Regents to discuss 1987 budgets
By Sherry Gering
Staff Reporter
The Board of Regents is scheduled to discuss the fiscal 1987 budgets and the spoken-English language competency of faculty and graduate teaching assistants at the Regents schools during meetings tomorrow and Friday in Topeka.
Keith Mitcher, University director for business affairs, said yesterday that KU had requested $7.32 million to finance its program requests for the school. Regents staff recommended $2.96 million. Fiscal 1986 begins Monday.
Nitcher said it was normal for Regents schools to request substantially more money than the Regents could allocate.
"The figure represents the University's expression of needs and wants." Nitcher said "The Regents
figure represents what funding potential there is in the state."
Those recommendations do not include the base budget, which consists of salary increases and other operating expenses. Budget hearings for all Regents schools will be tomorrow. On Friday, the Regents will recommend budgets to KU and the six other Regents schools that include both the base salary and the program requests.
The seven Regents schools are KU, Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University, Pittsburg State University, Wichita State University and the Kansas Technical Institute in Salina.
Also on Friday, the Regents will consider the English competency test. Stanley Koplik, Regents executive director, said the Regents would be willing to endorse a policy
of English competency to prevent any problems with faculty members and graduate teaching assistants who are not native speakers of English.
The proposed policy says that the spoken-English competency of all faculty and graduate teaching assistants who are not native speakers of English would be reviewed.
Those found to be deficient would have to take a test and achieve a minimum score. Those who did not make the required score would be each for one year if they enrolled in an English course to improve their English skills.
The Regents also are expected Friday to discuss a request by KU to enter into an agreement with the University of Costa Rica.
KU student's tax case continued
By The Kansan Staff
$ ^{2} $ The case of a 23-year-old KU accounting student accused of filing false income tax returns was continued until Tuesday by U.S. District Court Judge G.T. Van Bebber yesterday in Topeka.
Kennard K. Montez, Springdale,
Ark., senior, was indicted last week
by a federal grand jury on three
counts of filing false income tax
returns and one count of conspiracy
to file false income tax returns.
Montez allegedly conspired with his mother, his sister and a Tulsa
Okla., woman to receive more than $69,000 in refunds by filing as many as 18 tax returns under fictitious names.
Beverly Montez, 47, Springdale, Ark., Venus Montez, 24, Dallas, and Debra Bailey, 22, Tulsa, Okla., also appeared in court yesterday in Topeka and their cases were continued until Tuesday.
The federal indictment specifies three income tax returns that were tiled March 30, all using the same address, 2400 Alamanda St., 13B.
One filed in the name of N. Enriquez claimed a refund of $4,629; another in the name of Arturo Moniciviez claimed $7,018 and a third in the name of Antonio Sanchez claimed $9,095
The refunds claimed in the 18 returns ranged from $4,000 to $30,000. Kurt Shermik, assistant U.S. attorney, said yesterday.
The conspiracy charge is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine, he said. Submitting a false return is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
I was just thinking about what my Uncle Bill used to tell me — well, actually, I didn't start out thinking about it, I was just out walking, or at least I was walking until the big dog started chasing me and then I started running and that's probably why I didn't see the midget precision tricycle drill team out practicing and why I tripped over the short one and that's really when I was reminded of what Uncle Bill used to say, which helped a lot while I was waiting for the ambulance and later on, I probably couldn't have gotten through the trial and all except for his advice, but it was really the three singers from the Randy Newman Anti-Defamation League and Possum Hollow Nude Dude Ranch and the gorgeous balloon bouquet from Heaven Sent that finally made me feel really happy again. Uncle Bill would have been proud.
