"The states are going to have to start carrying more of the burden," she said.
The professors expressed concern about the quality of faculty at KU.
Shapiro said the state needed to increase salaries and fringe benefits or face losing some professors and failing to attract new ones.
"We need to maintain our excellence while competing with others who are trying to do the same," he said.

proposal written by the Regents Classified Council.
The proposal includes a request for a 9 percent cost-of-living increase in salaries over the next three years. It also asks that the Legislature decide on classified employee salaries near the beginning of the session, rather than at the end, when classified salaries traditionally are addressed.
Duncan said, however, that classified employees sometimes got better raises and benefits if they waited until the end of the session.

But in the provincial capital of Chalatenango, 47 miles north of San Salvador, thousands of voters crammed polli-

DENNEY SAID THE $800 allocated by Student Senate for security for Farrakhan's visit only paid for officer overtime related to the visit.

What's the difference of that Denney said police and KBI officers

Aidan had Denney talked about the problems that could have arisen if someone had taken a shot at Farrakhan with a gun.
Lt. Jeanne Longaker, KU police spokesman, said, "When you only have site and not personal security, you have to work by instinct. Not all agencies would do or want to do, we'd have to go in by instinct and react to what the situation was.

The condition of an 11-year-old heart transplant recipient at the University of Kansas Medical Center has been upgraded from critical to serious following a heart transplant Thursday, a nursing supervisor at the Med Center said yesterday.
On Thursday morning, a man claiming to be a member of the militant Jewish Defense Organization called the Kansan newsroom, the kU chapter of Hillel and the KU police department. The man, who said his name was Eddie Feldman, was in violence at the Farrakhan speech that night.
George said his fraternity acted as liaison between KU police and Farakkhan's security people, relaying information between the two groups.
Denney said Levy's call to the police did not include these threats.
Travis Newton, a fifth-grade honor student from Pittsburg, was removed from a respirator on Friday and has been breathing on his own since then. Ruth Heaton, the supervisor, said. He can talk and get out of his bed.
Thomas Bixler, the surgeon in charge of the operation, said he was very pleased with the surgery. The heart arrived at the Med Center in Kansas City, Kan., at about 10 p.m. Thursday from a Midwestern state and pummed by 11 p.m.
A. Michael Borkon, a cardiothoracic surgeon who will take charge of the Med Center's transplant program in July, assisted Bixler in the transplant.
Bixler resigned last month from his position at the Med Center to help begin a heart transplant program at Tallahassee Memorial Regional Medical Center.
