Owen campaigns at KU, backs pay raise
By GENE GEORGE Staff Reporter
Faculty at the State universities need enough money to convince them to stay in Kansas, Republican gubernatorial candidate Dave Owen said last night.
Owen, speaking to the KU College Republicans in the Kansas Union, said he believed the Board of Regents and university officials when they said that they did not believe any legislative grant did not grant at least an 8 percent pay raise for next year.
"I was on the Senate Ways and Means Committee, on the Higher Education Subcommittee, and the people from our district never tried to mislead us," Owen said.
THE REGENTS want a 10 percent pay raise, but the governor trimmed
that to 18 percent before passing it on to the Legislature. The Senate Ways and Means Committee will begin hearings on the Resents requests next week.
Owen said he had not studied the governor's proposed budget enough to decide how much money faculty members should get.
"I support aid to higher education to the point where we can attract the very best in faculty," he said.
Owen, the only person to formally announce for the 1982 gubernatorial race, said both the Senate committee and the governor's office have ideas about funding next year's budget.
He said the state should supply a stable tax structure, and should not single out an industry with a special tax
Gov. John Carlin has proposed an 8
percent severance tax that would place a new tax on the production of oil, natural gas and oil.
THE SENATE WAYS and Means Committee has gathered a $100 million list of possible projects to cut, but Owen said that would not be needed if the state would lure more business to Kansas.
"Over the next few years, business receipts will increase 10 percent," Owen said. "The state should find a bump that up without imposing a
Owen, a former state senator from Johnson County, lieutenant governor and chairman of the Robert D Senate re-election campaign, told the Times he was working hard to get 40,000 volunteers for his gubernatorial race.
"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?" Psalma 2:1 and Acts 4:25
CONCERING COUNTING THE COST! "For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitrite not down first, AND COUNTETH THE COST, the costhe have sufficient to finish it? Lest happly, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it must in mock him, but not able to finish it," — Christ speaking in Luke 14:2-38.
Hear the Word of God: "Them that sin rebelbe before all, that others also may fear. I charge thee before God and The Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou knowest what is good for you, and whom you call ourself Christian heard this solemn charge made in the sight of the "powers of Heaven and eternity." Have we observed them, we who take the Name of Christ upon us? Are they not as those of us especially "preschers of The Word of God"? Probably the sad truth is that most of us have not only failed to "observe these things" but reject them in miserable ways; are they not so desperate as the God hath spoken in Amoine 4:12? "PREPARE TO MEET THEY GOD!" "He that coverth his sins shall not prosper; but whose confesses and forsaketh them shall have mercy — Prov. 28:13." "Because sentence against an evil work is not possible," says Ephesians 6:11. Men of is fully set in them to do evil." — Ecclesi. 8:11.
There is much "hue and cry" and alarm about the great increase in crime, and surely it is timely, but doubtless the truth is that we don't want to get rid of it bad enough to "count the cost, and pay the bill!"
Lawlessness and crime of all kinds can be stopped, or cut to a minimum, if we are willing to "count the coast" and pay the bill. To fail to do so is indeed terribly "costly"). Consider the nations and epistles of past history! How many have perished as a result of "rotting within," like we did in our time with slavery? God for our great blessings, we would certainly do well to consider the danger of losing them, and causes therefore. If God-fearing people don't rise and put a stop to the great evils all about, then The Almighty will step in and do the job." Thus saith the Lord: Belohe, I am against thee, OUT OFF me for my sword out of his sheath, and WILL OUT OFF THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED" Ezekiel 21:3.
The reason we are unwilling to "COUNT THE COST" and pay the bill is due to a corrupt form of Christianity, one that has been divorced from faithfulness to The Law of God, The Ten Commandments, which reveal the very character of The Almighty, The Omnipotent, The Everlasting God!
"TAKE HEED, THEREFORE, THE LIGHT WHICH
IN IS IN THE BEE NOT DARKNESS!" — Luke 11:35.
If we continue unwilling to "COUNT THE COST" it is
GREAT IF IT IS DARKNESS — HOW
GREAT IS THAT DARKNESS?
"Then spake Jesus — I am The Light of the world; he
the followmeh shall not walk in darkness, but shall have
his eyes upon the light."

"I'm not going to wait until the last minute and rely on a media campaign to get elected."
"Some say it's too early to start a campaign," he told the group. "But it takes time to get around to all 105 counties.
He said he dropped out of politics for a while to help raise his three children.
AND NOW THAT he is back, Owea said he would be going to meetings like the one last night to build a base of young supporters.
"If we can get our 120,000 voles on paper, it still won't make a difference," he said.
With that base, Owen said, he could win the Republican primary next year no matter who else was in the race.

And if more than one Republican enters the race, Owen said he would be prepared.
“It’s a simple game of numbers,” he said. “If there is one opponent, then all need to win in 120.00 votes.”
Carlin is expected to announce his reelection bid for the Democratic primary.
--in the primary "because every person in the race is a friend of mine."
Owen said he would have a problem
Dave Owen, Republican gubernatorial candidate, makes a point during a talk to the KU College Republicans at the Kansas Union.
No matter who enters the race, Owen, who has run his campaign out of his Stanley bank since announcing last month, said he would stay.
He said he confident he could round up those 40,000 volunteers.
"We did it for Dole, and now all he have to do is get as popular as Dole," Owen said.
