City Manager Previews Commission Budget
BY SHARON WALSH Kansan Staff Reporter
Cost of living raises for city employees and increased costs of materials for city maintenance programs will account for most of the 8 per cent increase over last year in the proposed 1975 city budget, Mr. Watson, city manager, said yesterday.
Watson, who previewed the budget at a meeting of the Lawrence City Commission, called the budget a "hold the line" proposal.
"The new budget calls for the same programs as last year," he said, "but the cost of living soared. City employees will receive a 7 per cent cost of living increase up through the $13,200 salary level. Merit raises will be very limited, and it is difficult
to predict what the new Federal Labor-Standards Act will do to us."
Dennis Kallen, assistant city manager,
cited examples of increased costs in the
city.
Since 1972, the cost of fuel for city vehicles has increased 249 per cent; liquid ashfall for the chip-and-seal road repair program and for the police department; police uniforms are up 26 per cent.
SenEx Names Fifteen Chairmen
The Senate Executive Committee (SenEx) voted yesterday to make recommendations to four university committees.
The University Calendar Committee recommendations include a possible final examination schedule. The University Senate committee on financial aid to students, human relations and libraries had recommended recommendations adopted as amended.
Del Shanker, executive vice-chancellor of the Lawrence campus, told SenEx members that a professional consultant on security might be obtained by the university. The drug problem was being discussed by two agencies to help solve the problem.
Richard Paxson, Baxter Springs graduate student, was elected vice chair
SenEx has announced that one student is among next year's committee chairmen. Phil Frickey, Oberlin senior and president of the Association of University Residence Halls, is the new chairman of the Parking and Traffic Board. In his absence, Cliff Ketzel, professor of political science, will preside over board meetings.
Voice Recital Tonight
Miriam Stewart Green, associate professor of voice, will present a recital at 8 tonight in Swarthout Hall. Her recital will be held on Thursday at composer composers, from 1560 to the present day.

Exact figures for the budget, which the city staff is still working on, will be announced in July. Watson said in some areas the figures for the budget still weren't final. The budget package and budget is funds for local day care centers. The commission rejected a request from the Douglas County Child Care Assn, for $6,000 in funds to match Title 4A funds, which give support to low and middle income families. The budget can't afford the $3.50 a day or child care.

"The FACT that this is a deserving organization doesn't mean it should be financed by the city," said Rose. "Many companies don't have money, I'm not sure whose responsibility it is, but I pretty sure it's not the city's." Watson said that no other city in the state financed day care centers, except in cases where credit sharing money had been allocated.
The fear was expressed by several commission members that if the city began financing day care centers, the state might rescind its support.

The commission approved a recommendation that a letter of strong support for adequate funding at the state level be sent to state legislators, so that allocating funds from the city wouldn't be necessary. In other actions yesterday, the com-
In other actions yesterday, the commission:
—DESIGNATED CATEGORIES for the use of $395,808 in federal revenue sharing money. A total of $463,836 of the funds will be used for the city vehicle maintenance garage and renovation of city office space, with the remainder to be used for health, libraries, social services for the aged and poor and public health.
Suggested that the staff look into a car-pooling program in which interested citizens could mail in information that would later be computed. This was cited as the reason to the huge outlay of funds that would be necessary for a public transportation system.
Former Student Is Found Guilty Of Rape Charge
Harold Clarke Jr., 19, a former University of Kansas student from Columbia, S.C., was convicted yesterday of rape and illegal possession of marijuana in Division II of the Daugaon County Courthouse.
Clarke was convicted of raping a 19-year-old woman on the tenth floor of Ellsworth Hall April 10.
The jury of nine women and three men acquitted him of aggravated burglary and could not reach a verdict on a charge of aggravated sodomy. A retrial for that charge was set for June 27. Sentencing for the rape and possession charge will be delayed until after the retrial.
