Regents request scholarship funds
By Doug Pacey

Kansas staff writer
TOPEKA — The Board of Regents told the Legislature yesterday it wanted an additional $1 million for scholarships and grants.
Kim Wilcox, executive director for the Regents, said that the board didn't want to seem greedy and that it was grateful for what it had been given in such a tight budget year. However, more financial aid was needed partly because of the increase in tuition costs for Regents institutions, Wilcox said.
The money would add to the
Comprehensive Grant Program and the State Scholarship Program. The CGP helps students with financial need, as demonstrated in the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, while the SSP has an emphasis on academics, Wilcox said.
Korb Maxwell, student body president, attended the briefing and said that he thought the $1 million request was not enough.
"The Board of Regents requested $1 million, and the Governor didn't meet that request in his budget," he said. "But I think after the tuition increase, we need more than that so our poorest students can afford to go to school."
Maxwell said that he thought

the Legislature was aware of the students' displeasure with the tuition increases, too.
"I think that the students' pain is resonating in the Legislature," he said. "The Legislature feels what we want, and I think they
want to help."
State Rep. Ralph Tanner, R-Baldwin, said that he had received questions and concerns from students in the Regents system about tuition increases and that he had asked Wilcox if the request for more financial aid was an attempt to offset the increases.
Wilcox said that the request for more funds was because of raised tuition, but to a point. The tuition increase also reflected a long-term, under-funding of the Regents, he said.
Maxwell said he doubted any of the tuition increases would be repealed by the board if the Regents' $1 million request was denied.
Anschutz Library leaks to be repaired soon
By Jim O'Malley writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Students doing research in Anschutz Library may not need umbrellas, but a leaky roof has plagued the building for about 10 years. Officials say repairs should start soon, but extensive repairs will have to wait.
"It's on the list, but not on the short list," said Larry Rawlins, assistant director of Facilities Operations. "We're going to Band-Aid it."
Water damage is visible on the third floor where the south wall joins the ceiling. Brown stains mark the white plaster, and discolored fabric hangs down as if it has been peeled away from the wall.
On the fourth floor, plastic tarps hang over shelves that hold new scientific journals. A large irregular brown water mark stains the ceiling above the tarps.
The leaks began shortly after the library opened in 1989, said Judith Emde, science librarian.
Long-range plans include
replacement of the flat section of the roof, said James Modig, director of Design and construction management. He said that although the University still had money from Kansas' Crumbling Classrooms program, many other buildings were competing for the funds.
Mel DeSart, coordinator for science and engineering resources and services, has worked in Anschutz for a year and a half. He said he had seen water dripping in the library and that library staff has had to deploy trash cans to catch the drins.
DeSart said that once or twice after rainstorms, he climbed on a barrel and pushed up on the plastic tarps, draining off a couple of gallons of water in the process.
But DeSart said he was not aware of any serious water damage to books and journals in Anschutz.
"That may be because of the rather ugly measures we have taken to prevent damage." he said.
Rawlings said water leaked in
The roof of Anschutz Library leaks water, and journals must be covered with plastic tarps to keep them dry. Minor repairs will begin soon, although extensive work will have to wait.

used to weatherproof the joints of the roof, he said.
The flat center portion of the roof needs repair, too. DeSart said that after Facilities Operations had the roof evaluated, library officials were told that the plastic liner under the center of the roof was rotten.
Mark Reiske, production manager for Design and Construction Management, said the projected cost for repairing the gutters and flat section of the roof was $89,000. That estimate did not include the cost of repairing the damage inside the library. Reiske said it was difficult to estimate the cost until workers could see the extent of the damage.
Although the leaks have not damaged Anschutz's books, the potential risk is serious. DeSart said it was expensive to freezefry books and that dampness bred mildew, which is hard to eliminate once starts growing.
"The last thing a library wants to see is water," he said. "It's even worse than fire."
