CAMPUS BRIEFS
Study Abroad program meets today at 4 p.m.
Students who signed up for the Spring 1995 Western Civilization Study Abroad program will have their first meeting today at 4 p.m. at the Walnut Room in the Kansan Union.
Nancy Mitchell, director of the Study Abroad Program, said Jim Woelfel, the director of the Western Civilization Program, was organizing the trip.
The students will spend the first half of the semester in Florence, Italy, and the second half of the semester in Paris.
Mitchell said students could still sign up for the trip in the Study Abroad office or the Western Civilization office.
"We have had a record number of students who applied, but we still have room for a few more people," she said.
awards to honor role models
The first annual Golden Image Awards ceremony will be hosted tonight by Black Panhellenic. The cere-
Krista Morgan, St. Louis senior, helped organize the awards presentation.
"The purpose is to recognize individuals and organizations who have stood out in the KU and Lawrence Community," she said.
monties; part of Black Panhellenic's "Unity Week," will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. in Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
The awards will honor students, faculty, administrators, fraternities and sororites who have promoted unity, Morgan said.
"We feel it's important to recognize people's achievements," she said. "For people to keep excelling, they need to be recognized."
Morgan said that minorities lack role models in the Lawrence community and hoped tonight's ceremony would help change that.
Fifteen awards will be presented, culminating in the 1994 Unity Award.
"The Unity Award will be given to the person who has reached out and tried to promote unity," Morgan said. A reception will follow the ceremony.

Legislators say fiscal crisis possible for Kansas in 1996
By John Hanna The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Many legislators, especially Republicans, worry that they are creating a budget crisis, one that might require them and a new governor to consider increasing taxes next year.
The problems would not occur for the budget they are building now, for fiscal year 1995, which begins July 1. The crisis would occur after the 1995 Legislature convenes and members begin putting together the budget for fiscal 1996. Researchers have told legislators that they should expect to have very little additional money with which to work.
Some legislators say the problem is even worse, because they can count on the costs of social programs to grow and the number of children in
public schools to increase.
If they're right, legislators will have three basic choices: cut social and education programs, dip into the state's treasury reserves or increase taxes.
However, there is no serious discussion yet of trying to prevent the crisis before it happens.
"My guess is that some people don't want to deal with the tough issue this year, or they want to make it an election-year issue," said Rep. Henry Hergerson, D-Wichita. "I call this baloney budgeting."
Some Democrats contend the situation is not so serious as it seems. For one thing, some of the fiscal 1995 spending is on one-time items.
tee, said the new governor would probably propose cuts. That would allow legislators to play the heroes, change the treasury balance law and prevent cuts, he said.
But Sen. Gus Bogina, R-Shawnee, chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, noted that if the state dipped into its reserves, it would spend funds that will not be replenished for continuing expenses.
---
Some legislators do not see a serious problem. Others believe that legislators have been relatively frugal this year and have not financed major expansions in programs.
And finally, legislators as a group may not have the will to make cuts this year.
"I would say the possibility of that is rather remote," Bogina said. "I'd love to do it, but the mood is not there."
