KU financial aid funds to increase in '84
Dwight Metzler began yesterday's ground-breaking ceremony for the engineering library to be built in front of Learned Hall. Metzler, chairman of the school's advisory committee, was helped by David Kraft, dean of the School of Engineering, and Deanell Tachia, vice cancellor for academic affairs.
The University of Kansas will gain $1,556 for campus-based financial aid programs for 1984, the director of financial aid said yesterday.
Tentative allotment figure for 1984 aid programs were released last week, and funding is now available.
"The amounts will be almost exactly the same as last year," Rogers said. "We are receiving a little less in certain areas than last year, but there is an increase in work-study."
program has been increased to $50,000, up $7,259 from last year's $497,741. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program funds have been reduced to $464,378, down $5,703 from last year's $470,081.
The allotment for the work-study
Rogers said that the estimates were based on government formulas and that the amounts were determined by the government money available. The final figures will be announced later in the year.
study program, said that the increase returne to the work-study program to its
Pam Houston, director of the work.
The work-study program gets 80 percent of its money from the federal government, and the remaining 20 percent goes to the state government, Boston said.
The program provides campus jobs for students as an alternative to loans.
"WE WERE CUT almost 20 percent last year," she said. "Things were
pretty tight. This will result in an increase in the number of jobs to their 1981 number."
The SEOGs were supplied to about 900 students last year. The grants average $500 and do not have to be repaid.
In addition, the National Direct Student Loan program level was increased from $1.6 million last year to $1,637,748 for 1984, said Millie Foree, director of the program.
Cost-cutting trims 40 pages from new timetables
Not even timetables have escaped the University's cost-cutting blade this year.
Fall 1983 enrollment timetables, which were first distributed yesterday, were made 40 pages smaller than they have been in the past few years to save money. Gary Thompson, director of student records, said yesterday.
Instead of printing the long list of professor's names for dissertations and publications, I should

ONE PROMINENT ERROR occurred in the timetable, Thompson
said. On the cover, the date for fee payment is correctly stated as Wednesday, August 17 for students with last names of L. through Z, and Thursday, August 18 for names A through K.

"I just tell people 'the cover is correct.'" he said.
Thompson said that printing the
smaller book resulted in a large savings for the university, although he made it harder to obtain it.
"We've been looking around trying to find ways to spend our money better," he said. "It's going to surprise a lot of people who don't know what we are and don't see that long list of names."
ABOUT 26,000 TIMETABLES were printed he said, resulting in 52,000 fewer sheets of paper than were used in the past.
Referendum on fees proposed
By SARA KEMPIN Staff Reporter

The Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee last night opposed a bill to add a $15 general academic services for to tuition next year and the end of term.
The committee also decided that if the Senate approved either fee increase, the proposed increase must be voted on by students in a referendum.
The committee decided to forward the bill on the $15 academic services fee to the Senate without recommendation and to delay a final decision at their meeting tonight.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, told the committee that the chancellor would be the final KU president to decide whether to institute the fees.
Any such fee also would have to be approved by the Board of Regents.
"WHATEVER YOU DO is in the form of advice and counsel to the chancellor," he referred. "If you add a student referendum as an additional voice or substitution for your advice that too is advice to the chancellor."
The committee also amended both
bills to exempt law students from navigating either fee.
Michael Davis, dean of the School of Law, told the committee that law students already paid a comparable, but much lower, fee to attend. So they should not have to pay further.
In 1966, KU law students agreed to impose a $50 tuition increase, also called a differential fee, on themselves to pay for faculty salary increases. And in 1973, the differential fee for out-of-state law students was increased to $75.
When tuition increases were determined in the period between 1966 and 1980, the percentage increase was figured on tuition without the differential fee added in. But in 1980, the tuition increase was determined using both the base rate of tuition and the differential fee.
BECAUSE OF THIS, the additional cost to in-state students increased by $17. And the cost to out-of-state students increased by $29.
Davis said this money was not earmarked specifically for use by the law school, but rather was used by the department to provide other things, including academic services.
Karen Schlueter, law school senator,
said, "We're not asking to be treated as
a special interest group. We only want to be treated fairly."
The proposed $15 academic services fee- is supported by several KU administrators who have said that the $200,000 that would be generated by the fee is badly needed to maintain the quality of KU's computing and instructional equipment as well as its library acquisitions.
IF THE SENATE DOES not pass a $15 fee increase, the administration can still recommend to the Regents that the fee be instituted. But administrators maintain that they will seriously consider the recommendations of the students and particularly the Student Senate.
Tom Berger, graduate student student, said, "If there are academic units suffering from a lack of monies, I don't pay." He also指出了 affected units don't charge students fees.
"I cannot at this time support a $15 fee increase because the people in Topka are supposed to be looking out for education, not the students," he said.
Minister: Church begat homophobia
Fear of homosexuality is founded in Christianity, a former Methodist minister.
"I'm convinced that homophobia in our culture has its roots within the Christian church, and if it's ever going to change, it's got to happen within the Church's walls," said Julian Rush, who was dismissed as minister of a Boulder, church in 1981 after he told the congregation that he was a homosexual.
lebsians wcre sub-human in God's eyes.
He said that Christians had traditionally spoken out against oppression and injustice, but that many Christians behind the notion that homosexuals and
and that he usually succeeded in convincing himself that he was not a homosexual. But his homosexuality always surfaced, he said.
One year after finishing his seminary training, he was married, and two years later his first son was born. Rush said. The marriage lasted 14 years.
RUSH SAID THAT homosexuals living in a society ruled by white, heterosexual males were restricted by their standards.
Rush opened Gay Awareness Week at the University of Kansas with his speech on "Coming Out in a Closed Society." He spoke to more than 40 people in the Jayhawk Room at the Kansas Union.
He said that coming out was both a traumatic experience and a relief.
"I was born gay, but I grew up denying it," he said.
He lost some close friends and was rejected by some members of his team, but he also said that he went from making $250 a minister to $6,000 as a sales clerk.
