Fees, Profits Fund SUA
University of Kansas students pay for Student Union Activities (SUA) programs like another, Steve Warren, Hastings, Norah and SUA board president, said yesterday.
"SUA is not a clubtype, selective organization," Warren said. "Any student is a member because SUA gets part of its money from the student activity fee."
SUA operates on what Warren called a deficit budget. Each spring the 12-member board draws up an arbitrary listing of expected income and expenses for eight basic program areas, including expected profits from certain programs.
This year the board estimated that expenses would be $233.01 and income would be $186.99.
The money to make up the deficit comes from the Kansas Union funds, Warren said. Part of these Union funds comes from the student Union-usage fee.
"Each student pays an activity fee of $17 per semester," said Warner L. Ferguson, the union's associate director for financial affairs. "This fee is broken down in several parts. This fee of $7.50 per student goes directly to that $12.50 in bring about at $121.00 per semester."
Ferguson said that $12,500 was usually required to balance the SUA budget. The
rest, be said, goes primarily to maintenance of the building.
Warren said that two programs, films and special events, such as concerts, usually run at the Cineplex.
Milk prices decreased at several stores last week in the Consumer Protection Association food price survey. On Monday the price of a half gallon of All Star 2 per liter was $14, falling to 81 cents at the Dillon stores. Falls to 83 cents away, and to 76 cents at Rusty's on 22nd Street.
Milk Prices Decrease At Some Local Stores
"But we generally expect to make less than we spend," he said. "A lot of our programs are free, and if we charge more, there are much lower than commercial prices."
Rusty's brand 2 per cent milk also decreased in price from 75 cents to 21.5 cents at 21.5 cents.
Other changes in dairy product prices included a reduction in the price of store brands of cottage cheese at Dillon's on 6th Street, both Kroger and Rusty's on 2nd
Street, and an increase in the price of store brands of vowet at both Kroger's.
Large eggs were down two to five cents a
piece, and the eggs on its 6th Street,
and Rusty's on 23rd Street.
Last week's average prices are shown with the current average prices for each published item to provide an over-all index of price changes in Lawrence.
Meat price fluctuations at several stores resulted in average price increases for pork roast, decreases for ground beef, round turkey, over, whole frying chickens and fried thighs.
During the year, Warren said, the board doesn't "follow the budget by a hard and fast rule." This year, for example, SUA absorbed the Free University program at an unbudgeted cost of $15,000. SUA also increased spending for, respectively, Warren said.

The SUA board is made up of a four-member executive board and eight other members who each direct a program area. The executive board members are chosen by the executive committee of the Memorial Corporation Board of Directors. The eight members are selected each spring by the outgoing board and the newly selected executive board.
Interviews for next year's officers and board members begin Tuesday and March 2. Warren said next year's board would be expanded to include a program director for the Free University program and another director for the recreation program, which was split recently into outdoor and indoor areas.

BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - Influential circles in Jordan are asking whether the United States is preparing to abandon its old border with Turkey and create of an overall solution in the Midwest.
Hussein-U.S. Relations Questioned
There is speculation in Amman that reports of demonstrations by units of the Jordanian army were influenced by the United States to weaken Hussein's hand in his forthcoming talks with President Nixon in Washington.
Hussein's most conciliatory position has been to call for a referendum among Palestinians to decide the future of the west bank at an unspecified date after the Israelis give way to a return of Jordanian civilian administration.
The United States has never taken a public stand on the future political rule of the west bank. The nearest it has gone is to state that the "legitimate rights of the Palestinian people" must be respected in an over all settlement.
There is also open suspicion in the Jordanian capital that Washington will come down against Hussein and for the creation of a Palestinian state in the occupied west bank of Jordan on the heels of an eventual Israeli withdrawal.
The immediate strain between Amman and Washington arose from the army demonstrations at the garrison town of Zerga north of Amman two weeks ago.
Informed sources said Hussein might have misunderstood early U.S. Embassy reports of the demonstrations, sent to him during the formal course while he was in London.
Reports from his own officials in Amman are understood to have given a much less dramatic view of the affair and have advised that there was no need for his return
to Jordan. But he disregarded the advice.
Influential Jordanians maintain their belief that Hussein and Premier Zedid Rafal were at the speed U.S. reports reached them in London and at the detailed information they contained about the army troubles.
The U.S. charge d'affaires in Amman, Pierre Graham, has been in constant personal contact with Hussein and Rifai in efforts to resolve any problems.
U. S. of affairs in turn were astonished that such reports, relayed as a gesture to their captain, had not been given.
Amman has been without a U.S. ambassador since Dean Brown left at the end of November. Ambassador-designate human Pickering, a carrier diplomat and a college professor, State Henry Kissinger, is due in Amman after Hussein's expected visit to Washington.
