that considered KU's budget before the full committee took action.
The committee agreed to raise unclassified employee salaries 7 percent. Those employees had suggested 6 members. Carlin had suggested a 6 percent increase in the House had proposed a 7 percent increase.
The Senate committee's decision to increase unclassified salaries from 6 to 7 percent added $104 million.
THE BUGET DOES not include money for salary increases for classified employees, such as secretaries and maintenance workers. Money to pay those salaries in fiscal 1985 is expected to be included in another budget bill later this session.
In the $159.4 million budget for the Med Center, resident physicians at Bell Memorial Hospital would receive 7 percent salary increases. The House had recommended raising those salaries 6 percent, but the Senate proposal includes an extra $73,000 for those salaries.
The committee also decided to give the Archie Dykes Library at the Med Center $40,000 more than Carlin had recommended and $15,000 more than the House had suggested.
The bill approved by the committee also included more money for minor expenses such as building repairs, maintenance and equipment purchases. The Senate committee voted for an 8 percent increase in the budget for these expenses called the "Operating Expenses". Carlin had adopted a 5 percent OEE increase the House had approved a 6 percent OEE increase.
Winter said the increase in OOE for KU was made specifically to offset the summer 1982
WINTER SAID THE proposed budget increase for KU and the Med Center should be between $3.6 billion and $4.5 billion.
position as the recognized leader of the seven-school Regents system.
The other Regents schools are Kansas State University, Wichita State University, Fort Hays State University, Emporia State University, Oklahoma State and the Kansas Technical Institute in Salina.
The Senate committee also voted to increase the Regents system's utility expense budget 7 percent over fiscal 1984. Carlin had proposed an 8 percent increase.
Fiscal year 1985 starts July 1 and ends June 30, 1985.
ALTHOUGH THE SENATE committee's recommendations accounted for a $1.7 million increase in the House version of the bill, Werts said the bill was passed out of the Ways and Means Committee "pretty much as it came to us."
But Winter, who does not serve on the Ways and Means Committee, but has followed the budget bill closely, said both the House and Senate that there were greatly different from Carlin's proposal.
Winter said that the $107,000 that KU received to restore the 10 graduate teaching positions and the 8 percent increase in OOE were made up of the governor's the governor's 1982 across-the-board cuts.
BOTH THE HOUSE and Senate versions of the bill included money for KU and K-State to patch up the 1982 cuts, he said, but KU probably came out with the best overall deal.
Winter said the budget recommendations by the House and the Senate committee would send a message to Carlin that higher education should receive more money.
"I think the message is crystal clear," he said.
"The Legislature has said, 'That's enough. It' s time to stop the assault on higher education."
