A new fieldhouse is not a necessity for KU, Walker said, because a $1-million dollar renovation has just been completed on Allen Field House.
THE PROBLEM at KU, Walker said, was the need for additional space for physical education classes and unorganized recreation so that students would be able to interlockideate.
--student ticket surcharges to fund capital improvements like the current renovation of the library.
"Everybody is really on top of each other now," Walker said, "and for the first time our facilities are badly overtaxed. I'm afraid somethine may have to go."
Another of Everett's goals in proposing the cigarette tax was to avoid the use of
Walker said that surcharges on student and general public tickets, which were being used to raise the $1.8 million to cover construction costs, are only way to complete the necessary project.
"We had to renovate the stadium soon, because the original concrete wouldn't have held out much longer." Walker said. "We needed to build a massiveaster in the stadium the past few years."
EVERETT SAID the increased funding to athletic departments might help universities get more students in.
The idea for the cigarette tax, Everett said, came from a similar tax on cigarettes in Nebraska, which was used to fund construction of a new fieldhouse.
teams. He said he wanted to avoid another incident like the 1970 airplane crash in which several members of the Whitcha State football team were killed.
The Nebraska field house was paid off in 1970 and the tax is not being used for other years and is not being paid off.
Everett said earlier that he was considering lowering the tax to three cents a package because he was afraid the five-cent tax would raise too much money.
Committees hear Regents' budget

THE SENATE WAYS and Means Committee expects to take up the individual University budget later this week in subcommittees.

Railroad land sought by bike club
The path would be built on right-of-way being abandoned by the Union Pacific Railroad. The 13-mile-long, 100-foot-wide route was the longest railroad rule south of Tamaquan to Lawrence.
Under federal law, abandoned railroad land goes to owners of land adjacent to the railroad without cost. However, those who wish to continue using the right-of-way for transportation or environmentalists who wish to preserve the land have first claim to
State Sen. Arnold Berman, D-Lawrence, said the joint committee hearings went as usual. The actual work, Berman said, is done mainly in individual university subcommittees because the entire Regent's budget is so complex.
Club members last night expressed interest in both creating a bike path and preserving the land. The motion they passed seeks first to extend the deadline set by the Union Pacific for requests for the land. The deadline is March 6.
THE MOTION also includes a pledge to approach the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission, the Lawrence City Commission and area state legislators to seek support for creating the path. Members said support by these groups would

J. M. JACK, one of the businessmen, said that if the businessman bought the tracks, he would be responsible for the owners or environmentalists when the new owners were finished with it. He said he wanted to keep the railroad open to ship products to and from a grain elevator he
The bike club decided to seek the planning commission's support because plans for a bike path along the Kansas River levee were included in the commission's Plan 95, a 20-year comprehensive planning guide for Lawrence. The proposed Lawrence to roadpath path could connect with the levee path, which will extend to the city limits.
The club's plans for a path on the railroad right-of-way may be in vain, however. The Tonganoxie City Council adopted a plan to establish a Tonganoxie business person to wish to buy
