THE MEASURE continues the state's work release and other programs, but changes the department's administrative setup. It gives the corrections secretary more authority than the penal director now has.
The Consumer Protection Act and Uniform Consumer Credit Code have been billed by their sponsors as the most far-reaching in state history in the area of consumerism.
The bill increasing junior college aid was among a package of measures designed to bring massive property tax relief statewide. The bill would provide a credit hour to $12 the amount of state aid set forth in the college, provides for the state to assume 50 per cent of the cost of outdistrict tuition.
They outlaw certain fraudulent business practices, provide for a three-day "cooling off" period on door-to-door sales, modify the state's deficiency judgment law, abolish the state's holder-in-due-course law and impose charges on small loans and charge accounts. They also enlarge the attorney general's powers to prosecute consumer fraud cases.
Shooting Inquest Set for Monday
An inquest into the death of Richard Cossaart will be held at 7 p.m. Monday in Division I of Douglas County District Court, according to the county attorney's office.
Cossaart, a former KU student and owner of the Inn Tavern, was killed early Friday morning when two Lawrence policemen fired several shots into the Inn Sight Tavern, 2205 Haskell, after they were fired upon.
The policemen were responding to a bargary alarm at the tavern when the sheriff arrived.
Two policemen involved in the incident have been routinely relieved from active duty pending the results of an investigation of the shooting.
Cossart was buried Monday in Belleville.

imposes a 5 per cent a year budget limit on the colleges and increases the minimum tuition the schools may charge students from $5 to $8 a credit hour.
A feasibility study on a proposed turnippe from the Strother Field area south of Winfield to Galena generally along the U.S. 160 corridor also is authorized in the bill. That study was pushed by some southeast legislators—including House Speaker Peter Koehler—a favored study on a northern route east of Wichita along the Kansas 96 corridor.
THE BILL pumps $2.5 million more state money into community junior colleges. At one point, the bill had provided state support at the $1 a credit hour level and a total of $10 million in benefits but in negotiations with Docking the crease in the support level was cut in half.

Docking signed the turnip bill without comment. It authorizes construction of new toll road segments from a point on the Kansas Turnip pile just north of Wellington to Strother Field, and from south of Strother Kansas. Oklahoma border east of Arkansas City, Arkansas would lie into Oklahoma's portion of the "Northwest Passage" to the Tulsa area.
Docking also signed a bill providing appropriations for a host of state agencies, but used the line item veto to cut out a $144,511 appropriation for building and maintenance. The vote was deleted by the governor from the board of the Department of Economic Development.
Docking criticized the legislature's removal of the budget lid from the 1970 tax lid law in extending it indefinitely. He said the budget lid—which restricted local units of government from increasing their annual pay of three per cent without a vote of the people—"partly responsible for preventing property tax increases" in recent years.

Nichols Doubts Validity Of KU Salary Study, Suggests Re-evaluation
The 1972-73 Affirmative Action University Faculty Salary Study statistics should be reckoned for mechanical and methodological errors before salary inequities can be proven and before any further action for the University of Kansas can be recommended, Chancellor Raymond Nichols said Tuesday.
The study, released Thursday by Shirley Gilham, director of Affirmative Action for Women (AAW), shows the average difference between the salaries of men and women at KU has increased $2,730.13 in 1971-72 to $3,910.47 in 1972-73.
AAW and the Office of Institutional Planning, which helped to prepare the study, have been asked by Nichols to redo research on a department by department analysis.
"I cannot believe the figures are right," Nichols said in his weekly press conference, "I cannot believe that we have slipped much in the past year. Actually I thought we improved; therefore, I cannot accept the differential as valid."
Nichols said the study disregarded the variables of tenure, experience, teaching ability and previous employment records. Lack of funds in all departments and services to combat salary disparity constitute a major problem. Nichols said.
"The money problem complicates the answer to solving the inequity problem," Nichols said. "Not until the money is available by the state legislature can we be expected to bring equity to the salaries of men and women within the University.
'I favor equal pay for equal performance as fast we can get the money.'
Nichols said he thought the salary inequity could be totally eliminated in the next two years if KU got a 10 per cent increase to the state legislature for salary allocations.
Another major factor Nichols sees effecting salary disparity is the traditional merit system. He said he did not think all faculty should get the same salary across the board.
"I feel there is a need for an individual cavassing of every salary allocation because discrepancies may occur because a particular man is a teacher superior to his female counterpart," Nichols said. "The fact that we have women getting more money than men. These women are superior to their male counterparts."
Nichols said the lack of promotions of women faculty members was due to the lack of opportunities for them.
The Kansas Commission on Civil Rights is now studying the 1973-74 University budget
Consideration of the Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee's recommended budget is the major agenda item for the senate meeting tonight. The meeting will begin at 6:30 in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union.
Mert Buckley, Wichita junior and student body president, said that there would probably be a motion to limit debate on the budget recommendations so that only senators would be allowed to speak. He said any organizations interested in presenting a proposal should contact one of the senators and request the present to present its case.
