University Budget Having Bad Year
(Editor's note: This article is the first m a s i e series dealing with major campus or local universities.)

Last-minute budget cuts by the 1970-71 Kansas Legislature made an already deflated KU budget even weaker. And former complaints that highpaid administrators did not share the money pay increases were over-shadowed when their payroll increases there would be no faculty increases at all.
Francis  Heller, vice-chancellor for
"From the Presidential Fact Finding Commission to Justice in the Ghetto—Can We Bridge the Gap?" is the title of the speech that A. Leon Higginson Jr., federal judge on the U.S. Supreme Court, 30 a.m., Friday in the University Theatre. His speech is part of the Vickers Lecture series.
Judge Plans KU Speech
When Higginbotham was sworn in as a United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on Jan. 6, 1964, he became the youngest person to be appointed a Federal District Judge within the last 30 years. On Sep. 25, 1962, he was nominated by President John F. Kennedy for a seven-year term as a Commissioner for the Federal Court, making him the first black to be a member of any Federal Regulatory Agency and the youngest person to be named a Commissioner to the Federal Trade Commission.
Hingibhoamer was vice chairman of the Eisenhower Presidential Commission on Violence. He issued the minority report which stated that a moratorium should be put on the fact-finding commissions until the ones that had been done were studied thoroughly.
academic affairs, said KU's operating budget in general revenue, or allocations from the state, was cut by $130,148. The fiscal year 1971 totaled $152 million for fiscal year 1972 it would be $23,891,818.
The operating budget in general use funds consists of revenue allocations from the state plus collections from student fees. For fiscal year 1971 the total operating budget was $31,313,337, and for fiscal year 1972 it is set at $31,153,209.
The expected figure for 1972 is based on an anticipated increase of 653 students, Heller said. If more than that number enrolled, the excess fees would go into the state treasury, but if less than that number returned, if less than that number enrolled would be faced with a deficit, he said.
KU's administration expected 18,376 last fall but only 17,947 enrolled, 429 short. The actual enrollment represented an increase of 371 over the previous fall's enrollment of 17,576, but was 2.3 per cent below expectations.
Heller said that KU's budget for the increased number of students allowed a certain number of positions to be added and that 40 had been authorized. Since the number of students did not reach the expected level, we decided to have increased this year's allocations. And instead of having added positions, faculty positions were cut by 12 and classified personnel by 4.
In a late attempt to equalize college and university budget cuts, the Legislature increased the budgets at three state schools, Kansas State University, Wichita State University and Fort Hays State College, but further cut budgets at KU, Emporia and Pittsburg.
Emperor and Pittsburgh were decreasing in enrollment, and the other four schools were increasing. But since KU had overestimated its enrollment and growth in this year's budget, there was a built-in growth factor, Cancellor E. Laurence Chalpers Jr., said.
Kansas State, Wichita State, and Fort Hays State had not made such an overestimation, said Larry A. McCormick.

Senate Finishes Budget

committee of the board.
"The Senate used a legislative trick to rip off the athletic department allocation without due consideration of the consequences," Slaughter said, "and I'm strongly against the Senate's actions in that it was not a fair consideration by any means and was not in accordance with the students desires on the referendum."
And JAN KESSINGER Kansan Staff Writers
Crosby Crosby, Las Vegas senior, and Jerry Slaughter, Salina junior, members of the Finance and Auditing Committee, voiced opposition to Smito's proposal, but the motion passed by a substantial margin on a roll call vote.
BRAD SMOOT, Sterling junior, moved to accept the recommendations on all the minor sports clubs provided that $10,000 was cut from the proposed allocation of $150,000 to the athletic department. The motion raised a brief discussion on the Senate floor including the request to reduce the allocation to the athletic department by $29,000, which was defeated.
John Mize, Salma junior, moved to consider the budget as a whole, and not vote on each allocation separately as had been previously decided by the Senate. The motion passed.
The Student Senate voted early this morning to accept a Student Activity Fee allocation of $88,257.17 to the various student organizations requesting funds from the university for approval of this adjective for the next fiscal year (a total of $111,592.82 in the contingency fund).
The Senate considered the allocation proposal to the athletic department last. It voted to consider the recommendations of the Finance and Auditing Committee on the short clubs just previous to consideration of the athletic department allocation.
Minor Changes Made
Girl Arrested As Witness In Capitol Bombing Case
Even after the disclosures in court here, U.S. Attorney Stitkin said he would form nor deny any speculation about proceeding against the grand jury. The proceedings are secret.
WASHINGTON (UPH) - The first break in the bombing of the U.S. Capitol two months ago came Wednesday with the disclosure that blonde, 19-year-old antwar protest organizer, Leslie Bacon, had been arrested as a material witness and possible suspect.
The government had called a grand jury to look into the bombing of the Capitol that took place during the U.S.-backed South Vietnamese operation inside Laos.
But in arguing against Miss Bacon's appeal for lower bail, the government said that U.S. Attorney Stin Pitkin issued the affidavit for Miss Bacon's arrest as a material witness.
The government did not make clear why the grand jury had been empaired in Seattle and Philip Hirschman, a lawyer for the antiwar groups now holding their "spring offensive" in Washington, they could have gone to Honolulu or Fitchbanks, but they only went as far as Seattle.
He based his case in part on information from the informer "S1," whom the government said worked for an investigating agency other than the FBI.
The attorney told reporters he was notified at 10:15 a.m. Tuesday while negotiating for demonstration permits in the office of the FBI and the National Association of Harlington Wood that the FBI had a warrant
for Miss Bacon
Miss Bacon, who subsequently was identified as being active in the "May Day Collective," the group that is sponsoring the May 7 civil disobedience demonstrations in court in a purple knopf kit, beads, a maroon maxisket and brown suede jacket.
"We told her to stay away from the FBI and we would make arrangements for her to surrender." he said "She got scared when she was stalked. She went up on the roof and was arrested."
She alternately ran her fingers through her long, straight hair or played with the beads on her fingers.
Before the hearing began, Miss Bacon's mother, John W. Bacon, said in California that her daughter denied in a phone call that she had any association with the Capitol bombers and she "has never told me a lie."
She beard Judge John J. Sirica, at the end of an hour-long debate, declare that he thought the $100,000 bond set by Federal Justice H. Boltid in Seattle was fair and proper.
Miss Bacon was arrested at 1751 Layer Place which is just a few doors away from where Kathy Wilkerson, now wanted as a fugitive by the FBI on bomb charges, lived in Washington when she worked with the FBI for a Democratic Society until 1969.

ministrative fund $2,700 for salaries for the three student members of SenEx and $750 for the chairman of StudEx. The final outcome of the administration on salaries for Senate administrative positions was determined in the salaries for the positions of secretary and chairman of StudEx. The Senate approved the student SenEx members and increased the salary to the vice-president of the Senate by $25 a month.
Dave Aubrey, Hutchinson graduate student, moved to pay each of the chairmen of the seven standing committees $25 a month, defeated. The Senate discussed possible delistitions and the student SenEx members in the future, because several senators expressed the belief that it was improper for certain administrative positions of the Senate to be paid positions.
The budget approved by the Student Senate has been approved to approve the chancellor and the Rooms.

Chalmers Flays Overuse Of Student Referendums
BY GAYLE TRIGG
Kansan Staff Writer
Three hours of debate, he said, could not possibly be presented to the student body, and if a voter was not at the meeting, he doubted that he could cast a valid vote.
He also criticized this referendum specifically, saying that no one could have known all the arguments and reasons for it, even though the Senate had hastened for three hours.
ATLANTA - Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. said Wednesday night that 'other frequent use of referrendum on the ballot is an activity fee as it is now handed out.'
Chalmers said he had not opposed the referendum on this issue prior to the vote because he had thought that the athletic fee might have been "a fluke." But, the commissioner, a senate action, Chalmers said, would probably mean an end to referendums on campus.
Chalmers was reached by phone in Atlanta, where he had joined an alumni group.
The Chancellor said that in representative government a referendum was designed to be used primarily to decide the authority of the governing body, not to judge every action it takes.
The Chancellor criticized the Kansan, too. He said that the paper could not have been impartial because part of its fee allocation was at stake. He made the comment referring to the report, not the content or coverage of events, because he had not seen the Kansan all week.
He likened the practice of putting every student senate action to a vote to one where the state legislature would put every tax issue before the poets—an outpressed bea'd. he said
He said that two monetary issues had been submitted to the students this year and that both had failed because most individuals against any issue that costs them money.
His secretary read him some headlines and editorial parts of the paper over the phone.
In general, the Chancellor said he was happy with the spirit of the referendum. But he added that he was opposed to students' paying for more than they should.
Chalmers and be doubted that the Karans could have stayed out of the controversy anyway, but he thought that the threat to the insurrection was a location was a factor in editorial decisions.
He said that he had been in touch with Gov. backings office during the day and that "if I got a letter from you, it would be great."
item veto of the budget cut of $130,148, if it is judged permissible by the attorney general." Chalmers explained that the item concerning legislative cut was embedded in a parliamentary concurring other items, which might prevent the Governor from being able "veloit it."

Miller Says Legislature Failed KU
Failure of the state government to support higher education in Kansas was the topic of a brief prepared statement read Wednesday at the Kansas State University by Dave Miller, student body president.
Miller said the students, faculty and administration were "deeply troubled" by the failure of the state legislature to provide adequate operating funds for KU.
"We have watched helplessly as our elected state officials have used education and its resources to save lives."
William C. Jacoby, Wichita junior, representing students who opposed the referendum told reporters that he opposed it because he thought the state legislature and not the students should bear the financial burden of operation of the university. He also said they were "many other areas besides faculty salaries which are underfunded."
"The state legislature has not met the needs of the University," Miller said. "The governor has not made public any intentions to rectify this error."
Jacobi urged the people of the state to consider the actions of the 1971 legislature and suggested that students from all state universities attend classes on campus and lobby the state legislature next year.
Miller said the legislature and the governor, "Both have stood by quietly and waited for the students to bear this burden of financial support. The students have said no. It is now up to the governor to use his power of law that it needs to continue to grow and to prosper, even to maintain its current level of activity."
Engineering Dean Sees Changes in Field
(Editor's note: This story is one in a series on the various units and administrates at KU.)
MARTHA MANGELSD
Kansan Staff Writer
William Smith. The name is about as common as one can get. And by his own admittance, "I don't suppose my life is that much to bore about. I really haven't done that much."
But the dean of the school of engineering doesn't top there. There is more to him.
"You know though," he said, "I've enjoyed my life and don't really regret any of it. I feel like I'm doing the best I can."
Despite the common name, a shirt with a two-inch wide collar, an early sixties narrow black tie and the Sir Walter Raleigh pipe tobacco he smokes, the dean of the School of Engineering is more than just an ordinary guy.
He's given up trying to keep up with both the fiction market and his job. His reading, other than engineering literature, consists mainly of rereading Shakespeare from his
wife's complete collection.
"I guess you might say my language studies have been sort of a potopourfi of five," he said. "I learned Latin in high school and took German in college. Back in the days when I was going for my PhD, you had to pass foreign exercise in French two different foreign languages to and learn myself. French later I studied Russian and Spanish on my own, too."
Smith maintains reading proficiency in five foreign languages. Several of the problematic engineering works on his bookshelf are foreign writings.
"I FELT RIGHT at home among the engineers in Bengalota, he said." I would like to live a world over. Oh, there are different cultural characteristics and racial situations, but

people are people."
Smith finished his undergraduate work at the University of Minnesota in 1936. Those were the years before job recruiters or independent job hunter form a formidable list.
"Of course I didn't have a car, but there was plenty of fun. We didn't have a lot of material things in those days, but we didn't expect it and we didn't expect people to entertain us. We got more of a kick out of the simpler things in life."
"Before that summer was out," Smith said, "one of my professors offered me a job teaching Ibab and grading papers. I lived at $40.68 a month and worked on my masters."
The job situation was about the same everywhere during those years. Smith had worked in his father's store for $60 a month, and after receiving his Master's from Minnesota, he worked at Commonwealth Company, a Chicago electric company.
SMITH WENT into the Navy during World War II. He sat out the war at the Naval Inspection and Supply Depot in Schenectady, New York.
Based on a bit broader personal experience than many of today's young war critics, Smith said that U.S. involvement in Vietnam had been an obvious mistake.
"Back as far as Mac Arthur we were told we should never get into a land war in Asia. There seems to be fairly great unanimity that we get out now, but exactly how to do it, I guess is the problem. "Pearl Harbor united this country a quarter of an century ago," he said. "From the beginning, we were really united on the Vietnam war."
He paused a moment.
"A university, this University," he emphasized, "has got to remain a marketplace for free ideas and free thinking. These anti-war demonstrations and others, if they're all the same bounds, are alright. They're really nothing that new, nor are the anti-military feelings.
Smath said that this generation's trend was having a minor effect on his field.
See DEAN Page 7
"WHEN I WAS at Minnesota there were strong anti-militarism feelings. The VFW was organized and was verbally against entering the war. In October of 41, after the first year of selective service, the Senate vowed to exonerate it by the great majority of one vote."
"I can remember when I was a teenager, a famous judge in Denver came out in favor of trial marriages. We even considered that, too, no the narticles."
"Mores, morality" he said, "There were hippies or beakteens but I think love and sex and these things are possibly more out in the world than today, but today's kids certainly don't invent sex."
Smith said the issues today and the causes the students take up are not a great deal more than in his day. He said that public speaking is difficult in cycles to come up with anything new.
