Ashner supports fee increase
By SARA KEMPIN Staff Reporter
KU administrators will not say whether they will approve a $5.90 activity and privilege fee increase, but Lisa Ashner, student body president, predicted yesterday that they would.
Ashner said she would soon review the proposal, approved at Wednesday night's Student Senate meeting, and be presented with a vice chancellor for student affairs.
But Amber said he would not comment on whether the administration would approve the increase until Ashner had reviewed the proposal.
Ashner's recommendations must be submitted to him by mid-March so administrators can prepare their materials for Regents of Regents by April 1, Amber said.
VIRTUOSLY, we have to look at it in relationship to other costs and fees and what the overall picture would be," he said.
"We're eager to receive it so we can evaluate the requests they're making as well as other requests for fees."
Asher justified the increase by saying the Senate had raised funds for some groups so that the groups could continue providing the current level of funding.
The Senate Finance and Auditing Committee recommended the lowest
"No one wants fees to go up," she said.
But the fee increases do not mean the groups will be providing more training.
SHE SAID SHE anticipated the administration would support the increases, though administrators will expect that a high fee increase will not pass a high fee increase.
The Regents has approved a 20 percent increase in the enrollment fee for next year, she said. And the student health fee also might rise.
The Regents probably will not realize the Senate's hard work in preparing the proposal, she said.
"they'll just see it as a $3.50 increase by the Senate here, and a $10 increase there, and they might not pass it."
If either the administration or the Regents fails to pass the recommendation, the budget will go back to the Senate for further consideration.
AMBLER SAID he was not sure whether the fee increase should have been voted on by the students in a referendum.
Ambler said, "I have a great deal of respect for Paul and what he was trying to represent there."
At the Senate meeting Wednesday night Paul Buskirk, holder senator, moved to allow KU students to vote on the fee increases.
But he said graduate students and other minority student groups could lose out in a referendum.
But the Senate voted not to allow the referendum.
Buskirk said he thought the students should vote on the increases because their money was being used to pay the services of student organizations.
Senate protests foreign-student bill
By SARA KEMPIN Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
The House Federal and State Affairs committee Tuesday endorsed a bill that would more clearly define the difference between foreign and out-of-state dollars, the bill would also allow the Regents to raise tuition for both types of students.
The Student Senate will use every means available to it to fight a proposal to allow the Board of Regents to raise foreign students' fees, Jim Cramer.
At its meeting Wednesday, the Senate passed a petition to the Regents and the Kansas Legislature that voiced disproval of the proposal passed by the House Ways and Means Committee that day.
Loren Busby, chairman of the finance and auditing committee, spoke at the meeting.
CRAMER SAID one of the purposes of the Senate was to represent the entire nation.
saying, "If we don't represent foreign students, we're sending them a direct signal that we don't care about them."
"The state is making a distinction it should not make," he said. "If it would be saying KU is a University for students in United States, not from other countries."
LISA ASHNER, Senate, said the bill was not intended to increase the amount of money brought into the Regents institutions.
The representative, Sandy Duncan,
R-Wichita, could not be reached for
Bush said, "It was very upsetting to me that one representative stood up during the committee meeting and not know who the real Americans are."
State Rep, Keith Farrar, R-Hugoton,
co-sponsor of the bill, said the proposal
Some of the costs of educating foreign
students are subsidized by American taxpayers, Farrar said.
"I AM IN FAVOR of the bill because it gives us a chance to look at the dollars and cents of the issue and to go from there." he said.
Cramer said, "This is the first year that I can remember that Senate has done something."
"For us to ignore the issue would be a stink in the face to all foreign students."
Even though some of the taxes Kansasans pay help finance the education of foreign students, he said the cultural exchange was well worth it.
"Learning about other people and their cultures broadens our horizons and is what education is all about," he said. If foreign students stopped studying in Kansas, other students would come out of KU the same way they came in.
Busby said foreign students would still come to the area, but they would not.
