computer. The two computers together are estimated to cost about $1.5 million.
Plans are to have the administrative computer installed by July and the academic computer installed by the start of January 1986.
NIEBAUM SAID that he didn't want to comment on the specifications, but that he was comfortable with the process. He said the specifications did limit competitive bidding, but said this was necessary to keep the number of companies submitting bids at a reasonable level.
He said DEC was the only company that made a VAX computer, but other computer suppliers should be able to submit bids for the academic computer.
"Companies buy in volume computer systems, with the intent of adding software or equipment." Niebaum said. "Maybe firms like that could contact the bid."
Niebaum said he wasn't sure how many companies had received copies of the bids. Nick Rouch, director of state Division of Finance, said that this was not public information.
"The more speculative we can keep it, the tighter their pencils get," Roach said.
ROACH SAID HE hadn't heard that Honeywell wanted to protest the specifications. He said he didn't care to comment on whether the specifications were legitimate. "If we put them on the street, we must have thought they were good," he said.
Roach said it was unusual for companies to protest specifications. If Honeywell decides to request a review of the specifications, he will probably be directed toward his division.
In that case, Roach said, his division would review the complaint and change the specifications if it were valid.
Mann said many departments on campus owned VAX computers, and no protests had been filed against them when these systems were purchased.
Mann said KU officials had no personal biases against Honewell.
"We have no bad feelings toward them," he said.
that there should be no foreign advisers and no bases in Central America."
Advisers continued from p. 1
In Moscow yesterday, the official Tass news agency accused Reagan of harboring a pathological hatred for the Nicaraguan government and said his trade embargo was preparing the ground for an invasion of the country.
The Reagan administration has played down the Cubans' well-publicized departure, saying as many as 2,500 other Cubans were still in the country, in addition to more than 5,000 other technicians and advisers from the United States and the Palestine Liberation Organization.
Nicaraguan officials,however, contend
there are only 800 Cuban military advisers in Nicaragua, whose presence is needed to train government troops in the fight against some 15,000 U.S. backed anti-Sandinista rebels.
THE TRade EMBARGO, announced Wednesday by Reagan soon after he arrived in Bonn for the seven-nation Economic Summit of the trading industrial nations, abrogates a treaty of friendship between the United States and Nicaragua.
Necargua Vice President Sergio Ramírez said in Managua that the embargo had an "illegal and arbitrary character" and his nation would add the action, including the breaking of the treaty, to its case now pending before the International Court of
Justice at The Hague. The original complaint stemmed from the U.S. mining of Nicaraguan harbors, revealed a year ago.
White House spokesman Larry Speakes later said "this is not an item for the world court."
Reagan, as he began a meeting with West German President Richard von Weizsacker, said "it won't make much difference whatever they do. We're going to have the sanctions."
He cited the language of the U.S.Nicaragua treaty, which said the treaty "shall not affect the parties' national security measures."

whether any changes had been made in them.
He confirmed that no significant changes had been made in the guidelines and the University printed the KU portion of the GSL package.
"There were no changes major changes, so we took a chance to go with it." Weinberg said "There is hardly any change in the language from the 1984-85 form just technical language."
students' summer addresses, which would have cost a significant amount of money. Waiting for the guidelines could have delayed processing students' applications — meaning some students would not have their loan checks in time to pay fees in August.
He said that if the University had waited until the guidelines arrived late in May, it would have had to send the applications to
"WE ARE ONLY 90 days from fall fees, and there is a staggering amount of work for students, parents, offices, guarantee agencies and banks." Weinberg said.
He said that if students completed the forms and sent them to the financial aid office by the middle of June they should
receive their loan checks in time to pay fees in August.
Because of the large amount of loan requests made at this time of year, processing applications takes six to eight weeks, and students who wait until after July 1 may not receive their loan checks until after enrollment. Weinberg said.
Weinberg said the office expected to distribute and process about 10,000 GSL applications for the fall semester. However, he estimated that only about 6,000 students would qualify, which is comparable to the
number of students receiving loans this year.
He said the remaining 4,000 students sometimes didn't qualify for loans or qualified for better financial aid programs.
JERRY ROGERS, director of financial aid, said Wednesday that the office received the applications from the University Press of Kansas late that afternoon. Students who were enrolled in the application later day were able to receive a copy then. The office had announced earlier that students would have to wait until Monday to pick up applications.
