projection and that a balanced budget would be prepared by April 1.
But KUAC officials will have to take some steps before the budget will be balanced.
One suggestion discussed at yesterday's meeting was to raise ticket prices. The members did not take action, however, and final approval of the promises will not come until the board's April meeting.
Mike Hammick, administrative assistant to the athletic director, presented a report from the Committee that proposed increasing the price of reserved seating at football games from $12 to $18.
The ticket committee proposed no changes in student season ticket prices.
Special offer seating, such as Junior Jayhawk and Family Plan prices, would also be increased
Tickets for the University of Nebraska game would be increased to $15 to take advantage of the large number of Cornhusker fans, who make the trip from Lincoln, Neb. he said.
He said that increasing the ticket prices for specific games was not unprecedented in the Big Eight Conference. The University of Colorado recently increased ticket prices for its game
against Nebraska from $12.50 to $18; he said.
For basketball, he said, single-game tickets would be increased between 50 cents and $1.
Hamrick said the University of Missouri planned to charge $18 instead of the usual $12.50 for a seat at the game.
Hamrick said that he planned to meet with the Student Sports Council to discuss student ticket prices and that any changes would be proposed at the KUAC April meeting.

Ticket price increases alone, however, will not generate enough income to overcome the projected deficit, Hammrick said. For this reason, the Finance Committee also recommended increasing donations and cutting costs, but it has never have had to drop up, said Don Green, a member of the committee and a professor of chemical and petroleum engineering.
Wachter the athletic department would conduct meetings with coaches to see whether coaching practices are being followed.
Board members raised little opposition to the proposed ticket price increase. However, Steve Young, a student representative, questioned the suggestion. The team had a difficult season for the Jayhawk football team.
problems at the University of Kansas. He will retire in July.
White
Yesterday he walked up and down the lobbies of Lewis Hall proudly wearing the red T-shirt that the residents had given him, thanking them with a warm "Curtis Howl."
White has a hearing problem, he said, and compensates for it with a booming hello that has echoed in every residence hall on campus. His residents tagged White's voice as the howl.
Although he's looking forward to retirement,
he said he was sure he will miss life at the University.
"I'll remember all the good things," he said.
"Setting up for the parties and sitting in the lobby," he added.
Most of all, he said, he will remember the students.
"Every year, it gets me all thrilled to see the boys coming to pick up their girlfriends," he said. "Just seeing the kids falling in love is great."
Michelle Elwell, Leavenworth freshman, was one of the women who was waiting in the line for the 12-hour drive.
person to greet her when she arrived at the hall last August.
"Curtis has the biggest heart of any guy I've ever known," she said. "We decided to give him something special for all the good times he has given us."
Ewell said that on some days when she was feeling depressed White would give her some advice.
"He's always so happy, and has a amule on his face," she said. "He's hard not to feel good around him."
White was born in Crockett, Texas in 1922, where he said he spent his childhood working to help support his family. He attended school and graduated and then dropped out to get a steady job.
In 1942, he was drafted into the U.S. Air Force and was stationed off the coast of Hawaii where he served in a medical hospital. It was a long time that he learned to appreciate life, he said.
"It was such a mess over there," he said.
"Having to ship boys home without the use of their legs or arms, really makes you appreciate your health."
After the war, White didn't go back to Texas, but instead made Lawrence his home. For several years, White worked at the Color press and he was one of its short-time. In 1988, he accepted his first job at KU.
"When I first got here, KU was really beginning to grow," he said. "They were building a bunch of new dorms and they hired a whole group of us to help put up the frontage."
"Since then I've worked at every dormitory and scholarship hall on campus."
Molly Martin, assistant resident director of Lewis Hall, said the months of planning to surprise White paid off when she saw the excitement in his eyes.
"Curtis was trying to get out of meeting all the girls, so that no one would see him cry," she said. "There isn't one person in this hall who doesn't care for him."
White said that because he worked hard and maintained a positive attitude and a good sense of humor.
"I like it the best when some of the girls come back and visit after they graduate," he said. Every year with some of my favorite girls come back to play with their husbands and let me play with their kids."

Communist Party" who consolidated Soviet military power and Moscow's international standing.
Chernenko met with delegations from the United States, Britain, West Germany, France and Italy and also met with leaders of the communist bloc and Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who heads the movement of non-aligned countries.
Thousands of mourners, some weeping, filled Red Square as Andropov's black- and red-draped coffin was lowered into a grave next to his sister, whom he or a final kiss from his sobbing widow, Tatiana.
Later yesterday, Bush arrived in Rome to talk about Lebanon with Italian leaders. The talks came as Italy was apparently on the verge of a war with Israel, and the multinational peacekeeper force in Beirut.
In Moscow, the Bush vice president said it was too early to tell whether the highest-level contact between the superpowers in 15 monus would lead to a resumption of the Geneva arms deal, which was walked out in November in protest of the installation of new U.S. missiles in Western Europe.
"I can't say yea or nay on that," Bush said.
"It can draw any such conclusion from what we had them."

fierce fighting in Beirut since the 1975-76 civil war,
Pentagon reports said that Marine positions at Beirut Airport came under attack by rocket and mortar fire three times in the morning and that the Marines responded with mortar fire after the second and third attacks.
The Druse radio station, Voice of the Mountain, said rebel gunners downed an attacking Hawker Hunter fighter-bomber "of the Shah of Baadaa," the site of President Amin Gemayel's palace, one of only two or three of the aging planes thought to remain.
Building
Budig said that Douthart and Grace Pearson, the last scholarship halls to be constructed, were built during the 1954-1965 academic year.
continued from p.1
In the mid-1900s, Pearson, which had been used as a residence hall, was converted into a school.
Ambler said that construction of the scholarship hall might cost about $1 million.
Most of the money would probably come from the interest from a private trust fund established by Elizabeta Watkins to support Miller and Walter Watkins contributed the money to build the two halls.
Ambler said that he hoped a fund-raising campaign for scholarship hall alumni might help
pay for the new hall.
J. J. Wilson, KU director of housing, has proposed a plan to build another man's scholarship hall. Amber said the University is considering the proposal.
Ambler also said that Wilson had proposed a $100,000 expansion for Battenfield scholarship hall. Battenfield is the smallest KU scholarship hall.
"I think all of us are committed to expanding the scholarship hall program." Amber said. "But I don't know that any final decisions have been made concerning those projects."
Budig said that any consideration of those projects would come at a later date.
