i*r student Senate last night approved an increase in
the seat budget per cent for Women's Intercollege Sports for the year.
The senate allotted $63,800.09 from student activity
requests to 10 women's sports. That was the amount
requested.
ine University of Kansas Athletic Association
(KUAA) received $351,591.91 It requested $157,380.
The amount that the senate allocates to KUAA is a subsidy of student season-ticket prices to men's athletic events. The reduced amount for KUAA is $15,000 per year, not next year. John Beaulin, Salma junior and student body president, said,
Season ticket prices for both football and basketball games were lower than those at KUUA if the student had not KUUA the amount it received last year.
Beisner said, Tickets currently are $8.50 for football and
$5.50 for basketball.

THE DECREASE IN FUNDING for KUAA means tucket prices will increase even more, by an understated 15%.
The KU Athletic Board, the governing body of KUAA, approved its next year's budget in a meeting yesterday morning despite objections by student representatives, Beisner said.
Student representatives weren't given time before the meeting to study the KUAA budget, he said.
Figures prepared by KUA4 indicate that KU's ticket prices are the lowest in the Big Eight.
"Women's sports has been grossly underfunded in the past." Dierck Caselman, Hawaii junior and chairman of the Sports Committee, said. The Sports Committee heard the budget requests of both KUAA and Women's Sports. It recommended that women's sports receive the amount it requested. The senate approved the recommendation by a 47 to 24 vote with two abstentions.
"WE HAVE SPENT this money foolishly." Hal Urabanok, Salma junior and member of the Student Senate
The majority of students don't want an increase in ticket prices, Urbanek said.
Several attempts were made to cut the amount given to Women's Sports.
"I have never seen such irresponsible spending as you
sensitive tonight," Mike Cicotto, Overland Park
Councilman.
Cacappo recommended that one dollar be given to Women's Sports. He said the women's budget allowed them about $100 a year.
"I thought the women's intercollegiate sports budget was nudged." Cacicono said.
Men's and Women's Intramurals received $892.04, which is about $3,500 more than it is guaranteed by the U.S. Army.

Defendants Ask to Disqualify Sirica
WASHINGTON (AP)—Four defendants in the Watergate cover-up case asked Wednesday that the U.S. District Court disqualify Judge John J. Sirafa from conducting the trial because they said he has violated the Constitution, only to be a prosecuted interest."
The motion asking for an evidentiary hearing in the matter said "Judge Sirica possesses, consciously or unconsciously, a crime which he is not personally bias in favor of the prosecution."
Sirice presided over the trial of two of the break-in defendants in January 1973 and has been involved in such subsequent Waterate developments as the White House tapes case, the missing and erased portions of those tapes and in successfully urging some defendants to talk freely with various investigators.
The paper was filed by attorneys for former Attert Gen, John N. Mitchell and former White House aides John D. Ehrlichman and Charles W. Colson. A separate
"JUDGE SIRICA has been personally involved in the investigatory and prosecutorial process leading up to the indictment of defendants as a result of which there has been a merging of the criminal functions in this case," said the motion.
affidavit was filed by the fourth defendant,
former White House judge Gordon Streater.
The motion alleged that Sirica, who assigned himself to the case in his last days as chief judge of the court, "has a substantial personal interest in the case" because if a company pursues it without it being vindicated of its conduct in the 1972 Water trial."
THE FOUR MEN along with H. R. Haldeman, Robert Mardian and Kenneth W. Parkinson, all are charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice. All except Mardian are charged in multiple counts with other offenses, including perjury and obstruction of justice. Their trials were set by Sirica for Sept. 9.
The motion called attention to the vast publicity Sirica has received since the break-in a trial year ago, including being named Time magazine's man of the year and a party given for him by members of the press for his 70th birthday.
The brief wert on, "We do not mean to disparage Sirice Siraica's motives or his attentiveness to his obligations. We simply point out that, like all judgements, he is human." Meantime, Mr. Ellsberg moved the burglary of Daniel Ellsberger, which indicated he will not accept
Structure of Faculty Union Debated
Editor's Note; This is the last of two stories on possible unionization of faculty members at the University of Kansas and other state-supported schools in Kansas.
The Kansas Legislature authorized faculty unionization in 1970, but the issue has only recently received considerable attention at the University of Kansas.

Because the issue is relatively new, controversy surrounds even the basic questions of who should be union members and union representatives.
proposed unit at Kansas State College at Pittsburgh. That unit includes department chairmen and department faculty but excludes student assistants, administration members above the rank of department chairman and personnel such as secretaries, who aren't primarily responsible for teaching.
George Budd, president of Kansas State College at Pittsburg, said department chairmen were included in the petition because they had teaching responsibilities.

One example of membership is the
Supervisors, such as department chairmen, should be defined as nonsupervisors for the purposes of collective bargaining, Oldfather said, or there could be conflicts within a college or university under the prohibitive practice laws.
Charles Oldfather, University attorney,

at a hearing on Thursday.
membership of the potential bargaining unit is especially critical at the University of Kansas because of the diversification of subjects taught and because the University includes faculty at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Related to unit membership is the issue of whether the units should represent local organizations.
Jerry Pewell, executive director of the Public Employee Relations Board, said the law didn't limit the University to one bargaining unit. The University can form more than one unit, he said, but the Public Employee Relations Board has the authority to declare bargaining units invalid if they become too numerous.
Oldfather said the University favored local campus bargaining units.
"All this talk about national defense and the Russians and everything else has made me a little more nervous."

Meir Resignation Final; Political Strife Goes On
Premier Golda Meir of Israel announced her resignation yesterday amid domestic political dispute and a month-long military conflict with Syria on the Golan Heights.
That move would mean the collapse of Israel's government that took office only last month and new general elections. That would not be organized for several months.
PARTY LEADERS said Meir had agreed to stay on as head of a caretaker cabinet
The major source of friction within the government since the war has been whom to blame for Israel's being poorly prepared for the October Arab attack.
Both Meir and Defense Minister Mohse Dayan threatened not to take part in the recently formed government, but after receiving strong support to continue, they changed their minds. Their official reason is that they all opposed military crisis on the Syrian front.
in recent weeks, however, the issue of blame for the war again has put pressure on
There was no immediate indication how Dayan would react to Meir's resignation.
the government. Many blame Dayan for the war errors that led to heavy Israeli casualties, while others want the whole government out.
Earlier yesterday a high-ranking Syrian delegation left for Washington and informed sources in Damascus said President Hafez Assad was preparing to go to Moscow today.
THE SEVEN-MAN DELEGATION to Washington, led by army intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Hikmat Chehiab, was to hold talks with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger on the prospects for a military disenagreement on the Golan Heights front.
Assad is to spend five days in Moscow talking with Kremelin leaders, sources said. Major topics of discussion were expected to include the need for a new East as well as military and financial aid.
The Israeli-Syrian border fighting on the Golan front continued, and Syria charged that the new commander of U.N. truce observers in the Middle East, Lt. Gen. Bengt Lijlendran of Sweden, was nearly hit by Israel shells.
A U.N. spokesman confirmed that the commander and several advisers had come under fire while on their way to Jerusalem during a familiarization tour of the Golan Heights.
Dairy Funds to Connally Switched, Sources Say
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Watergate investigators have evidence that $10,000, which had been offered to former Treasury Secretary John B. Connally, was removed from a bank safe-deep account because he says he placed the money, informed sources said yesterday.
The money was replaced later by new bills bearing serial numbers that showed they weren't in circulation at the time the transfer occurred. The numbers transferred to two sources familiar with the case.
CONNALLY HAS SAID he was told the money was put away for his political use, but he insisted it was for him.
Meanwhile, columnist Jack Anderson reported yesterday that FBI agents working for the Watergate special prosecutor have evidence that Connolly pocketed the $10,000, then hastily returned it to the agency group came under investigation.
Texas attorney Jake Jacobsen, one-time lawyer for Associated Milk Products Inc., has testified that the pit the money in the box for Connally and that Connally refused it.
Jacobsen has pleaded innocent, but the letter is serial numbers make his testimony a challenge.
A WATERGATE GRAND JURY indicted Jacobsen for perjury, saying he lied when he swore that the money remained in the safe-deposit box for nearly 2½ years until removed in the presence of an FBI agent last Nov. 27.
Anderson reported that according to FBI sources, Connally first accepted the money, then gave back he sum in $100 bills. Later, worried that the bills could be traced, he substituted smaller bills, Anderson reported. But though the year on the bills showed they had been printed before the original payment was made, they were later after Jacobson said the money went into the safe-deposit box, Anderson reported.
CONNALLY SAID YESTERDAY: "I
received the money, and I do so today."
Jacobsen had no comment on the Anderson column.
Jacobsen's lawyer is expected to skiff chief U.S. District Judge George L. Hart Jr., to throw out the indictment on the technical grounds that the Watergate special prosecution force, through a slip in a failure to capture Jacobsen with an offense.
The matter of the $10,000 has been of special interest to Watergate investigators, who suspect it may have been for Comtty's own self-interest. An increase in milk price supports in 1971.
Although both Jacobson and Connally say the money was offered for use by Connally as a campaign contribution, it was disclosed recently that the cash came from the corporate account of the milk producers coop, and not from its political trust. Federal law
