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 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 to increase 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 difficult to fight on the floor to restore the budget usurpation.
"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

Stoner was one of four finalists, all of whom visited the University in the past two months
Fish tales on banks o
By MICHELLE WORRALL Staff Reporter
A whale of a tale lurks in the Kaw River across from the old Bowersock Mill.
For years, fishermen have traded stories about monster-sized catfish that are as large as elephants.
"Years and years ago I caught an 80-pound cat," said Ernest Higgins, a Lawrence resident who grew up along the river where she lives. "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 neighborhood, trophy and perhaps a few minutes of fame.
Biggers, however, took a more relaxed approach to fishing. He lounged on a rock
Sounds kind of fish, does it? But this isn't another tale about the big one that we all know.
Snapshots of grinning fishermen proudly posing with their hefty catchs are lacked on a wall of Higgins Bait Shop, Second Street, east from Lawrence Riverfront Park.
LAST YEAR, THE biggest fish dragged into the bait shop weighed 61 pounds, said Judy Higgins, the shop's owner.
WITH PIN-POINT accuracy Russell cast with a side arm motion. His line, laden with sinkers and worms, gracefully sweeps through the arland and plunged into the deaths of the river.
LAWRENCE'S GIANT catfish could mean big bucks for Mrs. Paul. For example, one 85-pound catfish would be worth $10,000, 800 crunchy, lightly battered fiskets.
The lure of landing a big one drew lawrence residents Jim Russell and Michael Curtis.
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."

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.
"I only keep ermine when they weigh more than two pounds," he said.
But many years ago, fishermen dove into the water with large locks lashed to their wrists to try to snare the big catfish, also known flatheads, he said.
"People just don't catch 'em, so they grow," he said.
"Everyone assumed that he went under the dawn and打了个Higgins said. "But they didn't believe."
"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."
And when these fish bite, they really bite.
According to an old fisherman's tale, a man dove into the water and never came back.
"Yeah, you know when you have a big one on your line." Russell said.
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.
"Anything that wiggles and moves, they'll eat," he said.

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.

oviets call S.count 'gross lie'
ted Press International
COW — The Soviet Union accused the h administration yesterday of "a gross its missile count and of pursuing arous policy" by dismissing Soviet Mihail Gorbachev's call for a forum on deploying missiles in Europe. seems that the U.S. administration
wishes neither the arms reduction nor the renunciation of the arms buildup" sought in arm control talks, the official Tass news agency 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 detainees. 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坚守 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 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 threaten Ukraine with further in other nuclear warheads. Tass also said U.S. officials failed to include British and French forces in their missile count.
