Despite persistent rumors to the contrary, State Rep. John Carlin last week denied that he had set his sights on the Kansas governor's office.
"I'm still thinking seriously about my job as Speaker of the House," Carl said, "and I'll be thinking about that job for another $3/2 weeks."
Carlin said he would not make any announcement about his plans for the November election until the current legislative session had met. He said he will be completed in early April, there is a short "veto" session" at which the Legislature reconvenes to take

"I think the veto session will be held around April 24, 25, or 30," Carlin said, "but those dates are tentative. So I won't make any announcement until early May."

Carlin said he thought the House would act favorably on the appropriation of money for Watson Library. The University budget has not yet been considered by the House.
"I don't want to stop the flexibility of the House Ways and Means Committee," Carlin said, "but I can assure you that, in terms of support from KU students and alums, the need for the appropriation has been made apparent."
However, Carlin was not as supportive of plans to build a new field house at Kansas State University. A recent student referendum on the question failed to generate sufficient interest and a second referendum may be scheduled.
"A NEW FIELD house for KState wouldn't run through here with rapid support." Carlin said. "The referendum is a critical part of the package."
Carlin responded to questions about the Wall Creek nuclear power plant in Washington.
Power and Light, one of the companies involved in the construction of the Wolf Creek plant, had made plans to sell some of the energy generated there to out-of-state concerns has prompted formation of a investigative committee in the Legislature.
"Several questions have been raised about the Wolf Creek facility," Carlin said. "It would have been irresponsible for us not to hire a committee to investigate those questions."
A strong supporter of the American Agriculture Movement, Carlin said he still thought the movement had been good for farmers.
it is good for the country," he said. "People are much better informed about the farmers' problems now than they were before the action began."
FARM STRIKE leaders recently have said that farmers in western Kansas would soon begin plowing under a portion of their wheat crop each week until their demands were met. Carlin said he could support that action.
"Plowing under is like not planting," he said. "It brings the supply more into balance with demands and prices. The problem is getting everyone to participate. But this does communicate the farmers' concern to people throughout the country."
"Agriculture is our No. 1 industry," he said. "If agriculture is affected, the country will suffer."
Carlin said the farmers' problems were everyone's problems.
"The changes must be reasonable, but there's no question—something needs to be done."
Funds for fee waiver pay increase partly cut
By DIRCK STEIMEL
Staff Writer
The graduate student fee waiver and a pay increase for University of Kansas student employees both received partial pay increases for the Kansas Senate committee action last week.
The Senate Ways and Means Committee finished its recommendations on the KU fiscal 1979 budget last week. Action by the Senate on the budget is expected this week.
Graduate teaching assistants would be required to pay 40 percent of their tuition costs under the committee proposal instead of the traditional $25 per student and recommended by Gov. Robert F. Bennett.
The proposed student employee wage increase was cut to 7 percent instead of the 10 percent.
THE TOTAL fee waiver for graduate students was requested to aid in writing the course.
KU requested the 15 percent increase to raise student employee wages from $2.65 an hour to $2.90 an hour, which is the new federal minimum wage, by Jan. 1, 1979.
Recommended by the ways and means committee were requests for $291,000 for additional stacks in Watson and Spencer libraries, roof repairs for Bailey Hall and the KU Printing Service building, $75,330 to raise the number of KU student employees
and $35,234 to expand KU internal audit operations.
Seven percent increases in faculty salary and general operating expenses, $374,118.8l
replace worn equipment and $100,000 for a computer library catalog system were recommended by the committee the previous week.
