Political funding clause splits Senate committee
By KAREN SCHLUETER Staff Reporter
The addition of a Student Senate funding philosophy clause prohibiting the use of student activity fee money to espouse political beliefs on "highly controversial issues" split the Senate's Finance and Auditing Committee into two factions during its meeting yesterday.
The clause, if added to the Senate funding philosophy, would state that no money allocated by the Senate could be used by Senate-funded organizations to support, endorse or oppose any controversy or highly controversial issue.
A group of committee members, led by Rebecca Pyte, graduate student senator, opposed the clause on the grounds that the term "highly controversial issue" could not be accurately defined and that the clause would allow the Senate to control free speech at the University.
"We shouldn't serve as a filter to say who can and can't get money," Pyle said.
"You start controlling issues and free speech at this University, and it's no longer a university. Student Senate should not start controlling this."
DAN CUNNINGHAM, A11-
S scholarship hall Council speaker, senor
in favor of the clause. He said it would
not be in the best interests of the
student body to allow groups to spend
the energy for the support of political
beliefs.
"I disagree completely with the premise that you think we are controlling free speech," Cunningham we. We are just controlling student funds."
"How can we allocate money to groups, saying they are free to further their political philosophy, whether the people who are paying for it agree,
disagree, or don't give a damn about it?"
The clause was included in the original draft of last year's funding philosophy, but was deleted before the philosophy was approved by the Senate.
THE FUNDING philosophy is a resolution stating the criteria groups must meet to get activity fee money. It is also a guideline for the Senate treasurer for approving expenditures by Senate-funded groups.
According to Loren Busby, chairman of the Finance and Auditing Committee, the philosophy will not play an important role in this week's Senate Revenue Code hearings. He said the groups funded under the Revenue Code had already met most of the criteria stated by the philosophy.
The philosophy will play an important role in the regular budget hearings in March. During these hearings, groups will apply for a portion of the $48,450.50 allocated by the University for distribution to student organizations not funded under the Revenue Code.
ACCORDING TO last year's philosophy resolution, groups receiving activity fee money must be open to all students, must hold meetings open to the general public, must not use funds provided by Senate for the purpose of recruiting students or granting scholarships, must not step up trips to meet any academic standards and must elect academic at open meetings.
The committee also discussed reintroducing another clause into this year's philosophy that was deleted last year. This clause stipulated that all publications and announcements paid in English were written in, or translated into English.
Abbott said he hoped the committee would have the philosophy ready to present to the Senate at its meeting Feb.4.
KU, Legislature ironing out wrinkles in merit pay plan
By KATHY KASE Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas is working with the Kansas Legislature to implement the merit pay plan the way it was intended, according to Sherry Kopf, classified senator.
Kopf said the University's classified employees had been worried they would not receive pay raises equal to their abilities when the Legislature underfunded the pay plan for $300,000 last year.
To alleviate part of the $300,000 deficit and allow the pay plan to be implemented as it was intended, Gov John Carlin recently recommended to the Legislature that $173,101 in supplemental funding be allocated to KU for the last half of this fiscal year.
The underfunding resulted when the statewide pay plan's cost was underestimated by the Legislature, in director of personnel, said Friday.
"As a result, the shortage was distributed among state agencies," he said. "The University's share of the shortage was $300,000."
"When the budget was estimated over a year ago, the fringe-benefit rate was overestimated," he said. "We saved $10,000 in fringe benefits, which the governor allowed us to keep."
Carlin also has allowed the University to keep $10,000 it has saved, said Martin Jones, associate director of business affairs.
Lewin said that to offset the remaining $116,899 deficit, the University issued a policy statement demanding that universities hire, overlapping and promoting
"The policy stated that when there is turnover, there will be only one week's overlap," Lewin said. "It used to be we could get a month."
"The second provision is that when we have to fill in temporarily vacant positions, we hire student classified employees," Lewis said.
The overlap period occurs when the old employee trains the new one, he said.
"On promotions, employees were limited to one step, say from a Clerk II to a Clerk III. That's been rewritten to allow up to two steps."

Fraternities and sororites should promote inter-housing activities and faculty involvement to strengthen the strained Greek-non-Greek relationship. University advisers told representatives of Greek Endeavor '81 this weekend.
About 100 students, representing 11 sororities and 18 fraternities, discussed possible solutions to improve the Greek system. The students attended seminars at a one-night retreat in Linwood, Kan., led by Chayne Cognin, Ph.D., professor of computer adviser, Lydia Belot, Panhellenic Association adviser.
Greeks study reforms to buoy sagging image
"Greeks should try to involve more groups in activities, or invite faculty members to dinner or to speak at a meeting." Chanis said.
DAVID AMBLER, vice chancellor for student affairs, led a seminar explaining the University's relations with and expectations of the Greek system.
"The University does not own or operate fraternities and sororites, but without each other, I doubt if the system could end," he said. "The relationship is a two-way street both need to take advantage of the other."
Noting that the relationship between Greeks and non-Greeks is not positive, Ambler said fraternities and sororites should participate in exchange dimers with residence and scholarship halls or campus clubs. Clock Chalk and homecoming activities.
Nineteen percent of KU's undergraduate men live in fraternities and 10 percent of the undergraduate women live in sororites. The Greek system is growing stronger, Chapin said.

"Fraternities and sororites are expanding because more people understand the Greek system," he said. The new program, scheduled this week with another new fraternity."
"The future looks good." Belot said. "We are gaining in popularity, probably because of the trend toward conservation and traditional values.
PIKAPPA PFH fraternity announced plans to colonize at KU this spring. Theta Chi fraternity and Alpha Pi sorority were recolonized last year.
"Right now there's not a positive feeling between Greeks and non-Greeks, but we hope to remedy the problem."
Other guest speakers at the retreat included Ann Eversole, director of Student Organizations and Activities; Louis F. Michel, professor of architecture and urban design; George Lorey, Lawrence Counselling and Resource Center; Marsha Epstein, Headquarters Inc.; Barb Robe, Kansas State Greek Affairs adviser; and Andy Towson and Craig Bleih, Pi Kappa Phi fraternity national representatives.
