draw federal funds and recognition to KU. Ten of the 40 faculty members who left last year went to universities offering better salaries, Dykes said. Six of the 40 were terminated and three are continuing their education, he said.
The University is requesting new classified positions (one for every three faculty members) and new positions. If this request isn't met, Dykes said, professionals would have to be used instead of classified personnel to do the job. But such a change which would create a large increase in cost.
A REQUEST for a 12-percent increase in other operating expenditures (OEE) was called by Dykes as the University's "most critical request, next to the faculty salaries increase." OEE represents all University expenditures except salaries.
The request is needed to counter the University's net loss in purchasing power in the four years, Dykes said. The wholesale rate was 8.4 percent in those four years, but the University has received only a 27.4-percent increase in appropriations during the same period.
DYKES SAID funding for increased credit hours taught during the summer hadn't been met. During the summer session of fiscal 1973, the University offered 30,728 credit hours. In fiscal 1977, 39,500 summer credit hours will be offered.
"The summer session is an important part of the University's total education." "Dykes said. "I see no reason why it isn't supported by the rest of the year."
Dykes urged consideration of an additional $85,533 in OEE for the University's summer session. The University has received funding to cover only the rise in teaching costs for increased summer enrollment. he said.
Dykes asked for $362,703 in supplemental funding for increased cost of utilities in fiscal 1978. The supplemental funding is Dykes' responsibility. University's current resources aren't drained.
Bennett earlier had recommended the deletion of a $70,498 request for seasonal and temporary custodial salaries, which Dykes urged be reinstated in the budget.
DYKES ALSO asked authorization to spend additional fees incurred from an unexpected enrollment increase last fall. More than 1,000 full-time equivalent students enrolled in the fall 1975 semester, than were anticipated in the budget.
"The campus is kept attractive by the use of seasonal help." Dykes said. "To maintain the University's facilities, the budget request should be restored."
An additional $23,455 for student help was requested by the Chancellor because "we like to encourage the utilization of students."
MINIMUM WAGE FOR the University is now $2.10, but is scheduled to go to $2.30 on Jan. 1, 1977. The University's request would not meet this minimum wage increase.

Dykes pointed to the committee the University's request to keep shrinkage rates at two per cent for classified and unclassified employees. Bennett has recommended a five-per-cent shrinkage rate for classified employs.
Shrinkage is a figure representing the amount of money not used when positions remain vacant because of employee deaths, or because of an unpaid shrinkage rate is set, the number of
authorized positions that must be kept vacant increases or the period of time that a position is held.
A five-per-cent shrinkage rate would have to be artificially generated by keeping positions open, Dykes said. A two-per-cent increase can be met by normal turnover, he said.
SHANKEL SAID. "All studies indicate we are understaffed in buildings and grounds. Our request for additional personnel was not recommended by the Governor, and he also proposes to take our seasonal help and raise the shrinkage rate to five per cent.
"We are being hit from four or five different directions at the same time."
