Budget passed by Senate includes 7% faculty raise
TOPEKA — The full Senate yesterday gave final approval to a fiscal 1985 Board of Regents budget that would furnish a 7 percent salary increase to faculty members and would restore 10 graduate teaching positions at the University of Kansas.
The plan, the Senate's version of the appropriations bill for the Board of Regents seven schools, carries a price tag of $617 million.
The Senate's Regents budget is $4.7 million greater than the Regents budget proposed by Gov. John Carlin earlier this year. It also is $1.7 million higher than the plan passed by the House.
The Senate version will go to the House today. If the House accepts the $1.7 million worth of additions, then the bill will go to Carlin.
If the House does not agree to the changes, then the bill will go to a conference committee of three senators and three representatives.
Center's neighbors file 2nd appeal
The Crescent-Engel Neighborhood Association filed a second appeal Wednesday in an effort to reduce the size of the St. Lawrence Catholic Center's planned church and student center at Crescent and Angel roads.
ROADS:
Bill Barr, president of the neighborhood association, said that the appeal asked the Douglas County District Court to review the case and how it was dealt with by the Lawrence City Commission.
The commission approved the site plan for the project Feb. 28 on a 4-1 vote...
The neighborhood association filed the first appeal March 2 protesting a Board of Zoning Appeals ruling that the center's project was a church, not a school. The ruling meant the center did not need a special permit from the city.
Committee rejects closed meetings
The Senate Finance Committee last night voted against a closed-meeting resolution that would have restricted budget deliberations to members of the committee and the press.
The committee voted 11-4 against the resolution. Jon Gilchrist, chairman of the committee, said last night that he had been informed by the KU administration that the resolution was a violation of the Kansas Open Meetings Act.
The committee cannot open the meetings to the press and at the same time restrict noncommittee members from attending the budget deliberations that began last night, he said.
Student Senate rules dictate that organizations, funded by the student activity fee, must adhere to the Kansas Open Meetings Act.

AAUP forum discusses the value of athletics
By MATT DeGALAN Staff Reporter
The KU Athletic Department does little to help the University of Kansas fulfill its academic mission, two of four schools that lost the forum last night in the Kansas Union.
Members of the forum, sponsored by the Lawrence chapter of the American Association of University Professors, discussed how groups such as the KU Athletic Department and the Kansas Student Association affected academics.
EVELYN SWARTZ, another panelist and a member of the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation agreed with Carothers, but said that some progress had been made in recent years, with the academic advising for student athletes.
"As for its contribution to the academic mission of the University, I wouldn't even pretend to see the relationship," said panelist James Carothers, chairman of the University Senate Executive Committee.
However, Del Shankel, professor of microbiology and former acting chancellor, said college athletics served as a rallying point for alumni, students and teachers.
He also said that without college athletics, some students would not have the chance to receive a college education.
The fourth panelist, Deanell Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said that policy changes in academic monitoring and advising of athletes had improved the situation in recent years. "We don't do enough for all of our

CAROTHERS AND SWARTZ also said that the faculty members on the KUAC board needed to be aware of faculty views on the board's decisions. Aware of such issues, the faculty members of the KUAC board make regular reports to SenEx.
He said that groups such as the KUAC and the Endowment Association carried the University's name but were not its jurisdiction nor subject to its rules.
The idea for the forum came from David Katzman, professor of history, in a Jan. 19 letter charging KU basketball coach Larry Brennard with asking him to
Katzman attended the forum, which was broadened to deal with other areas besides athletics and academics. When the floor was opened for questions he said that the panel had avoided the issue of how special interest groups hurt the academic integrity of the University.
