Regents also approved final plans for a $11.5 million addition to Malott Hall.
KU officials asked the Regents Oct. 7 for authorization to request from the legislature $688,030 in revenue generated mostly from the higher than predicted enrollments from the last three semesters.

Regent Montgomery to quit board
John D. Montgomery of Junction City announced Friday after the Kansas Board of Regents meeting that he had asked Gov. Robert Bennett not to reappoint him to the board when his four-year term expires Dec. 31.
Montgomery is the second Regent in the last week to announce that he would not be on the board next year. Last Wednesday, Henry Bubb of Topeka announced that he would retire Nov. 1. Bubb's term was to expire Dec. 31.
Montgomery said his letter to Bennett was dated last Wednesday, Oct. 19.
But last Wednesday Montgomery told the Kansan that he would serve if reappointed.
MONTGOMERY, Democratic national committeeman for Kansas, said his decision not to seek reappointment was not made and he will not seek reappointment opened speculation that any of the three

Jackson also told the Kansan Wednesday that he would serve if rebounded by the Giants.
Jackson confirmed that statement last night.
Montgomery told the Regents that he wanted evidence of being named to the Board of Regents.
"I ENJOYED serving for four years and I would like for someone else to have the opportunity to serve." he said. "It's an bopor and I'd like it passed around."
In his letter to Bennett, Montgomery expressed concern that graduates of the state's universities have not received the basics of education.

"There are too many college graduates who have not have satisfactory use of reading, writing and communication."
Montgomery also urged Bennett to push
MONTGOMERY ALSO said he wanted to single out Chancellor Archie Dykes and his wife for their contributions to higher education. He called Dykes a "miracle man."
Bennett has not set dates for announcing his appointments to the three positions, but he has said that "there could be three new members of the Board of Recents."
Montgomery, editor and publisher of the Junction City Union, was appointed to the Regents in 1974 by Gov. Robert Docking. he served for six years as chairman of the State Highway Commission and was a member of the Kansas Turnpike Authority.
Committee proposes earlier spring enrollment
Ry BRIAN SETTLE

Students planning their winter vacation might have to make a change of plans if a motion approved Friday by the University Board was passed by SenXa and the University Council.
The proposal, which will be forwarded to SenEx for further approval, calls for spring 1978 enrollment to be held Wednesday af-
ternoon. On Thursday, Jan. 12, and Friday, Jan. 13.
The current enrollment schedule calls for enrollment to begin on Jan. 12 and to continue on Jan. 13 and Monday, Jan. 16. The next enrollment during the interweek weekend.
The new enrollment dates will require seniors to return a day earlier than预期.
The new schedule was devised in response to criticism from faculty that the current curriculum requires a student enrollment for adjustments in class schedules, would produce an onslaught of students enrolling on the final day and would require personal records and enrolment material.
The Jan. 18 starting date this spring is mandated by the Regents' calendar. The Regents have a policy of having common end dates for all Regents' schools.
ENROLLMENT SCHEDULE changes were made in the KU calendar last spring to comply with the Kansas Board of Regents' common calendar.

it was possible. We must before classes started in case of a problem.
SEMESTER BREAK this year will be shortened about one week because of the examinations ended Saturday, Dec. 18, and enrolment for the spring semester began Jan. 19, a break of 31 days. The day last of final examinations is Dec. 23, and the end of 25 days.
BECAUSE OF an error in previous calendar committee planning, KU has been in violation of the policy for the spring semester starting date since the policy was adopted in 1970. KU spring semesters have been held from March to June on the last three days of the preceding week.
In addition, Gil Dyck, dean of admissions and records, advised the calendar com- ments.
In a meeting Friday between the calendar committee and the Council of Deans, the groups unanimously approved changing the term "dispute" to a dispute across about which days should be held.
The Regents' calendar dictates that class start on Monday in the fall and on a Wednesday in the spring.
Paul Haack, associate dean of education.
"With a University Saturday morning enrolment, we wouldn't have to have a special enrolment just for our school," Haack said.
The proposal to change enrollment to end on Saturday morning, however, was discouraged by Dyck, who questioned the idea of enrolling up enrollment in a half day on Saturday.
strongly supported a movement to Jan. 12, Jan. 13 and Saturday morning, Jan. 14.
HAACK SAID the School of Education traditionally held a Saturday morning enrollment for public school teachers already conducting classes.
"We usually have 9,000 to 10,000 students enroll on the last day," Dyck说. "I doubt the possibilities of enroling that many students in a half day. I'm not going to tell students at five minutes after noon that enrollment is closed."
The possibility of a full day of enrollment on Saturday is impossible because of a basketball game Saturday night at Allen University, where KU and Oklahoma State University.
Seniors select 5 finalists in HOPE award balloting
The five finalists for the 1977 HOPE award were announced last night by Steve Owens, co-chairman of the HOPE award committee.
Dyck, who moved that the schedule be changed to start on Wednesday afternoon, said enrolment always had ended with a full day before this year.
The five finalists are: William Balfour, professor of physiology and cell biology; Malcolm R. Burns, assistant professor of economics; Allan J. Cigler, associate professor of political science; D. Jugeheneir, associate professor of journalism, and J. Hammond McNish, adjunct professor of business.

Committee taps Senate reserves
The Student Senate Fall Budget Committee completed deliberations last night for supplementary allocations but was forced to ask StudEx to release money from a controlled reserve fund to cover committee recommendations.
The winner will be announced Nov. 19 at halftime of the Kansas-Missouri football game.

The committee voted to allocate $1,244.87 more than the amount available in unallocated funds, but StudEx voted later last night to transfer $6,000 from the controlled reserve fund to supplement the unallocated fund.

Although the budget committee needed only enough money transferred from the controlled reserve fund to compensate the amount not available in unallocated funds, StudiEVs voted to free $0,000 in case the money was used in the proposed supplementary budget.

Kansas Environmental Services received $495 last night, compared with an initial allocation of $395. Committee members said they increased the allocation because the service could become a vital service if it had more advertising.

Bergland says food prices to rise
WASHINGTON - Agriculture Secretary Bob Bergland said yesterday that he expected consumer food prices, especially those of convenience foods, to rise 78 per cent next year because of higher processing, transportation and marketing costs—but that the farmer would not be getting a larger profit.
He said a strike threatened by farmers was only an attempt to call national attention to their serious economic problems.

Additional Korea testimon sought
WASHINGTON—The Justice Department's hopes of cracking the Korean influence-buying scandal now rest in resurging two defendants to become lawyers for Mr. Chen.
The refusal of Tongus庙 cooperate means investigators must look to his accused co-conspirators-former Rep. Richard Hanna, D-Calfi, and Korean-born businessman Hancho Kim-to explain to what extent payoffs actually reached public figures and got the money.
Investigators also will continue to release documents embarrassing to the Seoul government in an effort to prod it into providing access to Park and other information, the sources said. The Seoul regime denies being involved in the scheme to prevent cuts in U.S. aid to Korea by lavishing gifts on congressmen.
Roman terrorists avenge prisoners
ROME-Left-wing extremists gunned down a Milan city councilman yesterday and critically wounded a policeman in a bombing in the northern city of Brescia during the sixth day of attacks on German property throughout Italy, police said.
A member of the Red Brigades urban guerrilla group who claimed credit for the attacks said they were intended to avenge the guerrillas' West German comrades—political prisoners Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin, and Jan-Carl-Rashe—who committed suicide in German prison cells last Tuesday.
A series of firebomb袭击 in a number of other cities damaged German property, and three masked men bombed and destroyed the car of a West German soldier.
