Budig says Carlin's fiscal plan for KU falls short
By JAN SHARON
Staff Reporter
Gov. John Carlin's budget recommendations for the next fiscal year do not meet some serious needs of the federal Acadiaancellor Gene A. Budig said yesterday.
In a written response to Carlin's fiscal 1985 budget recommendations, Budd said that Carlin's budget recovers $40 million from the two budget categories because they were less than the recommendations of the Board of Regents.
For operating expeditions and for financing of academic programs in the fiscal year that begins July 1, 1984, Carlin recommended a 5 percent increase. The Regents recommended a 7 percent increase.
The University will try to persuade the Kansas Legislature to increase financing for academic programs and for operating expenses. Budg said.
THE GOVERNOR ALSO proposed that the University receive only $360,000 of the $1.54 million that the Regents recommended for improvement funding, which is money allocated for the purchase of equipment, teaching supplies and for the support of additional graduate teaching assistant positions.
Budid said that improvement funding was earmarked to help recover money lost during KU's budget rescission in 1982. The Regents' proposal would restore about 44 percent of the University's 1983 budget cuts and would restore almost all of the funds lost by KU's academic departments.
He said KU officials would encourage the Legislature to provide more money to restore the budget to its level before the rescission.

The University also wants money to award fellowships of $1,000 each to outstanding graduate research assistants, he said.

Budig said that, on the whole, the University "fared relatively well" in Carlin's budget recommendations, except for operating expenditures and academic programs.

TOPEKA — Just bours after Gov John Carlin lawmakers in a joint legislative session to address the prison overcrowding problem, a Senate panel yesterday embraced a $2.7 million emergency plan to create 338 new beds by July.
"We're off and running," said Sen. Paul Hess, R-Wichita, referring to the urgency of the two bills adopted toateate Ways and Means Committee.
The legislation, expected to be approved by the full Senate today, would appropriate $2.7 million to establish two pre-release centers on the grounds of the Winfield State Hospital and Topkeen State Hospital. The district would be used to renovate a dormitory at the Kansas State Pentimentary at Lansing.
THE TOPEKA FACILITY would house 65 inmates, the Winfield center 144 inmates and the KSP dormitory 127 inmates, for a total of 336 new beds, Carlin said in his State of the State address, delivered to a crowded House chambers yesterday.
"We have passed the day when our prisons held the number of people they were built to house, and we are rapidly approaching the day when we will have too many inmates in state prisons," the governor said. "If the court orders us, we face the possibility of court ordered action being taken for us."
Carlin said in addition to the two pre-release centers and the KSP dormitory, the state should spend $10.4 million in fiscal 1985, which starts July 1. to further address the overcrowding problem. Prison officials say the rate of inmates entering state prisons is about 60 per day, and the maximum-capacity of prisons has been reached.
CARLIN ASKED FOR about $2 million to begin operations in January, 1985, at the new medium-security prison at Lansing, which was approved two years ago. The money also would be used to begin operations at a new 96-bed modular unit at the Kansas State Industrial Reformatory at Hutchinson, opening in October.
Additionally, Carlin asked for about $2 million to remodel and reallocate space at Laredo State Hospital.
