A Lawrence nursing home that has been closed since January 1983 will reopen by May 1, the administrator for the nursing home said yesterday.
John Davy, the administrator, said that he hoped the nursing home, formerly Autumn Manor nursing hospital, 1800 W. 27th St., would be ready to admit patients by April 15, but if new problems arose the home might not open until May 1.
The nursing home will open under new management by Regency Health Center in Atlanta. An affiliate of the corporation purchased the housing unit valuation.
Davy said that costly improvements were needed for the 15-year-old building before the center could open.
The building has extensive plumbing damage, and the interior of the building also needs to be redecorated, he said.
When improvements are complete, the center will accommodate 100 patients.

Salvadoran church said endangered
Higher education and the Roman Catholic Church in El Salvador and Nicaragua are considered subversive by the El Salvador government and may become the victims of death squads, a KU professor and a local minister said yesterday.
Charles Stansifer, professor of history and director of the Center of Latin American Studies at the University of Kansas, and the Rev. Jack Bremer, director of the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, told an audience at the University Forum in the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building, 1204 Oread Ave., that the citizens in San Salvador, El Salvador, fell dislabeled and terrified
Bremer, who made his first visit to Central America on Jan. 3, said that the leaders of the churches of El Salvador were targets for kidnapping and assassinations.
Stansifer, who recently completed his 20th visit to Central America, takes on the prospects of higher education in the country.
"Education in El Salvador is at the very lowest end," he said. "As long as there is a civil war coming on, there will be inadequacies."
Senate approves farm tax measures
TOPEKA — The Senate narrowly approved legislation yesterday that would expand the property tax exemption for farm machinery and equipment to include machinery used in custom grain cutting.
The bill was one of 15 considered by the Senate in its attempt to meet yesterday's deadline for considering most bills that originated in the upper chamber. Also given the nod were bills that would close a loophole in the criminal code and prohibit most civil lawsuits claiming wrongful birth or conception.
The measure broadening the property tax exemption for farm machinery passed 21-19, with opponents saying other agriculture-related interests would try to expand the law to include their machinery, further reducing the tax base.

Regents may increase grad students' tuition
By GRETCHEN DAY
Skiff Bowler
Graduate students may be required to pay $60 more for their education in fall 1886 than undergraduates if options discussed this week by a Board of Regents subcommittee are approved this spring.
Staff Reporter
The Regents Tuition and Fees Committee discussed four ways to raise tuition at Regents schools for fall 1986 at a meeting Tuesday in Wichita.
NEXT YEAR, RESIDENT undergraduates will pay $450 in incidental fees, and resident graduate students will pay $490. Non-resident undergraduates will pay $1,200 next year, and graduate students will pay $1,415.
Three of the options would increase the difference between graduate and undergraduate tuition from $40 to $60, said Tom Rawson, Regents director of planning and budget.
Incidental fees, commonly called tuition, are set by the Regents and do not reflect other campus fees, which include medical services, student health and other fees.
Rawson said that the larger differential between undergraduate and graduate tuition would help compensate for the higher costs of graduate education.
The first option would increase tuition 8 percent at all Regents schools but maintain the $40 differential. Tuition for resident undergraduates would increase to $486 in fall 1986 and for resident graduates to $526.
“Our studies show that graduate education is more than double the cost of a four-year college.”
The second option increases the differential to $60 and raises tuition 7.5 percent. Resident undergraduates may pay $484, and graduates would pay $444.
The changes that will occur in fall 1966 will affect out-of-state tuition at the university.
The third option also creates a $60
differential while increasing tuition 7 percent at the University of Kansas, Kansas State University and Wichita State University.
TUITION AT THE OTHER Regents schools — Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University and Pitt-State University — would increase 13 percent.
Students at various Regents schools now pay for different portions of their education. For example, KU students pay for 28.5 percent of the cost of their education, but students at Emporia usually about 18 percent of their education.
Rawson said that the third option would help to encryptize this disparity and allow the attacker to access it.
Students should pay for about 25 percent of the total education program statewide, he said. This year, students at Regents schools paid for 25.6 percent of their education, and next year students will pay 25.4 percent.
AT KU IN 1985, Rawson said,
students will pay approximately 29 percent of the total cost of their education. K-State and Wichita State
each pay 23 percent, and students at the other schools will pay about 18 percent.
Under the third plan, KU, K-State and Wichita State students would pay for 26.5 percent of their education, while students at Emporia, Fort Hays State and Pittsburgh State would pay 19.5 percent.
The third option increases tuition at KU from $450 to $482 for under-graduates, and from $490 to $542 for graduates.
The fourth choice would eliminate the additional $10 academic service fee, and laboratory and course fees. All other fees, such as student health and student union fees, would remain the same.
At KU under the fourth option,
undergraduates would pay $495 in fall
1986, and graduate students would pay
$555.

House switches funds from Haworth project to new science library
By LORI DODGE
Staff Reporter
A little manipulation of state funds allowed a Kansas House of Representatives committee yesterday to recommend that $170,000 be earmarked for the proposed KU science library, which legislators said was a high-priority project.
The House Ways and Means Committee voted to shift that money from funds that were originally recommended to be used this year for an addition to Haworth Hall. The committee also voted to recommend the Legislature return the $170,000 to the Haworth project next year.
State Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence, a committee member, said that a new science library for the University of Kansas was a challenge to the University on the move toward the cutting edge of research."
Earlier this session, the Joint Committee on Building Construction recommended no financing for the library project this year.
THE COMMITTEE VOTED to recommend the funds, which would be used for preliminary planning of the library, after reviewing a report legislative subcommittee that met with University officials last week.
The committee did not recom
mend funds for the University's proposed renovation of Snow Hall, however.
Sobach said that although the Haworth renovation was a high priority, the new science library was now more important.
He said the committee recommended that funds for Snow Hall be approved next year.
The committee also recommended $197,750 to help support the Kansas Geological Survey in Moore Hall. That money would replace funds that had been raised by intent-to-drill fees — a temporary financing plan that was discontinued in 1983.
In addition, the committee recommended that 10 new full-time graduate teaching assistants be fitted with a personal computer to be financed by University savings.
IN AN EMERGENCY move that year, Gov. John Carlin cut $14.2 million from the Board of Regents base budget.
The subcommittee included a statement in its report that recommended that the Legislature restore emergency base budget reductions that were made in 1982. Solbach said.
The report said that the temporary fiscal crisis for the state in 1982 had become a permanent crisis at the Regents schools, he said.
"On the whole, KU was treated pretty well," Solbach said. "I think we're off to a good start."
