Budget gives more to women athletes
By MELISSA THOMPSON
Staff Writer
Women's athletics officials at the University of Kansas said yesterday that they were pleased with Gov. Robert Bennett's proposed allocation of $85,115 to their department, but said that they wished the amount could have been larger.
Marian Washington, director of women's athletics, said Bennett's tentative allocation was a positive indication of the state's attitudes toward women's sports but the money would not significantly alter the department's programs.
"It's not much of an increase," she said. It is simply to extend what we have and not extend the cost.
The women's department currently offers a program of ten sports to KU women. Pat Collins, administrative assistant in support would be added if the governor's allocation was approved. However, coaching positions that are now part time would be increased to
WASHINGTON SAID about $45,000 of the proposed allocation would merely be replacement funds for money that was provided in the past by the Student Senate. Car was the first year that the Senate refused any major funding for women's sports.
In the fall supplementary budget hearings, the Senate allocated about $4,500 to the women's field hockey team for a trip to a regional tournament.
"I don't feel one or two avenues of funding are going to be adequate," Washington said.
She said she was optimistic about the legislators' approval of the budget and mentioned the possibility of seeking funds from other sources to supplement any state monies.
ONE LEGISLATOR shared Washington's optimum about the passage of the proposed law.
The legislator, State Rep. Mike Glover, D-Dawrence, said the women's program at KU had recently improved and such improvements would tend to make legislators more positive about approving the allocation.
"I don't think the consciousness is too great in this area." Glover said.
He said, however, that there would not be much possibility of any increase in the price.
Glover said federal regulations requiring certain funding of programs sometimes are not being made and referred to the Title IX laws that require equal funding in both women and women's education.
Glover said he thought it was the responsibility of the state to support athletics at universities and said he did notize the Senate for withdrawing funding.
"I think there is an appreciation among legislators for students" not having to come up with money for this thing and that," Glover said.
He mentioned the possibility of an additional funding source for sports programs because he had never worked later in the year. He said State Sen. Dorn Everett, R-Manhattan, was planning to introduce a bill that would impose a tax on universities and increase the revenues to university sports programs.
Everett was unavailable to discuss his bill.
Eight enter as candidates for class, Senate offices
Only eight students have filed to enter the spring race for Student Senate positions, but a Senate official said yesterday that most candidates probably would wait until the filing deadlines approach to announce their intentions.

The filing deadline for the presidential and vice presidential race is Jan. 25, and the deadline for class officer positions and Senate seats is Feb. 1.
and present a petition with 500 student signatures.
Two of the candidates have entered the race for student body president and vice president. The students, Mike Harper, Lawrence junior, and Reggie Robinson, Salina junior, filed as a team last November.
PRESIDENTIAL or vice presidential candidates who have previously been in the Senate must pay a $3 filing fee. Candidates with no Senate experience must pay the fee
LEBEN SAID candidates who had not previously held Senate seats were required to file the petition to indicate they had a constituency.
Classification:
Students filing for class officer positions or for Senate seats must pay 83 or present a petition with 50 student signatures.
Six other students have filed as a coalition for class officer positions. The group's name is the School Resource Council.
THE SIX coallition members and their positions are Ralph Munyan, Shawnee Mission junior, senior class president; Gretchen Schmitt, Kansas City, Mo., junior, senior class secretary; Paul Russell, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, junior class president; Howard Overland Park, Tex.; John Kelley, Weimar, Dallas sophomore, junior class secretary; and Sally Mae, Lawrence sophomore, junior class treasurer.

Legislators back library funding
Staff Writer
By MARY ANNE OLIVAR
There is some optimism among state legislators that Gov. Robert F. Bennett's $8.2 million proposal for the renovation of his library will be passed by the Legislature.
State Rep. Lloyd Burzil, R-Lawrence, said yesterday that he had talked to some fellow legislators who said they thought that the proposal would pass.
Although the University of Kansas would use $500,000 of the $6.2 million this year for planning the renovation, Ranz said he was satisfied with the allocation.
Jim Ranz, dean of libraries, said yesterday that if the Legislature approved Bennett's recommendation, Watson Library would be renovated by the spring of 1881.
The $2.2 million recommendation came as a surprise to Ranz because this year KU had asked for only $800,000 for planning the new campus and would cover all the costs for Watson's renovation.
According to Ranz, the renovation would start in the summer of 1979.
The renovation plan includes removal of interior walls, which would allow more efficient use of library space; proper heating and air conditioning of the building

Detective Larry Ewing said yesterday that money totaling $34 had been taken from seven residence hall rooms when the hall was closed between Dec. 24 and Jan. 10.
Evinger said a checkbook also had been taken from one of the rooms but that its owner had called the bank and payments on the account had been stopped.

State Rep. Lloyd Buzii, R-Lawrence, said, "If some legislators oppose the recommendation, I'll load them into my car and drive them to the library. After 10 minutes they'll leave."

"Right now the library is so grim that students avoid it and I think that's very sad," he said. "But I think that with a good architecture and adequate funding, the library is in good shape and compare favorably with those of other Big Eight schools."

KU police are investigating the thefts and are interviewing all persons who had access to Oliver Hall during semester break, he said.
"One usually asks for planning money for the first two years," he said. "The next years you asked for construction money. He proposed the lump sum for this year."
"The need for Watson's renovation is so paramount, but it can't see that we can do this without it."
HOWEVER, THE AMOUNT of money proposed does not seem to be a problem for them.
According to Buzzi, other legislative concerns such as a proposed medium security pentagon and economic concern should have no effect on KU's allocations.
Commenting on the opposition to the budget a year ago, Buzii said, "Last year's attitudes were really terrible. This year we have made us stronger. We are really back to supporting education."
The governor also proposed $291,200 for shelves and lighting the basements of Spencer and Watson libraries and $100,000 for a computer cataloging system.
