KU Athletics To Receive 12 Million
An athletic budget of approximately $2,000,000 was approved Tuesday by the University of Kansas Athletic Board. The board also determined that KU athletics would have a project deficit of some $59,000 for the fiscal year 1972-73.
Although there was much discussion about cutting the budget, Athletic Director Wade Stinson said Wednesday that no major cuts were planned.
Faculty representative Charles Oldfather was authorized to request that the Big Eight raise its general admission fee from a minimum of $8. to $7 per person.
Raising the price of football and basketball season tickets and student
charges.
The board figured that this would mean an extra $40,000 to $15,000 a game for the team.
Student ticket receipts are used to pay off Memorial Stadium seating additions indebtedness, but the board discussed the possibility of using any increase for the general operating fund instead of bond retirement at the stadium.
STINSON HAS BEEN authorized to use Memorial Stadium as a summer resort. The board also gave tentative approval to a request by the Kansas City Chiefs to use Memorial Stadium as a summer resort.
The Chiefs prefer Memorial Stadium to their present training camp, William Jewell College in Liberty, Mo., because it has Tartan Turf, the same artificial surface the new Arrowhead Stadium will have.
The board also gave John Novotty, athletic director and business manager a $1,500 annual salary hike to $17,500 per year.

AAUP to Debate Wage Bargaining
Members of the University of Kansas Chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) will meet tonight to discuss the possibility of actively campaigning for recognition as the faculty's collective bargaining agent.
Relations Office to Hold KU Traffic Plan Hearing
The budget for the proposal has already been passed by Keith L. Nitcher, vice-president of the firm.
The KU campus traffic reforms proposal, which includes changing Memorial Drive and Jayhawk Boulevard to one-way streets and the installation of parking meters on campus, will be discussed at an open meeting at 7:30 p.m. April 17 in the Kansas Union. The meeting is sponsored by University Relations.
Nitcher also said the budget as presented to his office was feasible and willing. "We were able to do that."
"Only the budget was cleared here, not the entire proposal. My part has been only a matter of approving the budget," Nitcher said Wednesday.
Robert Malinowsky, assistant director
of the KU libraries and chairman of the board, said the purpose of the open meeting would be to explain the parking problems, Malinsowky, Keith Lawton, director of facilities and planning; Mike Thomas, director of traffic and security, and Al Thomas, associate professor and urban design, will answer questions.
If everything appears to be favorable after the open hearing, the final proposal will be written and submitted to the chancellor. Malinowsky said.
Malinowski said thus far the response to the proposal had been favorable.
If it passes the chancellor's office, the proposal will go to the Board of Regents for
The KU AAUP will also conduct election of chapter officers at 7:30 tonight in the Council Room of the Kansas Union, according to J. Bunker Clark, associate professor of music history and president of the KU AAUP.
Public employees were given the option to have collective bargaining agents under the provisions of a new state law which went into effect March 1.
Charles Krider, assistant professor of business and chairman of the KU AAUP Committee N on Representation of Economic and Professional Interests, said Wednesday he would announce the results of a recent faculty poll taken to determine faculty desires for a collective bargaining team.
COMMITTEE N recently distributed a letter to all faculty discussing the Kansas collective bargaining law, the national AAUP position on collective bargaining and recent developments at other universities.
"The AAUP endorses collective bargaining as an appropriate means of faculty participation in university affairs," the letter stated.
The national AAUP adopted a policy to pursue collective bargaining in October 1971 "as a major additional way of realizing the Association's goals."
The letter stated that "once another organization is granted exclusive recognition for collective bargaining) the organization really restores its academic freedom and due process.
The Kansas Public Employees Act states that 10 per cent of a unit indicate an interest in being represented, then an election may be held by that unit. If the organization obtains a majority vote of those members voting, then the Public Affairs Board will certify that organization as the exclusive bargaining agent.
ACCORDING TO the letter, by the end of 1971 more than 30 four-year institutions had formal bargaining arrangements for faculty. Some of these institutions are coeditions (Bass and others) by either the National Education Association (NEA) or other unions.
The letter listed several options for the KU chapter. First, the letter said, steps could be taken to get the KU AAPU certified as the official bargaining agent.
Second, the chapter could oppose collective bargaining and third, the chapter could remain neutral, solely providing information on the issue.
IT ALSO INCLUDES provisions for coverage of accident injury charges and emergency medical home and office calls, the cost of prescribed contraceptive devices and outpatient diagnostic laboratory charges.
semi-private room and the average semi-
private room charge coverage for a private room with a $25 deductible for
room charges outside of Watkins Hospital.
"Fourth, the chapter can remain silent and hope, probably unrealistically, that national, trends do not always reach Kansas."
Birth control pills and insulin are paid under prescription drug coverage.
Youth Vote Defies Political Seers
By MARK BEDNER

Kansan Staff Writer
The perennial question during one election year has been: "What will the 25 million newly-enfranchised voters do in the new elections they choose candidates as a bloc, thus making them more force, or will they follow historical patterns and vote like their parents?"
The cost for each policy for one year with all the approved options will be $7.92 for the single policy, $155.64 for the two policies and $227.76 for the family policy.
Any attempt to answer these questions can be only speculative at best. Even professional political analysts seem to change their theories with each new primary. Richard Scammon and Ben Wattenberg, authors of "The Real Majesty," by many to be the candidate in annual or "72," reputed many of their peers following the primary victories of Alabama Governor George Wallace and South Dakota Senator George McGovern in Florida and Wisconsin.
The project, as Manning described it, was the culmination of a summer's work by Kansas leaders who joined with Kansas labor groups, political party leaders and state officials in sponsoring the state-wide effort to raise awareness about the process and participate in the political process.
Perhaps the best approach in determining how youth will vote and how much involvement can be expected from them between now and November is to ask those who have been involved in the past and plan to be involved in the future.
MIKE MANNING, Emporia graduate student, directed a voter registration project in Kansas this past fall called "Countdown 72."
Prior to the "Countdown 72" effort in Kansas, Manning had worked in California, Pennsylvania and New York universities, where he registration projects. He returned to KU following a conference for student leaders held in Chicago in early December.
Manning, who was a student body president at Emporia and later national vice president of the Associated Student Governments, said he thought Kansas was emerging as a state that offered many opportunities to young people who wanted political preferences and have a visible effect on their local governments.
Manning also said he was convinced that young people in Kansas were more inclined to work within the existing school system than to "constructive change." He said one of his biggest disappointments in working with voter registration projects throughout the country was the apathy and negativism among his students who had been active in 1968.
"STUDENTS ARE less arrogant about working with farm groups, laborers, veterans and even the old party regulars in some cases," Manning said. "The real issue is the new student understanding of what coalition politics can mean during 1972."
He said his experiences on different campuses showed George McGovern to be the leading choice among students as the next president. Manning also had he
Manning said he thought the issues would be the same for many students in 1972 as they were in 1968. But, he said, the problems he encountered to work within the two-part system
Since the Senate has approved the final insurance plan, no other options or deductibles will be deleted from the plan and instead to the student at fail enrollment.
"Young Kansans are unique," Manning said. "They are by and large more rational and I think, more responsible and positive. They also seem to have a better chance of being one of honesty in politics, regardless of their party or political preference."
met with an "amazing amount of support" for the avowed non-candidate, Sen. Rand Paul.
Manning said students and young working people in Kansas compared favorably to those students outside the Midwest.
HAVING TRAVELED extensively with many presidential candidates, who spoke at the registration竿颁 sponsored by the Associated Student Governments, he has observed first hand the making of presidents' comments on the process by which the political party decide on their front runner, and the process as it related to 1972.
Manning said the Democratic party's nomination was "obviously another thing entirely." He said the race was truly wide and that it would present developments in the recent primaries.
"I WAS TOLD that Muskie intends to withdraw as an adult candidate if he loses in Pennsylvania," Manning said. "Consequently, the continued gains of George McGovern and a primary win by Humphrey would suggest their being the front runners going into the conventions. But I can force the possibility of the
"The Republican nomination is a given," Manning said. "There will be no honest challenge to Richard Nixon's candidacy now that McCloskey has withdrawn. There is some question as to whether the Republicans will nominate the new Nixon. It's my understanding that both will be present in San Diego and that one will be available for the nomination."
convention being deadlocked over these two candidates. It would probably lead to the emergence of a compromise candidate or to both wings of the party in that case."
Manning said the issues would have a greater impact on this year's election than in previous years because of increased awareness in the country by all groups.
DR. SCHWELGER SAID a low deductible or full coverage maternity benefits option would have been too expensive and it was important to find some common policy that could be afforded by as many students as possible.
Dr. Raymond Schwegler, director of Watkins Hospital and adviser to the subcommittee, said the subcommittee had tried to work with the most for the dollar and included as many of the options requested by the students as possible and yet still could be kept in a position.
Dr. Schwiegler said that the number of students and student dependents that had chosen his program had a policy was not available so there were no estimates of the number of persons who might be taking advantage of the university benefits option this year or next year.
Gene Morris, Stillwater, Oka., graduate student, said he had married students from 43 separate households concerning the maternity benefits option.
He said that 23 persons wanted some maternity benefits above the $600 deductible recommended by the subcommittee. He said that very few favored full coverage because it was too expensive.
IT TOOK the Senate more than an hour to approve 1972-73 committee appointments recommended by the Committee Board because two of the committee members submitted a minority report that required for member changes on three committees.
Board members Molly Laffin, Lawrence senior, and Richard Mackenzie, chairperson, sponsored changes for "representative" purposes in the Finance and Auditing Committee, Judiciary Committee and Senate Committee that were eventually approved by the board.
They said the proposed Union Operating Board was "dominated by SUA jocks" and did not represent minority groups. Mackenzie also attacked the food service in the Kansas Union during an appeal he Senate members to elect him to the board.
"I've been to other universities, numerous other universities, and this has got to be the worst food service I've ever seen," Mackenzie said.
MACKENZIE WAS attacked for using his position on the Committee Board in an unsuccessful attempt to be named a member of the Union Operating Board when the committees were selected last Saturday.
Mackenzie replied that previous members of the operating board had often been Committee Board members and he had openly stated his desire to be a member of the Union Operating Board campaigning for the Committee Board.
By a 36-35 roll call vote the Senate approved the minority report on the operating board and replaced Dave Murtin, Wichita sophomore, and Dave Mackenzie and Susan White, Overland Park sophomore.
The Judiciary Committee was changed after Laflin criticized its ethnic justice policies.
"The fact that there were only two women on the Judiciary and no blacks or Caucasians were present," he said.
THE SENATE approved as members Marion Leonard, Kansas City, Ks. freshman, Elizabeth Gutierrez, Kansas City, Mo., senior; Gary Jackson, Topeka second year law student, and Kristine Hall, Lawrence first year law student, in place of Van Spake, Shawnee Mission junior; Dave Agazarian, Lawrence second year law student, and Don Kinney, Leewood sophomore.
Jo Durant, Tulsa graduate student, and Leroy McDermott, Lawrence graduate student, were added to the Finance and Auditing Committee.
The Senate approved a line item change in the KU Reclamation Center allocation that will allow the center to use $*$00 salaries to rent a warehouse until July 1.
Vote to Test War Powers Of President
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate passed a bill to temporarily unilin-
tual the war powers of the President.
It defeated 56 to 23 a substitute proposed by Sen. J. Glen Beall Jr., R-Md., to appoint a 24-member national commission making roles of Congress and the President.
The test was the second in two days indicating majority Senate support for legislation designed to implement the constitution, authority of Congress alone to declare war.
On Tuesday, the Senate turned down 60-26 a motion to send the bill to its own Judiciary Committee for 45 days to review its constitutionality.
A final Senate vote on the bill was set for 1:30 p.m. EST today.
The bill would limit the President's use of the armed forces to emergency defense against attack or threat of attack or rescue of Americans endangered abroad, and then only for 30 days unless Congress consented.
