Legislators Criticize State Budget By BRAD AVERY Kansan Staff Writer The problems of how to raise and spend money have traditionally been the primary concerns of the Kansas Legislature, and the current session will be no exception, according to area legislators. Governor Robert Decking has proposed a $990 million budget, an increase of $77 million over the budget approved by the legislature last year. But State House Speaker John McCarthy of the 39th district thought there were deficiencies in the governor's proposals. "The BUDGET ISN'T adequate in several areas. For instance, there haven't been any capital improvements in the state for quite a while. The current budget is seriously lacking in this area. We probably won't have any improvements until some governor has the courage to raise the necessary money." he said. Vogel wasn't satisfied with Docking's $33.1 million proposal for KU either, and was hopeful the legislature would exceed that amount. "It's a little early to tell whether the legislature will go above the governor's proposals. But there's been a great deal of pressure on behalf of higher education, and I think the legislature recognizes the needs of higher education," he said. COMMENTING ON POSSIBLE methods of raising additional funds for the state, Vogel said he favored State Representative Shelly Smith's, R-IMMERGENCE, to raise the sales tax to 4% per cent, but he didn't think Smith's idea had much time. "It won't go very far because the governor has already vowed to veto it, and I don't think we have the power to override his veto. The governor seems to think that the sales tax question should be left up to the individual communities. That solution isn't fair because if you take a county like Jefferson, where there aren't many shopping centers, all the sales tax would be spent in Topeka or Lawrence. A county like that in Topeka not get anything back," he said. VOGEL THOUGHT THAT the House and the Senate would have to cooperate more in order to come up with measures that would raise additional revenues and at the same time help lower local property taxes. "This year we have to come up with a new formula for funding schools, and we'll be using it," Morris Kay said in going to move forward again. "Vogel said, Morris Kay, R-Lawrence, representative of the 40th district, also found the budget at least partially inadequate. “It's hard to tell at this point what all the deficient areas of the budget are because we haven't completed the budget hearings. But an area that is definitely hurting is the educational building fund. The Docking budget recommends that only one half of all employees present, and there are several state universities that need more space,” Kay said. KAY THOUGHT THAT the legislature would like to up Docking's requests for KU and other state universities, but he cautioned that it would depend on whether a compromise could be worked out with the department over the raising of new revenues. 1 "think the legislature would like to do more, but right now we just don't have the power" "I think we can create a better air of cooperation between us and the Governor. This should lead to progress in areas like the no-fault insurance issue, highway beautification and a new highway program." Kay said. Kay thought that the money issue would continue to be the legislature's biggest stumbling block, but he foresaw definite progress in other areas. THE MONEY ISSUE was also the prime concern of State Senator Arden Booth who joined with his fellow Lawrence legislators in criticizing Dockin's budget proposals. "There are big gaps in the governor's budget and I can't buy his revenue proposals, especially the one which calls for the elimination of the federal income tax exemption on the state income tax form. He also didn't line item his budget proposals but which means that his budget proposals do not match up with his revenue measures," he said. Booth's biggest concern with the KU budget was the one per cent salary increase given the unclassified university in research and the geological extension. Ellsworth Men Petition To Retain Dorm Rules Seek Open Hours, Coed Visits By GARY NEIL PETERSON Alderson explained the reasons for the Kansan Staff Writer Kendall said that following the incidents in October, residents of Eldworth were told they would be granted the right to express pleasure and displeasure, as well as give advice and counsel, in any policy decisions that should arise in the future. Eleven residents of Eldsworth man Monday afternoon presented Donald K. Alderson, dean of men, with petitions requesting that the present policies be amended 34 open hours and coeducational floors be retained for next year. The gravences of the residents stem one of concern that students were not made aware of the discussion of the proposed policy changes. Student members of the search Residents found out about the changes on Jan. 9 after reading the application for hall residence for the next year. Ellen was a student who did not present at the decision-making meetings. Search Committee Named To Seek Vice Chancellors Policies for next year were changed prior to the end of last semester and before he informed the changes were made by an informed make up of Dean Adlermia; Emily Taylor, dean of women; William Bailour, vice president of affairs; and J. J. Wilson, director of human resources. James Kendall, Rockford, Ill., sophomore, spokesman at the meeting, said that the petition contained the signatures of about 55 per cent of the residents of Ellsworth. Kendall said that the petitions were started Saturday earlier time and were available for signing Sunday and Monday at the moon lunch periods. Francis Heller will step down this summer as vice chancellor for academic affairs, leaving that post vacant. Heller will become the Roy A. Roberts a position professor of political science, a position vacant since the spring of 1970. A 16-member student-faculty committee has been formed to make recommendations for the appointment of two new vice chancellors for KU, Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. announced Friday. committee are David Miller, Eudora senior and KU student body president; Merton Olds, Topeka graduate student; Dennis Embery, Lawrence senior. The latter post is a new one which has been created in part due to a decentralization of KU's graduate school to the University's 11 other schools. The committee, headed by Ronald Calgaard, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, will make recommendations for the posts of vice chancellor for academic affairs and vice chancellor for research and graduate studies. Faculty members in addition to Calgaird are Beverlee Anderson, assistant professor of biochemistry Carr, associate professor of biochemistry at the KU Medical Center; David Heron, director of University libraries; Robert professor of systematics and ecology; Frances Horowitz, chairman of the department of human development; Charles Michener, professor of entomology; James Rosser, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs; Harold Rosson, professor of chemical and petroleum engineering; Dale Scannell, Dean of School of Education; Milton Schwartz, professor of management; George Waggoner, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; and George Worth, chairman of the department of English. policy changes as repercussions trou- several incidents at Elaworth last week. The new policy will close the hall to non- residents from midnight to 7 a.m. Monday through Friday and 1 a.m. to 7 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. The other policy change concerns the coeducational status of the hall. Ellsworth Hall now has men and women students living on the same floors, divided only by the floor lounge. Next year, however, the policy says that the men students shall live on the lower floors and the women on the top. Ellsworth has ten floors. Ellsworth Hall living rates will also increase $65, a 7.2 per cent increase. Alderson, said the increase was to cover inflationary costs. So far these policy changes affect only Elsworth Hall. Ellsworth's ad hoc committee, after hearing questions answered by Alderson, The first proposal was to retain the present policies through next year and the second was to have a 20 per cent student representation on the four man housing board. While Alderson did not say he reequired the proposals, he did say that the first proposal would probably be rejected when he presented it for discussion at a meeting with the governor. Alderson stated his reason for the probable denial to the first proposal as being that about 300 applications and information for residence in Ellsworth and the other state-owned residence halls for next year had been out with the policy change included. However, he said that the second proposal would receive consideration and support. Alderson told the ad hoc committee that they should confer with members of the Associated Union of Residence Halls (AURH) to work out the details of who should represent the residence halls on the board of housing. Miller Proposes $75,200 For Work at Field House By ROBIN JEAN GROOM Kansan Staff Writer David G. Miller, student body president, submitted a recommendation that the Student Senate approve and send to the student body for ratification a proposal to use Allen Field House for a recreational sports facility for University of Kansas students and staff, at a news conference on Monday. The athletic department is currently planning to put a new tartan surface on the floor, except for the space at the north end, where the approximate $160,000 according to Miller. Miller's proposal would place tartan surface at the north end. My installation of private dealers in the north and south ends of the fieldhouse, the floor space could be used for four east-west multi-purpose courts. SURFACE AT THE NORTH end, three sets of basketball goals and lines painted on the surface under the bleachers for play comprise the additions in Miller's proposal and he estimated that the cost would be $75,200. The floor plan was suggested to Miller by the physical education department and the school board. MILLER HAS REJECTED both of these proposals and will ask that the Student is agreeable to the athletic option. Miller received two proposals for funding from the University to take a loan from the Endowment Association to be paid back by a student fee for over a two or three year period. The student will be forced to finance it through the student activity funds. Senate and the student body authorize petitioning the Endowment Association and the athletic department to add the cost (not to exceed $0,000) to the current endowment loan for the expansion of east stadium. "In 1966," Miller explained Monday night, "the athletic department borrowed funds to expand the east side of Memorial Stadium. The loan is repaid through collections of the $5.00 and $4.00 student season football and basketball tickets. "Based on recent ticket sales I would担保 the loan 'be repaid in 1977 either way.'" I will use italics for emphasis. 1. 'Therefore believe an additional loan in amount could be repaid as well by the bank.' MILLER HANDED OUT a financial report from the Kansas Union management on the Kansas Union Bookstore. The report showed that bookstore profits will decline in the next few years. Therefore, the bookstore might be unable to support refunds and or the scholarship program for urban scholars at the present levels. Miller's recommendation is to set up a special committee comprised of members of the Finance and Auditing Committee and the Student Services Committee to study the report and make recommendations. ANOTHER PROPOSAL THAT MILLER will suggest at the meeting Wednesday night is that candidates for Student Senate file three weeks before elections instead of two weeks before elections in order to set up the computer programming. Regents Propose Salary Increases By JOYCE NEERMAN Kansan Staff Writer The Board of Regents Friday took action to raise the salaries of university classified employees and agreed that they must act quickly in proceeding with a major expansion of the University of Kansas Medical Center. The board agreed to ask for a supplemental appropriation of $211,892 from the present legislative session to give a one-step salary increase to classified employees at the six state colleges and universities. The board also agreed to seek an additional $222,487 to provide a corresponding raise effective March 1, 2009. The raise, if granted by the legislature, would be effective March 1 of this year. Virtually no classified employee at five or six years has employed have a raise since November 1970. GOV. ROBERT DOCKING requested in his budget message a 5 per cent raise in educational programs at the colleges and universities, but his proposal for faculty in extension and research was only a 1 per raise, the same that he proposed last year. Phil Arnold, budget officer for the board, told the board that an additional $219,608 would be needed to provide a 5 per cent salary increase for all unclassified employees in the governor's budget for fiscal 1973. Dr. William O. Rieke, vice-chancellor for health affairs, unveiled to the board detailed plans for the future expansion of the Medical Center which includes a new hospital facility and a new basic science teaching building. The expansion would allow entering medical classes to increase in education, and provide better and increased patient care services, supplementing or replacing present facilities. THE BASIC SCIENCE building is estimated to cost $2,583,100, if work is performed by a contractor the addition would be connected with the existing clinical facilities and is estimated to cost $4,944,000. The project would also include remodeling of other facilities at the premises. The clinical facility addition would provide an additional 280 patient beds and would include the newly created department of radiation therapy, emergency surgery, surgical facilities, laboratories, and other medical services. The board agreed that the best way to finance the project would be through the issuance of bonds. finance the bond debt from their professional earnings, and that additional financing of the bond debt could come from bonds and medical center hospital revenue. REGENT HENRY BUBB of Topeka said that the bonds should be issued within the next six months because the current interest rate for such bonds was favorable. Rieke said that department chairmen at the medical center had offered to help Brikey flew to Washington D.C. Friday afternoon to seek additional sources of information. Purchase of a facility adjacent to the medical center by the KU Endowment Association was also announced by Rieke. The facility, formerly a motel and then a nursing home, will become the department of family practice, following remodeling and renovation. THE REGENTS WILL DISCUSS financing of the project Feb. 2 in Topea, following legislative hearings on the fiscal 1973 budgets for the six state schools. "THE CONCEPT OF the traditional medical dean who has complete authority for many functions is being questioned nationwide," Rieke said. "Our proposal divides the functions of the traditional dean into several key areas and creates full deanships with decision making capability for each of them." He said, "Every year we delay on this project, it costs 10 per cent more." Rioke also presented to the board a major organization of administrative staff. The proposal creates two new deanships and a new staff position of assistant to the Rieke said one new person, Chester Rempson, presently of the University of Chicago faculty, would join the medical center staff March 1 as an assistant vice-canceller. The two new deans will be assumed by present faculty members. Dr. Kernit E. Krantz was named dean of clinical services in addition to his duties as professor and chairman of gynecology and obstetrics. Krantz has been in his present position for nearly 13 years. Dr. Dante G. Scarpell, professor and chairman of the department, a member of faculties and academic affairs, as additional duties. UNDER THE NEW organization, Dr. Russell C. Mills, presently associate dean, becomes associate vice-chancellor for facilities and program and resource management at the medical school faculty since 1946, has been in administrative positions since 1962. J. Howard Feldmann, currently assistant to the vice-chancellor for budgetary affairs, becomes assistant vice-chancellor for fiscal and personnel coordination. Feldmann has been at the medical center since 1958. Supporting units, reporting directly to the vice-chancellor include computation services, KU Endowment Association and Information Services and the administrative unit See REGENTS on Page 3 JAMES C.
