New KUAC ticket proposal could triple student prices
Staff Reporter
Student ticket prices for football and basketball games could as much as triple next year if recommendations made by the KU approved board ticket committee are approved today.
The KUAC board will meet at 3:30 p.m. in the Satellite Union to consider the recommendations. It also will consider proposals to move a KU-MU football game to Arrowhead and will sell beer in Memorial Stadium and will decide whether KU women's teams will join the NCAA.
Steve Lebeen, KUAC student board member,
said that ticket pricing in past years had been settled at board meetings to keep student ticket prices as low as possible.
THE RECOMMENDATIONS of the ticket committee would allow the board to set policy regarding pricing and let the athletic department work out specific costs.
The committee also has proposed a policy for the board to adopt requiring students to pay half the public price for both football and basketball tickets.
Leben said the proposed pricing policy was unjustified and drastic. Based on this year's public prices, $19 student tickets would cost $31 for a seven-game football season and $15 student tickets would cost $38.50 for a 14-game basketball season.
BASED ON NEXT year's prices, which have not been set officially, student tickets could cost $36 for football and $42 for basketball, Leben said.
He said that he had met with athletic officials and student board members and that a compromise could be worked out before the board met this afternoon.
The ticket policy committee, headed by David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, will meet at 2:30 p.m. today, before the board meeting, to finalize its recommendations.
Leben said that he met with Bob Marcum,
athletic director, yesterday, and that the two had
agreed to recommend to the committee at the 2:30 meeting that student football tickets be based on one-third the public cost rather than one-half.
"That would mean tickets cost about $25." Leben,局客. "And out of line we were with $25."租金是两年的。
If adopted, the policy could be put into effect gradually over the next few years, Leben said.
AMBLER SAID the recommendations would be thoroughly discussed at both meetings today before any decision was made.
"But phasing it in doesn't change the problem," he said. "It only lengthens the pain. Let's not accept something we take to think is fair just because it isn't going to take effect for two weeks."
He also said he believed some of the information used to back up the committee's recommendation was "unintentionally" misleading.
"When you talk about increases, students have to bear their fair share of the load," he said. "But a major reason that student income has declined is that we've paid off our debt that we agreed to finance (the east stadium addition of a 7,000-seat student section). Lo and behold, revenues did decrease, but they were supposed to."
Leben said the information did not include student contributions to women's athletics and distorted declining percentages of student contributions to the total athletic department budget.
He also said private contributions had increased to more than $1 million a year.
KU STUDENT FUNDING for athletics is comparable to other schools in the Big Eight Athletics.
Significant increases in funding of women's athletics have to be made, he said. Also, KU's football and basketball recruiting budgets are second to lowest in the Big Eight, and the capital improvements budget is the lowest in the Big Eight.
THE athletic department is in a difficult financial situation," he said. "It is not a desperate situation, but it is serious."

Kansan spurs Senate debate
The Senate approved the Finance and Auditing Committee's recommendations for seven of 13 districts.
The University Daily Kansan's $1 student activity fee increase request provoked a two-hour Student Senate debate before it was approved last night.
It also deferred a decision on the recommendation to remove the School of Architecture and Urban Design Student Council from the code until tomorrow's meeting. Six remaining recommendations will be considered Thursday and it is taken on the entire recommendations bill.
if the Senate approves the bill, it will ask Acting Chancellor Del Shank to increase the $11.10 activity fee to $14.52.
Three student senators voiced opposition to the Kansan's request. The Kansan receives $73,280 and receives its total allocation be $2 from $109,800. The Kansan now receives $2 from the activity fee.
Terri Fry, Kansan business manager,
defended the fee increase before the Senate.
"We've done things in an effort to keep even with rising costs," Fry said, "but if we raise our rates to our advertisers any more, we'll no longer be competitive."
Fry also answered questions from Steve McMurray, Transportation Board chairman, concerning the Kansan's cash carry-forward account.
"The Kansan is a half-a-million-dollar business," Fry said. "Our costs vary from month to month. Cash carry-forward is to maintain our costs."
