Franklin
From page 1
Kansas governor 1974 through 1978, asked Franklin to submit a resume for the position, which he did. A month later, the governor asked to see him, Franklin said.
THE GOVERNOR told Franklin he wanted to appoint him to the Receits, Franklin said.
Franklin's mind is still spinning from all that has happened to him.
"That's how it happened," Franklin said. "There was no politicking, no real concerted effort on my part to get this position. Things have just fallen in place for me throughout my life and I have taken advantage of them when they have."
"I have no goals," he said. "Too much has happened to me too quickily."
ERRAFS ANOTHER REASON Franklin is successful is because he is a black in an area of the country that has very few black leaders, he said.
"You don't find a lot of black leaders in the Midwest, so there are more opportunities available to black people here," he said. "You have to be able to stand by yourself. You have to put yourself in the path of opportunities and encourage your life."
Franklin has also found strength in religion.
"It is difficult to relate exactly what it means to me because you hear so much about borneign experience and those kinds of things have made us afraid. "Religion is a very personal thing to me."
"Religion has told to me that God created man in his own image," Franklin said. "And, if He created man, He created all men at the same level of intellect."
FRANKLIN SAID that his religious base gave added inspiration to go out and deal with people.
the Evangelist Temple Church of God in Christ in Kansas City, Kan., where he lives.
A strong believer in equal rights as well, Franklin speaks without anger about discrimination. He said he had accepted the reality of it.
"For several years what we have tried to do in our society is legalisate human relations and you can't do that," he said. "I just try to deal with racism as it is. It is just ininute in some people."
Franklin said despite some people's racial attitudes and his young age, he thought he was just as effective as the other members of the Regents.
"Initially, there were some apprehensive people both on the Board and outside of the Board," he said. "They didn't quite know what kind of a race I would have."
FRANKLIN SAID being chosen as chairman of the Regents was one of the most personally rewarding things that had happened to him, and it showed him he could be effective as a Regent.
"When I was elected (as chairman) I felt a sense of victory," he said. "It told me that I had gained some friends and some support. People were no longer perceive me as a threat. I was somebody they could work with and that they would trust."
Along with victory, though, has come some disappointment. He said there were times he had thought of guilting.
"Being a celebrity doesn't matter," he said.
"What matters is being effective. And sometimes I feel if I may not be effective, and put to resign or quit. Or, I will say what's the use.
"In anything you do there comes a time when you evaluate your life and ask yourself if you are being effective, am I doing things that are really productive," Franklin said. "That's just where I lie."
"When you see the needs of the people around you, and they are looking for some kind of support or some kind of inspiration and they want to learn, we need that motivation of motivates you to go going." Franklin said.
get sometimes. I want to make sure I am making a contribution."
FRANKLIN SAID it was at this point that he depended on his wife and friends for inspiration.
He said he was also motivated by working with students on issues that are important to them, although they sometimes put their energy into the wrong issues.
"I think young people should be involved in government because we are moving swiftly to a younger age in all aspects of life. Young people are in key decision-making roles, and I think that is good."
YOUNG PEOPLE, Franklin said, have energy, time, persistence and perseverance. They also are not weighted down with dues owed to certain people.
"They can come in and get the job done," he said.
"That whole area (SAC) has been frustrating to me from the standpoint that I don't think the students have really taken advantage of it." Franklin said. "There is a wealth of opportunity in there terms of them influencing the Board but they have not used it."
However, Franklin complained about the lack of effort of the student advisory committee to the Regents, a committee Franklin organized while still at K-Slate.
Franklin spoke about beer and the drinking age, issues that both SAC and ASK had a lot to do with it.
"The year I was on the SAC, the student body president at K-State was really strong about having beer in the student union," Franklin said. "When you talk about teacher salaries, tenure,
or anything that relates to universities, beer comes on the table. You can go down to the university and buy a beer.
WHAT SHOULD BE first in the students' minds is how they can effectively influence the Regents, Franklin said. He said he was opposed to a student serving on the Regents because the SAC membership had not worked hard to make SAC a strong, viable force.
"I do not feel one student can have an impact on nine members of the Board of Regents," Franklin said. "I think the efforts of six student teachers can be far more effective than one student."

Classified
Arnstrong said that classified employees' attendance at committee and council meetings would depend upon the employee's supervisors. He said he thought that most supervisors would be supportive of an employee's involvement with University government.
"It's up to the supervisors whether to allow classified employees to spend 3-4 hours a week working with a committee," Armstrong said. "It's important as long as it was nothing that represented the unit."
Cupp said that classified employees' part-
nership governance would not disrupt their performance on the job.
ARMSTRONG SAID that only employees who could fulfill their job and representative responsibilities would be chosen as Classified Senate representatives.
Franklin, whose term is up in 1982, said he had not decided whether to serve again. The job is sometimes a grind, he said, and places many demands on his time.
"I am at my best when I am being pulled by all of those demands," Franklin said. "I forces me to decide what I want to do and when I want to do that, because a better person when you have to make decisions.
"Ultimately, what I have learned, and what the other members of the Board have learned, is that we can have differences of opinion but we can communicate and work together."
Budget
From page 1
"We all know that with inflation at 12 to 13 percent, even the governor's recommendation of an 8 percent pay increase would mean faculty would receive a cut in purchasing power," he said.
suggestions to be a hit list, said it was premature to guess what might happen. But he said the Regents hopped the Legislature would not cut too deeply into its budget.
Conard, a former chairman of the House Ways Means Committee, said he knew what the committee was doing.
"They are trying to pick up something like $15 million, and they are going to be looking at the money."
Conard said the lawnmakers would be considering those cuts with the goal of making as little waste as possible.
