considered in the light of problems the state of Kansas is having', he said.
Hess said the state would have to squeeze $9.1 million from state programs or increase taxes to finance the welfare system.
"The marginal poor have a high priority in this economy." Hess said.
GAINES SAID he expected the Senate Ways and Means Committee to uphold the subcommittee's decision. The measure would then be sent to the Senate for a vote.
He said that in the last month, 400 people had

been added to the state welfare program. Most of those people were unemployed, he said, and had not wanted to turn to state assistance.
A robber armed with a pistol took about $100 last night from a Kerr-Mcee police service station, 920 N. Second St., a Lawrence police officer said last night.
A DEMOCRATIC caucus last week discussed the welfare system, Gaines said, and decided that keeping roofs over poor people's heads was more important than an increasing funding for the state programs.
the robbery was the second one in less than a month at the station.
Li. Charles Greer said the man, dressed in blue jeans and a ski mask, robbed the station about 11 p.m. and fled on foot.
other state programs.
The Ways and Means subcommittee decided to continue benefits each month for serious health problems. Also, the state would continue to pay about $100 a month in benefits to general assistance recipients between ages 18 and 51.
B police were searching the area last night, but no had arrested anyone by 11:30 p.m.
GREER SAD the gun the robber used was a small scalp silver gator.
Chief won't suspend injured police officer
A Lawrence police officer who injured himself slightly in a shooting accident last week will not be suspended, Lawrence Police Chief R. Richard Stanwix said yesterday.
Sgt. Larry Loveland, who Stanwix said was authorized to service the department's firearms, received minor powder burns to the face and eyes last week when a 38-caliber pistol he was servicing in his office discharged less than a foot from his face.
STANWIX SAID he had studied the results of an investigation of the incident and had decided that no further action was necessary.
Water
the water rate every 10 years. The next readjustment should be made on Dec. 29, 1987.
From page 1
Winter said his amendment would make existing law, which sets the maximum rate on water from federal reservoirs at 60 percent, apply when the city's rate was reinstated.
Angell said Winter's amendment would increase the water rates of all other users in the state because it would keep Lawrence's rates low.
State Sen. August Bogina Jr., R-Lenexa, also
proposed the bill.
opposed the fire.
IF THE RATE the state sets is too high, he said, cities will seek to build their own reservoirs or get their water elsewhere.
or get that deal. State Sen. Tom Rehorn, D-Kansas City, said Winter and the League of Kansas Municipalities, which also opposed the bill, were overreacting.
when he said the bill would increase water bills for a family of four in Lawrence by only about $14 a year.
The bill also would authorize the Water Authority to collect money as part of the water rates for the planning and development of future water supplies.
Winter shall be objected to that part of the rate increase. The state should not be raising money for future water supplies when no plan yet exists for using that money, he said.
The Senate voted 33-4 in favor of the bill, which will now go to the House for study.

"Next year we're faced potentially with a crisis, almost part of a perpetual crisis," he said.
Library
Katzman said that if the libraries had to manage with 95 percent of a budget, as they did last year, the library would be forced to cancel many subscription subscriptions and purchase 8,227 fewer books.
If the library receives 100 percent of the budget it had before last year's reduction, it would still have a $285.25 shortfall and would have to cancel 2.635 books and 5.306 books.
These figures are correct when assuming that two $100,000 grants from the Kansas University Endowment Association will be renewed. If they are not, the shortfall figures would be $200,000 higher, and the library would be forced to give up an additional 2,000 serials and 4,000 books.
THE UNIVERSITY is ranked 33rd in the amount it spends on library materials, according to figures from the Association of Research Libraries.
Katzman said that if the KU law and medical libraries were not included, the University's ranking would be much lower.
talking we be more than a student.
"From my perspective as a faculty member, we begin to erode the value of an undergraduate degree at KU when the library is eroded," he said. "Having to cut subscriptions and buy fewer books than we are now would be a disaster."
katzman said that because the library emphasized instruction more than research,
cutbacks of materials would have an impact on students.
Howard said the amount of any cutback would be determined by the money allocated. Library bibliographers would work with faculty in all departments to decide what titles would be
THE KANSAS LEGISLATURE will consider KU's budget requests this spring. After the state allocates money to the University, the office of the university distributes the money to different areas of the University.
The money for libraries comes from a category in the budget known as Other Operating Expenses, or OOE.
Howard said the costs of books and periodicals were increasing at a higher rate than the money allocated to OOE.
"More money is buying less," he said.
He said that last year the rate of inflation of domestic periodicals was 14.5 percent. This year, Carlin has proposed an increase of about 7 percent in OOE, Howard said.
Howard said the problem of costs exceeding budget allocations had been a concern for the past three years, but the last time the library had to cancel subscriptions was three years ago. The library then was forced to discontinue $40,000 worth of periodicals in 800 titles.
HOWARD SAID THE two $100,000 grants the library had received in the last few years had allowed it to avoid the consequences of the small OOE increase.

What phraseology adequately describes those unwilling to even acknowledge such misbehavior? The quagmiry quarterbacks who people this set hastily ascribe most expressions of opinion to the dregs of society because of their own (the quagmiry set's) inability to empathize.
Last August I used an advertorial to object to the "gross displays of irresponsibility and hooliganism" which so frequently occur in the vicinity of 14th and Ohio. I'm not returning to the neighborhood to seek further information from its residents because some of them were afraid then that any response to the recurring din in which they figured would only inspire further noise, trespassing, and property damage. It's not incidental to add that several of the beleaguered were elderly women upon whom obviously only the most vile wouldrey; yet the aging of these victims, as of last summer, had failed to stem the tide of abuse.
In our society where power is delegated to the few, anyone's misbehavior should engender a response. Are the aforementioned Oread neighborhood residents still enduring the excesses of the intoxicated and autointoxicated? If this sad state of affairs still exists, perhaps it simply illustrates that the "easily daunted" know no vocational bounds.

A FEW REFLECTIONS ON COWARDICE
A "basely timid, easily frightened, and easily daunted person" is the dictionary definition of a coward. While this narrow definition is one that befits our violent culture, I categorize it as inadequate because it ignores the coward's willingness to act when the odds are heavily in his favor. This is why a puerture punk imperiling the life of another with his speeding vehicle, an armed malefactor threatening the life of another with a loaded weapon and an armchair indolent directing the harrassment of another with his foul mouth all qualify as cowards. In each of these examples the coward has created a situation in which he bears relatively little risk and thus thrives.
