AT&T's divestiture hurting KU budget
By GRETCHEN DAY Staff Reporter
The breakup of American Telephone $ \times $ Telegraph Co. could be ringing up unexpected problems for the University of Kansas this year if the Legislature don't approve a request for excess financing for telephone costs.
Keith Nicher, KU director of business affairs, said yesterday that because of the breakup of AT×T in January, telephone costs had increased and additional money would be needed to maintain service at KU.
If the Legislature does not allocate additional funds, Nitcher said, KU will have the option of cutting back on phones or diverting money from other areas of the budget to make up telephone costs.
KU officials will ask for a one-time appropriation of $67,309 for this fiscal year. They will also request that $144,476 be built permanently into the base budget in fiscal year 1985, which begins July 1.
At its monthly meeting this week, the Board of Regents will consider a proposal to allow KU and the other six Regents schools to ask for more state aid to cover the increased telephone costs.
The Regents schools are seeking a total of $141,615 in fiscal year 1984 and $558,670 in fiscal year 1985 for telephone costs.

Nitcher said KU was now operating on its original budget, assuming that either the Legislature appropriates the funds or other money is diverted.
Several departments already have cut back on their phone service following the budget rescissions during the summer of 1982.
In other matters, KU will seek Regents authority to ask the Legislature to increase the University of Kansas Medical Center's expenditure
Nitcher said that the Med Center wanted to increase spending by $60,000 in this budget year and by $180,000 in future years. He added five positions in the business office.
The employees would help the Med Center in recovering debts, Nitcher
At the meeting, Med Center officials will also seek to increase the estimate of hospital revenue in the legislative budget from $55 million to $75 million in fiscal year 1984, and from $4.8 million to $59 million in fiscal year 1985.
Nitcher said the increase reflected the fact that Med Center officials realized that more money would be obtained from patient care than was estimated.
The Regents will also consider allowing KU to request legislative authority to transfer to the Kansas University Endowment Association property and a house used in the past by Med Center administrators.

Warm weather gave these students a chance to get out of the classroom and study the martial arts in the sun. Brian Carlsen, Overland Park junior, and Reza Noyafizadeh, Iran freshman, were practicing karate outside of Robinson Gymnasium yesterday as their instructor, Bill Reindl, helped them out.
Apparently the practice chambers of the music building have recently been providing a good night's sleep for an unidentified visitor.
Murphy Hall is alive with the sound of snoring.

CONSTITUTION
I. PREAMBLE:
Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas is dedicated to the belief that gays and lesbians are human beings. It is unfortunate that we find ourselves defending homosexuality by pointing out our humanity.Because we are human beings, we should be afforded the same rights and responsibilities under the law as other American citizens.
We observe that many gays and lesbians face special and unique problems because of sexual or affectional preference. Most of these problems are a product of the society of which we are a part. We strongly believe that, by taking responsibility for the part of society which we comprise, these problems can be understood and, eventually, put to rest.
II. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:
It is the purpose of GLSOK to make our organization obsolete by accomplishing the following:
1. Educating both heterosexuals and homosexuals about the homosexual and his/her lifestyle. This includes dismissing the common stereotypes, myths, and falsehoods believed by society, and demonstrating that gays and lesbians are individual human beings with individual qualities.
2. Providing services to the homosexual community in order to help gays and lesbians cope with their individual problems or circumstances.
3. Continuing the fight to achieve reform of all anti-homosexual laws and ordinances.
4. Providing a friendly, accepting, and hospitable atmosphere in the GLSOK office for all people.
6. Making public affairs and educational activities available through monies received from social functions.
7. Accomplishing all of the above in a positive manner, and resolving not to discriminate against others as we have been discriminated against.
5. Encourage an understanding and acceptance of collective and individual differences between gay men and lesbians.
III. PARTICIPATION:
The rights and privileges in GLSOK are to be extended to all interested persons.
IV. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE:
The organization consists of an executive board (Executive Director, Treasurer, Office Manager, Publicity Manager) and a board of committees (Peer Counseling Chair, Support Group Chair, Speaker's Bureau Chair, Social/Public Affairs Chair, Dance Chair, and Women's Concerns Chair). All committee chairs, the Treasurer, Office Manager and Publicity Manager are accountable to the Executive Director.
