cooling season," he said.
