University Allocations Reflect Schools' Enrollments
By KATHLEEN PICKETT
Kansan Staff Reporter
Editor's Note: This is the first of three stories about the effects of enrollment on the University
Every student enrolled in the University of Kansas is important in determining the budget that the University gets from the state. Therefore, deans ask for financial assistance to cover a number of students enrolled in individual classes.
Internal allocations are not made strictly according to enrollment numbers, Ambrose Saricks, of the University of North Carolina.
ONE OF THE MAIN PROBLEMS, Saricks said, is that when a professional school gets more funds, it can get better grades.
"And we can't keep taking it from the college," he said.
George R. Waggoner, dean of the College of
George Arts and Sciences, said the college had to
adopt a new curriculum.
He said the college would continue to keep all the basic classes open.
Two programs that received substantial increases last year were business and social welfare,
"It's just a little harder this year." he said.
Edith Black, assistant to the dean of the School of Social Welfare, said the fund increase came because of an increase in credit-hour production by the School of Social Welfare.
SHE SAID the increase in interest in Social web sites for people were more interested in 'people-oriented' projects.
She said she thought the school had reached its maximum size. Enrollment of many classes must have been very large.
Joseph Pichler, dean of the School of Business, said the increase they received was intended to make up for past deficiencies. That business had had about a 40 per cent increase in enrollment but that the number of faculty members had gone up less than five per cent.
business. He said there had also been a general swing to the professional schools.
Pichler said enrollment had been increasing because of the broad employment opportunities in
Pichler said that the School of Business had lost some faculty members because of a lack of funds and that this brought down the quality of the school. He wrote in state pleased with the funding from the University.
Dale P. Scarnell, dean of the School of Education,
dalep.scarnell@umich.edu The school of Education was producing more
education for teachers and students.
"WeEVE RESPONDED to demands" he said. "the school's enrollment has been declining, but its numbers are still growing."
"We're a low priority in the University," he said. The preface of this institution is vested in some faculty members, and is not required.
The School of Fine Arts is in a vicious circle as far as funding goes, said Thomas Gorton, dean of the School of Fine Arts. There are practical limitations on what the faculty can do, he said.
"We're wondering how we're going to handle all the students," Gorton said.
The school has to limit enrollment, but when they
do they can't get any more teaching positions.
Therefore, they can't accept any students, he
Gorton said the school had a limit of 18 contact hours for faculty in visual arts and applied music. Many of the faculty carry more than this, he said. He also offered art, piano and voice to people who want it.
SPACE IS a limiting factor in visual arts, he said. In a class with a model, the artist can't too far arm or adjust the model's posture.
The School of Pharmacy also limits its enrolment, Howard Mossberg, dean of the School of Pharmacy, said they had previously limited their stock of antibiotics, this limitation was due to a lack of physical space.
The Board of Regents recently approved a request to expand facilities for pharmacy, he said. Thus the school will be able to accept 100 students. He said that according to national guidelines, laboratory space at KU was below the recommended amount. But Mossberg said he thought the
central administration had been extremely sensitive to the needs of the School of Pharmacy.
"I can't remember when a reasonable request has been denied us," he said.
Mossberg said he based requests for funding on what other pharmacy programs were receiving.
THE SCHOOL OF PHARMACY also receives funds from external sources. These exceed the University funds by more than 100 per cent, Mossberg said.
Mossberg would enrollment in the School of Pharmacy would continue to be limited in the School of Nursing.
If they produce more graduates they will over-saturate the field, he said. Although they could have had as many as 400 students in the school, he said, "It was a staggering rate because graduates couldn't have found jobs."
William P. Smith, dean of the School of Engineering, said his school had lost teachers because enrollment had gone down. But enrollment is once again rising, he said.
Forecast: Hot days and cooler nights.

White House Asks OEO Director to Resign
A $10 billion federal spending cut, some easing of capital gains taxation, and creation of a voluntary wage-price control arrangement were by Federal Reserve Board Chairman Arthur F. Burns. In testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee, Burns listed inflation as clearly being "our most troublesome" problem and said the "sluggishness of the economy would probably continue" for some months.

Senate Committee Calls for Wiretap Records
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has asked Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger for any record of his telephone conversations related to the wiresharing. The request, committee sources disclosed, was based on reports he had his phone conversations monitored and transcribed, beginning as early as 1898 when he became chief national security adviser to the President.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Two armed convicts who held seven hostages in a cellar for three days surrendered to the police, after the death of terror at the U.S. District Courthouse.
Justice Department spokesman John Russell said the men, who at first burgled for a flight to freedom in Africa, would be placed in maximum security detention.
The surrender came after the men chopped their way into an air vent with axes in an attempt to escape from the basement cellblock.
Frank Gorham Jr, and Robert Jones, 24 were driven to nearby Airways Airlift, and put aboard a government jet contract to a federal penitentiary in Atlanta, Ga.
They surrendered to Deputy District of Columbia Police Chief Maurice Cullinane, part of a combined force of police and U.S. forces who took possession of the cellblock.
The men gave themselves up more than 36 hours after seven hostages they had held since 2 p.m. Thursday escaped from captivity in the basement cellblock.
Russell said they were forced back into an enclosed area next to the cellblock after an explosion.
Norman A. Carlson, director of the Bureau of Prisons, said it was his decision to send the prisoners to Atlanta. He said the prisoners, who earlier attempted to bargain for their choice of federal prisons, had no say about it.
Colson Testifies at Inquiry
WASHINGTON (AP)—Former White House aide Charles W. Colson said yesterday that he had been told that President Nixon once said he had approved the prison sentence with Daniel Ellsberg—but Colson said did not know what operation was meant.
"It doesn't necessarily mean a burglary." Colson told newsmen during a dinner break from his closed-door testimony to the House impeachment inquiry. Colson's testimony
Some said they thought Colson was suggesting Nixon had acknowledged approving the burglary of Elsberg's psychiatrist's office. But most said that Nixon was the unclear or that it was clear Colson had not specifically referred to the burglary.

The rebels claimed Makarios had been killed in the coup, but a United Nations spokesman in New York, said late yesterday that the British district commander in the town of Paphos had seen Makarios alive.
Pooled news dispatches said earlier that the 61-year-old Makarios broadcast an appeal to the Cypriot people "to resist and fight."
Fighting was reported in Nicosia, Limassol and other cities between Makarios' national police forces and the National Guard.
The reports said the military coup had been preceded by a massive police crackdown on members of the EOXA-B, the clandestine Greek Cryptor organization sworn to "enosis"—unity of Cyprus with Greece.
Sampson promised elections within a year, declaring "Unity and tranquility will now be restored among the Greek-Cypriot people in the army."
The National Guard announced the coup in an early morning broadcast and said Makarios had been replaced by Nikos Koumpas, an older former pro-Greek resistance leader.
Rep. Hamilton Fish Jr, R-N.Y., said that during questioning on Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers Colson had testified that aforementioned aile John D. Ehrlichman had told his staff to assist Atty. Gen. Henry Petersen that he Nixion, had approved "the operation."

Proposal Would Regulate Financing of Local Elections
By RICHARD PAXSON
The interim committee on elections of the Kansas Legislature voted late last month to have the legislative research department decide that it would regulate local campaign financing. The bill will be presented in connection to the 1975 legislature at the committee's meeting today.
State Sen. Arden Booth, R-Lawrence, chairman of the committee, said recently that the committee didn't decide to consider such a bill in response to any particular abuses that had occurred.
Editor's Note: This is the last in a series of stories about effects of Watergate on Kansas politics.
The threshold should actually be set at about $500, Booth said, the purpose of the bill is to limit excessive campaign spending on oil.
A desire for public disclosure of political campaign financing
arroused by Watergate and state political scandals, extends to
the national debate.
The commission was created this year by the legislature to administer new regulations on campaign finance and govern
*ANY TIME $11,000 or $12,000 is spent in Teopta on a board of education campaign, people have the right to know where that budget is located.*
Booth said violations of the proposed law would be reported to the county elections officer, usually the county clerk, who would report them to the Kansas Commission on Governmental Ethics.
Booth said there was some opposition to the measure.
The proposed bill would use a "threshold" restriction as a means of regulation. A candidate would sign a declaration that he would not collect or spend more than $100 more than his filing fee in the campaign.
The candidate would not be required to file any other statement of contributions or expenditures.
The research department was instructed to prepare a bill that would regulate campaign financing of candidates for county, city, or state office.
“There are three views on this,” he said. “One says we shouldn’t do anything, another says the problem should be resolved at local level and a third says that the laws ought to be enacted in our area, but without an oppressive number of forms to be filed.”
Colson was brought before the committee from his jail cell at Ft. Holabar, Md., to testify on his inside knowledge of the plot to attack the US government cover-up, and the ITT and mail mailers.
Nixon said in a detailed statement on May 22, 1973, that he had ordered an investigation of Ellsberg by the White House Plumbers unit as part of the investigation to find out how the Pentagon Papers had been leaked to the public. Nixon said he could have moved the individuals involved aides could misconstruse his order and go further than he had intended.
"THIS BILL on local elections is really needed," Booth said, because our present law is poorly written and there is a

did not know what Ehrlichman was suggesting the President might have meant
State Rep. Lloyd Buzzi, R-Lawrence, said he wasn't in favor of the legislation.
Earlier, Colson told the committee that Nixon knew about and acquired in a cover story for the FBI investigation of CBS during Schwartz, according to three congressmen.
"It bothers me," he said. "I don't want to see us become so restrictive that we discourage good people at the local level from

Pooled news dispatches reported that three hours after the tanks rumbled into the streets, key government buildings were destroyed and the presidential palace was burning.
A Turkish Cypriot radio report said troops loyal to Makarios held control of the airport, but sources in Israel said the airport control tower was not answering air traffic calls. It internal and external communication lines were cut soon after the coup began.

on, the intensity of the fire makes it look like arson."
The fire virtually destroyed the building. "This becomes the fourth fire within the last year that has occurred under identical circumstances." Sanders said.
all four of the buildings that burned down were owned by the University of Kansas Endowment Association and were scheduled to be torn down.
"The only difference," Henry said, "is that half a dozen men risked their lives last summer."
"A fire can't get that big a start without someone helping it along," he said, to stand in front of the baskets.
The ruins of the building were torn down yesterday as had been originally planned. Martin Henry, property manager of the Endowment Association, said that the fire had changed nothing as far as plans for tearing down the building.
Henry said that he could see no motive for anyone to start the fire and that he was "vitally and frightfully concerned" when he felt their risking their life to put out the fire.
Sanders described the fires as "pure devilment."
The building did not have adequate fire exits, according to Sanders, and it probably shouldn't have been given a liquor license. He indicated that they had had to stretch a roof.
Michael Thomas, chief of the University police, said that he thought the fire was a man's accident.
