Spiraling costs hit Senate budget
By MARTISCHILLER
Rising costs for Student Senate supplies and services have increased the annual Senate budget 26.5 per cent during the past two fiscal years.
In fiscal 1975, the Senate spent $13,410 for supplies, capital equipment, rent, utilities and travel. A total of $15,450 was allocated to the Senate in fiscal 1978, an increase of $2,940.
The proposed budget for fiscal 1977 is $18,249, which would increase Senate office spending by 15.3 per cent, or $2,799 more than the budget of the 1976 fiscal year.
One of the largest proposed increases would be in traveling expenses. The Senate is spending $200 for travel this year, but has promised spending $600 next year.
JOHN HOUSE, Senate treasurer, said the increase was necessary because the student body president had become a member of an organization that is not part of the Advisory council is made up of the student body presidents of the six state institutions and its members. The department was asked to provide advice, he said.
The Senate spent $100 on travel expenses last year.
Rent and telephone bills are constantly increasing. Since the 1975 budget was cut, phone and Internet access padded into three more offices. They now occupy five offices in the Kansas Union.
The Kansas University Memorial Corporation Board sets the rent for the offices. The Senate paid $350 for rent in 1975, and in 1976 its rent was $850. In 1977, the rent will be raised to $800.

The student groups had also charged that Horne had said all Title IX opinions she expressed came from the chancellor's office.
Davis said, "Clearly it's one of the responsibilities of the (dean of women's) office to advise the organizations. I would hope, however, that the office renders opinions that they would check with me.
"I think if it's possible to postpone the decision (whether to go coed) that it is certainly desirable. If any group feels that they have to know now, after counsel with Vice Chancellor Balfour, I can make a decision."
Horne said, "if that letter (Dykes) hadn't even been written, it wouldn't have had any influence. The issue is both legal and philosophical. In my opinion, it seems to some extent now that single-sex honoraries must go coed."
Dean ...
Steve Brown, member of Sachem, said of the dean of women's office, "The way they talked about it, it was like destiny—the way it's going to have to be. They said the governance system was going to make us go coed."
Sachsen recently issued a resolution to remain a men's society, which called for a definition of equal opportunity for both sexes in the consideration of honorary titles.
Bruce Woner, Sachem member, said,
"We have a responsibility to a lot of people.
It would be better to bury Sachem rather
than wash its tradition out in a merger."
Patton said Title IX guidelines have been in effect since July 1975 and that compliance has to be completed by July. KU's review committee is determining necessary compliance in both athletic and non-athletic areas she said. Its report is due in early March.

TELEPHONES in the new offices, in addition to increased service and long distance rates, have caused Senate phone bills to increase substantially. In 1975, the rate for Senate phone services; and in 1976, it will pay $1,000. The costimated cost of the 177 phone bill is $1,500.

The Senate spent $9,000 last year for office supplies, printing expenses, advertising and mailing. The increase will be $7,000 but will increase in 1977 to $10,099.

PHOTOCPY costs also will increase next year. This is the first year that the Senate office has had a photocopy machine, which costs $1,000 to rent, House said. Next year's rent will be raised to $1,400 by the company that owns the machine, he said.
Senate won't spend any more for advertising in 1977, he said.
Capital equipment, such as typewriters and office machines, are still being purchased by the Senate office. Last year, the Senate spent $120 to buy a postage meter. The Senate also spent $800 on electric typewriter. Next year's proposed allocation is $500, and Ed Rollos, student
This year, the Senate is spending $1,800 for supplies and printing and $1,400 for publicity. No increase in these figures were proposed for 1977.
THE COST of the spring Senate elections is also slowly increasing. In 1975, the Senate spent $1,000 for election supplies and $1,200 to publicize election information.
The final budget for 1977 will be approved after budget hearings conducted by the board.
