Special programs may lose funds
By ROBIN PALMER Staff Reporter
Kansas San. Bob Dole told members of the Kansas Association of Retarded Citizens yesterday that federal money for special programs would be cut or reduced unless Congress curtailed the rapidly growing federal deficit.
"The fastest growing program in Congress is the interest on the debt," the Republican senator said during a hearing Holodomov 200 McDonald Road.
Dole said that a bill would be introduced today in the Senate that was designed to reduce the federal deficit by $74 billion over a three-year period.
The interest on the current deficit of
$130 trillion is about $130 billion
annually.
"We must demonstrate to the American people that we are responsible and can be a model for others."
The bill to reduce the deficit will be
introduced as part of a package that will include a proposal to reinstate tax credits for businesses that correct structural and transportation barriers for the handicapped, he said.
DOLE SPOKE TO more than 50 members of the association as part of the association's 28th convention. After the short speech, he visited with members of the audience for about 15 minutes before leaving to catch a plane.
During the speech, Dole said that programs like the Kansas Association for Retarded Citizens were dependent on the status of the federal deficit.
As the deficit and the interest that must be payed on the deficit increases, he said, programs supported by the federal government suffer.
"The least powerful voices get cut," he said.
Dole, who is chairman of both the Senate nutrition and finance committees, said he had witnessed the struggle
"MOST AMERICANS ARE willing to make contributions — to take less or give up a little bit," he said.
among federal programs to get federal money.
Dole also expressed concern for a new program that allows businesses to claim tax credit for hiring handicapped workers. He said he did not know whether the program was a benefit for the handicapped employees and the employer.
"It's easy to push people aside, especially if they're not in the mainstream, whatever that is." said Boleh, who is partially paralyzed in his right arm.
In addressing equal access to voting rights, Dole said that efforts should be made to aid the handicapped in the voting process.
Sometimes, he said, a handicapped person is not able to obtain access to voting booths because of structural barriers.
Storm costs KP&L about $8.5 million
By the Kansan Staff
"We've never had anything this severe." Bran said.
The ice storm that whipped through the Midwest three weeks ago caused about $436,000 damage to the Kansas Power and Light Company's electric system in the Lawrence area, the division manager said last week.
Damage to the entire KP&L system in Kansas, which serves an area from Kansas City to Oyster (west of Hays), was caused by a fire said Fred Bryan, the division manager.
Most of the damage in Lawrence is repaired, he said. About 880 service lines attached to houses and primary
wires running through alleys and streets were knocked down during the fire.
Some of the estimated cost includes bringing in workers from other utility companies and private contractors to help repair the damage, Bryan said. An estimated $2 million was spent statewide to pay those workers.
In Lawrence, 42 people from Nebraska, Oklahoma and Missouri helped repair the system, he said. About 600 workers from Chicago, Texas, New Mexico and Colorado assisted statewide.
Out of 46,000 customers in the Lawrence division, Bryan said, about 15,000 were without power during the peak of the storm. More than one-fourth of all 77,000 KP&L customers in Kansas lost power at some time during the week after the storm.
The Topeka and Hutchinson areas received the most damage from the harsh weather. The estimated cost of repairing the damage in the Topeka area is $2.5 million, and company officials say they expect to spend about $1.5 million for repairs in Hutchinson.
In other KP&L divisions, the estimated cost of repairs is: Salina,
$850,000; Abilene $770,000; Manhattan,
$150,000; Emporia, $710,000; and Leavenworth,
$219,000.

Committee to work on budget
With three weeks remaining before the Student Senate must approve a budget for the next fiscal year, the Student Senate Finance Committee will attempt to complete deliberations on the budget blueprint tonight.
Jon Gilchrist, the committee chairman, said he planned to complete the budget tomorrow at the latest because it would be submitting the budget was running out.
The Senate, which has only two more scheduled meetings, must approve a budget before May 1 or none of the bills passed by the senate have money to begin the next school year.
Gilchrist said that the earliest that the Senate could consider the budget would be at a special meeting April 18. He said he would request an emergency hearing before the meeting later this week and ask the committee to call the special Senate meeting.
GILCHRIST SAID HE had planned to finish deliberations last week but agreed to postpone the deliberations, which began March 30, until the Senate passed a resolution removing of four committee members who were accused of discrimination.
Senate rules require that senators

days to review the budget before
commitment.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said Friday that he had set May 1 as the Senate's budget. Mr. Ambler also planned to incorporate the budget into the KU budget before it was sent to the Board of Regents in June.
CARLA VOGEL, student body president, said that Ambler had told her that she could submit the Senate's budget as late at commencement, May 13.
At an emergency meeting Thursday, the Senate voted 29-6-3 to allow the House to elect a new senator.
The University Senate Code, which governs the Student Senate, prohibits the Senate from meeting after the last day of classes, which is April 30.
Ambler said that if the Senate failed to submit a budget on time, the money designated for student organizations in the Senate's budget would be included as a lump sum in the University's budget would be put in escrow (for the summer).
Gilchrist said that tonight the Finance Committee would continue its third consideration of the budget requests totaling $158,000 from 70 student organizations. The committee had $61,300 to allocate.
STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS would have no money at the beginning of the school year, he said, and would have to wait until the Senate reconvened and passed a budget before they would have money for fiscal 1985.
This year's committee has taken a
affair to proceed to deliberate the
business. Gilbertsblr.
When the committee began deliverations, he said, it adopted a zero-based budget plan proposed by Jay Smith, a member of the committee.
Smith said that with the controversy that had arisen surrounding the budget hearings, the committee wanted to take a positive approach to the allocation. Instead of cutting organization's budget, the group would build each budget starting from zero.
UNDER THE ZERO-BASED plan, the committee adopted a financing
philosophy that would apply to every group. The committee decided to pay rent and utilities for organizations that now occupy an office and pay personnel for employees in the past. The committee also decided not to finance living organizations.
The committee will look at requests for capital equipment individually but will pay only for equipment that will last more than three years. For instance, Glirist said, items such as a golf club and ping pong balls do not last three years.
To begin deliberations, the committee eliminated requests in the budgets that violated Senate rules such as money for long-distance calls, travel and speakers. The committee cut about $18,000.
IN ITS SECONDConsideration of each budget, the committee set limits on basic items and allotted only the minimum amount to each group. The limits were $25 for supplies, $30 for advertising, $40 for printing, $25 for duplication and $60 for audio/visual equipment.
Gilchrist said that during its third consideration of the requests, the committee would look at each group's projects and objects and increase budgets accordingly.
He said that the Senate's student organization budget, which was based on $1.81 from each student's activity fee, was the same as last year but that most organizations had asked for an increase.
The student organization's budget is $68,300, but Gilchrist said he asked the committee to save $5,000 for the student organizations unallocated fund for supplemental budget hearings next fall. He said he already had received requests for the supplemental hearings.
