Severance tax saga continues
By United Press International
TOPEKA—In a last-ditch effort this session, Senate Minority Leader Jack Steinerger yesterday announced that he would re-introduce severance tax legislation next week when the legislation reconvened for its wrap-up session.
Calling the actions of a Senate committee that killed the bill earlier this session "irresponsible," the Democratic senator from Kansas City said that he hoped to force a vote of the full Senate by introducing a resolution that would allow a nearly immediate vote on the hotly debated issue.

procedural resolution asking inawards to forgo legislative rules by permitting him to introduce a bill—the severance tax' bill-after the February deadline for introduction of most bills.
Steiniger will tell the Senate that he is set to introduce a new version of the severance tax bill passed by the House earlier this session, but killed by a committee on a 6- vote. The bill Senate has never had a chance to vote on the bill.
If the Senate passed the procedural resolution, Steineger would open up debate on the bill, with a final vote in the Senate set for the same day so that House lawmakers could tackle the measure Friday.
Although he said he has not had a
Expo to have shuttle speaker
The 61st annual Engineering Exposition, which started today, features a speech by a KU graduate who was in charge of much of the technical equipment aboard the Columbia space shuttle.
The Engineering Exposition, sponsored by the KU Students Engineering Council, will run today at 9 p.m. and tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 12.30 p.m.at
The speaker, Dean Grimm, a 1958 KU graduate in aeronautical engineering, is assistant director of engineering and development at the Johnson Space
Center in Houston. He will speak tomorrow night on the "Space Shuttle and Future Programs."
Grimm will show films and slides of the shuttle never shown in public before, Mark Fouts, president of the engineering council, said.
The speech and presentation, at the Kansas Union, will be part of the Expo Banquet and Awards Ceremony at 5:30 p.m. in the Kansas Room. Tickets for the event can be chased in each engineering department and in the dean's office at Learned Hall.
commitment from a majority of senators to vote in favor of the bill, Steineger said he was confident that he could garner more than the 21 votes needed in the 40-member Senate to pass a resolution resolution and a severance law.
Since the two-week recea begin, some legislators have been swayed in favor of a severance tax. Stinlinger said that no difference. He would not provide names.
The revised bill would impose a five percent severance tax on oil and natural gas production in the state and a two percent tax on coal. Left out of the bill is a provision taxing salt and cement production, which was tacked on to Gov. John Carlin's original bill during House committee hearings.
Low-producing wells and royalty interests would be exempted from taxation under the bill. Distribution of the revenues that would be raised by the bank would also be ended, Steiner said, with only 50 percent earmarked for school finance.
Even if the Senate did pass the bill, the House would have to vote on the revised version. By leaving the allotment of half the revenues up in the air, House lawmakers might have a chance to re-insert a provision that was instrumental in getting a severance tax waived. But of the later chamber earlier this session, that provision would have used more than half of any severance tax revenues to pay for income tax credits for farmers and businessmen.

KUAC studies stadium beer sales
Abbott said that he and Coleman had been working on an acceptable proposal for serving beer in the state since their election in November.
Other subcommittee members are chairman Bert Coleman, student body president and KUAC student board member, Bren Abbott, student body vice president, Jay Meschke, co-chairman of a Student Senate task force that compiled the information presented at the
"We're aware of financial problems that the athletic department is having, and this is just one of the ways we're trying to maintain our athletic program for enjoyment by students." Coleman said.
"The athletic department is thinking of levying a $5 tax on students to make up a $174,000 deficit. I don't think the students here are going to accept that. If they were to have somewhere else, maybe they won't have to get it from students, or maybe they can ask for less."

If the proposal receives KUAC board and administration approval, 70 percent of the revenue would be used to defray costs of non-revenue expenses. If the proposal is given to the Kansas Memorial Union Board, according to the students.
"I have some reservations," Susanne Shaw, chairman of the KUAC board and associate dean of the School of Journalism, said. "Is it a good thing at this time? Is this really what people want?"
meeting; Clark Bricker, professor of chemistry; and Odd Williams, KU alumnus.
They estimated that concession's revenues at the stadium would increase about 20 percent. The subcommittee estimated that total revenues from beer sales would be between $5,000 and $10,000.
"For a $2 million budget, this is a drop in the bucket," Williams said. "I think you should take the revenue and throw it out the window."
SHAW ADDED THAT the amount would only pay for one tournament trip for the women's basketball team.
The subcommittee, which met for the first time yesterday afternoon, will present its findings to the KUAC at 4 p.m. in the Satellite Union.
"I still contend that one trip is better than none." Abbott said.
Coleman said, "We're not talking about scholarships (for revenue sports). We're talking about money that we need to know what about equipment purchases?"
Non-student members of a KU Athletic Corporation subcommittee looking into serving beer in Memorial Stadium were hesitant yesterday to commit themselves to a recommendation to the KUAC board.
The subcommittee will meet Monday to reach a consensus before Tuesday's board meeting.
Coleman stressed that an additional feature of the proposal was reduction in the amount of hard consumed during football games.
