"It is your court. It isn't the chief justice's court. It isn't the justices' court. It isn't the Senate's court. It's yours," he said. "Make the most of it."
"We are the end of the line. The buck stops here."
BLACKMUN'S LECTURE IS part of the Judge Nelson Timothy Stephens Lecture Series, which was established by Stephen's daughter, Kate, and coincides with the display of the Magna Charta at the University. Stephens helped start the School of Law.
During his visit to the University, Blackmun visited law classes, attended a special showing of the Magna Charta and a dinner with State Senator Richard A. Patterson, chair of the Board of Governors of the KU Law Society.
Francis Heller, professor of law, said Blackman answered questions in the advanced course.
"He was very open, very candid, very friendly, very informative," he said.
HELLER, WHO ALSO ATTENDED the dinner with Blackmun and other jurists Tuesday night, said that he and others were impressed. .
Blackmun is the first Supreme Court justice to visit the University in 10 years.
“It’s very difficult for these people to find time during the academic year,” Heller said. The last justice to come to the University was William Rehnquist.
"He has a very appealing way of talking. He certainly comes across as a very human person."
About 45 people, wearing black arm bands and carrying large banners, stood outside Murphy Hall to greet Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun, who spoke at KU yesterday. They were protesting the 1973 Supreme Court ruling in the Roe v. Wade case, which paved the way for more liberal abortion laws.
projected to grow next year, some as much as 20 percent. However, those percentages are distorted because the department has asked for an increase in scholarship money, which is not counted as either an operating expense or salary. Wachter said .
Two of the other programs that would increase in budget under the present proposal are;

Athletics
- **Basketball,** which would increase in overall budget by 27.5 percent. However, the percentages are misleading because of a $20,000 increase in the scholarships, the addition of a $10,000 fee to take care of expenses in hiring a new coach and the $47,300 salary of former head basketball coach Ted
*Baseball, which would also increase in overall budget by 29.8 percent percent. The increase is reflected in the hiring of a graduate assistant part-time coach, financed by the Williams Fund, and a two-fold increase in the amount of scholarship money.
Owens, who was fired last month but has one year left on his contract.
Several of the non-apart budgets also would increase significantly under the proposed budget.
*The capital outlay budget, which would increase 106 percent to $97,000. New vans that are needed to transport teams account for the increase. Wachter said.
- The Williams Fund expense budget, which
would increase about 32 percent. An employee who worked part-time with the ticket office and Williams Fund last semester will be paid full-time through the Williams Fund next year.
Another additional cost for the Williams Fund is the fee it must pay for its members' parking at athletic events at Memorial Stadium and Allen Field House. The increase in fee will be 50 cents a game for each car, amounting to an overall increase of $17,500.
- The general budget, which will increase about 20 percent because of a $33,000 contingency fund and $50,000 for lawyers' fees to respond to the National Collegiate Athletic Association's official inquiry into the KU athletic department.

and the Board of Legends.
"I guess my motivation was that perhaps I saw that this writer catastrophic example might help them understand the problem and paradox of their budget positions and help the chancellor to understand our predicament," he said.
Monday to deliver the letters to the legislators and the Board of Regents.
State Sen. August Bogina, R-Lenexa, said that he appreciated Schwepe's letter and sympathized with him but that Schwepe was late in informing legislators of the problem.
"The problem is, if every department went to the Legislature, we'd be inundated." Bogina said. "But he is well-founded in his concerns. I agree with him but I don't know what we can
HE SAID HE SELDOM received letters from professors that detailed university problems.
Schweppe said he wrote the letter after he received notice that 15 of 34 sections offered for CS 200, the beginning computer science course, had been canceled.
The cancellation of those sections will allow only about 570 students to enroll in the class.
which is a requirement for business students and some engineering students.
EVEN IF ALL 34 SECTIONS originally scheduled for the course had been offered, about 1,020 would have been able to enroll, he said. But that still would have left out 600 students who did not attend.
The department will have to turn away 450 more students because of the section cancel-
"I consider it pretty catastrophic when we will be turning away more than 60 percent of the population," he said.
The department now has 13 faculty positions and has been allotted four more, he said, but the money has been used to hire graduate teaching assistants.
"Well, we've been doing pretty well this year,
although we are about eight faculty members
below what we should be for the load of graduate programs we carry; "," he said.
AND MONEY FOR THE graduate teaching assistants, which has traditionally come from shrinkage from other University departments, is becoming scarce this year. Schwpe said.
Maintaining a strong computer science program at the University is important to the national economy, he said. The country has 700 fewer computer science doctors than it needs.
A strong computer science program is also important if the state wants to attract high-technology industries, Schwepe said.
VICTOR WALLACE, CHAIRMAN of the computer science department, agreed.
"I think there are a lot of fields associated with high tech in the University that have neglected," he said. "If the state really does want to put up a credible attack to get high tech firms to move here, I would suggest for the wefully inadequate resources in the sciences — and computer science in particular."
