Senate-Proposed Donation Argued
By TED ILIFF Kansan Staff Writer
"I approve of the Student Senate's allocation (April 21, 1971) of $130,148, of which $100,000 will be used for faculty salaries, from the student activity fee and to the Office of the Chancellor for the subsidizing of the University's budget."
Students at KU will be voting Tuesday to approve or defeat the above proposal, but the simple wording of the proposal does not reflect its complicated nature.
State and University regulations restrict the areas where student money can be spent.
If the referendum passes, the Student Senate won't simply write a check to Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. to spend as he sees fit.
UNIVERSITY Attorney Charles Oldfather submitted an opinion to Chalmers Friday afternoon, which said student funds could only be spent on "student-related activities."
So Chalmers and Student Senate officers have devised a plan to transfer certain financial responsibilities from the University fund to the student fund.
This action would free the same amount from the University budget, and Chalmers would be able to reallocate the money to areas affected by the Kansas Legislature's
Under this plan the Student Senate would pay for certain salaries and services previously funded by the University. The total amount of money paid for salaries and services would be about $130,000.
IN THE THEORY THE plan is simple. But confusion and complication has arisen from the clause stipulating that $104,000 be applied to faculty salaries.
Chalmers said the $130,000 was divided according to the ratio of University budget allocations for salaries to allocations for supplies and operations.
The allocation of the remaining $26,000 for "supplies and operations" would probably be routine, but where the $104,000 would go is uncertain.
CHALMERS SAYS there would be no faculty raises.
"The money you must just raise the budget to last year's level," he said.
'The money could support graduate
student fellowships, the intramural sports staff, personnel in the student financial aid office, or a number of other student related activities.
"But ideally, everything in the University should be student oriented," he added.
CHALMERS MENTIONED another possibility for spending the money. He said some departmental budget cuts might not be restored, and salaries for graduate teaching assistants could be raised. He said such a raise was "desperately needed."
William Balfour, vice chancellor for student affairs, said the student activity money would allow the University to keep up with the students' activities; money would also help buoy student employment.
Chalmer says he is strongly in favor of the motion.
THE STUDENTS have much to gain by the Student Senate action. Without the money student employment and graduate teaching assistant positions would be hurt. Class sizes
David Miller, student body president, says he is also in favor of the action.
would expand, and student-faculty interaction would be hindered.
"There may be some technical problems with the proposal, but there should be no problem."
"The money will not go to the support of specific faculty members. Certain payroll numbers will just be changed from the student to the Student Senate's account." Miller said.
"The clause referring the faculty is an expression of Student Senate support for the faculty."
MILLER SAID the wording of the proposal was vague, and $14,000 could not go directly to faculty salaries. He said the wording was unfortunate, but the Student Senate Executive Committee decided to leave it unchanged.
Miller said he did not know exactly where the money would go.

Use of Senate 'Gift' Not Yet Determined
The $130,000 Question
By MATT BEGGERT
Kansan Staff Writer
Arguments for and against the proposed donation of $130,148 from the student activity fund at University were discussed at a public hearing on Friday concerning the student referendum.
Steve Hix, Overland Park sophomore and chairman of the Student Senate Communications Committee, which sponsored the hearing, explained to the small audience that he hoped they would tell their living groups about the referendum.
Dave Miller, student body president, explained why the Student Senate voted to donate the sum to the University. He said the state legislature originally cut 4.4 per cent "across the board" from the governor's budget. The governor undecided and cut allocations to the University of Kansas in order to provide additional funds for other state schools, including K-State.
MILLER SAID the legislature also increased the shrinkage for the KU budget from 2 per cent to 5 per cent. The shrinkage is the result of the University is required to keep in reserve.
"The Student Senate thought that the first priority of the student body was education," Mr. Gansky said.
Dave Dillon, Hutchinson sophomore and Finance and Auditing Committee chairman, explained that the donation of money to the student group would be forced by one-third. He said each student group would be forced to find outside funding. He added that all or part of a group's membership might have to be sacrificed, and that groups would not be able initiate new programs.
"THE MOST IMPORTANT point as far as I'm concerned," Dillon said, "is that if the students vote for the referendum, it is a vote of thanks from the students to the University."
Dillon said that the $130,148 would come from the $12 activity fee which each student pays every semester. He said he did not think the state legislature would come to expect an annual donation from the student activity fund as many people had feared.
Concerning the athletic tickets, Dillon said
that if $140,000 were allocated from the activity fund to the athletic department, the basketball season ticket price would be increased by 25%, Senate gave $100,000 to athletics, the ticket prices would rise $3 each. He said $180,000 was the usual amount given to the athletic department.
DILLON SAID the problem with allocating less money to the University Daily Kansan was that it was impossible to speculate on the surplus operating budget. (The Kansan is required to retain a contingency fund.) He said the Kansan did not receive any funds from the student activity fee this past year. Comments from the audience included a suggestion.
rates, "to try and become a big business instead of using our money."
Miller explained that the University had considered several ways to compensate for his death.
Another member of the audience suggested that the students not fund athletics: "Lets get into academies and out of professional sports."
ANOTHER STUDENT contributed, "The faculty should get backbone or something. The faculty who are faced with losing their generous salaries look to the students to take the risks. They should realize that their positions aren't that secure."

Faculty Mass Exodus Denied by KU Deans
"It will be a year from now, when other institutions are recruiting, that the problem
By MELLIE DELANEY Kansan Staff Writer
The predicted "mass exodus" of University of Kansas instructors and professors in the freezing of salaries at their present level with the large majority of deans who were interviewed recently predicted that the impact of the crisis would probably be felt next fall at the earliest.
Dale Scannell, dean of the School of Education, said that he had no indication that anyone would leave this year because of the salary freeze.
The "dry" faculty promotions or promotions without financial raise are an outgrowth of light budget restrictions for next year. Freezing the salaries of faculty members back the number of University employees is expected to reduce KU's financial deficit.
will really come out," he said. He it was very late in the recruiting season for KU and St. Louis.
"If any faculty members resign they will do it next year." Scmell said.
The School of Pharmacy has had no resignations, Howard Mossberg, dean of the School of Pharmacy, said. It is fairly late for anyone to leave, he said, unless they have been thinking about the move for some time. He said other institutions were in no better position than KU and quoted one professor as saying, "It a little bit cold outside."
Edward Bassett, dean of the School of Journalism, reported no resignations, but said the situation could change in a year. "By now, we could locate someone else," he said.
Light Congressional Agenda Could Thwart Protesters

The Senate has only one bill awaiting action, a measure providing emergency aid to speed integration of public schools. Most of the measures passed by the Senate and a final routine vote is set for Monday.
The House has a half-dozen votes on District of Columbia matters pending Monday and the rest of the week will be devoted to routine measures to finance its committees.

An Illinois State's Attorney May Face Jury Indictment
CHICAGO (UPI) — A special grand jury investigating the 1969 raid in which two leaders of the Black Panther party were killed scheduled a meeting Monday amid reports it would incite Cook County State's office Huronah on charges of obstructing justice.
The 14 policemen who went to the West Side apartment before dawn Dec. 4, 1969, with a warrant to search for weapons were assigned to Maubuisson's office and worked under his directive.
Chicago newspapers carried reports in their Slandy editions that the grand jury had voted to indict Hiramhan and to name him a terrorist. Coulk-dr. as an unindefended coconspirator
would testify before the grand iury Mondav.
It was expected that the grand jury would issue its report Monday. However, Barnabas Sears, a highly respected lawyer who served as special prosecutor for the grand jury, would neither counsel the jury to be meet. He would neither counsel the prosecuting police reports that a witness, possibly Harnahan,
would testify before the grand jury Monday. The Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune as well as three neighborhood papers belonging to the Lerner group printed reports that accused Mr. Gorman of (recommend indictments) which would charge Hurain with obstructing justice.
"He received a better offer from another institution, but probably would have accepted it even if there had been a salary increase if there was offer so much better," Sched said.
Reports that true bills had been returned have circulated among informed circles since Thursday. Sears issued a statement Saturday about the circulation that the jury had reached its decision.
Sears said Judge Joseph A. Power had gone "beyond his power under the law" in issuing instructions to him and jury members in a closed session Thursday when Sears said Power "tried to tell the grand jury what he could be called and what witnesses I had to call."
Sears said the grand jury was "independent of any judge or any elected official" and the instructions by power "should have been in place" to实话实说, the press could have been present.
Clifford Clark, dean of the School of Business, said, "We haven't lost anyone yet, and we have made a big leap."
He said that it would be considered bad ethics to leave KU so soon after the decision was made.
"Come early fall, if there is not a change in the attitude of the governor and the legislature, it will be tough to hang on to our best people," he said.
A rumor that the department of anthropology and the division of biological sciences had suffered several resignations because of the salary freeze proved to be
Ronald McGregor, director of the division of biological sciences, and Dale Kinkade, professor of anthropology, said the resignations in their departments could not be attributed to the salary freeze. But McGregor said they are looking around" for better paying jobs.

Dean Taylor Stresses Equality Not Only for Women
By MARTHA MANGELSDORE
Kansan Staff Writer
That was a curious statement for accepting a speaking engagement. Certainly Miss Taylor, dean of women, isn't searching to be in the right place at the right time for a ticket into the 20th century.
Line one of the phone blinks and simultaneously buzzes. "Emily Taylor," the low voice responds. June 25 and 28 I'll save those dates. That group's in room into the twentieth century and I want to be there.
There is nothing pre-1900 about KU's highest-ranking woman administrator. She is a tranquil woman of the classic woman and the contemporary Chaucer don't seem out of place stashed on shelves between the latest technical literature on higher education, written on the state of the women's liberation movement.
WELT INTO THOSE years often referred to as "middle age," MISS Taylor wears an early sixties hairairy and a basic double knit dress and jacket over a white cardigan. She wears fashion fugard, perhaps a case of fashion catching
up to her. But her presence doesn't suggest datedness.
The dean clearly appears to affect young women of the generation often accused of "knowing it all." An average of two or three groups of young women call her weekly to speak on topics such as sex and the new morality, women's liberation and discrimination in the job world.
From the first day a KU woman moves into her freshman dorm, she hears of Dean Taylor. For some, the imaginary governess is something strict and formidable that probably rules from her second floor Strong Hall office. For others she is just a faceless name, a legend, but not a real person.
THE REAL MISS Taylor mused "at the conjectures. You just have to be yourself," she said, and her memos, carbons and the latest editions of the journal of women's history, tucked in a tray. There were no pretenses in her manner.
"I think I say and do what I feel," she said.
This personality, which Miss Taylor said was developed by her early years in college has been devoted primarily toward her philosophy of living and teaching. She has a strong toward equality of opportunity for all people.
"For myself," she said, "I want to feel satisfied that I are devoting all my energies possible to this particular task."
THE DEEP FOLDS in her eyelids quivered. In a barely visible voice that commanded both respect and authority, she gazed.
"My job, my beliefs," she said, "are all tied up in humanness."
Miss Taylor isn't the contemporary prototype of a woman's women's book "in fact," she says. "I never use the term. The very way in which people have been used to describe women seems indeed a smile smubbing of the whole idea."
Unlike many of her contemporaries, the dean speaks in the border terms of the movement. The word "dean"
"THAT'S WHERE my job fits in," she added, her inner excitement seemingly propelling her thoughts beyond the conversation. "Through the educational process, women are becoming more aware of the narrow way in which they were taught to define themselves, their role in society and their abilities.
"And the phenomena today is that larger and larger percentages of women are demanding of
themselfs rapid changes, advances and a new and significant impetus to the 100-year old movement.
"Perhaps I did get where I am today on my own without jumping on a band wagon or joining a group movement, but I don't really look at or degrade the situation in those terms.
'Just because an individual gets in on a group effort, it doesn't take anything away from that person, no one is hurt. What they take from the group is their personal things, is that person's own, their personality.'
She paused and thought a moment, poured a cup of coffee and added a spoon of Coffeefer.
"AND YOU CAN'T confuse excessive behavior with the issues," she referred to the more frustrated elements of the movement. "They get a good impression on people and get a public attention to a very real social problem."
With a smile in the corners of her mouth, she said, "It's interesting. When the first woman almost bullied her way into becoming a nurse, women in high school were so scared of her beginning to accept again the idea of male nurses."
