Athletic department predicts '83 surplus
By ANDREW HARTLEY Staff Reporter
The KU athletic department is expecting as much as a $10,000 surplus on the budget for fiscal 1983, the business manager said this week.
The department has forecast a balanced budget since January despite spending more money than budgeted on every major sport.
Susan Wachter, the business manager, said that a surprising response to the department's drive for increased alumni donations and a windfall from televised Big Eight games were responsible for the expected surplus.
WACHTER RELEASED THE DEPARTMENT's most recent income and expense summaries at the board meeting of the University of Kansas
Athletic Corporation Tuesday afternoon.
According to the statement, contributions to the Williams Educational Fund are expected to reach the budgeted amount of about $1.4 million. Since November, the donations had been expected to fall $100,000 short of the budgeted income for most of the second half of the 1983 fiscal year.
Athletic Director Monte Johnson told board members that a letter-writing effort to get alumni to double their contributions to the Williams Fund over the next several years resulted in the university raising event in the fund's history.
The latest fund drive started last month and has brought in about $200,000 so far. Johnson said. Last year at this time, the Williams Fund brought in about $100,000.
BOB FREDERICK, EXECUTIVE
director of the Williams Fund, said his office had been so busy lately processing the donations and writing letters to donors. All of his donors doubled their contributions.
Money from the Big Eight office, which includes KU's share of the television and bowl earnings, will be about $875,000 — more than double the amount budgeted, the department estimates.
All income sources combined are expected to be $414,477 higher than expected. The total athletic budget for FY 1983 is $4,229,265.
The extra money will more than compensate for the athletic department's expenses, which are expected to be almost $300,000 higher than
Of the 15 sports supported by the KU athletic budget, only five are expected not to exceed the budgeted expense.
The five are women's basketball, track, cross country, softball and volleyball. Their expenses together account for only five percent of the overall budget.
Administration costs are expected to be $72,000 higher than budgeted and the cost is expected to be $58,000.
FOOTBALL IS EXPECTED TO END the fiscal year spending $117,400 more than budgeted. The total football budget this year was $166,070.
Shortfalls in other areas, including baseball tennis, KU Sports Network and maintenance costs, could account for $20,000.
The men's basketball program is expected to end up spending $30,000 more than the $435,100 allotted. Men's basketball had a total of $400,480uber than the $170,759 budgeted.
Johnson and Wachter both declined to clarify the income and expense statements yesterday.
Many waiting until last minute to file tax returns
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service expects a final onslaught of 25 million personal income tax returns this week, and IRS Commissioner Roscoe Egger said yesterday his last was among the last-minute filings.
Egger said that he could not fully explain why Americans were tardier this year than usual in filing their tax returns. The mission may have something to do with it.
The 2 percent growth that the agency expected in the tax-paying population this year would have meant more
Accountants have said that they have never seen a year when people were as slow bringing in their information for their returns, Egger said.
"Certainly the recession had something to do with it," he said. "I suspect that a lot of it is people with a balance due who are just dragging their feet."
One mystery, Egger said, is why total refunds are running 6.3 percent behind last year. Refunds had been expected to increase because of credits leftover
from the 10 percent 1982 decrease in the tax rate.
"There is no way you can explain that just by the slowness of the returns themselves," he said.
ASKED WHETHER HE HAD filed his own return yet, Egger replied, "Nope, have not. My return's finished. I just haven't filed it. It's waiting for one last piece of documentation."
IRS spokesman Larry Batdorf said yesterday that the IRS expected to get 25 million returns during this last week of the filing season. As of the end of last week, 62 million taxpayers had already sent in their returns.
The total number of returns could be
as high as 97 million, he said, including late filers. Last year 2.7 million people got 60-day extensions.
ANOTHER 1.2 MILLION people missed the midnight April 15 deadline last year and paid a late-filing penalty — 5 percent each month or fraction of a month overdue, up to 25 percent of the total tax owed.
There is one escape for a taxpayer who finds it impossible to get the return taxed.
"Get on a plane and get to Canada." Rattort said
The law gives any taxpayer who is on the country on April is an out of state taxpayer.
Reagan's invitation prevents Beach Boys concert in Kansas
From the sunny coast of California, they had fun, fun, fun singing on America's pop bandstand.
For more than 20 years, the Beach boys have sung about fast cars, surfing and surfing boards.
But apparently James Watt, the controversial U.S. secretary of the interior, thought those lyrics weren't good, family entertainment.
we banned the Beach Boys and other rock groups last week from performing on July 4 at the Washington Mall in the nation's capital, saying rock groups would attract a drug users' group there to the patriotic celebration.
The day after Watt's announcement, Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kansas, asked the Beach Boys to come to Kansas July 4 to perform at a charity concert.
DOLE'S INVITATION WAS in response to Watt's decision to keep the Beach Boys out of the Washington Independence Day celebration, said Scott Richardson, Dole's assistant press secretary in Washington, D.C.
But that same day, President Ronald
Reagan criticized Watt's actions and asked the Beach Boys still to consider
in effect, Reagan's invitation multified the prospect that the Beach Boys would come to Kansas, Richardson said
"Since then, they've had huge offers," he said. "They've had offers from such big cities, they may not be able to do anything in Kansas."
IN A PREPARED STATEMENT from his Topека office, Dole said he did not think the Beach Boys were unfit for family entertainment.
The Beach Boys have performed in Kansas before.
"I'll admit I'm not a pop music critic, but I know from the unsolicited comments from my staff that the new album is hazardous to your health," Dole said.
"I realize that a group this popular cannot satisfy every request," Dole said. "But the Beach Boys have shown a legitimate interest in coming to Kansas. I hope we can work something out."
