University budget approved in House
By MICHAEL TOTTY Staff Reporter
TOPEKA — The Kansas House yesterday approved a fiscal year 1986 budget for the seven Board of Regents schools that further enhance the state's public education by the Kensers and Gov. John Carlin.
The House approved by a 101-21 vote the budget recommended by its Ways and Means Committee last week. The committee had approved last month by the Kansas Senate approved last month by the Kansas Senate.
The $645 million appropriations bill will be returned to the Senate, which is expected to reject the cuts made in the schools' proposed budgets by the House Committee. The Senate then would ask for a conference committee made up of members of both chambers to reach a compromise on the budget.
HOUSE MEMBERS who opposed the reduced Regents budget decided to wait for the conference committee and not fight to restore some of the lost money on the House
State Rep Jessie Branson, D-Lawrence, said opposition to the Senate's budget by the Republican majority in the House made it difficult to fight on the floor to restore the budget cut.
"We have hopes that some of that will be restored in committee," Branson said. "We decided that it would be risky to try to get it amended on the floor."
"This kind of vote comes down on a partisan basis. If they get defeated on the

Kenneth L. Stoner, associate director of residence halls at the University of Tennessee Knoxville has been chosen to serve as the office of student affairs appointed yesterday.

Stoner was one of four finalists, all of whom visited the University in the past two months.
Fish tales on banks
By MICHELLE WORRALL Staff Reporter
A whale of a tale turks in the Kaw River across from the old Bowersock Mill.
For years, fishermen have traded
about monster-sized catfish that
linger longer in the water.
"Years and years ago I caught an 80-pound cat," said Ernest Higgins, a Lawrence resident who grew up along the Mississippi River. "I have you to right them, 'til they give up."
In warm weather, fishermen gather by the dam across from Bowersock Mills and Power Co. Sixth and New York streets, in which they operate, photography and peruse a few minutes of fame.
Snapshots of grimming fisherman proudly posing with their lofty catches are locked on a wall of Higgins Bait Shop. Second floor, east from Lawrence Riverfront Park.
Sounds kind of fishy, doesn't it? But this isn't another tale about the big one that I know.
LAST YEAR. THE biggest fish dragged into the bait shop weighed 61 pounds, said Jury Hurgins, the shon's owner.
LAWRENCE'S GIANT catfish could mean big bucks for Mrs. Paul. For example, one its pound catfish would be about 100, 300 crunchy, lightly battered fishsticks.
WITH PIN-POINT accuracy Russell cast with a side arm motion. His line, laden with sipers and worms, graccelytely swirled as he flanked and plunged into the depths of the river.
The lure of landing a big one drew lawrence residents Jim Russell and Dan Schultz.
Biggers, however, took a more relaxed approach to fishing. He lounged on a rock
floor, it's harder to get them reinstated in the conference committee."
State Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence, said some of the reductions were made to give the House a position to bargain with the Senate in the conference committee.
"IT WOULD HAVE been a tactical error to make those changes on the floor," Solbach said. "We expect some of the cuts to be restored in the conference committee."
For KU, the House approved about $80,000

According to an old fisherman's tale, a man dove into the water and never came back.
But many years ago, fishermen dove into the water with large locks lashed to their wristes to try to snare the big catfish, also known flatheads, he said.
"I didn't do it," Higgins said. "I didn't want to tangle with no fish in the water. They have rough teeth like a man's wiskers. They can tear a man's hide off."
"Anything that wiggles and moves, they'll cat," he said.
And when these fish bite, they really bite
Harvey Hasler, manager of Lunker Bait and Tackle. 961 E. 23rd St., said the catfish were large because they were old and could find plenty of food in the Kaw to eat, such as small fish, frogs, crawdads and snakes.
"Yeah, you know when you have a big one on your line," Russell said.
a five-inch channel catfish and tossed it back into the river.
"I only keep em when they weigh more than two pounds," he said.
The catfish congregate by the dam, said Ernest Higgins, Lawrence resident, because it is their nature to swim upstream and the dam blocks their path.
"People just don't catch 'em, so they grow," he said.
The more you hear the better we sound.

Jim Russell. Lawrence resident, bails his hook in hope of catching something to fill the frying pan. He was fishing Easter day on the Kaw River dam across from the Bowersock Mills and Power Co., Sixth and New York streets. Russell never caught the big one. He had to settle for a lot of nibbles and a five-inch channel catfish, which he tossed back.

Gorbachev announced Sunday that he had accepted President Reagan's call for a summit and would unilaterally halt defence spending. SS-20 missiles targeted on Western Europe.
Gorbachev said the moratorium would last until November and he urged the United States to stop simultaneous deployment of Pershing 2 and cruise missiles in western
BUT THE WHITE House quickly dismissed the move as "not enough," citing a 10.1 Soviet superiority in medium-range nuclear missiles in Europe.
The deployment of 572 medium-range U.S. missiles in five international nations began in late 1983 as part of a 1979 NATO plan to counter the SS-20s. The United States said the Soviets had 414 SS-20s operational, two-thirds of them aimed at western Europe
Tass said yesterday that U.S. officials used "stale arguments" of Soviet missile superiority to reject Gorbachev's proposal and accused them of ignoring the American lead in the Cold War. Yet, after U.S. officials failed to include British and French forces in their missile count.
