Counties: cut out-district tuition
The Associated Press
TOPERA — Spokesmen for the Sedgwick and Douglas County boards of commissioners and the head of a community college urged a legislative study committee yesterday to support elimination of out-district tuition and replace it with increased state funding for the two-year schools.
Wille Martin of Sedgwick County and Chris McKenzie, Douglas County administrator, said charges levied on counties whose students attended community colleges in other counties had become a burden for taxpayers in them. They said the state should fund the community colleges just as it funded the regents' universities.
Larry Devine, president of Highland Community College in Domiphan County, said the community colleges favored abolishing out-district tuition, with the important note that the state replac the revenue "dollar for dollar."
They testified before the Legislative Educational Planning Committee, which is considering recommending changes in the funding of the state's 19 community colleges.
The state Board of Education, which supervises the community colleges, is proposing to the 1989 Legislature that out-district tuition be phased out over a five-year period and that the state replace the revenue from the general fund. The board estimates it will take an appropriation of $2.1 million in Fiscal Year 1990 to start the
phaseout.
Presently, the colleges and Washburn University are financed by a combination of tuition charged students, local property taxes, state aid paid on the basis of credit or education, and tuition paid by other counties whose students attend the schools.
Home counties of students from outside the county where the community college located must pay $24 per semester.
McKenzie said Douglas County paid $135,900 in out-of-
payment for its students in 1967, and projects the cost at $15,838 a year.
Both Martin and McKenzie said their boards of commissioners were concerned because community colleges offered courses in close proximity to their counties, seeking to hire students away from Wichita State University and the University of Kansas with the attraction of lower tuition rates.
"We do not believe that we are getting the most effective return for our educational dollars." Martin said. "Local and state tax funding is being used to support education, and there is a competition between institutions of higher learning."
McKenzie said Douglas County recognizes it bears responsibility to pay for its students, and said the local property tax is not the "appropriate mechanism" to fund higher education, including the community colleges.

Auction draws protesters

About 14 people carrying signs paced the sidewalk outside the Hotel last night and protected KKK's recent format change.
Sam Elliott, faculty adviser and general manager of JKHH, stood in the lobby of the Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St., waiting for the annual auction to begin. About 200 students milled around him.
"Look at it this way," Elliott said. "There are 14 people protesting outside and 200 people in here trying to do so." He said he doesn't think it a very big issue.
The protesters did not interfere with the auction's success.
Jerry Howard, station manager,
said as the event wound down that
the auction netted about $7,000, which
will pay for the station.
Coupons for pizza and dinners as well as personal computers and business typewriters were auctioned, Howard said.
About 400 to 500 people attended the auction throughout the evening. How-
There are 14 people protesting outside and 200 people in here trying to contribute to, and better JKHK. I don't think it's a very big issue.

Elliott said he thought the changes that were made were minor and that the alterations had strengthened the station.
Myers said he didn't think the protesters had the stations best interests at heart.
Kelly Myers, a station employee,
said the station was doing better
than its former format changes. He
disputed control of the control
of the station had diminished.
"We took a look at what was good,
and we took a look at what was bad
about the station and eliminated the
bad stuff." "I think it's a better product."
"The change is minimal," said Myers, aLENexa senator. "Profanity, thrash rock and a few special programs have been eliminated."
"I not sure that the station is first with them," Myers said. "Some programs that they really enjoyed have been eliminated, and I can tell you why they are upset, but I think bittersick is a tremendous cause."
