The Kansas Development Committee received background information Saturday on the University of Kansas' fiscal 1977 budget requests from KU administrators.
According to Dick Wintermute, director of the alumni association, members of the development committee work with students to gain better financial support for KU.
Del Shanker, executive vice chancellor,
said, "We wanted to give them some information to take back to their communities so they would have answers to their legislator's questions concerning KU budget requests."
Red Hoggan, Prairie Village committee member, said the success of the committee depended on the success of reaching legislators on an individual, personal basis.
"The guys that do well for KU are the players that played football together," he said.
'77 budget requests given
"They have a personal reason to see KU meet its goals."
When dealing with facts, cochairman George Nettles said, the committee had to reach legislators on a "one to one" basis. He said it would be difficult to reach legislators through impersonal, superficial approaches.

Clement Hall, Coffeyville member, said that the purpose of the annual development committee meeting was to continue and increase sunport.
Members try to get their own information about budgets so they can talk intelligently with managers.
"The academic community is a little world of its own." he said.
According to Hall, the development
committee tries to take information about the "little world" out to the people of the city.
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said the support needed this year would enable KU to catch up to other leading Midwestern academic institutions.
He said there were 14 "peer institutions" in the Midwest whose average financial resources were less than $250,000.
He said the budget increases for KU only enable KU to catch up, not to keep manpower.
Dykes said KU had reached the third year of a three year budget nonqual
One area of the proposed budget is a 10 per cent faculty salary increase. In the previous two years, the requested increases have been granted, Dykes said. Governor Robert B. Bennett will recommend the state to provide adequate legislature would sustain it is still unclear.
Another area of the proposal is a 12 per
cent increase in other operating expenditures, Dykes said. The increased expenditures are for supplies and materials needed to operate the University.
He said wages for carpenters, custodians, electricians and laborers in the Lawrence area were higher in 1794 than KU wages in 1975. In 1794 the hourly Lawrence wage rate for electricians was about $4.16. In 1976 the KU wage rate for electricians was about $3.30.
Student government leaders meet
About 30 student government leaders from Big Eight schools parted ways yesterday after meeting here to discuss a pair of student concerns.
A third matter of importance, Dykes said, was the unexpected enrollment growth of KU in 1975. He said that because of the high enrollment, a budget increase would be needed to support the large numbers of students.
The conference drew representatives from the University of Minnesota Minneapolis and seven of the Big Eight schools. Oklahoma State University didn't attend.
Red Rolfs, student body president, said yesterday that the delegates discussed the need for government-university relations and campus transportation systems. According to Rolfs, there will be another similar event the time and place are still undetermined.
At the conference, two representatives from the University of Minnesota presented information on the proposed Student Land Grant Colleges and Universities.
"Everybody that attended thought it was a worthwhile thing and said they wanted to attend next year," he said. "There really existed ideas and exchange of ideas between schools."
Rolfs said they presented an alternative to the National Student Association (NSA), a group of student leaders.
of higher learning. KU doesn't belong to NSA.
Rolfa said he thought NSA represented a challenge for institutions and that was even worse.
"For example, private schools aren't too interested in the public funding of higher education."
A meeting to discuss the proposal will be held in March 1976, he said.
KU might be interested in the organization if it stayed out of lobbying and politics and acted instead as a clearninghouse for information, Rofls said.
Mary Lou Reece, student body vice president, said that the meeting provided much information about the way other Big Eight schools operated, but said that she wasn't sure how the information could be used by the student senate.
KU student senators who attended the meeting said they were pleased with the results.
Kevin Flynn, student senator, said KU gave the other schools helpful ideas on a topic.
KU has the biggest transporation
KYU has the least stock孙
just have a shuttle system. They don't have
one that covers the whole city."
Woner said the number of representatives in the senates ranged from 20 at University of Colorado to 250 members at the University of Missouri (Columbia).
Rolfs said the representatives continued to discuss prevalent concerns after the conference had officially adjourned Saturday.
Bruce Woner, StudEx chairman, said he was impressed by the size of some books.
"I was really pleased with it (the conference)," he said. "We got a lot of good ideas. I just hope we can do something with them."
