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. The committee those amendments that have impeached 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 tight 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 defeat on the

A new director of housing has been picked to succeed J.J. Wilson, who is retiring this year after 30 years in the position.
Kenneth L. Stoner, associate director of residence halls at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, has been chosen to replace Wilson, the office of student affairs announced yesterday.
A search committee composed of faculty representatives, housing office personnel and presidents of student housing organizations read applications and interviewed applicants for the position. The search began in December.
Stoner was one of four finalists, all of whom visited the university in the past two months
Fish tales on banks of
By MICHELLE WORRALL Staff Reporter
A whale of a tale lurks in the Kaw River across from the old Rowersock Mill.
For years, fishermen have traded stories about monster-sized catfish that
"Years and years ago I caught an 80-pound cat," said Ernest Higgins, a Lawrence resident who grew up along the river with his family. "You have to fight 'em, till they give up."
In warm weather, fishermen gather by the dam across from Bowersock Mills and Power Co. Sixth and New York streets, in central New York, where photography and perhaps a few minutes of fame.
Snapshots of grinning fisherman proudly posing with their kefty catches are tacked on up a wall of Higgins Bait Shop, Second Avenue, east cast from Lawrence Riverfront Park.
Sounds kind of fishy, doesn't it? But this isn't another talk about the big one that I don't know.
LAST YEAR, THE biggest fish dragged into the bait shop weighed 61 pounds, said Judv Higgins, the shop's owner.
LAWRENCE'S GIANT catfish could mean big bucks for Mrs. Paul. For example, one 85- pound catfish would be battered to a 180 crunchy, lightly battered fishsticks.
The lure of landing a big one drew Lawrence residents Jim Russell and Jill Horton.
WITH PIN-POINT accuracy Russell cast with a side arm motion. His line, laden with sinks and worms, gracefully cut through the cool air and plunked into

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.
"I 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."

"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.
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.
"People just don't catch 'em, so they grow," he said.
"Everyone assumed that he wandered to the barn, and Hughes said. "But they never found him."
"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
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.
"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.

viets call S. count gross lie'
OW — The Soviet Union accused the administration yesterday of "a gross missile count and of pursuing a bus policy" by dismissing Soviet Mikhail Gorbachev's call for a gun on deploying missiles in Ukraine administration.
wishes neither the arms reduction nor the renunciation of the arms buildup" sought in arm control talks, the official Tass news agency reported, 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 decommissioning of 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 2 aircraft 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 nuclear program. U.S. officials failed to include British and French forces in their missile count.
