Senate set to weigh expansion
Doctored up' Watkins would offer students faster, better service
By Ashley Schultz Kansan staff writer
Students may be asked to pay $15 for the fall and spring semesters and $7.50 for the summer semester to finance a $5,650,000 expansion to Watkins Memorial Health Center.
The full Student Senate is expected to consider the restricted fee tonight.
The 20,000-foot expansion would constitute one-fourth of Watkins, said Jim Strobl, director of Watkins. It would extend Watkins to the trees edging the athletic field north of the building.
Expansion plans are tentative, he said. Plans will be drawn up if the proposal passes the Senate and is approved by the Board of Regents.
With the expansion, doctors could see as many as 13,000 more patients a year, and walk-ins would have shorter waits, Strobl said.
The proposal calls for 13 blocks of rooms in the general medicine area, each with one office and two examination rooms. General medicine currently has seven offices and nine examination rooms. The additional rooms would allow support staff to usher patients into rooms faster and to collect preliminary information while the doctor finishes examining a patient in another examination room.
"With the situation we have now, if we had three people in bed, we might have six people in the hall waiting to get in," said Jim Boyle, associate director of Waltkins.
The boost in efficiency could raise the percentage of appointment visits from about 25 percent to as much as 70 percent, Strobl said.
The urgent care area would be enlarged to roughly four times its current size, Strobi said. Eight to 10 beds would take the place of the three there now.
Getting prescriptions filled would be easier in the larger, revamped pharmacy, Strobl said. Also being considered are computer enhancements and about 40 "Baker Cells," which can count and dispense medication instantaneously.
The Watkins expansion bill has been delayed about a month so that a proposal for a women's and non-revenue sports fee can be considered at the same Senate meeting.
Boyle said proponents of the expansion hoped to secure state bonds for construction before the government tinked up interest rates.
The bill was amended at the Jan. 26 Senate Finance Committee hearing to raise the initial fee proposals of $11 in the spring and fall and $5.50 in the summer, said Tonya Cole, head of the Student Health Advisory Board and sponsor of the bill. Student senators said the $15 and $7.50 fees would pay the bonds off faster and would save about $2 million in interest.
The restricted fee would end in about 20 years, when bonds for the project are paid off.
Alain Adjet, Paris graduate student and a veteran of the walk-in wait, said the expansion plan was worth the $15.
"There are times where it could be 15 minutes, and there are times where it could be more than an hour, more than two hours," Adjed said.
Gubernatorial candidate presents views
By Stephen Martino Kansan staff writer
Bill Graves, Republican secretary of state and gubernatorial candidate, spoke before about 35 students last night at the Pioneer Room in the Burge Union. His appearance was sponsored by the KU College Republicans.
Managing the budget of Kansas is a priority of the governor, and one candidate said he was well-prepared to handle that responsibility.
Graves said that unlike some of his opponents who have experience in legislative bodies, he had the experience of working within a budget.
"The budget and fiscal management has got to be a priority of the next gov-
error," he said. "We've got to be a lot more proactive with the resources we've got."
The secretary of state's budget has increased just 1 percent in the past four years, Graves said, whereas the state budget has increased 9 percent.
After about a 40-minute presentation, Graves took questions from the audience. He discussed issues ranging from higher education to the South Lawrence Trafficway.
"I know how to keep a budget under control," he said.
Graves said that the various groups involved with the trafficway must get together to reach a common position. He said he thought that the new road would benefit all of eastern Kansas.
the Board of Regents system and the passage of the Partnership for Excellence is a timely idea, Graves said.
"It's time for Washburn to join everyone else," he said. "It is a valuable part of the state educational system. But they both come together, or it won't be a deal."
Washburn University's entry into
Graves said he was pleased that the Senate had passed a death penalty bill, which he said would be best for the people of the state.

Janez Lomshek, Pittsburg freshman, said that Graves could provide leadership, something the Gov. Joan Finney had not done.
"Bill could be a strong leader," he said. "Managing a budget will help him prevail."
