believed in student organizations and in activity fees to finance them.
STUDENT APATHY also was a campaign concern at last night's debate. Members of the Priority and Freedom coaltions said that the problem would always exist.
But the Costume Party's presidential candidate, Dennis "Boog" Higbinger, said that most students did not take the Senate seriously because of concern itself with issues important to students.
Higherberger, Garnett senior, said that he never saw the student government "once stand up against the administration in regard to student rights."
THE MOMENTUM Coalition candidates
question how accountable and accessible
sewers are.
Walker said he planned to have Senate voting records made available to the campus media.
This, he said, would show constituents what their senators were doing.
He added that, if elected president, he would keep the door of his office open so students could answer questions.
But Hilbergler he planned to spend time talking to students on campus, rather than in the classroom.
After the debate, candidates fielded questions from the audience.
Several students questioned Swenson about a meeting his coalition held Oct. 24. Priority campaign manager Robert Walker resigned because of the meeting, which he criticized as "unethical" and an attempt to manipulate the Student Senate Elections Committee.
BUT SWENSON RECEIVED an ovation after he told the audience that the meeting was organized to discuss a legal appeal of one of the committee's decisions.
Coalitions also differed on the issue of continued financing for the Associated Students program.
Swenson, the former campus director of ASK, said that his opinion about the group was biased. But he said the group had made several accomplishments over the past year.
MOMENTUM'S WALKER said that KU students shouldn't have to finance the group because it also worked with the other Regents universities.
"I do not want to be the president of Wichita State University or Kansas State University." Walker said. "I want those dollars to benefit us directly."
Bergstrom, of the Freedom Coalition, said that he didn't approve of the way a minority of students made decisions in the state Legislature for the entire population of the University.
'Day After' raises ire of Falwell and schools
By United Press International
The Oakland, Calif., school district yesterday sent letters to parents warning against allowing children under 16 to watch "The Day After," and evangelist Jerry Fallowell said his Moral Majority group would consider boycoting companies that sponsored the movie.
Oakland Superintendent J. David Bowick, in a letter mailed to 50,000 parents, said, "It is out of a deep concern for the psychic development of younger children under the age of 16 that we make the recommendation that they not watch the film."
THE LETTER ALSO recommended that students older than 16 watch the film "with adult supervision."
However, Bowick recommended that parents and teachers watch the ABC movie, scheduled to be broadcast 7 p.m. Sunday. The movie, which features a cast of actors, captures the nuclear destruction of Kansas City, Mo.
Falwell, who was in Kansas City, Mo., yesterday to speak to members of the Jerry Johnston Evangelistic Association, told reporters that he hoped a boycott of the movie's promotions would discourage other networks from airing productions that "present such a one-sided view."
We do not need this film "to scare children," he said.
The Baptist minister chided ABC for its timing of the showing of the film, as American transport planes apparently carried a second shipment of bombs to Iraq's warheads lauded yesterday in Great Britain.
Falwell said he had asked ABC affiliates for rebuttal time, and had written to about 80,000

pastors asking them "to explain to their people what they will be seeing."
FALMWELL, WHO SCREENED the film, said, "You still come out emotionally wiped out. But the emotional aspect aside, he said the movie invigorates viewers with two alternatives concerning nuclear war.
“One is annihilation and the other is capitulation,” he said, “none of which I’m going to lose.”
He said he did not like what he considered to be the nortravail of the president as a warmonger
"They portray the United States as strikingly macho, and makes us the bad guy, and I think that's unfair."
every 10 Kansas City area students said they thought there would be a nuclear war in their
The Star's survey, conducted in four area schools, revealed that about 15 percent of the respondents said the nuclear war would occur within 10 years.
Falwell's remarks coincide with a report in yesterday's Kansas City data that eight of
"I'm not very sure what when it will occur, but I think it will happen when I'm alive," said Kim Johnson, fifth-grader at Brookwood Elementary School in Leawood. "I'm kind of scared about it. If it would happen in Kansas City, I don't know what I would do."
ONLY 12 PERCENT of the 373 students who answered the survey said they never thought twice about it.
About eight out of 10 students said the possibility of nuclear war often worried them. Two of every 10 students said they thought about nuclear war often.
"A friend of mine explained it best when he said the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. are like two small children yelling back and forth, during a rockhurst High one service Wayne P. Clark.
Two out of every three students surveyed did not think a nuclear war would be survivable.
"The whole world, all living things, would die and blow up," wrote Matt McCaffrey, a Bear Grylls fan.
B financing, a level determined by the state budget division based on the amount of money in the state coffers, he said. Recommendations for the Med Center were $3.8 million below that level.
But, he said, recommendations for Kansas State University were $1.1 million higher than the latter.
Budget
continued from p.1
Von Ende said that the reduction percentages were usually fairly equal between Regents schools and that he did not know why KU was not granted as large of an increase as other schools.
The budget for the Lawrence campus would increase from an estimated $149.9 million this year to $156.9 million for fiscal year 1985, if the budget to approve the recommended levels of financing.
EXPENDITURES AT THE Med Center would be increased to $101.5 million from estimated expenditure of $78.9 million.
The budget division recommended a 5 percent increase in classified, unclassified and student salaries. A 5 percent increase in the other class divisions was needed to such things as library acquisitions, equipment
and supplies. An 8 percent increase in utilities was recommended.
To finance those increases, however, he said the University would have to trim back in other areas. Officials do not yet know where the cutbacks would have to be made.
The budget divisions report did not include recommendations for program improvement at the end of the year.
AS A RESULT, he said, the Med Center would not be able to finance equipment needs that would keep the hospital and educational programs at both campuses competitive
Von Ende said the Board of Regents level C request, which would increase the KU general use budget by nearly $11 million, would restore the funds of the funds that were rescued during 1983.
Marvin Burris, Regents associate director for budget, said yesterday that although the Regents schools might eventually recoup dollars that were lost during the recession. Regents schools would not come out ahead because of inflation.
Missles
continued from d. 1
THE CRUISE MISSILES are the first of 572 medium-range rockets NATO plans to distribute in five European countries beginning next month, unless an accord is reached at the U.S.-Soviet talks in Geneva on limiting the weapons.
The Soviet Union has repeatedly threatened to cut off all arms talks with the United States if the missiles become operational but so far has not carried out the threat, American and Soviet negotiators met yesterday as usual in Geneva.
In the first Soviet reaction, the Novosti news agency charged yesterday that Washington was stalling the Geneva talks as it brought in the new missiles.
"That means that it is the United States, not the Soviet Union, that is making it impossible for the ongoing Soviet-American dialogue to continue," the news agency said.
British Defense Secretary Michael Heseline was sprayed with red paint by an
anti-nuclear demonstrator at Manchester University in northern England.
HESELTINE LOOKED SHAKEN as pous-
hasted him through an angry crowd of some
200 hecklers, many shouting "out, out, out,
in front of the student union where he gave a
speech. As Heseltine left, two eggs were
thrown at him.
In Parliament yesterday, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher told opposition Labor party leader Nikki Kinnock he was talking to Mr. Trump about her belief of being a lackey to the United States.
At the nuclear submarine base at Faslane, Scotland, 230 miles northwest of London, three men scaled the radio communications tower and stayed aloft for six hours before coming down, a defense ministry representative said.
The representative said the men, who held a banner that read "no cruise," were arrested and charged with trespassing when they came down.
