and Kansas State University — greater financing for increased fee waivers
ANOTHER POSSIBILITY is that KU would be able to increase fee waivers over the 60 percent now allowed, but the University would have to finance the additional percentage.
Woodyard said the 60 percent waiver was not enough.
"I'm really disappointed that we did not achieve the level of fee waiver that we wanted," he said. "It's an important part of our recruitment effort."
He said that many of the universities competing with KU in attracting graduate teaching assistants offer higher fee waivers. The
University of Illinois, which has a graduate teaching program comparable to KU's, offers a 100 percent fee waiver. Woodward said.
Because some graduate students decide not to come to KU, the undergraduate program at the university does not offer it.
move toward a full tuition waiver for graduate teaching assistants."
"We clearly lose students to other universities because of that," he said.
James Carothers, chairman of the University Senate Executive Committee, said, "It makes us less competitive in our efforts to attract the best graduate students and instructors.
"TM DISAPPOINTED that we apparently won't make any progress in that area in this
Roshann Parris, executive coordinator of the graduate student council at KU, said a fee waiver increase was especially important because the tuition for graduate students would increase $80 next semester.
"With more and more costs, and the costs higher and higher, it's really debilitating our graduate program," Parris said.

yesterday to today so Solar Max could be rotated very slowly to put it in the right position to be grabbed by the shuttle's mechanical arm.
Wilson and Cliff have discussed several ways to use the money, she said, including converting the hall's sleeping area into private two-man rooms, adding a recreation room, or expanding the hall's second-floor bathrooms, kitchen or resident director's apartment.

Crippen will park Challenger underneath the satellite and Hart will use the snare on the end of the robot arm to latch onto a grapple fixture on the side of Solar Max.
Residents said that the improvements could add needed living space to the hall, where four residents live in each room. Battenfeld Hall has a sleeping porch.
Dennis Enslinger, Great Bend freshman and hall treasurer, said, "As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to build the addition and add four more rooms and cut down on occupancy."
He said that adding the four rooms would allow three residents to live in each room and reduce noise.
Greg Larson, Beloit freshman, said that besides adding rooms to the hall, he hoped the money would be used to take care of some business because震ence problems in the hall and to get a new oven.
Enslinger said that one problem in the hall was that the second floor showers leaked water and caused mold.
Larson said, "What I think is that Mr. Wilson and the men of the hall need to get together and talk about the internal improvements needed in the hall."

lawmakers adjourned last Thursday for two weeks of vacation.
The Legislature got a late start on the prison issue because neither chamber seriously considered the issue until about a week before the legislators went home.
A day before the adjournment, House Speaker Mike Hayden, R-Atwood, appointed a special committee of three House Democrats and three Republicans to find a solution to the overcrowding problem.
Hart made four unsuccessful grabs for the satellite Sunday after Nelson was foiled by a faulty docking device. Solar Max is expected to be an easier target now that it is stabilized.
The Legislature probably will focus much of its attention on resolving the prison issue when it reconvenes April 21 for several days of final work before adjourning for the year.
Barbara said the House special committee conducted an organizational meeting last week. He said the committee would meet elsewhere before the Legislature goes back into session.
Once Hart makes his catch, the arm will lower the satellite into a frame at the end of the shooter.
Barbara said that he would attend that meeting to urge the committee to adopt Carlin's
The property-tax increase would raise $13 million annually to maintain and expand existing prisons and build new prisons.
That plan calls for a permanent increase in the state property tax by one mill, which would add $1 in taxes to every $1,000 of assessed property value.
Another part of Carlin's plan would provide $633,600 to add 192 beds to the state prison system through a new Kansas State Reformer Lanning and the Kansas State Industrial Reformatory in Hutchinson.
Chilly weather, rain have stunted wheat in Kansas
By United Press International
Cool, wet conditions have caused an increase in disease infestations throughout the state with the greatest amounts of disease reported in areas where the soil has remained saturated for several days, the KCLRS reported. Soil-borne mosaic is the most prevalent disease.
TOPEKA - Cool temperatures and excessive moisture has retarded wheat growth in the state, the kansas Crop and Livestock Reporting Service said yesterday.
Wheat condition ranges from poor to fair in the western third of the state and from fair to good in the rest of Kansas. About 1 percent of the wheat acreage is in the jointing stage.
Surface and subsoil moisture are mostly adequate in the western third of the state while many counties in the central and eastern portions report a surplus of moisture.
Light to moderate winter freeze damage has occurred throughout the state with the north and east central districts reporting some severe snow from the harsh weather, the KCLRs reported.
A few cases of light to moderate wind damage was reported mostly in the southwest and in the central and south central districts, the KCLRS said.
Schlafly meets resistance from crowd of about 650 during speech at K-State
By United Press International
MANHATTAN - Phyllis Schlafly, a leading opponent of the Equal Rights Amendment, said last night that the amendment was contrary to the Constitution and the desire of most women in the United States.
Schlafy, founder of a national organization called STOP ERA, spoke to about 650 people at Kansas State University. She was sponsored by K-State's Issues and Ideas Committee.
"The ERA was born about 60 years ago," Schlafly, 60, said. "For about 50 years Congress had the good sense to leave it in the bottom drawer."
Schlaffy, who was both applauded and booed while she spoke, said her opposition to the ERA was based primarily on the premise that women would be forced to serve in the military.
"It's hard to convince anyone it's a step-up to get drafted and fight wars," Schaffly said. "The point is that the ERA comes into direct conflict with our culture and our traditions."
AFTER GIVING an overview of the ERA and her opposition to it, Schlafly faced a panel of four people who attacked her position.
Among the main points touched on by Schlaffy were that auto insurance costs for women would
rise under the ERA and that single-sex schools would no longer be allowed.
The ERA wouldn't have any effect on employment," Schlafly said. "Pay laws are already sex neutral, and there is a whole agency, the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission, to enforce them. It would give no rights to women that they don't already have."
Schlafy said the hidden agenda of ERA supporters was to get federal funding for abortions and to promote gay rights.
"ERAers are trying to force us into a mold of their own making." Schlaffy said.
But many in the audience were not in agreement with her position and were vocal in their criticism.
THE FOUR MEMBERS of the panel attacked her position, saying that discrimination still is present in employment.
Panelist Judy Davis, director of the Regional Crisis Center in Manhattan, said she wanted to present the audience with another point of view.
"I claim she does not own all that is good and moral that came out of our (women's) experience," Davis said. "It is a narrow, fantastic view she presents."

AURH committee endorses visitation counterproposal
By the Kansan Staff
An Association of University Residence Halls committee last night endorsed a counterproposal to an administrative visitation plan prohibiting residents from having overnight guests of the opposite sex in their rooms.
The plan, drafted by James Jeffley, AURH president, would toughen hall visitation rules but would allow residents to have overnight guests of the opposite sex if the residents first signed a waiver form making them responsible for their guests' actions. The plan would also require residents to get their roommate's permission before having such guests.
Before passing the plan, which now goes to the Residential Programs Advisory Board for discussion its meeting date and a洪ough guidance paper that would have required Templin and Joseph R.
Pearson Halls to hire security monitors to enforce security hours. Templin and JRP are the only KU residence halls without security monitors.
Several committee members said that the two nails should be required to hire monitors in order.
But Jeffrey opposed requiring the two halls to hire security monitors.
"Wandalism occurs in those halls which already have security." he said.
RPAB is now considering a proposal that would prohibit residents from having overnight guests of the opposite sex during security hours.
After the plan is discussed by RPAB, it will be sent to the AURH general assembly for consideration. If passed, it would go to back to RPAB.
Fred McElihenie, director of the office of residential programs, said action on the ORP proposal would be delayed until RPAB received a draft of the AURH plan.
