proposal for KU by 0.5 percent, an amount it thought the University could work within.
That reduction is offset somewhat by a $50,000 allocation for computer operations and other revenue sources that go into the state's general use fund. The Legislature's final package left $411,389.015 for operating expenses.
What all these figures mean is that the University is supposed to work with $488,341 less for FY 1984 operating expenses than it was originally given for FY 1983.
But because of the 6.5 percent increase, the University will have $1,233,903 more for 1984 than it had to work with after the 4 percent budget cuts. Still, if those budget cuts had been in place, they would have to work with nearly $500,000 less next year than the Legislature approved for 1983.
AFTER ALL THE FINAGLING, bartering and final calculations, the KU operating expenses have been virtually frozen at 1983 State San. West Winter Jr. said last month.
Winter, R.Lawrence, announced his concerns for the Regents budget in a press conference in March. The state's proclaimed expenditures for open access are now at $146 million because a 20 percent Regents tuition increase is
included in the money the state uses to finance OOE.
"The governor intends to balance the budget, in part, on the backs of the students with the 20 percent reduction."
Money from tuition fees is dumped into the state's general fund, from which the state finance $E$. Therefore, the additional 20 tuition increase helped the state raise OEE 6.5 percent.
WINTER TOLD REPORTERS that the Regents system would take in $13.8 million more for FY 1984 than it did in FY 1983, mostly because of the tuition increase.
However, Winter said, the increase in funds for the Rentables system is less than $11.8 million.
More than $2 million in increased tuition and revenue seems to be floating around to other universities.
"This misuse of money files in the face of the governor's alleged commitment to education at

The charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon was separated last February from the felony murder charge against Stanley W. Chavez.
The jury heard testimony yesterday from Mike Haller, a detective for the Lawrence Police Department, who said he had seen a 22-caliber bandwain in Chaver's home at 2309 Vermont St.
Fall fees may be reduced by plan to pay Wescoe construction bonds
Chaves will appear tomorrow on the felony murder charge. He is accused of killing two people in connection with a car crash.
Douglas County District Court Judge Mike Malone continued the Chavez trial until this morning, when the attorneys must snake their way to the jury box and decide whether Chavez is guilty of the gun charge.
A jury will decide today whether a Lawrence man, who has been charged in connection with the murder of a 2-year-old Lawrence boy, is guilty of possessing a firearm.
CRAIG STANCLIFE, ASSISTANT district attorney, presented documents to the court that said Chaver had been imprisoned in Nevada on from 176 to 1798, making him a convicted felon.
BUSINESSES USALLY DEFENSE when they want to make a second bond offer, Bibb said. By guaranteeing the first bonds on a contract, you can make the second issue more attractive to buyers.
Jury to rule on firearm, felony murder charges
James Bibb, KU associate director of business affairs, said he hoped that the action, known as defaessance, could be used on four other students. "We'll drop in the amount students pay for special fees.
KU students could pay less in special fees next fall because of a unique plan to pay off bonds that financed construction of Wescoe Hall, KU officials said Sunday.
Elmer White, who said he knew Chavez, testified that Chavez had shown him the handgun
Instead of using money that has accumulated to pay directly for the Wescoe bond obligations, KU will purchase U.S. Treasury securities, Bibb said.
The securities and the interest they earn will pay bondholders according to the schedule and at the interest rates that were specified when the bonds were issued, he said.
Dissasurance is the process of canceling bonds.
Defeasance is the process of canceling bonds. Bibb said businesses occasionally used defeasance procedures to absolve themselves of bond obligations. No other Kansas state government agency has used the procedure, he said.
Last fall, in anticipation of the new procedures, KU stopped collecting a $4.50 a semester special fee that students had been paying to retire bonds on Wesco Hall.
White also said Chavez told him he had a stolen gun so that police could not connect him to the police station.
By defusing the bonds, KU will relieve its students of the extra fees and will reduce the risk bondholders took when they bought the bonds, Bibb said.
KU could defense the bonds because higher than expected enrollments in the past few years brought in more money than was needed to pay off the bonds, Bibb said.
KU WILL ASK THE BOARD of Regents Friday to defense bonds on Watkins Hospital and the Kansas Union addition built in 1968, Bibb said.
If these procedures are successful, KU will then ask the Regents to defense bond issues for the Kansas Union Amex, an area added on to the Union in 1958, and the Frank R. Burge Union.
KU students currently pay $3 a semester in special fees to pay off bond obligations for Watkins, and $1.50 a semester for bonds for the University of California, added on to the north part of the Union in 1968.
Students now pay $1.50 a semester to pay off obligations, for the Union annex and $6 a semester for the Burge Union.
However, the $12 decrease may be offset by a $15 academic services fee to pay for library acquisitions, instructional equipment and academic computing. Students are voting in a referendum today whether to approve the fee, but the final decision is left to the chancellor.
Nich尔 Nicher, Chave's lawyer, offered no evidence in the case and called no witnesses.

and visual effects. It also won for best original score for John Williams' Grammy-winning composition.
"Missing" took the Oscar for best adapted screenplay, and Henry Mancini won for best adapted score of "Victor-Victoria."
Winners of two Oscars made political statements during their acceptance speeches before an estimated worldwide audience of half a billion
Zbigniew Rybczyznki, producer of the best short film, "Tango," ligered at the podium and said, "We share this award with Lech Walesa and Solidarity."
Edward Le Lorraine, accepting the best short subject documentary Oscar for "If You Love This Planet," a Canadian film about the effects of nuclear war that was listed as propaganda by the U.S. Justice Department, held up the statue and said simply, "An Oscar for peace."
"Volver a Empezar," ("To Begin Again"), the Spanish movie about a writer existed during the Franco era who returns to his hometown, was named best foreign-language film.
Other Oscars went to "Quest For Fire" for makeup, "A Shocking Accident" as best live action short film and "Just Another Missing Kid" as best documentary.
Colonel Zeev Livne, of the Israeli Army, spoke to an audience of about 50 people last night in Alderson Auditorium. Livne, who is studying in the United States, spoke of Israel's conflict with Lebanon and showed films about the situation.

tary strength, would be similarly difficult to attain, Livne said. U.S. support — both through training Lebanese soldiers and providing security troops — was crucial, he said.
"Lebanon can become strong to guard its own country," he said. "If that happens and the PLO does not return, there will be no moor. But Israel should not pull out until then."
"The heart of the problem of the Lebanese-Israeli war is the West Bank. The West Bank became an idea for a Palestinian state after the 1967 war."
"But the PLO wants all of Israel to be a Palestinian state — it wants all Israelis who came to Israel after 1947 to go back where they came from."
Between 60 percent and 70 percent of Jordan's population is Palestinian, he said, and Israelis do not understand it.
HE ALSO SAID that although 400,000 Arabic
Palestinians were living in Israel, to double or triple that number would be suicide for Israel.
"Reagan's proposal is the logical solution to the problem," he said. "But the first phase should be the PLO recognizing Israel's right to exist."
Livine said that Arabs had to recognize Israel' right to exist as a state in the Middle East.
He said that Anwar Sadat, the former president of Egypt who was assassinated in 1981, took initiative in making peace with Israel. Arab nations should follow that example, he said.
"It is the only model that can work," he said.
Sadat was brave and smart enough to request permission.
Even if the PLO ceases its terrorism along Israeli borders, however, it may continue terrorism in Europe and in other areas of the world. Live said.
Live will complete his studies at Leavenworth in June and will return to Israel.

In the tradition of the great Australian films, we are proud to present the first film from New Zealand to come to the Midwest: Roger Donaldson's "Smash Palace."
Pauline Kael in The New Yorker called it "an amazingly accomplished movie . . . the handling of the little girl is beyond praise." Other critics have echoed this praise. You must see...
The story of man and a woman and their child. A searing, heartrending picture of love gone wrong. A film you will never forget.
