Less growth, spending key to budget
By KARI ELLIOTT Staff Reporter
The federal government's proposed spending cuts are not significant, Sen. Nancy Landon Kassabbe told a KU business symposium yesterday.
"The government must not just reduce spending, but reduce its rapid growth," she told an overflowing crowd of more than 700 people in the Kansas Union Ballroom. "A balanced budget is not an end-all of economic health."
A significant change in the government's budget proposal was the shifting from category to block grant funding, she said. The emphasis on funding, she suggested, should be more at the state level.
"It's all too easy to shift the responsibility on Washington," she said. "But give up responsibility and you give up accountability. You can't look to the courts and federal government to unravel problems."
KASSERAUM SAID it was important to get the economy under control.
"We can't live with high inflation," she said. "We've lost the ability to govern ourselves. I'm proud of the budget and we're going to shape the budget to fit the times."
However, there is never any one right economic theory, the senator said, whether it's supply-side economics, tax reform or budget reductions.
"The strength of the economy affects domestic as well as foreign policy," she said.
Two issues have expanded and shaped the economy. Kassebaum said.
"The first issue is the amount of money the United States spends purchasing oil," she said. "Our energy use each half a trillion dollars in a few years."
Kassebaum said she favored the development of nuclear energy, but was concerned with safeguarding toxic wastes.
The second issue shaping the economy was the defense budget, she said. But she added that spending in the military, the answer to a stronger defense.
Speaking to a predominantly female audience, Kassaeba said she had not decided whether women should be drafted if the draft was reinstated.
"The volunteer army is not working," she said. "The retention rate is almost nil."
THERE SHOULD NOT be an exemption for attending college, she said.
The U.S. economy is so important that schools are emphased in schools, Kaiser Schools and others.
"What you will get is an economic gain. You can't get any other job will be drafted."
"There also needs to be programs for women so they will have a good understanding of business, such as investments or property transaction," she said. "Women are being called upon more to understand business."
Women must provide leadership opportunities for others, she said.
"Women must be willing to take an active role in community and state activities," she said. "This is where the will be made in the next decade."
Before the speech, Kassabeham received a letter from the KU Committee on South Africa protecting a protester by bill repealing the Clark ameddment.
That amendment prohibited CIA and para-military activities in Angola.
Kassebaum took the letter, but told the group that she did not favor repealing the amendment.
She said, however, that she was against military intervention in South Africa.

Group discusses society. relations: ends series
By MARK ZIEMAN
Staff Reporter
Wrapping up a 10-day series on masculinity, sponsored by the Men's Coalition, 15 area men and women last night discussed the problem of living in "a society that does not foster好 relations between men and women."
"Men and women make up society, they both have problems, and men aren't aware of many of their own." John Macintosh, a member of the women's movement, said that the women's movement has focused on both sides of the coin."
Tom Dougherty, another coalition member, agreed.
"The Feminist movement has looked at one side of the problem, and the
Masculists are concerned with the other side," he said. "If people work together, we see that it's the same person doing the same thing up, we now recognize it as two issues.
The men stressed the importance of both sexes working together to solve the problems caused by society's traditional male-female stereotypes, and said they did not want to be viewed as anti-Feminist.
"Because we're focusing on male perspectives, today it's been assumed that they're anti-female." Dougherty said. "That's not the case at all."
problems stemming from society's "macho" image.
The fact that women outnumbered men eight to seven at the workshop was evidence of Dougherty's statement. The study found that women's physical and psychological
One of the major problems the group found facing men and women was the inability of people to express their emotions honestly and fairly.
"Women cry on their pillows and men go out and slug their friends," Dougherty said.
He said that he hoped that such problems might be worked out on a personal and interpersonal level, beginning with workshops.
"Maybe it will then seep out into society," he said.
Senator Nancy Landon Kassbaum, R-Kan., is greeted by protesters as she arrived at the Kansas Union to speak at a business symposium sponsored by the University State Bank and the School of Business.
