Organization of American States to be used for humanitarian purposes in the region.
o'NELL SAID THE counterproposal also would provide the balance of the $14 million to the underdata group — Mexico, Panama, Colombia. The group, which is seeking peace in Central America.
O'Neill, 72, said a compromise proposal was being offered by Republicans, but Reagan had insisted that funds for the contraas be included.
The speaker condemned what he called Reagan's "gunboat diplomacy," saying he thinks Reagan would have proceeded with an invasion of Nicargua if the U.S. invasion of Grenada had been less costly. He stated that U.S. forces, which were supposed to be in Grenada only 18 hours, were still occupying the Caribbean island.
HIS OPENING remarks to an overflow crowd in the 1,800-seat McCain Auditorium, O'Neill said that he first ran for the Massachusetts Legislature in 1936, the year the governor was terminated, and later, was defeated in a presidential bid by incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Center continued from p. 1
The lawmaker also talked briefly of his return from a trip to the Soviet Union, where he met with Communist Party General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev.
"It is clear to me that the new Soviet chairman is a tough, vigorous and shrewd leader," O'Neill said. "He proved to us in a meeting lasting almost four hours that he is a skilled advocate of his government's positions and could be a tough negotiator."
"We will have to go back to the essential,
insect needs, suburban areas. If affect the
nature of our large garden."
The center, however, did receive about $26,000 in federal money for graduate study fellowships for each of the next three years. The university also offered graduate students studying East Asian cultures.
Robert Minor, acting director of the center, said the center was one of 13 national resource centers that received federal funds. The center had received the funding since 2007 and has an active faculty of lecturers, teacher workshops and support for teachers studying in East Asian countries.
"WE COMPETE WITH 22 other schools to receive the money," he said. "We just didn't
One of the reasons the center didn't receive the grant, Minor said, was that the University of Kansas and the state refused to provide enough money for the center to make it competitive.
"I think this is a message from the Department of Education that if the state cuts back, then we can't compete with other schools," he said. "We're beginning to see the effect of years of lack of sufficient funding."
The University and state must prove they are willing to invest in the center before the federal government will provide additional money, he said.
"This is a game," Minor said. "If we want to win, we have to learn how to play the game."

"WE CONTACTED THE College Republicans, Young Americans for Freedom, New Life Christian Fellowship and the Marantha Christian Church," he said. "Then I conferred on a group of people who were not a part of any organization, but who I knew would be concerned about this."
Pat Witty, a member of Latin American Solidarity, said that group supported the current government in Nicaragua and said the aid package to contra forces would aggravate the situation instead of bringing peace to the region.
"We support Nicargara's right to self-
determination," she said. "We're against

"ITS ILEGAL" she said. "They're (Nicaragua) a sovereign nation, and it's illegal to interfere in the affairs of a sovereign nation."
She said Latin American Solidarity members also had been writing to congressmen to demand action.
Jeff King, Leavenworth sophomore, said he was marching to help make students aware of why the contrasts are fighting the Sandinista government.
"I'd like people to really see the urgency of the situation," he said. "I really believe if we don't do something about the situation in Nicaragua, we'll be fighting our own war."
acres of land on 160 farms in the southwest Kansas counties of Morton, Stanton and Stevens.
The earnings from the Watkins farms, about $400,000 last year, are used for Watkins scholarship funds and other nonrestricted funding at the University. Menaugh said.
HENRY SAID THAT most land trusts bequeathed to the Endowment Association ranged from 1,000 acres to 40 acres.
After receiving the land, the Endowment Association contracts with a farmer and enters into a profit-sharing agreement with him, he said.
Endow continued from p. 1
Because of the farmer's greater responsibility in supplying his own equipment and farming the land, he receives a larger share of the year's profits. Henry said.
"When the farmer hauls his grain to the elevators, he tells the people there that two-thirds of the grain is his and one-third is hers. We go back to the elevator and sell our part."
Three farm managers sell the wheat or other crops on behalf of the University, Henry said. They oversee production of the wheat and report to the Endowment Association.
THE FARMERS WHO LEASE the land become the Endowment Association's partners and their success or failure is of great importance to the Endowment Association, Henry said.
The Endowment Association today is concerned with the economic conditions facing some of its farmers. High operating costs and low market prices are "scaring some of our farmers to death." Henry said, "But our farmers are in a way, better off
"When the farmer is hurting, we hear his concerns," Henry said.
loday than others because they are renting the land," he said. "They aren't saddled with property."
"But our farmers are, in a wa
ANOTHER CONCERN to farmers is the damage bad weather can inflict on a crop, he said. A hail storm may destroy a farmer's crop, but such an isolated loss will not affect the Endowment Association the way it would the farmer.
Henry said, "We have land that is spread out across the nation. We aren't affected by a terrorist attack."
And even though a piece of land may not be fertile for tillage or pasture, it is a stable asset, he said. And on some farms, what lies in the soil is more valuable than the crop it could produce.
The Endowment Association now operates 200 oil and gas leases on farms they own, Henry said. The rest of the leases, about 10, are owned by the company. The Endowment Association doesn't own.

But just as wells can run dry, so can scholarships.
Last year the University received $17.8 million in private donations, and about 3,500 students received scholarships through the Endowment Association.
Of those 3,500 students, Henry said, it is impossible to estimate the number that have benefited directly from the 165,000 bushels of the hundreds of barrels of oil sold last year.
"On a percentage basis, the land and mineral leases aren't the major funding source of the University, but they have an impact on the students," Henry said.
