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.
legislature. The House approved by a 101-21 vote the budget recommended by its Ways and Means Committee last week. The committee had proposed smaller 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 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 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 the partisan basis. If they get defeated on a
Housing to move in

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 o

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 linger in the murky depths.
"Years and years ago I caught an 80-pound cat," said Ernest Higgins, a Lawrence resident who grew up along the Mississippi River. "I have you to fight 'em, 'til they give up."
In warm weather, fishermen gather by the dams across from Bowersock Mills and Power Co. Sixth and New York streets, in the town center, are a trophy, 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 gets away — there's proof.
Snapshot of grinning fisherman proudly posing with their hefty catches are tacked on a wall of Higgins Bait Shop. Second floor, east from Lawrence Riverfront Park.
LAST YEAR, THE biggest fish dragged into the bait shop weighed 61 pounds, said Judy Higgins, the店's owner.
LAWRENCE'S GIANT catfish could mean big bucks for Mrs. Paul. For example, one 85- pound catfish would be the equivalent of 1,800 crunchy, lightly battered fishsticks.
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 error 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 from the state general fund, almost $4 million
Maryland, says. "It doesn't matter what the campus does. You're not going to stop the students from drinking. No way." In fact, banning booze could conceivably promote alcohol use by giving it the cachet of an illicit activity. "Raising the drinking age," says Tufts sophomore Pam Patton, "will just make it more of a big deal."

"will play this new prohibition will certainly succeed in changing where students drink—but not necessarily as the lawmakers intended. Ironically, at the college level the law will probably encourage inebriated driving to a certain extent. "Those who aren't of age," says South Carolina "will fee to a place where they can drink—on the road, when the car, a barn in the country, wherever." There is also the trouble question of whether an age group should be made to pay for the mistakes of a minority. "We have been made the undeserving
scapegoats of this nation problem," said M. Tory Snell, head of the South Carolina student legislature. "Of us have never been involved in an alcohol-related incident, we have been portrayed as a generation of wanton drunkers."
While applauding some of the benefits of the crackdown, many administrators are concerned that America's previous attack on alcohol may be repeating itself. Just as nationwide Prohibition failed to control drinking in the 1920s, they suspect that
minimum-age-of-21 laws will fail to legislate morality on campuses now. "The evil isn't drinking, it's abusing the substance," says Ray Goldstone, UCLA's dean of students "I do not believe that beer or wine or other spirits are inherently evil." Some officials fear that students will be less willing to seek education and treatment because of the illegality of alcohol. As Princeton's chief counsel, Thomas Wright, puts it, "We've an enormous educational dilemma on our hands. It's a learning time for students, and if we can be a participant in the students' learning about alcohol, we can perhaps help them with它. If we really are forced into the position of the law-enforcement officer, we lose the capacity to influence. Knowing how to drink responsibly may be an important real-life skill—but increasingly, it will not be something students are encouraged to learn in the sheltered

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.

Sally keep calm when they weigh more than two pounds." he said.
"People just don't catch 'em, so they yrow." he said.
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 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 bale off."
"Everyone assumed that he went under the dam." Judy Higgins said. "But they were too blinded."
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, 651. E.I. 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, 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 S. count 'gross lie'
ed Press International
POW - The Soviet Union accused the administration yesterday of "a gross its missile count and of pursuing arous policy" by dismissing Soviet Mikhail Gorbachev's call for an on deploying missiles in Europe, items 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.
week after Gorbachev announced Sunday that he had accepted President Reagan's call for a summit and would unilaterally halt deployment of Soviet triple-warhead SS-20 missiles targeted on Western Europe.
Gerbache said the moratorium would last until November and he urged the United States to stop simultaneous deployment of 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 foreign 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 being involved in other warheads. Tass also said U.S. officials failed to include British and French forces in their missile count.
