of the part could be leased for about $19 million. Structural changes worth $230,000 would have to be made to the state office building if the computer was installed.
OPTION FIVE — replace KIPPS. The state would buy a bigger computer to replace the current, inadiquate one. The state could buy it between $18 million, or it could be lease for about $18 million.
The state would also pay $3,500 for software for the computer and $250,000 for structural materials.
The state could start using the new computer in 1886. Harder said, at the same time that the Department of Administration is scheduled to hold a meeting building to the Santa Fe building, east of the Capitol.

In the meantime, the fifth option calls for the current KIPPS system to be used
The problems with KIPPS first surfaced at the University of Kansas in November, which was the first month that the University went on the new payroll system.
About 350 KU employees did not receive paychecks Nov. 1, and between 800 and 1,000 others received checks for the wrong amount.
State officials in Topeka worked on the system's computer program, but on Dec. 1, about 100 employees still did not receive checks, and at least that many received checks for the wrong amount.
BY JAN, 1, the problems still were not fixed, but KU officials hand-wrote checks for about 40 employees who either did not receive checks or received checks for the wrong amount.
The problem with KIPPS was that its Univac computer was not big enough to handle all the data put into it, said Bill Belleville, director of Information Services and Computing.
Belleville said during recent months the computer was sometimes working at a danger-
BECAUSE OF THE problems KIPPS caused at KU, Harder said he is no longer allowing any phone calls to his department.
"It's an alternative we have to look at," he said. "It might, just be cheaper to have decent teeth."

Ethics measures die in legislative committee
By United Press International
TOPEKA — Hearing no public support for three bills that would have tightened the state's ethics and conflict committee vote to kill them this week.
Miller said he had been surprised no one testified in favor of the bills.
Karen Carlin, Mrs. Carlin drew a great deal of criticism in the summer for earning $12,000 to sell $8000 for a movie making a promotional film on Kansas.
The bills were introduced by a special committee formed after some Republican leaders in the House.
House Federal and State Affairs Committee Chairman Robert Miller, R-Wellington, said Wednesday that legislators did not want to obstruct but that one can
would apply to them and to state employees. That's not what they
The representative said the bills created problems because an act considered wrong when committed by a person might not be in, a different event.
Reagan continued from p. 1
He said, "Sooner or later, the Soviets will realize they have nothing to gain by waiting
"Good-faith negotiations are in their interests because the West could offer them many good benefits their people now lack."
BUT NOVOSTI SAID that the Soviet people "know better than the U.S. that a nuclear war is unwainable and that even the most limited countries can deal."
Novosti accused Reagan of implying that President Yuri Andropov's statement Tuesday, which came in reaction to a Reagan speech earlier in the week, "in some way was a change of policy by Moscow and a result of his resolutely hard-line policies."
The news agency said. "this is in no way a change."
The United States has said it would not take such a step unilaterally
ANDROPOV, IN A statement lacking the caustic rhetoric of Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko's recent speech in Stockholm, said a "bread vista" of talks could be held, but only if the U.S. Pershing-2 and cruse missiles stationed in Europe were dismantled.
Tass said Reagan distorted the economic picture at home and lied about military actions overseas.
Tass also said that Reagan's foreign policy review was notable for tememagogy and hypocrisy and that Reagan led when he called the United States "a dictator."
"The president groundlessly asserted that America has achieved a recovery under his rule." Tass raid, noting that nearly 40 million Americans live below the official poverty level and some 2 million are unemployed.
"Suffice it to recall the U.S. bandit attack against sovereign Grenada, the actual occupation of Lebanon by U.S. troops, the undeclared war that has been waged in Syria and Iraq," he wrote.
"Reagan's pronouncements indicate that the White House intends as before to deal with the U.S.S.R. from the positions of force, from the position of command."
Leaders of groups that represent women and the poor yesterday ripped Reagan's upbeat assessment of the nation — saying he has inflicted suffer-
But many business leaders and administration supporters enthused hailed Reagan's State of the Union address to Congress. Particularly his emphasis on
"President Reagan has every reason to take pride in bringing down inflation so dramatically, reducing interest rates and putting America back to work," said Richard Lesher, president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Roxanne Jones, director of Philadelphia Citizens in Action, an advocacy group for women and the poor, offered a different perspective with harsh language.
"This administration is a disgrace," she told a Capitol Hill news conference. "It has no sense of compassion, no sense of fairness and no sense of respect."
Reagan said in his State of the Union speech to a joint session of Congress Wednesday, "There is a renewed energy and optimism throughout the world."
"I take the same care with animals that Block takes with taxes."
