University Daily Kansan, February 24.1983 Page Officials to address classified pay raise By JOEL THORNTON Staff Reporter KU classified employees will learn what stands between themselves and a pay raise when they meet with University officials at 7 tonight in the library. Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, and Keith Nitcher, director of business affairs, will review the goals the University of Kansas hopes to achieve in its 1983 budget proposal, now before the Kansas Legislature, said Suzanne Cupp, Classified Senate president. CLASSIFIED SENATE represents about 1,700 non-faculty employees at KU, including secretaries, clerks and other support staff. Cupp said classified employee at the University had spent the last month An informal question-and-answer period with Cobb and Nitcher will begin. talking to individual legislators in an effort to lobby for a larger salary increase than the 4 percent increase proposed by Gov. John Carlin. She said, however, that prospects for a larger salary increase were not good because of the state's tight financial situation. JOE COLLINS, legislative liaison for the classified employees, agreed. In addition, the inability of Carlin and the Legislature to agree on a severance tax bill has hurt classified employees' prospects for a larger pay increase, she said. The state will not be able to afford a salary increase greater than 4 percent unless the Legislature acts quickly on a plan that would increase the gasoline and sales taxes, he said. Although much of the Legislature's action this session has been discouraging, Cupp said, she was pleased by the Senate's approval of a school finance bill Tuesday. "What's going to tell it for us is the kind and quality of tax revenues passed by the Legislature." Collins said. "I don't know if we'll get all those items this year. We'll get the severance tax, for sure." The bill allows state school districts to increase their budgets by 3 percent to 6 percent, which is lower than Carlin's of a 4 percent to 8 percent increase. "It is discriminatory to give them more than us," she said. CARLIN'S PROPOSAL would have allowed state elementary and secondary school teachers to receive an 8 to 9 percent salary increase, which classified employees felt was unfair, she said. However, State Rep. William Bunten, R-Topeka, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said a smaller increase in state aid to schools will allow classified employees to receive more than a 4 percent pay increase. "It probably should, because we try to get some equity between the groups," he said. "But fairness has never been a part of what we've done up here." COLLINS SAID he was encouraged by the warm reception he and Cupp received at the Association of Universities in Halls legislative dinner Monday night. State Sen. Paul Hess, R-Wichita, chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, has been especially impressed by the classified employees' interests, he said Collins said a reduction in Carlin's school aid proposal indicated that the Legislature might not be willing to dole money for state employee salary increases. "We were extremely pleased to note that anytime there was any mention of state employees, they said faculty and classified employees." Collins said In the past, classified employees have often been overlooked by the Law Enforcement. Senate to vote on resolution Committee unanimously passes open-seating bill By ANDREW HARTLEY Staff Reporter After only five minutes of lackluster debate, the Student Senate Sports Committee yesterday unanimously passed a resolution calling for a student open-seating section at home football games. Anne Stucker, co-chairman of the sports committee, said she hoped the bill would be put to a Senate vote in two weeks. Officials in the athletic department have said they would move immediately to implement the plan if passed by the Senate. LAST SEMESTER. a different open-seating plan was voted down by the Senate. The primary opposition to that bill was from senators who said it would not enforce it and could not enforce an open-seating plan. The present proposal recommends that the upper tier of seats on the east side of the stadium be an area in which seats holders could choose their own seat. A section north of the 50-yard line in the lower tier would be set aside for reserved student seating. Those tickets will be sold by class rank as in the past. THE STUDENT Sports Council, a 13-member advisory group to the athletic department, recommended last week that if the Senate passed an amendment to the bill for tickets would be $27 for a reserved seat seat and $24 for an open seat. The bill also recommends that the price for an open-seating ticket be at least 10 percent less than the price for a student reserved seat. The present bill would allow reserved ticket holders to sit in the open-seating area, but would not allow an open-seating ticket holder to sit in the open-seating section. The bill that voted down had strictly separated the sections. The price last season for a reserved student ticket was $25. Stucker said the advantage to letting reserved ticket holders sit in the open THE PLAN for Parents Day is also different. The present bill will keep the reserved section closed to parents, but the open-seating area will be open to any ticket. The last bill would have opened all student seating. area was to permit students and their guests to sit together instead of squeezing them illegally into reserved seats. The bill also names four ways that the athletic department should enforce the open-seating; clearly mark the open and reserved sections, sell tickets of a different color for the two sections, inform the ushers of the different sections and rope off the reserved ticket section.
