University budget approved in House
Tuesday. April 9.1985
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 reduces the increases requested by the Regents 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 recommended that the House approve this month and 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 more some of the lost money on the House foxf0.
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
"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 office of student affair commission yesterday.

Stoner was one of four finalists, all of whom visited the University in the past two months
Fish tales on banks

For years, fishermen have traded stories about monster-sized catfish that
A whale of a tale lurks in the Kaw River across from the old Bowersock Mill.
"Years and years ago I caught an 80-pound cat," said Ernest Higgins, a biologist. "We think we are banks of the Kaw. 'When they are that big you have to fight' 'em '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 the same area, where sculpture and photography and perhaps a few minutes of fame.
Sounds kind of fishy, doesn't it? But this isn't another tale about the big one that

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.
"IWILD 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."

"Anything that wiggles and moves they'll eat," he said.
a five-inch channel catfish and tossed it back into the river.
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.
But many years ago, fishermen dove into the water with large hooks lashed to their wrists to try to snare the big catfish, also known flatheads, he said.
"I only keep 'em when they weigh more than two pounds." 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."
"People just don't catch 'em, so they grow," he said.
"Everyone assumed that he went under the dam," Judy Higgeste said. "But they were able to do it."
According to an old fisherman's tale, a man dove into the water and never came back.
And when these fish bite, they really bite.
Harvey Hasler, manager of Lunker Bait and Tackle, 951 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.

Jim Russell, Lawrence resident, bait 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.

Soviets call J.S.count 'gross lie'
OSCOW — The Soviet Union accused the gan administration yesterday of "a gross in its missile count and of pursuing a aigerous policy" by dismissing Soviet
United Press International
moratorium on deploying missiles in Europe:
"It seems that the U.S. administration wishes neither the arms reduction nor the rearmament of the forces its arms control talks, the official Tass news agency said. The talks entered their fifth week in Geneva yesterday."
Gorbachev announced Sunday that he had accepted President Reagan's call for a summit and would unilaterally halt diplomatic relations. 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 Bombing 2 and cruise missiles in western Europe.
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 European 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 that they were using it in other nuclear warheads. Tass also said U.S. officials failed to include British and French forces in their missile count.
