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 Senate increased 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 hard 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

Fish tales on banks
By MICHELLE WORRALL Staff Renorter
A whale of a talksur in the Kaw River across, from the old Rowsock Mill.
For years, fishermen have traded stories about monster-sized catfish that were bigger than themselves.
"Years and years ago I caught an 80-pound cat," said Ernest Higgins, a Lawrence resident who grew up along the river. "My parents taught me to have you fight to 'mil' 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 heart of Downtown. Trophy and perhaps a few minutes of fame

soums kind of fishy, doesn't it? But this isn't another tale about the big one that I remember.
LAST YEAR, THE biggest fish dragged into the bait shop weighed 61 pounds, said Judy Higgins, the shop's owner.
LAWRENCE'S GIANT catfish could mean big bucks for Mrs. Paul. For example, one 85-pound catfish would be worth $34,800 crunchy, lightly bittered fishbites.
The lure of landing a big one drew awareness residents. Russell and Andrew were driven by rivalry on the street.
WITH PIN-POINT accuracy Russell cast with a side arm motion. His line, laden with sinkers and worms, gracefully bowed and plunged into the deaths of the river.
Bigger, 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.
"I TWO D 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 $800,000 from the general fund, almost $4 million

And when these fish bite, they really bite.
"Yeah, you know when you have a big one on your line," Russell said.
Harvey Hasler, manager of Lunker Bait and Tackle, 651 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.

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'
United Press International
SCOW - The Soviet Union accused in the administration yesterday of "a gross its missile count and of pursuing a serious policy" by dismissing Soviet Mikhail Gorbachev's call for a orium on deploying missiles in Europe.
orium on deploying missiles in Europe,
seems that the U.S. administration
lathers neither the arms reduction nor the renunciation of the arms buildup" sought in arms 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 hate democrats. He said S-20 missiles targeted on 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 oepayment 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 the decision in other nuclear warheads. Tass also said U.S. officials failed to include British and French forces in their missile count.
