Longhurst and Commissioner Howard Hill, however, expressed concern about helping businesses because it would undercut other businesses that were more efficient.
"FREE ENTERPRISE does work, damn it," Longhurst said. "If the government would get out of the way it would work."
The commission also decided not to ask for money for the People's Yellow Pages, a library for public services and a city of Kansas Student Union, to give $2,700 to cover the cost of printing and distribution.
Longhurst said he was opposed to the publication because, under University regulations, it would have to be printed at University printers and printers would not be allowed to bid for the job.
In other business, the commission heard a report by Ralph Turner, chairman of the Natural Gas Task Force, which was formed earlier this year to address problems associated with the rising cost of gas.
THE REPORT SAID that gas prices were scheduled to increase because of industry de-regulation and that there was a need for companies to face people who could not pay their gas bills.
The report also said that the task force believed that the city had the legal right to increase its regulation of the Kansas Public Service Gas Company.

Budig said he was encouraged by the Regents' recommendations for an increase in funds for operating expenses.

"We are thinking of cutting out more of the modern experiments our students do," he said.
He said professional labs expected KU students to understand modern techniques.
"If the students say 'no' my school couldn't afford it." that is certainly going to affect their ability.
He said the mammalian physiology department would need a minimum of 12 physiographs so or the entire department could be shut down. The physiograph is an instrument similar to an electrocardiogram machine.
"IF THESE AREN'T replaced in the next year or so the physiologists are thinking seriously of them."
Each physiograph sells for about $10,000, he said.
Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor for the University, agrees with many of the complaints.
university, agree with many of the complaints.
"The equipment problem has been a persistent, serious problem for as long as I have been here." Cobb said.
HE SAID THAT the University made a $1 million request in May 1982 to the Regents for equipment for fiscal year 1984 but that the University would not have regents before being submitted to the governor.
The governor cut the request to zero.
JAMES AKAGI, chairman of the microbiology department, said his department had been presenting more classroom demonstrations of experiments instead of giving students hands-on training.
The department now has two $45,000 acuclaves — a device that decontaminates instruments and glassware used in experiments. The other one was ready to quit at any time; that the other one was ready to quit at any time.
Autoclaves were necessary, Akagi said, so that contagious organisms were destroyed.
Crucial microbiology courses have been cancelled and the department's honors program is "still on the books but will not be offered next fall," Akiagi said.
"MICROBIOLOGY IS WHERE it's at today," he said. "Most of the work in genetic engineering, herpes and AIDS is being done by microbiologists.
"Fifteen to 20 years ago scientists could do state-of-the-art work here. The equipment we need is very expensive but we need it to compete with other universities."
John P. Davidson, chairman of the physics and astronomy department, said his department also
"We are still using equipment we purchased in 1925." Davidson said.
He said the National Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology recently reviewed the department and said the department was seriously lacking in instructional computers for
He said that the department had two instructional computers with plans to buy another at a cost of $40,000 but that a minimum of 20 were needed.
Davidson said he thought that University administrators understood the problem but that the Legislature and the Regents were either not listening or they did not believe the facts.
"The problem is in Topeka, not in Strong Hall." David said.

against Israel and its ally, the United States, WAFA said.
Lebanese police said earlier that Syrian tanks were deployed around the trouble spots with no visible signs of aggression.
The fighting erupted as the Fahat guerrilla group's governing Revolutionary Council authorized its leadership to crush the revolt within its ranks. Fahat is the largest group in the PLO.

Arafat's men continued to hold the key town of Chitaura, headquarters of the Fatah guerrilla group for eastern Lebanon, relief workers said, but the Arafat spokesman in Tripoli said the rebels took at least one village along the highway with the help of Syrian tanks.
The Damascus highway is under the ultimate control of the Syrian and Israeli armies, but Palestinian guerrilla units depend on the Syrian part as a supply route.
The spokesman said the road the journalists were traveling on parallels the Honduran-Nicaragua border that has been the scene of a large number of bombings, rebels and Nicaraguan troops in recent weeks.
Nicaragua has claimed that their soldiers do
