restore emergency budget reductions that were imposed in fiscal 1984.
The restoration of the funds is a high priority," the report said, "since what was a temporary fiscal crisis for the state became an effective funding reduction for the institutions."
But the full committee vote to eliminate the extra money for OOE, citing the decision made by the committee last week to hold the final vote at 4.3 percent above the fiscal 1989 amount.
STATE REP, JOHN Solbach, D-Lawrence,
then moved to reinstate the money for
the computer engineering program. His motion
passed on a voice vote.
"This program bodes well for both Lawrence and Douglas County as well as the University." Solbach said after the meeting. "It should be a drawing card for the University and also be of great benefit for the state of Kansas."
The committee also agreed to cut $100,000 recommended by the Senate to begin a maintenance program for automated equipment in some campus buildings.
It also eliminated $77,675 for a research program run by the department of human development and family life at Parsons State Hospital. The subcommittee's report said that the program's existing funds were not in danger and that it should be financed from the appropriate research funds.
THE SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT also put restrictions on the spending of $200,000 approved by the Senate to establish a matching fund for equipment purchases. The report said no more than 25 percent of the cost of each purchase could be paid from the
fund. The other 75 percent must come from private or federal sources.
It also authorized spending from two funds for the construction of the new Robert Dole Human Development Center. The center is located in a building in federal funds and $3 million in gift funds.
The committee last week made its recommendations on financing issues for all Regents schools. Yesterday, the sub-committee recommended assessments as they applied to KU. They include:
- A reduction of about $243,000 from the Senate's recommended increase in salaries for unclassified employees, which include faculty and graduate teaching assistants, or teachers, to increase their unclassified salaries. The Senate had approved a 5.5 percent increase.
*An addition to the Senate's proposal of about $224,000 for an extra 0.5 percent contribution by the state to a retirement fund for unclassified employees.
The Senate had agreed to an additional 1 percent contribution to the fund, but did not allot the money in its Regents package.
- A reduction of about $6,500 from the Senate's increase in student wages. This would allow a 5 percent increase in wages.
- The Senate's recommended 5.5 percent increase.
The House panel also specified that about $33,000 — about half of the proposed 5 percent increase — be used to boost wages above the federal minimum wage.
A GTA fee waiver of 68 percent. This is more than the current 60 percent fee waiver but less than the 75 percent waiver approved by the Senate.
groups have requested Senate funds and have been turned away because there was not time to follow the proper procedure, he said.
Senators last night also passed a petition asking that students convicted of nonconsensual sexual crimes or felonies that involve violence or threat of violence not be allowed to represent the University of Kansas.
Senate continued from p. 1
SENATORS ALSO PASSED a similar resolution criticizing the renewal of a scholarship for football player Roderick Timmons. Timmons, a defensive lineman, was convicted last year of sexual battery, a misdemeanor charge stemming from an assault in Jayhawker Towers last spring.
Another measure approved by the Senate canceled an increase in the women's and non-revenue sports fee that had been approved by the Senate early last month.
The measure approved last night rescinded a $2 increase in the sports fee from $4.50 to $6.50. The fee supports all intercollegiate sports except football and men's basketball. Students pay the fee with their tuition each semester.
During debate over GALA Week, Polack temporarily stepped down as chairman of the Senate meeting to speak against consideration of the bill to finance GALA week. The Senate committee participates in Senate debate unless he temporally gives up his position as chairman.
"I'M NOT ON a witch hunt for GLOSK. I can't on a witch hunt for GALA Week." Polack
but that decision later was overturned by Tim Henderson, Finance Committee chairman.
On Monday night, the Finance Committee voted to allocate the money for GALA Week,
During last night's meeting, Polack said he told Henderson that a bill identical to the GALA Week bill considered at the Finance Committee meeting had been submitted Monday afternoon to the Senate's executive secretary.
A Student Executive Committee rule forbids committees from acting on bills already submitted to the Senate's executive secretary.
Bills usually are submitted to the executive secretary, then to the vice president, who refers them to a committee. Bills first are approved by a committee, then by the full Senate.
LAST NIGHT'S MEETING was an emergency meeting scheduled to consider legislation not voted upon in last week's meeting. The meeting was submitted for consideration Monday afternoon.
Polack said the Senate had already punished other groups because of the rules. In the past, some groups have had to cancel events because they did not ask for funds early enough for senators to consider the requests.
In other action, senators voted down a resolution to tell the Associated Students of Kansas, the Kansas Legislature and Gov. John Carlin that ASK is not representing the students at the University on the proposed raise in the legal drinking age from 18 to 21.
But Tim Boller, holdover senator, said the Senate had been wrong in the past not to finance the projects.
Center director faces questions about day care
By United Press International
KANASS CITY, Mo. — The director of a day care center that cared for six children who recently suffered broken legs said the agency is investigating a grand injury investigation of the injuries.
Danise Hartfield, the director, was one of seven employees of the church-operated We Serve Humans school in Jackson to testify before a Jackson County grand jury yesterday.
"I guess I have mixed feelings," Hartfield said after emerging from the courtroom. "I do want to find out what has happened to the children. However, I feel insulted in regard to the grand jury investigation."
In a two-week span beginning March 11, six of the 12 infants enrolled at the center were treated for spiral leg fractures. Hartsfield said she thought authorities had made it possible avenues before convening a grand jury to question the center's employees.
"I insulted by this whole hearing process. I don't think it's being done fairly. The common denominator was the school that they (the children) all attended. That's the only avenue that's been investigated," Hartsfield said.
