percent to 8 percent. The amendment, along with a subsequent effort to raise the increase to 7.5 percent, failed.
State Rep. Mike Meacham, W-Richita, the leader of the efforts, said he was disappointed with the outcome. Meacham said that he thought he had enough votes, but that a couple of them did not come in as expected.
Another issue that caused considerable debate was whether to put utility expenses back into the school's Other Operating Expenses Accounts.
Proponents of the move of utilities back into the account said that it was an incentive plan for the universities to save money on utility bills.
They complained that because the Legislature paid the bills regardless of the amount, the universities were not trained - year-old energy conservation program.
Funds saved on the utilities could be transferred over to the schools' Other Operating Expenses Accounts, the proponents said.
Hayden and several other committee members, however, quickly pointed out that such a proposal only would encourage the universities to overestimate their utility costs so that they could get the surplus for their Other Operating Expenses Accounts.

On the contrary, Shankel was humbled by the standing ovation directed to him following his speech at yesterday's convocation.
"Thank you. I really wasn't expecting that," was the modest response to his reception from the 250 people in attendance.

required by the city for street performers, Lumpes said.
"When we play on the streets in Topeka, no one bothers us." Lumpe said. "Here in Lawrence, they don't like us asking for contributions.
"I don't know why they should mind so much, we try to put the money we earn immediately back into the economy. We usually spend it on beer and food from the place we happen to be playing in front of."
THE BAND PLAYS a melody of blue grass and traditional country, on instruments as complex as the banjo and as simple as the kazo.
According to Brown, the effect is tremendously successful.
"Our audiences give us great response," the fiddle player said. "It's guerrilla music; we hit and miss and utilize the surprise attack.
Brown said the band originally evoked from a series of impromptu jam sessions held last year on campus.
"We all knew each other socially, and the band just began taking form." Brown said.
Tomorrow, the Flaitland band will be leaving the streets briefly for a half-hour stint on radio station KJHK's Ethnic Boycow program.
"We'll be playing live music at noon, mostly the stuff people hear us on doing the streets." "Lumpie said, internal—no electronic street music."
Lumpe said that the group didn't plan to take their music off the streets.
"People love it, they come up to us all
"In cities like Paris, a great deal of their culture is derived from street performers," he said. "We'd like that kind of community participation here to get people out of their houses and back onto the streets."

Dave Shulenburger, vice president of the KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors, echoed Worth.
"I thought it had the right mixture of reassurance and pointing to a lot of real issues that exist as opposed to phony issues that have been raised by the press, Legislature and others outside of the University," he said.

FOLLOWING SHANKEL'S speech, T.P. Srivinasan, professor of mathematics, generated another round of applause when he praised Shankel, who will return to the faculty next fall as a microbiology professor.

"We do want to thank you for being a typical scholar besides being an administrator," Srinivasan said.
Srinivasan said last night that the reception for Shankel demonstrated the University community's support for him.
He said Shankle's message was clear. "He is clearly concerned about the onslaught that has been made in Topeka and people in Teopak and elsewhere," he said.
"He expressed the hope that the state would not be so short-sighted as to forget the asset of this state—the University," he said. "I hope that message gets across."
Bren Abbott, student body vice president, called the convocation a "pep rally" and said it made people feel good about the University again.
Abbott said the sparse student attendance of the convocation concerned him.
Busby said the convocation renewed a feeling about the University community.
"It's frightening," he said. "The students don't realize that there are some things to really be concerned about until they actually hit them in the face. And then it's too late to do anything about it."
LOREN BUSBY, liberal arts student senator, called the poor student turnout an "embarrassment to the student body."
He said he had hoped that Shankel could have been more specific in addressing the issues, but he added: "Maybe some of those things the admirer would benefit with on its own. We shouldn't be putting our dirt laundry out for everyone to see."
Richard Cole, professor of philosophy, said it was important that the chancellor address the issues, but he said the University's direction would not be determined from that single presentation.
"It's really typical, but I don't know what can be done about it," he said.
"How the University moves from here is dependent upon the new chancellor," he said. "The new chancellor and the new dean of the College (of Liberal Arts and Sciences) are the ones that are going to provide the academic leadership of the University."
