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.
Staff Reporter
The House approved by a 101-21 vote the budget recommended by its Ways and Means Committee last week. The committee had approved the spending plan and 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 1902.
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 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

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.

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.
"Everyone assumed that he went under the dam. Judy Higgins said, 'But they damn me.'"
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.
"Yeah, you know when you have a big one on your line," Russell said.
"I only keep 'em 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, be 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."
According to an old fisherman's tale, a man dove into the water and never came back.
"People just don't catch 'em, so they grow," he said.
"Anything that wiggles and moves, they'll eat," he said.

Jim Russell, Lawrence student, bats 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 caught a channel catfish, which he tossed into a settle for a lot of nibbles and a five-inch channel catfish, which he tossed into a settle.

oviets call S.count 'gross lie'

COW — The Soviet Union accused the in administration yesterday of “a gross its missile count and of pursuing a serious policy” by dismissing Soviet officials from the university 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 reported. It 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 deal negotiations. S-20 missiles targeted on Western Europe.
Gerbacher 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 Pacific.
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 development of the missile U.S. officials failed to include British and French forces in their missile count.
