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 supported the work assigned by the Regents and John Carlin.
The House approved by a 101-21 vote the budget recommended by its Ways and Means Committee last week. The Senate increases than those approved last month by the Kansas Senate.
The $645 million appropriations bill now 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 hard on the floor to restore the budget cuts.
"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

Fish tales on banks
By MICHELLE WORRALL Staff Reporter
A whale of a tale lurks in the Kaw Riv across from the old Bowersock Mill.
For years, fishermen have traded
their catch about monster-sized catfish that
linger in the waters of Florida.
"Years and years ago I caught an 80-pound cat," said Ernest Higgins, a bacon farmer in southern California who raised the Kaw. "When they are that big you have to fight 'em till they give up."
In warm weather, fishermen gather by the dam across from Bowersock Mills and the town across from nearby streets, in hopes of catching a 60-pound trophy and perhaps a few minutes of fame.
Snapshot of grinning fishermen proudly posing with their hefty catches are tacked up on a wall of Higgins Bait Shop, Second Floor, east from Lawrence Riverfront Park.
Sounds kind of fishy, doesn't it? But this
another tale about the big one that
hasn't been told.
LAST YEAR, THE biggest fish dragged into the bait shop weighed 61 pounds, said Judy Huiusins, the shon's owner.
LAWRENCE'S GIANT catfish could mean big bucks for Mrs. Paul. For example, an 85-pound catfish would be better suited to a 300 crunch, lightly buttered fiskets.
The lure of landing a big one drew lawrence residents like Jim Russell and Paul McCarthy.
WITH PIN-POINT accuracy Russell cast with a side arm motion. His line, laden with sinkers and worms, gracefully cut through the cool air and plunked into
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 effort 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

Harvey Hlaser, 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.
a five inch channel catfish and tossed it back into the river.
"Anything that wiggles and moves, they'll eat," he said.
"I only keep 'em when they weigh more than two pounds," he said.
"Yeah, you know when you have a big one on your line," Russell 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.
According to an old fisherman's tale, a man dove into the water and never came back.
"Everyone assumed that he went under the dam," Judi Higgins said. "But they didn't."
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.
And when these fish bite, they really bite.
"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.

jim Russell, Lawrence resident, baits 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.

oviets call J.S.count 'gross lie'
United Press International
OSCOW — The Soviet Union accused the gan administration yesterday of “a gross in its missile count and of pursuing a aggressive policy” by dismissing Soviet er Mikhail Gorbachev's call for a atorium on deploying missiles in Europe.
"It itse that the U.S. administration wishes neither the arms reduction nor the renunciation of the arms buildup" sought in 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 defense spending. S-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 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 accused them of ignoring the American lead in the arms race. He also said U.S. officials failed to include British and French forces in their missile count.
