Senate rejects Hilltop request for $3,000
By SUSAN WORTMAN Staff Reporter

The Hillop Child Development Center is one of the first organizations on campus to feel the pinch of cuts in Student Senate funding.
The Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee recommended last week that the center not receive the $3,000 it requested.
Hilltop is a licensed kindergarten and preschool, used mostly by parents who are KU students, faculty or staff members. According to Joan Reiber, 60 percent of parents who keep their children at the center are KU students.
REIBER SAID the money she requested from the Senate was to create 35 scholarships for low-income children. Parents now pay $8.50 a day to attend classes at Hilltop. The scholarships would cut that rate to $8 a day. They would have
been especially used for children with only one parent.
Reiber said the funding was not part of Hillion's operational budget.
Loren Busby, chairman of the finance committee, made the motion to cut funding after the committee vote ended in a tie.
"There are many worthwhile programs that don't not enough money to build." Budby
KU programs requested almost $145,000 in funding this year and the following year.
THE COMMITTEE justified the cut because the money would have been used to deceive the foe that parents or children to stay at Hilltop, Bubsy said.
"Everyone on the committee is sold on Hilltop. Busby said, 'They provide an outstanding service. If the money were doubled, increasing rates it would have been OK."
"we came down to having the four largest programs left and we just didn't
have enough money to go around.
Consumer Affairs, Headquarters and Women's Transitional Services have a long record of serving KU students and Douglas County,'baid Busy.' "They are important and of a greater service."
Hilltop has tried to keep rates down so that students are not priced out of using the service, said Joan Tramel, chairman of the board at Hilltop. Many of the children in Hilltop are working with tight budgets already, she said.
REIBER SAID, "We don't want to lose the student families. We don't want our prices to be out of their price range, because Hilton was set up for them."
Tracy Thompson, finance committee member, said that Senate funding was also used to hire classroom aides for Hilltop, most of whom are KU students. She said the cut could affect the aide program.
"The money was going to fund aide positions. They will probably have to
cut between two and four aide positions, "she said.
Reiber said she was more concerned about the low-income families.
"I don't know why they cut Hilltop. Maybe it was just an easy way out. They could have just cut half," Thompson said. "I just think that it is important for children to have a place to go on campus."
LOW-INCOME PARENTS do have other ways to get financial aid if they want their child to stay at Hilltop, Reibel said. The Douglas County Child Development Association has several scholarships available. Hilltop also has several scholarships for low-income families.
"We're trying to entice children from the beginning when they are toddlers, but that is when it is most expensive," she said. "We need to invest more scholarship money available."
Reiber said that she was disappo-
nished that the Student Senate com-

Alumni pledge more than $53,000 in fund drive
Alumni pledged $33,411 to the Kansas University Endowment Association during the fourth annual national telephone campaign. Endowment Association officials said last week.
By AMY CRAIG Staff Reporter
The Endowment Association passed its $3,000 goal on the seventh night of the 10-night campaign. Last year, the organization's $2,500 campaign, which had a goal of $28,000.
THE MONEY raised during the campaign, which began March 21 and ended last Thursday, will go into the Endowment Association's Greater University Fund, and most of the money will be put into unrestricted funds, said Steve Menaugh, coordinator of public relations.
Unrestricted funds have been used in the past for student financial aid, library books, scientific equipment, museum acquisitions, Mennug said.
One hundred and twenty-five volunteers from 20 fraternity and sorority
houses worked at the campaign in teams that spent three hours each night of the campaign calling alumni. The volunteers got 1,665 pledges.
Menaigh said the volunteers called alumni in all states except Kansas and Missouri, because the Endowment Association wanted to contact alumni who had not stayed in touch with the University. Most of the alumni contacted had never contributed to the Endowment Association.
THE NUMBER of alumni who make pledges but who do not send their money to the Endowment Association is low, Menaugh said.
Kappa Alpha Theta sorority had the highest dollar amount in pledges, with $4,120. The Theta and the Ph Delta were tied for first place at $7,475, the highest total for one night.
This year's average pledge was $22.07, compared to an average pledge
of $18.99.
team, received the most pledged for one caller 32. Her team also got the most pledged for one caller 40.
Dennis Strickland, Bucyrus junior and a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon team, raised the most money during the campaign. He got 30 pledges totaling $1,635. The largest pledge he got was $110.
Laurie Mackey, director of the Greater University Fund, said the success of the campaign could be attributed to the students.
"BECAUSE THIS was the fourth year of the telefund, we're getting students who have called before, and they're doing a better job each year," she said. "I can't say enough good things about the students. I'm so impressed with the way that they'll come and spend the night calling so that they can do something to benefit KU."
Melodie Mauck, Stockton junior and a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta
an average of 53 people each night. About 25 percent of the alumni contacted pledged money, she said, and 22 percent said they would consider giving money after receiving a feature about the Greater University Fund.
Mackey said each student talked to
Strickland, who has worked for the campaign for three years, said, "Getting the pledges is just luck. You take a number and talk to the people. It's somewhat in the delivery, but it's mostly luck.
"The alums always want to know what's going on at KU. Their initial reaction is 'You're not really calling from KU.' But they're always glad to hear from us. You always get people who say they will donate because the football team did good or say they won't donate because the teams did bad."
