Five of the Student Senate's standing committees that bear funding requests for student groups completed their funding recommendations last night.
The entire Senate will vote on the recommendations next Tuesday and Wendy
—ACADEMIC AFFAIRS was forced to be particularly stringent in its recommendations because it had requests for about twice the amount it had to allocate. The committee heard a total of $38,688 in requisitions, but had not $19,178 to allocate.
The other Senate committee that hears
their own reports to Culture Affairs
finalized its response.
Mark Anthony, Academic Affairs
cochairman, said the committee thought that a lot of the groups deserved substantial funding, so an attempt was made to make the cuts proportional to the groups' sizes.
Many of the cuts were in the area of travel expenses, he said.
THE SPORTS COMMITTEE approved the funding recommendations submitted to it by the Recreational Advisory Board, a team of six advisors decides on allocations to KU sports clubs
The Undergraduate Anthropology Club was cut substantively. Anthony said the club was given particular scrutiny because this was the first year it had requested regular Senate funds. The club requested $2,277, but was allocated just $165.
The board had recommended Tuesday the following allocations, with requests in parentheses. Soccer (Bush), $800 ($780); Basketball (Bush), $804 ($1,674.4); Cricket Fencing (Bush), $804 ($1,674.4); Cricket

Subcommittee to consider Senate funding for KUAC
The subcommittee has been created by a resolution passed earlier in the night by the Senate, which included the committee member, submitted the resolution, which also favors the Senate's cut of KUAC funding last fall and directs the subcommittee to have its members will have on athletic ticket sales next fall.
Tedde Tasheff, student body president,
said last night the bill would be sponsored
by John Broadie, Sports Committee
chairman.
Shapiro said he would like the subcommittee to investigate how KUAC spends its money.
A bill that would reinstate some Student Senate funding of the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation will be submitted newly created ticket subsidy subcommittee.
"I'd like to get students into the program (KUAC) and get them to be an integral part of the job."
money and make sure that students are involved," he said.
Tasheff, who favors Broadie's bill that would reinstate about $2.50 of every student's activity fee to KUAC, said she thought the subcommittee's investigation could go on regardless of whether funding was cut.
Club, $258.70 ($600.37); and Intramurals,
$28.81 (the same).
She said the Senate should concern itself with the prices students will have to pay for her classes.
THE FINANCE AND Auditing committee, which considers the Senate's own budget request, allocated $40,709 to the Senate; $42,234 was requested.
"I think that it's our first responsibility to provide this year's students with the best deal on ticket prices possible," Tasheff said.
Jill Grubaugh, Sports committee co-chairman, said Clyde Walker, athletic director, had said he had been disappointed with the loss last fall, but that it wouldn't affect KIAC.
When the Senate decided to cut KUAC last fall, Walker had said that ticket prices were too high.
A block allocation, which is given to many of the larger groups funded by Senate, guarantees a group a certain dollar amount of every paid student activity fee.
Sports also approved the $3,015 athletic allowance for the KU women's basketball team.
Randy McKernan, committee chairman, said the biggest cut resulted from the committee's recommendation to discontinue paying three senators who represent the Senate on the University Council. In the past, they were each paid $250.
THE STUDENT SERVICES Committee made its $23,300 budget recommendations for 10 student organizations in a five-hour meeting.
Fate of KU fiscal bill uncertain

TOPEKA- Action must be taken today by the Kansas House of Representatives if the University of Kansas 'fiscal 1977 appropriations are to be considered before the legislature's first adjournment, tentatively scheduled for this afternoon.
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said he hoped to learn more about the appropriations' status today after a Senate-House of committee discussion discussed the bill last night.
The recess probably will last one to two weeks.
Dykes again stressed that there was a close relationship between higher education funding and public school funding in the minds of some legislators.
AFTER LEAVING the conference committee, the bill will be sent to the House floor again where the full House will vote on it. The board must accept committee recommendations.
He said that if the spending limits of public schools were made lower than the 7 per cent limitation already approved, then KU's funding should remain stable at
If attempts to cut proposed salary or operating, expense increases for state schools are made, they probably were made. If efforts by the university, which hasn't yet released its report,

DYKES DESCRIBED the situation in the legislature as "unsettled" and said he hoped "that things would jell over there" after last night's meeting.
cigarette tax by 1 cent a pack, with proceedence paid to KU Medical cancer research.
**HUT**, HE SAID, if the public schools' limitation were cut to 5 per cent or 6 per cent, an effort would be made in the House to be under the Board of Regents, including KU.
The original version of the bill, written by the Senate Ways and Means Committee, earmarked revenue raised by the tax to be used by the Med Center. That provision was later removed, but might be added back to the bill in the House.
A further complication in the public school finance bill came yesterday when the county voted to send the bill to a new conference, which had recommended approval of a Senate version of the bill, but committee members reported that they were in disagreement.
The committee left $50.40 unallocated after it agreed on budgets for the student organizations. The money will serve as a contingency fund for Student Services
ANOTHER BELL that could have a major impact on the University was approved by the Board.
The committee appropriated $50 apiece to seven organizations to supplement costs of the project.
"We don't know what will happen,"
Does she say it all depends on what happens in the future?
IF THE PROVISION isn't added to the bill, it is possible that the tax funds might be used for other purposes.
Ed Rolfs, the committee member who proposed the funding, said the $5 should be allocated for phones funded by the Student Senate because the new KANS-A-N phone service would increase long-distance phone bills.
The bill is expected to raise about $2.95 million and increase the cigarette tax to 12 percent.

Board fines 7 males accused of streaking
Staff Writer
By BILL UYEKI
Discipline action was taken last night against seven males who allegedly participated in a streaking incident at Miller Scholarship hall last week.
Fines have been assessed against members of Pearson scholarship hall who allegedly streaked into Miller scholarship hall the morning of April 1, according to Jay Lindley, Manhattan senior and president of the All Scholarship Hall Council (ASHC).
The action was taken at a three-and-a-half hour opening of the All Scholarship Hall Judicial Hearing.
Seven males, allegedly all from Pearson, streaked into Miller Hall, Lindley said, despite the protests of Elizabeth Green, Miller resident director.
A Pearson resident who wished not to be identified said only six of the streakers were from Pearson Hall. One is from out-of-town, he said.
If the alleged streakers, who weren't identified, attend a Miller Hall meeting next week and apologize, they will be fired $300,000. The police say that for each alleged streaker who doesn't attend the meeting, he said. All monies from the fines will go to the ASHC treasury.
Daryl Webb, Hutchinson senior and proctor of Pearson, said that the streaking wasn't what Miller residents complained about.
"The point was that supposedly the streakers had entered forcibly," he said. Green, contacted at Miller Hall, said the streakers as a whole not to comment on the matter.
Lindley said that the judicial board reviewed cases for the ASHC, and that this was the first case in a long time that wasn't a contract dispute.
The board comprises one representative from each of the eight scholarship halls. It also has two advisers, who don't vote. They are Kirk McALEXander, assistant to the dean of men, and Julie Gordon, assistant dean of women.
"The judgment was made solely by students," Lindley said.
Two Pearson residents had admitted earlier that they had attempted to forcibly enter Miller Hall later the morning of April 1. The board recommended that contracts for the two residents not be renewed for next year, Lindley said.
Concentrated language programs rigorous, demanding for students

It's a little like going to boot camp.
That's how one University of Kansa language professor describes the intensive language program in his department. The programs are designed to fulfill the 16-credit hour requirement in one or two semesters, depending on the language.
The departments of French and Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, and German languages and literatures are those that will be offered language programs during the school year.
The department of Oriental languages and literatures offers an intensive program
THE PROGRAM was first conceived in the department of French and Italian in
"The program was created to give people an alternate chance in obtaining proficiency of the language so they could do it in one place, and then spread to it over four," he said.
He said it also allowed students, who hadn't had any French before coming to KU, to major in French without being limited to prerequisite coursework in the required French. He taught eight students from the intensive program became French majors each year.
spring 1972 to give students an alternative to the traditional four semesters of French, Robert Anderson, assistant professor of French, said yesterday.
Kansan wins All-American
"THE STUDENTS study together, work together and help each other so much that a teacher will never be left alone."
This is the 15th conventive semester that the Kansan has received an All-American rating, the highest given by the Associated Collegiate Press.
The University Daily Kansas has received an All-American rating from the Associated Collegiate Press for the fall semester of 1975.
The German curriculum includes two intensive courses, one in the fall semester, equivalent to two semesters of German, and a course in the spring which is comparable to three semesters, Helga Vigliano, German lecturer, said.
"We started with six people about five years ago. Now there are usually 18 to 30 students, though it varies from year to year," Anderson said.
To receive an All-American, a newspaper or magazine must win marks of distinction in four of the categories. news coverage and content editing, editorial leadership, physical appearance and photography. The
Enrollment has steadily increased in the intensive French program, he said, although there were fewer students enrolled this semester than in the fall.
It's been about four years since the intensive language program was developed in the department of Germanic languages and literatures.

Kansan won the mark of distinction in all categories except editorial leadership.
The Kansan was one of more than 2,000 college publications evaluated,12 per cent of which received the All-American rating.
In the German curriculum, as in other concentrated programs, the students focus on one subject which helps them learn the more quickly and efficiently, she said.
"WE STARTED the program because there seemed to be students who wished to become more immersed in the language, but I think next to being in "Carmen," she said.
*'Students get to know each other very well and there is a sort of group spirit among them.*
Katherine Harris, Overland Park sophomore, said she enrolled in the intensive course because she had heard it was the best way to learn German.
"I think that as far as the course goes, it is hard, but it's worth it," she said. "I'm not."
