Budget
continued from p.1
Nitcher said that, under the proposal, no budget reductions would be made below this funding threshold.
However, Nitcher explained that the proposal was developed under guidelines established by the guideline of Regents. The Regents develop the guideline with the state's State "maturesture a balanced-budget consensus."
IN ADDITION TO the plan submitted in accordance with the Regents' guidelines, he said, the University is also required to submit two alternate plans, A and B.
Plan A, he said, would be implemented if the state's general fund was low and the economic situation was bad. Plan B, on the other hand, would be better, providing more economic conditions than in plan A, he said.
Under both alternatives, some budget reductions would be made, he said.
Nitcher said the University was required by the Legislature and governor to implement some in-state requirements.
For example, under plan A, the University can only increase the general-fund operating budget by about $2.25 million. However, unclassified capital would mean a $1.70 million. That would mean a shortfall of $250,000.
But, he said, those increases have to be made without exceeding balanced-budget constraints.
THEREFORE, HE SAID, to make an unclassified salary increase, reductions in other areas.
Nitcher said that under plan A, to make all of the increases required by the Legislature and still meet the budget constraints, other areas would total $4,658.08.
Under plan B, which would raise the general-fund operating budget by about $6.45 million, financial reductions in other areas would total more than $1.15 million.
"I think the state will do better for us than level A." Nitcher said.
state agencies would follow plan A only if general funds were very low.
HE SAID STATE revenues now are less than expected, but because Kansas is recovering economically, revenue from sales and income taxes should start to increase.
Richard Von Ende, executive secretary, said
He also said that Gov. John Carlin's renewed support of education, along with a national emphasis, would work in KU's favor during budget negotiations.
"I think there's great concern nationwide over the level of opportunities in education," Von Edith.
The State Budget Division will make its recommendations to the governor in November or December. After Carlin studies the proposal and recommendations, he will make his own recommendations and forward the proposed budget to the Legislature in January.
After working through various legislative channels, a final budget should be approved in April.
Weather
remained in the low 70s over the southeast corner of the state.
During a 24 hour period that ended yesterday morning temperatures in Garden City dropped 61 degrees. The morning low was 39, in contrast to Monday's high of 100 degrees.
Goodland went from a high yesterday of 92 to a record low yesterday of 33, and recorded the
"It was just a little bit," said Goodland Sheriff Jack Armstrong. "In fact, just enough for us to know that it was snow." Police initially assumed it was merely dust blowing in the air.
YESTERDAY'S COLD FRONT possibly could kill the crops that escaped the heat and drought.
said Jack Lindquist, Douglas County Extension agent.
"The basic problem would be with an early frost." Lindquist said.
Soy beans would be the hardest hit, he said. Most of the soy bean crop is still in the fields and still growing. A hard frost might not let the plants reach maturity.
"That could cause reduced yields, and some fields won't produce at all," he said.
if the beans don't mature, farmers could end up grazing cattle in the soy bean fields. They would also probably take a large financial loss, Lindquist said.
Freak, violent weather plagued many parts of the nation during the last two days.
Thunderstorms lashed the Gulf Coast Monday and yesterday, flooding a fashionable Houston neighborhood chest-high. The Texas storms have been blamed for four deaths since Sunday, when a San Antonio woman drowned. Two Houston boys were swept to their deaths and the body of a third boy was discovered in a muddy Houston bayou yesterday.
THE EAST SUFFERED through a sweltering heat wave that sent thousands to the beaches and shattered high temperature records — the 94 at station yesterday broke a record set 100 years ago.

The task force was appointed to study and comment on changes in billing and shut-off policies made by Kansas Public Service, and to develop a plan under which the city could provide aid to needy people who are unable to pay their gas bills.
The city had considered setting up a trust fund to help make those payments, but City Attorney Gerry Cooley advised the commission that it could not legally establish the trust fund.
Commissioner Nancy Shontz said that other financing methods were available.
- Scheduled a study session with developer Ron Holt for 3 p.m. Monday at City Hall, 600 Massachusetts Street, to discuss his proposed riverfront retail development project in the Reuter Piano building on the 600 block of New Hampshire Street.
- *Refused a request from more than 70 people in the neighborhood near the Massachusetts and 23rd streets intersection to reconsider a zoning ordinance last week for the Lawrence Indian Center.
- Approved financing for the purchase of three
new garbage trucks. The trucks are expected to cost about $180,000.
- Proclaimed this week as Beta Sigma Phi week and Emergency Medicine week, and proclaimed Friday as Christians of Conscience day.
Gov. John Carllin will be in town this weekend to attend a Beta Sigma Phi convention. The executive director of Amnesty International will speak at 8 p.m. Friday in the Alderson Room of the Kansas Union for Christians of Conscience Day.
Mideast

if they are under attack or face imminent hostilities.
While the compromise resolution extends the Marines' stay for 18 months, Congress could still pass legislation, subject to presidential veto, to force withdrawal.
The compromise also defines the Marines' mission in terms of their participation in the multinational peace-keeping force and restricts them to the Beirut area under the pact. But it is flexible enough to allow U.S. involvement in "such measures as are necessary to protect the Marines." This would permit the use of naval artillery and tactical air support.
BOTH O'NEILL AND House Foreign Affairs
Committee Chairman Clement Zablocki, D-Wis., characterized the compromise as an administration acknowledgement of the war powers act.
A senior White House official emphasized it was not an admission that the Marine force in Lebanon was subject to congressional approval under the war powers act.
"The signature of the president, no matter what his disclaimers are, is acknowledgement of the war powers act," O'Neill said.
Zabacki elaborated on the same interpretation, saying "No president in the past has recognized the war powers act to the extent that he will" in signing the compromise resolution.

State Department spokesman John Hughes said the Soviets informed both the U.S. and Japanese Embassies in Moscow that "they are receiving documents and documents recovered from Flight 007."
HE SAID IT was not clear whether the black box was included in the Soviet offer to return materials. He said also that none of the remains of the 269 victims were included in the material retrieved by the Soviets. All those aboard, including 61 Americans, are presumed dead.
U. S. officials have expressed concern that if the Soviets find the wreckage they will attempt to fabricate documents or tamper with the black airplane and charge charges that the airline was on a spy mission
WELLES AND A Navy spokesman said the Soviets had run their ships at high speed near the search area and had created "electronic responses" to block out the beeps of the pinger.
RAIN AND WINDS of up to 30 mph reduced visibility in the search area in the Sea of Japan, 20 miles north of the Soviet island of Mononer, 15 miles south of both vessels to ride out the storm in coastal waters.
"The sea is very rough and no search operation was observed today," said Masayoshi yoshinaga.
The Soviets have said that the South Korean jet was on a spy mission, but the United States said it had no evidence of such activity.
Weights

only woman in the weight room. That's something that this class is trying to conquer. Fitness is for women, too."
SHE SAID THAT many myths make women shv awav from weight training
"Lots of women worry unnecessarily.
Zolder说, "There are a lot of myths about it."
— for one thing, women who do weights won't gain bulk. Women don't have the testosterone
Most of the women who attended said that they were looking forward to more attractive dresses.
Jeannette Burchart, Tulsa, Okla., sophomore, said she thought the program was such a good idea that she brought six of her friends from Gertrude S. Pearson Hall.
"We're interested in toning and shaping muscles. But still there are some women who are self-conscious about weight training. This course is designed, in one way, to make the women more comfortable with the idea of weight training."
"I needed to lose weight. I needed to get toned up. I want to see the muscle and not wonder why it isn't there," she said.
LINDA SHIFFLETT. A secretary in the department of chemistry, said that she intended to work out to strengthen her left shoulder which she injured while jogging last year.
