Budget . . .
From page one
KU had placed additional classified positions high on its priority list after being criticized for a lack of clerical and maintenance personnel.
For the Med Center, the committee compromised on the addition of faculty for the School of Nursing by agreeing on 5.8 new positions.
The new positions had been requested to allow increased undergraduate and graduate enrollment, and to provide for a diploma nursing to obtain baccalaureate.
The Senate had added 12.6 unclassified positions to the House's budget, which included no new nursing school faculty.
The conference committee agreed to the Senate's recommendation for 1.3 new classified employees for the nursery school
In other KU budget actions, the committee followed the Senate's recommendation to add 1.5 positions for the Center for Energy Research and Development.
House and Senate Committee members found middle ground on appropriations for funds for other operating expenses for the construction and repair of instructional equipment.
The committee reduced by $90,000 a
Senate recommendation of $365,000 for the equipment.
The committee also approved the Senate's decision to allow KU to use $28,000 it received from the university for a scholarship hall steam lines as a supplement to $120,000 recommended by the committee.
The committee also followed the Senate's recommendation to allow KU to spend an unbudgeted $78,925 it received this year and than-expected enrolment.
In the area of capital improvements, the committee added a $129,000 preliminary appropriation for renovation to a separate multi-year appropriation bill that has yet to receive approval.
Also added to the bill, which includes a $19,000 reimbursement for $319,000 for replacement of the Murphy Hall stage lighting system and $4.6 million for construction of a new medical library at the Medical Library.
The committee reached a compromise on the addition of additional residency positions at the Med Center, providing for the need to the Senate's recommendation of 13.
KU Credit Union to offer checks
From page one
The surveys were sent to 5,000 KU teachers, students and staff members and 3,000 were returned.
Tubas . . .
The second time, the crowd was more enthusiastic.
don't worry. I may be crazy, but I think I play the tuba pretty well. You don't control air, you let it control you."
"Now, if you can say 'Ho' in reverse, you've got it," Thornton said. "That's the way to take a breath."

The EXPANDACHECH service offers no-charge checking and pays interest on customers' average daily balance. Price said the interest was usually 3 percent.
Thornton had the crowd bellow, "Ho, ho, ho." After a lackluster response, he shouted "Come on, tuba players!" You know what Santa Claus sounds like.
THE ONLY drawback to the EX-
Thornton stressed the need to let the body take care of itself, and let the mind play the music.
The KU Credit Union will be starting a new service for its customers called EXPANDCHECK. Janet Price, manager of the Credit Union, said last week.

"We're going to put the results of the survey into a computer this week to tabulate the results," she said. "But just by looking at the numbers, you can find two negative relations to the service."
"How about some Zen tuba philosophy?" he said. "The more you get your air going, the more the air gets you going. The less you think about it, the better off you are."
EXPANDCHECK, which is equivalent to a checking account at a commercial bank, received an overwhelmingly positive response in a recent survey. Price said. A pilot program for the service will definitely be carried, she said, but she did not know when.
Thornton said another learning technique was to imitate the great tuba players.
PANDACHECK might be that customers do not receive the canceled checks, Price said. The original checks are microformatted and customers receive a carbon copy of each check.
"Imitation is great," he said. "Have you ever seen the Monte Python film where God gave the camera to the tuba player who comes out of the clouds and he's a conglomeration of Jacobs and Bishop McQuillan."
The Credit Union is also looking for another office to expand its service area, Price said. The office is now in 101 Carruth-O'Leary Hall.
"We would prefer to build a new office, but we are willing to remodel an old one," she said. "But we definitely need to expand. We are armout at armout here."
HOURS OF service will also be increased. Price said
A monthly statement sent to the customers tells the number and amount of each check in numerical order and the order in which they were cleared.
"The people don't get the original copies of the "cake"acks they cost them, and print them from the paper," the Priest said. "It is the way all banks will probably do their statements in the future because it is so expensive."
"Listen to that great tuba player in the sky. You've got everything stored in your head—use it."
"Oh, and read Zen and the Art of Archery," he said. "It says that you don't shoot the arrow, the arrow lets itself go. It talks about breathing, too."
NOT MUCH literature is available on tuba technique, he said. He recommended that young tubists read the Inner Game of Tuba and learn how to do anything you want to do better.
"Otherwise, read the funny papers. There's just not that much to read."
Thornton said he knew a lot of tubists who used the tuba to gain an aesthetic fulfillment lacking in their professional lives.

"There's some kind of inner truth that comes out in playing a bass instrument," he said. "You can really get hooked up to another world through bass notes."
AS A LAST bit of advice, Thorton told the young tubists that if they don't enjoy playing the tuba, they should quit.
"When I wake up in the morning, I can't wait to play the tuba," he said. "It's great. And I get paid for it, too."
"Be positive about yourself, and don't tell anybody tell you that tuba players are second-rate musicians, because they're not."
Some Iranian students may be left financially handcuffed and be forced to leave the United States as a result of a diplomatic settlement. Department spokesman said yesterday.
Future of KU Iranians uncertain
BY GRANT OVERSTAKE Staff Reporter
The spokesman, Merton Bland, said it was too hard for him to learn that Iranian students in the United States to process formal papers or receive money to finish their education because of Carter's policies.
Carter also said Iranian diplomats had until midnight tonight to leave the United States. He cut off virtually all trade between the two nations. He also said all visas issued to Iranians have been declared invalid, effective immediately, and no visas would be issued or renewed "except for complying with special conditions or where the national interest requires."

Clark College was decided. Clark
College director of foreign student
services. Coa said he was unsure about
whether Carter's ban applied to Iranians
or American students.
"If they just mean visas and the student isn't planning on leaving, I don't see that as much of a problem." Coa said. "If they mean the 1-44 then there's a problem." I can't tell. Many people confuse a visa with the other documents which are not visas.
BUT LAND, a press officer for a special Iran Working Group within the State Department, said the president was under attack and that he just a permit to enter the country, he said.
"If they're here they're home free," Bland said. "If they're not here they are out of luck. It's that simile."
"All of the Iranian students who visited Canada during their spring vacations will not be allowed to come back in. And all of these students who were planning to bring their brother or mother in from Iran are out and they don't have money, they're safe."
But Iranians who need cash will have a progressively more difficult time, Bland said.
"Under the normal provisions, Iranians
who are here as students are not allowed to work," he said. "So we'll assume that many of them will have to face up to leaving the university for education. I don't have finishing with their education."
SOME IRANIAN students have been receiving as much as $3,000 a month from the Iranian government but that money will be spent in other ways, said, as will passovers out of the country.
Although Carter has ordered all Iranian diplomats out of the country, a "caretaker" diploma from Iran will be allowed to set up in the embassy's ambassade in Washington, Blain said.
"This sort of thing goes on all the time," he said. "One Iranian will probably be left on a caraidetie. We don't know which one to choose, and should be some envelopment on that soon."
"As far as I know there has been no reaction from Iran to the president's announcement. What they will do about their affairs is up to them."
"They won't need passports until they're ready to leave and at that time they can go back. They'll probably do that one person to assume the responsibility for the Iranian interests in the United States."
Board approves higher bus fares
By SUSAN SCHOENMAKER
Staff Renorter
"KU on Wheels," the campus bus system, says. "The brakes, the flattening and the energy crush have put the brakes on program expansion. Instead, an across the board price increase is probably not going to happen."
The Student Senate Transportation Board approved a fare increase for next year from 25 cents to 35 cents, a semester bus pass increase from $25 to $10 and a transportation privilege fee increase from $8 to $12. The student fee that is collected at enrollment.
Fuel prices, which rose 22 percent between September and March figured heavily in the calculations of the board at its meeting last week.
"Right now it is just ip anduck," Steve McMurry, board chairman, said. "It is going to be really close. We just need to look for ways to reconcile."
According to board estimates, "KU on Wheels" will need an additional $00,173 to maintain its current services next year. The
"KU on Wheels" price increase must be approved by the full Student Senate and the administration before it can go into effect next year.
"Everybody just has to keep drawing back a bit," Dana Ogle, president of the Lawrence Bus Company, said. "We have to watch our nickels."
Ogle, whose company provides the buses for "KU on Wheels," asked for a 12 percent increase in contract cost next year, from $18 a bus hour to $18 a bus hour. The Lawrence Bus Company contracts with the airport by the number of hours its buses operate.
The bus contract for next year calls for a fuel clause to guard against unexpected increases in fuel prices. If diesel fuel prices increase to more than a yearly average of $1.66 a gallon, the Transportation Board must pay the difference. Olea said that he expected fuel prices to level off next fall and that he didn't expect the price to exceed $1.66.
The Transportation Board budget includes a $3,000 reserve to cover costs if fuel prices exceed the $1.66 mark.
Included in transportation costs are $14,733 for the university administration and they would attempt to solicit federal aid or aid from the University administration to help defray those costs in the form of grants.
While rising fuel prices have stalled plans for route expansion next year, they also took over the board of the company. The board cut 85% of schedule bus lines and increased the service budget within budget. The service cuts were made on the routes of "rush hour" buses, and were estimated to save "KLU On Wheels?"
The service changes were;
- Reducing the extra buses by five hours per day through the end of regularly scheduled classes.
- Reducing extra buses amounting to 20 hours per day during spring finals.
- Eliminating bus service on May 6, the day between the last day of classes and the first day of finals.
