Legislators see fee proposal as precedent
By JOEL THORNTON
Staff Reporter
A proposed $15 fee increase to help finance KU library acquisitions, computers and equipment could open the way for KU students to pay similar fees for other programs, several state legislators said recently.
The legislators said they thought that some of their colleagues might interpret the proposal, made by the KU administration, as a message that would be willing to pick up educational costs that the state would not pay for.
"I would be kind of cold and not terribly excited about the prospect of putting another $15 fee on the stu-
dium," he said. State Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence.
STATE STE. Wint Winter, R- Lawrence, said that the proposal disturbed him but that he could not be disturbed. KU administration for making it.
Winter said the cost of students' education should be included in the tuition rates and not in extra charges. He called the fee increase proposal a back-door approach to financing state universities.
1 "don't like the precedent that would set." Winter said, "It a last-resort hotel."
State Rep. Betty Jo Charlton
-D Lawrence, said she did not want to
comment on what she saw as an internal matter of the University.
However, she said it was unfortunate that the state's financial position caused KU officials to propose the fee increase.
STATE SEN, Paul Hess, R-Wichita, chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, said he thought that students should pay 25 percent of the costs of tuition, in order that they should not have to pay for the construction of most buildings.
Resident students at Regents schools pay an average of 21 percent of the cost
The Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee is to decide today whether to recommend the fee increase proposal to the full Senate. Chancellor Gene A. Budig is to take the Senate's proposal to the Board of Regents. The Regents are to discuss it at their April meeting and on it in May.
If approved by the Regents, the fee increase would be in effect for three years, starting with the 1983-84 school year.
KU ADMINISTRATORS have said the fee was needed because Gov. John Carlin recommended increases of only $175,000 for academic computing and equipment and $100,000 for literary accoutrement cell below the Regents original request
increase until the Legislature had passed some revenue-reasing bills, bills that would end an eight-year rule.
Solbach be he hoped that the Regents would not approve the fee
Solbach said, however, that the Regents were responsible for considering the proposal and that the Legislature should not interfere.
WINTER ALSO said the proposal should not be rruled out completely.
"It's not appropriate for us to be going that way, but that's not to say it shouldn't be something the Student Senate should look at," he said.
Charlton said the proposed fee increase could signal to some legislators that students would foot the bill if they did not allocate enough money to universities.
Some legislators think that endowment associations and private contributions can replace the money that the state cannot provided Charlton said.
"I don't believe in that," she said. "They are state-supported institutions, and the state should support them. It's unfortunate that those kinds of things encourage more budget cutting by the leadership here."
HESS SAID he thought that the proposed fee increase might tell the Legislature that the University was paying money it needed to support its programs.
"I think it would be positive that the Legislature,," he said. "It might draw attention to the daffadade. It should send a message."
A committee of university presidents, student leaders and Regents is to discuss the proposal at the Rogentis Center for Public Policy at Keykop, executive director of the Regents
Koplik said the Legislature and student groups should work together to make sure each group was financing appropriate programs at the universities.
"I THINK what we need to do is develop responsible roles of state and students in financing our education," he said. "Like anything, there could be too much of a good thing. If we start putting a price tag on every sort of service the university provided, I'd be concerned about that."
Rob Raine, student body president at Wichita State University and a member of the special committee, said students should not have to bear the state's obligations of financing university academic programs.
"I think it is setting an incredibly dangerous precedent," he said of the proposed $15 fee. "I'm violently opposed to it. When students take on the job, the liability of funding, we're opening ourselves to be nicked and dimed to death."
RAINE SAID Wichita State students had been paying off a bond issue on several campus buildings with their fee payments. Out of the $8.20 a credit hour fee rate, students pay 82 cents to finance the buildings, he said.
Jayhawk football staff to tour 30 living groups
By ANDREW HARTLEY Staff Reporter
Residents of more than 30 living groups at the University of Kansas will have a chance to meet football players and the new coaching staff in their own dining rooms this week.
The Student Sports Council completed plans for the program at its March 9 meeting. A football coach and teammate, the inner衣 and speak briefly to each group.
MIKE HAMRICK, administrative assistant to the athletic director, said recently that about 25 groups had approved the visit and that he would hear soon from another 10 groups.
Anne Stucker, chairman of the council, said that head football coach Mike Gottfried, his eight assistants and the 14 assistant coaches, visited the visitation program each evening.
Most of the groups, she said, will be scholarship halls, fraternities and sororities. Only one of the groups — GSP-Corbin — is a residence hall.
Hamrick said that because residence halls had staggered dinner times and ate in larger groups, the visitation plan would not work as well.
HOWEVER, HEF, said the sports council had discussed ways that football players and coaches could meet students in the residence halls.
Obviously, residence halls are very, very important to the department.
Sucker said the reason for the tours was to start enthusiasm for the next football season by bringing the football team and players and the students together.
She said that although the sports council was hoping the publicity would convert into tickets sales next fall, the club would be putting tickets at the living groups during the summer.
"The sports council realized that spring was a bad time for money for many students, especially after spring break," Stucker said. "We'd rather just get the players and coaches seen by the students."
"I THINK people are kind of down on KU athletics at this point because of some bad publicity. And some of the players haven't helped that either."
Stucker said the exposure would help students realize that KU athletes were
Football tickets and all-sports tickets, which include football games, all home basketball games and the Kansas Relays, will be sold around Easter.
Book collectors can compete in KU contest

The contest, named after Elizabeth Snyder, a book collector from Kansas City, Kan., is sponsored by Snyder and the Oread Bookstore.
Entrants must submit a bibliography of the books in their collection, and a paper describing the works, the method used to obtain them, and the purpose of the collection.
COLLECTIONS MUST be submitted to Spencer Research Library by April
18. Finalists will be chosen and judged April 22.
Entries must have between 25 and 50 books, regardless of the size of the total collection. The books must be owned and collected by the student.
Judges will be faculty and others who are knowledgeable about books and collecting.
First and second places will be awarded in an undergraduate and graduate division. First place will receive a $100 gift certificate from the
Oread Bookstore and second place will win a $50 gift certificate.
NORA QUINLAN, librarian for special collections at Spencer Research Library, said the purpose of the contest was to encourage book collecting.

She said a previous winner had a collection focusing on tobacco, with novels, newsletters and other types of books.
