State pay raise sent to Carlin
BY DIANE LUBER and JEFF TAYLOR Staff Reporters
TOPEKA — When KU faculty and classified employees look in their pay envelopes January, they will find a 4.5 percent raise, if Gov. John Carlin goes along with the pay raise approved by the Legislature yesterday.
Both chambers agreed to add an extra $1.5 million to Carlin's recommended 4 percent salary increase for state employees, but followed his recommendation to delay that raise for six months.
THE HOUSE VOTED 69-52 in favor of the 4.5 percent pay raise and the Senate overwhelmingly approved it, 36-4.
State Sen. Paul Hess, R-Wichita and chairman of the Senate Ways and Means committee, called the pay riders' demand that they tend off the rising costs of living.
But State Sen. Frank Gaines, D-D Augusta, argued against adding the extra $1.5 million, saying that inflation was a problem that workers in the private sector also had to fight and that state employees had not been laid off work the way workers in the private sector had.
"The private sector has made all the
sacrifices," he said. "The public sector has refused to make any sacrifices."
Gaines told the Senate that public employees needed to cooperate with the state in trying to work the state out of a financial bind.
BUT STATE SEN. RON Hein, R-Topka, told Gaines that public employees were not paid as much money as people doing the same job in
the private sector.
"The state of Kansas has never paid those kinds of salaries, even when the times were good," he said.
"All the state employees ask is for a good day's wage for a good day's work. I think the state employees understand that the state is in a fiscal crisis and I think they're willing to take their fair share of cuts."
The two chambers volleyed the salary issue for the two days until a six-member conference committee agreed to a compromise 4.5 percent pay
The House had narrowly approved a pay plan to give state employees a 2 percent raise July 1 and another 2 percent raise Jan. 1. However, the Senate barely rejected the House plan, 19-19, and voted to go along with Carlin's proposal to delay a 4 percent increase until January.
STATE SEN. WINT WINTER Jr.,
RLawrence, said he was pleased with
the 815 addition, but said he preferred
the Moose version of allocating it.
"As an employer, the state has got to be fair and equitable," he said.
The Board of Regents had originally requested a 7 percent increase in faculty, student and classified employee salaries.
wage in excess.
In its omnibus appropriations bill, the Legislature gave students a 2 percent salary boost.

Last week, several hundred state employees protested suggestions by some legislative leaders for a one-year wage freeze.
Also in that bill, the Legislature approved $281,000 for a state work study program to be divided among the six Regents schools and Washburn school.
AFTER THE 1983-84 school year, that anorapilation will be doubled.
The Legislature limited next year's allocation because it wanted the universities to organize the program first. The bill requires the half the $281,000 to be matched with money from private business.
Gov John Carlin had originally
proposed giving $700,000 to work-study.
proposed giving $700,000 to work-study.
The bill also includes a provision to increase Regents schools' authority to hire faculty. The program will be in year 1984. KU will receive $5.8 million and the University of Kansas Medical Center will get $2.2 million.
Waltzers whirl in medieval elegance
The orchestra played the Blue Danube waltz as the men in their tuxedos and women in their long ball trousers and the ballroom fancee floor Saturday.
Students in the integrated humanities program at the University of Kansas had spent the day transforming the Kansas Union ballroom into a medieval flower garden. Later they returned for another spring season and the program's ninth annual spring waltz.
DENNIS QUINN, PROFESSOR of English and an instructor in the program, said the waltz was an opportunity for students in the program and their guests to participate in a tradition of Western civilization.
"It provides students with a chance to do more than just study about the subject," he said.

thing of beauty, and the dance, the decor, the attire, the manners called for, are all a part of it," he said. "This evening gives the students an opportunity to participate in a kind of beauty that is very hard to find in the modern world."
The integrated humanities program is divided into four semesters in which students study Greek, Roman, medieval, and modern literature. They are also exposed to calligraphy, poetry, and music.
ROBERT TORCZYNSKI, TULSA,
Okla., freshman, said he saw the waltz
as an important part of the program.
"One of the goals of the humanities program is to teach students that there is a mystery about things," he said.

The orchestra, composed of Kansas City musicians, played waltz after waltz. Classical poetry studied in the course and scripted in calligraphy by one of the students, decorated each table. White dows fluttered in a cage gracing the refreshment table and people entered the ballroom beneath a flower-covered trellis.
Quinn said optional waltz lessons
Tripp Anderson, a graduate of the humanities program and originator of the annual event, said, "The evening brings you in contact with the Platonic ideas of the good, the true and the beautiful."

Unification Church moves to Wichita
By JOEL THORNTON
A move from Lawrence to Wichita will allow the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church to expand its ministries, the church's state director said yesterday.
Staff Reporter
Richard Oben, the director, said the move, which started two months ago, was needed to allow the church to expand its outreach program.
However, the student program of the Unification Church, the Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles, will stay in Lawrence, he said.
"We are doing a very large outreach now to let people understand the message we want to communicate," he said. "Now is the time, despite the controversies and misrepresentations of Rev. Moon and the Unification Church, that America
TIM MILLER, LECTURER IN the department of religious studies, said that the Unification Church had been formed in 1893 by members of Kansas since the late 1970s.
He said he knew of no more than 15 students at KU who were members of the church. Of those, only three to five are Americans, he said. Eight to 10 of them are from Korea, where Moon established the Unification Church in the early 1950s.
The church now has about 100 members active in evangelism teams in the state, Oben said. They have organized rallies in downtown Wichita, given video-tape presentations on the Unification church's beliefs, handed out literature and talked with people door-to-door.
In addition, he said, other people are members of the church, but are not on the evangelism teams, because they hold regular jobs.
MEMBERS OF THE UNIFICATION Church believe that Moon was sent to the world by God to bring true harmony to all people, Oben said.
Members also believe that before harmony can be achieved, the world must be rid of immorality within the Christian church, within the Christian church, he said.
"We believe that Rev. Moon" is someone chosen by God to carry out this," he said, "Jesus Christ" is working with him in spirit."
"they haven't had any major new number of members come in since 1979," Miller said. "They haven't been working with us." He has insisted for new members. But lately, they've been working on their own projects."
NATIONALLY, THE CHURCH claims to have 10,000 members, but Miller said the number was probably closer to 3,000. He said the church was trying to establish itself in businesses, instead of recruiting new members.
Suspect in area robberies arrested
By DON HENRY
Staff Reporter
Police arrested a Gardner man Friday, minutes after a robbery at the University State Bank, 2546 Iowa St., Lawrence Police Chief Richard Stanwix said yesterday.
The man, identified as 33-year-old Larry Leonard Rice, was arrested by Lawrence police officer Kenneth McKenzie in the parking lot of Wal-Mart Discount Center, 2727 Iowa St, Stanwix said. He said no shots were fired.
STANWICK SAID POLICE HAD received a call from a teller at the Lawrence National Bank south branch at 27th and Iowa streets, which is near the University State Bank, shortly before the robbery. The teller told

"It just worked out really well," Stanwix said. "We had good cooperation from the banks, and we happened to have a police officer in the

JERRY HARPER, DOUGLAS COUNTY district attorney, said yesterday he would review the reports of the case and decide whether to press charges today. He said he might charge Rice with either one count of armed robbery, from Friday's robbery, or three counts of armed robbery, to include two other recent bank robberies in Lawrence.
police did not release the amount of money that was stolen.
"We have a good suspect in hand for those three crimes," he said. "And we plan to file charges if the reports warrant it."
Harper said he had told officials at the Federal Bureau of Investigation that he intended to press charges in Douglas County if the reports warranted it.
