Unfinished business
1993 budget not yet finalized Fiscal year 1993 begins today, but the University of Kansas does not have a budget.
It should be available to the public by Monday at the earliest, said Richard McKinney, budget director. McKinney said neither the printed budget nor its contents were finalized because the administration still was revising departmental allocations. It is not unusual for the budget to be released after July 1, he said. The state fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30 of the following year.

A variety of new Kansas laws take effect today
By John Brothers Special to the Kansan
Beginning today, a person operating a motorized wheelchair in Kansas no longer has to have a driver's license to use the street when the sidewalk is not accessible.
Kansas merchants cannot longer require credit-card users to list their addresses and phone numbers on the transaction form.
And alcoholic beverages can be consumed on Kansas historical society props.
The 1992 Session Laws, published by the state, is the official listing of all laws passed by the Legislature and approved by Gov. Joan Finney during this year's legislative session.
This year's book is 2,508 pages and has 327 bills, said John Reinhart, director of communications for the secretary of state. Reinhart said that most of the bills would take effect today although some had a later effective date.
The motorized wheelchair law corrected a technical problem. Under previous law, a motorized wheelchair met the technical definition of a motor vehicle. Strict, by the letter enforcement of the law would have made operating a motorized wheelchair subject to the same requirements as operating a car or truck.
The new law exempts motorized wheelchairs from those requirements and also defines persons using motorized wheelchairs as pedestrians for traffic
enforcement purposes
Examples of other legislation going into effect today.
State buildings can now be insured against fire and other forms of physical loss. The Department of Administration is authorized to purchase insurance on state buildings that presently are not covered.
Under this policy, Hoch Auditorium could have been rebuilt with insurance money rather than money from the state general fund.

Some state boards, commissions and committees were abolished. Kansas no longer has a milk advisory committee, a hazardous waste disposal facility approval board or an advisory commission on health and environment. However, effective today, Kansas has a review committee for the practice of podiatry, a sheep council and a pecan commission.
Abortion ruling takes effect
Recent court ruling affects abortions in Kansas
Decision
The opinion by these five justices upheld the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision, which guaranteed a woman's right to an abortion. The justices also upheld the case against uphold Roe v. Wade in its entirety, but joined the other three justices in the opinion of the court in allowing states to
The Supreme Court voted 5-4 Monday to uphold a woman's right to an abortion but permitted states to impose some restrictions that do not create an "undue burden" on that right.
Dissent
The dissenting justices wanted to overturn Roe v. Wade and allow states to outlaw same-sex marriage, however, with O'Connor, Souter, and Kennedy to uphold all the Pennsylvania provisions.
Effects on Kansas
Kansas' new abortion law takes effect today. It is constitutional under the new ruling and outlines specific restrictions that are similar to the Pennsylvania restrictions.
- Women must be told about the procedure, its risks, and its alternatives.
Women must wait at least eight hours before the operation.
- Women under 18 years old and unmarried must not a parent or get a state judges authorization before an abortion.

Regents raise tuition again
Second increase will create scholarships
By Chris Moeser
Kansan staff writer
If last week's Board of Regents meeting was any indication of things to come, then students will pay more and more for their education in the future.
The Regents approved an 8-percent tuition increase for both Kansas residents and out-of-state students effective in Fall 1993 at the University of Kansas, Kansas State University and Wichita State University. The Regents approved a 6-percent increase for the other three state universities.
The increase comes on the heels of a 10- percent tuition hike for Kansas residents and a 12.5-percent increase for out-of-state students this fall.
Residents will pay $28 a semester this year. Non-residents will pay $2,814 a semester. Fees will be an additional $171 a semester for residents and non-residents.
In Fall 1993 those figures would rise to $786 a semester for residents and $3,039 a
senester for non-residents if the increases are approved by the Legislature. Del Shankel, interim executive vice chancellor, said the tuition increase would be used primarily to establish a scholarship program for talented out-of-state students.
The program would allow athletes, national merit scholars, and gifted musicians and artists, among others, to pay the resident school students. The scholarship the scholarships could be used for
The scholarship plan, if approved by the 1963 Legislature, would be phased in gradually. KU would provide 38 scholarships in Fall 1995, 57 in 1996 and 75 in 1997.
Shankel said the plan was crucial because it would help Kansas' three major universities recruit talented students from surrounding states. Other Big Eight schools have had similar programs for several years.
The department raises about $3 million each year to pay for its scholarships. If the general fund paid the difference between the resident and non-resident tuition of some of these scholarships, the department would spend less of its own money.
Shankel said the program would be a big help to the Athletic Department.
ty of Oklahoma and the University of Nebraska could balance the costs of scholarships by drawing 75,000 fans to football games. KU's Memorial Stadium holds 50,250 fans, but attendance for the last several years has averaged just 30,000 fans a game.
Shankel said schools such as the Universi-
Shankel said the program would also help the University recruit academically talented students. Neighboring schools such as the University of Missouri and OU have been able to offer out-of-state waivers to national merit scholarships for several years, he said.
Shankel said he expected the trend of rising tuition rates at KU to continue. He said schools across the nation were raising student compensate for money lost in state budget cuts.
Missouri is raising tuition 47.1 percent over the next five years, according to Maurice Mannering, a university representative.
Tution at MU for residents this fall is $81.40 a credit hour, or $1,221 for a 15-40 semester. Non-residents pay $243.40 a credit hour, or $3.651 for a 15-hour semester.
Ane Barajas, an official in the admissions office at the University of Oklahoma, said that OU was not raising tuition in the fall but that tuition had increased each year for the past several years.
Minors can bypass law via courts
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — A minor who wants an abortion in Kansas but does not want to tell her parents could obtain one through the courts within six weeks, even if she must take her case all the way to the state Supreme Court.
Her case would be handled in near-secrecy from the moment she filled out a request for a "judicial bypass" in a district court clerk's office.
Kansas' new, more restrictive abortion law takes effect today. The state Supreme Court issued an order yesterday to establish the rules for the court system's handling of judicial bypass cases. Those rules are designed to make sure the cases are decided with unusual speed.
"I think it's obvious from the statute that time is of the essence," Chief Justice Richard W. Holmes said in an interview. "You can't wait around in an abortion case, or there won't be any case left."
The new procedure is unusual because of the confidentiality requirements and because there would be no prosecutor opposing a girl's request on behalf of the state.
"It's not like any other court procedure I'm aware of," Holmes said.
The new law requires doctors to notify at least one parent or guardian when a girl younger than 18 seeks an abortion. But, it allows a girl to go to court to get the requirement waved.
The law requires a district court judge to act within 48 hours, excluding Saturday and Sunday, after a girl files a request for a judicial bywass.
The rules also create a simple, two-page form a girl must fill out in seeking a judicial bypass. She has to put a mark beside applicable statements such as "Neither my father nor legal guardian is the person who made me pregnant" and "I have never been married."
If a girl appeals a district judge's decision, the Court of Appeals must issue a decision within 10 days of considering the case. The new rules indicate that oral arguments will not be presented in most cases.
If the girl is not satisfied with the appeals court ruling, she can appeal to the Supreme Court. It has 10 days to decide whether to hear the case, then another 15 days in which to rule.
CAMPUS SNAPSHOT
Information in last week's campus snapshot was incorrectly presented. The professors listed were not the top-10 highest paid full professors at the University of Kansas.
White males lead University's salary list
Editor's Note:
When the salary information that appeared last week was gathered from a computerized version of the University budget, several constraining variables were applied. The computer search produced a list of full professors with nine-month contracts and a full-time appointment funded by one line in the budget.
Other professors' salaries are paid from more than one line in the budget; named professorships, for example, are entered as separate lines. Appointments in more than one department also appear as separate budget items. Last week's snapshot did not take such multiple-line salaries into account.
The Kansan staff regrets the error and any confusion it may have caused.
Kansan staff report
Of the 10 highest-paid professors on nineteen month contracts at the University of Kansas in fiscal year 1982, which ended yesterday, nine were white, one was Asian-American, and all were male, according to the university budget.
According to a list provided by the University Budget Office, the highest-paid KU professor is Glenn Shafer, Ronald G. Harper distinguished professor of business. His salary is $113,100.
Ted Kuwana, Regents distinguished professor of chemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry, is a member of the American Academy of Pharmacology.
The top 10 consists of two business professors, three law professors, one actuar dean of

Janet Riley, assistant vice chancellor for academic affairs, pointed out that factors such as potential salaries in the private sector helped to determine professors' salary bases. For fields such as law and business, professors' salaries must compete with salaries that would be available outside the academic world.
