The federal government needs to increase federal support for university research, Chancellor Gene A. Budig and the president of Harvard University, Derek Bok, said Monday at a meeting organized by the Association of American Universities in Washington, D.C.
"Too many of the important research questions are not being addressed because of obsolete equipment," Baldig said in a prepared statement.
Bmg sand and pripure rock. That's one of this country's first research universities being handcrafted by growing inventories at industrial laboratories, argument."
Budig and Bok spoke with Senate
Majority Leader Bob Dole, R-Kan. at the annual AAU meeting. Robert Rosezwig, president of AAU, also attended.
The four men discussed their concerns about research equipment and portions of President Reagan's tax simplification proposal.
"Iadadequate research equipment and facilities pose a national threat," he said.
Budid were researchers and their students were turning to other careers rather than working in inferior university settings.
Budig said that 25 percent of the science equipment now used at 43 key research universities was obsolete and that 16 percent was modern.
in university laboratories were twice as old as those found in commercial laboratories.

He also said research instruments
"What we need is a multi-year laboratory modernization program, supported by federal research agencies," Budig said. "We need increased federal interest in and support for university research. Specifically, we need more federal assistance for graduate fellowships, faculty development, research instrumentation and facilities."
Budig the competitive position of science, engineering and technology was at risk at universities. He said states, federal agencies and industry must form a national program to secure reinvest
ment in the capital base of universities.
Besides the problems with research equipment, Budig and Bok also expressed their concerns.
New computer program lacks code to enroll
Bv The Kansan Staff
Although a new degree for computer engineering is being offered this fall, a code has not been created for students to enroll in the program, the acting chairman of the department of electrical and computer engineering said recently.
"The degree, a bachelor's in computer engineering. will be an outgrowth of electrical engineering."
said Don Daugherty, the acting chairman.
He said the lack of an enrollment code was an administrative detail that was left out. Because the curriculum for the first year of electrical engineering and the new program is the same, students can enroll in electrical engineering classes and then switch to the new computer degree when the codes are created.
Daugherty said that the new degree now was a change on paper and that he hoped to have the new enrollment code set by this summer.
"No new professors have been hired to teach the new course, but during the fall we will be vigorously teaching them and they will be involved in the program," he said.
Daugherty said the initial funding for the new program was $269,000.
which the Board of Regents approved and allocated last fall.
"That cost represents the initial costs of buying new equipment for the computer classes," he said.
Those students selecting the new degree program would be able to work in computer design and the computer products other than software.

David Kimbrell, president of the company, said Hall-Kimbrell hoped to add seven or eight new positions and bring in too large for its present building.
He said the three-year-old company had specialized in asbestos removal but now hoped to diversity into other areas of environmental engineering, such as sewage trees or air and water pollution abatement.
The company employs about 32 full-time workers and has offices in Los Angeles, New York and Oxford, Miss

Sallie Mae, formed by Congress in 1973, buys federally guaranteed student loans and then manages them. The Lawrence office, which opened in October, was the first regional office in the Midwest.
In other business, the commission set a hearing date, 8 p.m. Aug. 6, to consider a request for $4 million in IRBs for the Student Loan Marketing Association, commonly known as Sallie Mac.
City Manager Buford Watson said
Barry Brotman, manager of the office in局 1919 Delaware ST, said the company planned to construct a building, which would accommodate 300-500 employees, at one of three possible sites in the area.
The commission also voted unanimously to give $5,000 to a program that might provide some art therapy and retreated persons in Lawrence.

"It's not a wealthy company, but it has a wealth of energy," Watson said.
the corporation appeared to have great potential for growth.
