About 35 students in the School of Business are getting practical experience through a program that helps small businesses in northeast Kansas.

Marilyn Taylor, assistant professor of business and advisor to the school's small business institute, said yesterday she was told they were now serving seven businesses.
The institute is funded by a $3,750 grant from the federal Small Business Administration. Students assist area businesses in inventory and accounting systems,
"It is mutually beneficial," she said. "Students get the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a business setting and businesses get consulting."
capital budgeting, statistical analysis and other business related areas.
After a semester of consultation, student file a written report of their experiences and recommendations with the company. After a copy to the owner of the business.
Taylor said a recent school survey of businesses receiving consultations last year showed that 70 percent of the
businesses were positive and enthusiastic about the program.
And students said the program was the most significant learning experience in their undergraduate careers, she said.
Taylor said that the school's institute had been commended by the SBA's district office in Kansas City, Mo., for the quality of its work.
Other advisers in the program, which is in its sixth year, are Gordon S. Fitch, and assistant professor and assistant professors John Garland Robert W. Hughes and V.K. Narayanana.

The question of whether student activity fee money should be used to fund "political" groups neared its head last night as the Student Senate, during budget deliberations, voted to cut UK budget recommendations from $1,413.72 to $705.12.

The Senate also attached a rider to the KU-Y funding bill advising the group not to come before the Senate in the future for funding.
Johnston explained that five groups were affiliated with KU-Y, sharing office space, telephone and supplies.
The group's original budget request was $2,242.42, but the Student Services Committee cut the request to $1,413.72.
DURING THE TWO-hour debate, riddled with parliamentary tangles, several senators questioned Pam Johnston, KUY-coordinator, and other senators about the purpose of the group.
"The purpose of KU-Y is and always has been, the elimination of sexism, racism and social injustice," she said.
The five groups are Rock Chalk Revue, Volunteer Clearinghouse, KU on South Africa, Kansas Ant-Draft and Latin American Solidarity.
The Urban Plunge Program, a
recycling project and the Child Advocacy Program were some of the programs funded directly by KU-Y. Johnston said.
Kevin Boldt, engineering senator, moved to cut KU-Y's funding completely.
Johnston told the Senate that KU-Y gave three groups, Latin American Solidarity, Kansas Anti-Draft Organization, and KU on South Africa, $50 this year in addition to sharing its office.
Boldt said he was opposed to the support KU-Y gave to certain issue groups.
THE SENATE regulations prohibit the use of student activity fee money to support candidates or issues on a ballot but do not probity funding of groups supporting one side of a controversial issue.
Rose Kuo, holdover senator, supported KU-Y's request, saying that it did not take stands on these issues although the affiliated dues did.
"KU-Y does not actively recruit and organize these groups," she said. "They organize themselves."
"This does not prevent groups with opposing viewpoints from organizing and affiliating with KU-Y also."
Peter Gray, graduate student senator, said the Senate was guilty of what many senators were complaining about.
"You're being political yourselves because you don't like their politics," he said.
THE MOTION TO cut all funding failed, but Loren Busy, Finance and Auditing Committee chairman, moved to cut the funding recommendation 183.72 to #76.12, leaving the group management office rental and telephone service.
Busby's motion passed, and the Senate voted to add the rider, proposed by Bruce MacGregor, liberal arts and science senators, to the bill.
- Black Student Union, $4,139.72
- THE RIDER SAID that KU-Y should not ask for funding in the future so that the groups and projects associated with it would apply individually.
- Latin American Soldiery, $140.*
* Commission on the Status of Women, $2.480.65.*
A rider is a suggestion to next year's Senate and is not binding.
In other business, the Senate made the following funding decisions:
- Consumer Affairs Association,
$5,374.44.
- KU Weather Service, $897.84.
Valuation Services, $100.10
- Friends of Headquarters, $8,799.38.
* KU Solar Energy International,
$778.95.
The Senate will meet tonight to finish budget deliberations.
