KU officials prepare for budget hearings
By JOEL THORNTON Staff Reporter
Legislative hearings on Gov. John Carlin's proposed 1984 budget will not begin for another few weeks, but KU administrators said this week that they had been busy promoting the University's budget requests.
Chancellor Gene A. Budig said KU officials had met with legislators in the past month to discuss KU's budget priorities
"The budget is a never-ending process," Badig said. "It demands the attention of the people."
Richard von Ende, KU executive secretary and legislative liaison, said the legislative budget hearings could begin as early as next week. Approval by both houses and the governor will not come until April or May.
BUDIG SAID HE would meet this week with a group of Lawrence legislators and the House of Justice, who requests that they know of KU's interests.
Budig and other KU officials, including von Ende, Keith Nitcher, director of business affairs, Ward Zimmerman, budget director, and Martin Jones, assistant director of financial services, will be involved with faculty, students and staff to inform them of the progress of budget negotiations.
Budig said KU's most important goal was to regain the $3.1 million cut from Regents schools' 1983 budgets which Carlin made last summer.
The reduction was made to prevent a state budget deficit at the end of the
"Without reinstatement of the rescis-
ston, the university would be affected in a significant way," Budig said.
THE UNIVERSITY IS especially interested in faculty and staff pay raises, he said. Carolin's proposed 4 percent raise would half the Regents' request of 8 percent.
Nitcher said the University was writing a response to Carlin's proposed budget.
The response, which is being compiled by the KU budget office, will also focus on last summer's budget reduction and the salary increases. Nitcher
Other important budget requests for KU, Budig said, include money for library improvement, computers and instructional equipment.
Budig said another way to promote the University's budget needs was to invite legislative committees to campus to view KU programs and build-ings.
Several weeks ago, a House committee on high technology was shown some of KU's computers and sophisticated machinery. The committee requests for additional money for high technology research and computers.
TODAY THE HOUSE ENERGY and Natural Resources Committee will visit the Geological Survey building on West Campus.
Budig said legislators respected KU's academic reputation and wanted to support the University as much as they did, given the state's financial situation.
"They don't want to hurt KU," he said. "Without question, they realize KU is important to the future development of the state."
Johnson wants teamwork to aid athletic program
By ANDREW HARTLEY Staff Reporter
The KU athletic program will not pull itself out of its slump unless coaches, students and alumni pull together and work as a team, Monte Johnson, athletic director, said yesterday.
Johnson's remarks came during a 35-minute speech delivered to an audience of 40 attending a hunchon of coaches and staff for group women at sports at KU.
Johnson said coaches, especially those in revenue sports, must concentrate on winning consistently to increase the revenue gained at the gate.
When the final figures are tallied this year, the football program is expected to bring in $85,000 less income than anticipated and the basketball program is expected to fall $50,000 short of its budget.
REVENUE LOST BY low gate receipts is difficult to make up for through alumni donations, he said, although the department was bailed out of an almost inevitable deficit this year and that will allow money from the Big Eight Conference.
"But don't get me wrong," he said, "do like to win. But I also like to think that we could achieve the same quality we have in academics at the University."
Johnson said he was concerned about the trend toward winning at all costs, particularly at the expense of an athlete's right to a good education.
One of Johnson's worries about athletics at KU is the image of the man with a mustache.
He said that the image of the program could have been damaged by the preliminary investigation conducted during recent months by the
National Collegiate Athletic Association
"TO ME THIS IS the type of thing we can 'can't grow', a plan to help them grow, 'Johnson said.'
Students will play an important role in restoring health to the athletic program, Johnson said.
"There is a tremendous amount of need for student involvement," he said.
Johnson's two cures for declining student involvement are more representation for the students and a winning tradition, both of which he said could happen with new head football coach Mike Goffried.
Johnson said the student representation would come through the Student Sports Council, which meets for the first time today. He gave credit to the new sports committee Lessig for efforts to bring the students back into the department's decisions.
JOHNSON SAID THAT when Gottrie tried over his past jobaching job at the University of Cincinnati, attendance rose considerably because of his rapport with students and an exciting, winning team.
"We have to make sure the home court and home field advantage stay
But Johnson said the alumni of the University were an important part of the program. They had the power to bring in more money while the overall athletic program was in transition, he said.
Since taking over as director in December, he said, he has spent one-third to one-fourth of his time personally contacting alumni.
However, he said that although he was asking alumni to double their present contributions, he was also asking alumni on alumni on the state of the program.
