KU gets more money from lawmakers
By NANCY HANEY Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
TOPEKA — The University of Kansas received an additional $184,812 for fiscal year 1980 from the Kansas Legislature on Saturday to pay for the governing body adjourned its 1985 session.
The extra money was appropriated through an omnibus bill, a catch-all package for last-minute financing to state agencies that is used at the end of the session. The bill now will be sent to Gov. John Carlin for his signature.
The bill, which includes appropriations worth a total of about $12 million, was approved by the Senate, 39-0, and then by the House, 71-53. The bill was sent to a joint conference committee late Friday to work out differences between versions of the bill that each chamber had passed earlier in the day.
KU received $77,138 for Other Operating Expenses. The extra money was given to the University to compensate for reduced enrollment in the School of Law during the year 1994.
LAST YEAR, KU and Washuburn University in Topeka made an agreement to reduce enrollment at their law schools — the only two in the state — in order to provide a better legal education. But reduced enrollment means fewer state dollars for the schools.
Before the first session of the Legislature was over, the state gave Washburn $180,000 to compensate for enrollment declines at its law school during the 1984-85 school year.
State Rep Jessie Branson, D-Lawrence,
said she was pleased with the work done for
the district.
State Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence, said the extra money for the law school was needed and was not difficult to get passed
STATE SEN. WINT Winter Jr., R. Lawrence, said he thought it was only right that the Legislature gave the money to KU after Washburn was given more money.
KU also received $77,675 for the University-affiliated research program at Parsons State Hospital. The money originally was in KU's budget as part of the overall Board of Regents appropriations package, but was taken out before the package passed so the research program could be studied.
"I didn't think we would have any problems getting it passed, since Washburn
The rest of the extra money, $30,000, was given to KU for renovation of the old portion of Haworth Hall. Some of the old building will
have to be remodeled when an addition is expected to be completed in 1986.
Branson said the money given to KU for the research program with Parsons State Hospital was needed to ensure that research on mental retardation was continued.
BRANSON SAID she had been active in initiating research in mental retardation since the 1960s, when programs similar to KU's were established.
had gotten the money before," he said.
Public education on the subject still is needed, Branson said.
Also included in the omnibus bill was more appropriations for the Regents. About $250,000 was approved to finance an increase in a state scholarship program. The increase would allow the amount of each scholarship to be raised from $500 to $100 in fiscal 1986.
The Regents schools are the six state universities and the Kansas Technical Institute in Salina
Sobach said the most a student could receive for a combined state tuition grant and state scholarship would be raised from $1,450 to $1,950. If a student received more than $950 in state tuition grants, then a state scholarship would have to be less than $1,000.
Stage show will feature KU alumni
By PATRICIA SKALLA Staff Reporter
The chance to raise money for KU students, renew old friendships and honor former colleagues will reunite about 40 KU theatre students in return to Lawrence for perform this week.
The alumni will be on campus Friday and Saturday to perform in "Alums Come Home," a variety show presented by the University Theatre to benefit three memorial scholarship funds, Jack Wright, the show's executive producer, last week.
The proceeds will be divided among scholarship funds in honor of Richard Kellon.
Kellon and Niven, both 1968 KU graduates, were active in theatre productions at KU. Rea also was active in KU theatre and was a KU faculty member for more than 30 years.
"We thought it would be a lovely idea to bring the alum back and celebrate the lives of the people we loved."
The show will be presented at 8 p.m. on both nights in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall. Tickets are on sale at the Murphy Hall box office. Public prices are $12, $10 and $8. Discounts are available for KU students and senior citizens.
BRADY RUBIN, A 1958 graduate who will be performing a scene she wrote with her husband, said the show was important to ensure that students had a chance to receive training.
"I haven't been on stage since 1976," she said. "I'm scared to death."
WRIGHT SAID the show would feature some alumni perform scenes from plays or musicals in which they had performed their roles, and also productions in which they are now involved.
Rebecca Balding, a 1970 graduate who played Carol on the television series "Soap," said she was looking forward to returning to school for her scholarship funds and to see old classmates.
But Balding said she also had some reservations about the show.
The idea for the show began about five years ago, he said. Not only would the show be a reason for alumni to have a reunion, but it also served to raise money for the scholarship funds.
Rea was one of the primary organizers of the show, Wright said. When he died last summer while directing a show for the KU basketball team, Rea would return to reunite alumni became more important.
William Kukile, professor of theatre and the show's alumni talent coordinator, said all alumni were notified about the project through letters. If they were interested in performing, attending or helping, they were asked to respond.
"Every time I talked to someone, I got such a warm response." Kuhle said. "If there was a problem, it was trying to fit everyone in. My job was to try to make a coherent, manageable evening."
As other girls wait their turn, Katie Fawcett, 10, daughter of Steve Fawcett, 1500 Haskell Ave., sings at an audition for the
KU Summer Theatre's production of "Annie." Audition were held Saturday and yesterday for the cast.

Paranoia drives extremist groups
By United Press International
BRANSON. Mo . - Though separated by a gulf of ideology, left- and right-wing extremist groups drink from the same wellspring - paranoia
"they both share an apocalyptic view of history," said John Hall, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Chicago. "They both see themselves as playing a key role in that history."
Hall is currently finishing a book on the 1978 Jonestown Massacre, in which hundreds died at the behest of left-wing Christian leader Jim Jones.
The recent four-day siege by federal agents at the north-Akansas camp of the Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord (the second-famous disaster that existed in Jonestown, Hall says).
A search after the standoff revealed a partially filled 39-gallon drum of cyanide.
"Whether they be left or right wing," he continued, "these people operate under a system of rules."
Let-wing extremist groups traditionally embrace minorities. Women, blacks, and others organized in the '60s and '70s under the Black Panther Party, the New African Women's Organization and the Prairie Fire Organizing Committee.
THOSE ATTRACTED to extremist groups seem to be an eclectic collection of romanticists and hardline political radicals who are economically disadvantaged. Hall says.
'Among all extremists there is a sense of resentment. They search for scapegoats to explain away the problems that plague them.'
—John Hall associate professor of sociology, University of Missouri
University of Missouri
But minorities have few rooms in right-wing halls. White supremacist groups like the CSA and the neo-Nazi Order cloak their doctrine in Christianity — justifying racism and anti-Semitism with the Scriptures. They also believe women belong in the home — a tuned shewn by the left wing, where women carry guns and often rise to power, as did Emily Harris of the Marxist Symbionese Liberation Army.
"AMONG ALL extremists there is a sense of resentment," Hall says. "They search for scapegoats to explain away the problems that plague them."
For the left wing it is society, which they promote racism, sexism and class difference.
"The left wing seems to be more interested in bombing the nation's Capitol, National Guard installations and such as that," said Robert Davenport, special agent in charge of
the FBI's Kansas City office." Their thing is attacking the government."
For the right wing it is minorities, blacks and Jews, which they believe exert an inordinate amount of control in the government.
"Our beef isn't with cops," said Kerry Noble, an elder in the CSA. "It's the judicial system and the Jews that control it that concern us."
Most groups arm themselves heavily, said Davenport, and both openly advocate overthrow of the government.
"ITS PART OF their paranoid style." Hall notes. "They need weapons to protect themselves during the 'immident' destruction of society. It's a self-fulfillment prophecy. They get the weapons, do their outlandish things, get called on it by the government and then justify their actions by decrying persecution."
SLA documents seized in 1975 by the government show that the group, like The Order and the CSA, built arsenals of weapons and trained extensively in the use of them.
Federal authorities last week confiscated an arsenal of street artillery, munitions and poison gas in a search of the CSA compound. The same search also turned up a nearly completely armored vehicle.
"In both extremes there are a lot of connections with the born-again Christian movement," Hall says. "They've basically pulled together a lot of society's marginal people and bound them militantly with the Christian spirit.
