By PHIL ENGLISH
Staff Reporter
The Kansas Union will ask the University of Kansas Memorial Board Corporation Saturday to approve various increases in the Union's 1985 fiscal budget, the Union director said yesterday.
One of the primary goals of the budget is an allocation of $20,000 that would increase salaries for some Union workers, said James Long, the director.
"Our personnel office worked on investigating the compensation levels
of the Union staff, as well as looked at similar institutions for their wage levels to be paid.
"We found that some of the positions were not up-to-date in salary wages." Long said that most of the salary implemen- tion would go to entry-level Union employees.
ALSO INCLUDED IN the budget request was a $3,000 increase in the budget for Student Union Activities. The budget also would allocate $7,500 for special student events at the Frank R. Burge Union.
The Union's general operating expenses budget, covering increased utility bills, building insurance, supplies and repairs at the Union, will go up 8 percent, from $1.7 million to $1.8 million, Long said.
The budget also would provide $1 million for the Burge Union's fiscal 1983 budget. Long said the additional money would allow the Burge Union to attain activities to the Burge Union
THE KU CONCESSIONS budget will be increased $50,000 to the concession stands in Allen Field House and Memorial Stadium, he said. The concessions budget will be about $2 million.
Increased operating expenses and increased used book purchases will account for a 6.7 percent increase in the
The KU Food Services budget would increase from $1.3 million to $1.4 million for fiscal 1985. Long said that he anticipated little or no price increases in food costs.

The Union board also agreed not to raise the Union fee charge of $28. Students will pay $20.50 for the Union fee and $7.50 for the Union renovation fund each semester.
The board also set up several guidelines to follow for fiscal 1985, Long said, including the appointment of a Futures Committee that will analyze the long-term needs of Union patrons and help to cut Union expenses.

The resolution, which would raise $94.5 million if approved by Kansas voters, is to be debated on the House floor today. The resolution was recommended by a special House committee studying the state's critical prison overcrowding problem.
While the Republican senators, who met in caucus, expressed displeasure over the tax increase.

Student Senate approves plan to ask for fast food in Union
By the Kansan Staff
The Student Senate last night approved a petition asking the Kansas Union Memorial Board to include a franchise in its renovation of the Union.
The Senate voted 24-14-1 in favor of the petition but defeated a motion to place the issue on a referendum for consideration next fall with a vote of 21-17-2.
The Senate will send the petition to the Union board for consideration.
Russ Ptacek, Numemaker senator and a co-sponsor of the bill, said last night that a fast-fooch franchise would fit into the Union's renovation plan and would benefit the Union by attracting more students.
He said that profits would be funneled
into the Kansas Union Bookstore to offset textbook prices, and the franchise would offer jobs and management training.
Jim Long, director of Unions, said that the Union board had been working on a renovation plan for two years and that his house would not fit into the present plan.
He also said he opposed using profits from the franchise to reduce textbook prices.
John Onken, architecture senator,
said he opposed the petition because a fast-food franchise would not fit into his plan. The sphere of the University of Kansas
In other action, the Senate approved a bill for $17,180 to provide another part-time attorney for the Student Legal Services in fiscal 1985.
