Lady promises support at local reception
His love for Lawrence probably increased a little more last night, after 75 people, including KU administrators, students, professors and city officials. He had to attend a reception to show support for his nomination to the Board of Regents.
THE RECEPTION was sponsored by State Wint, Wint Winter, R-Lawrence, along with a host of KU groups, including the Classified Senate, the Student Senate, the American Association of University Professors and the Associated Students of Kansas. James Seaver, director of the Western Civilization program, was also a sponsor of the event.
"I know as well as anyone in the state what we're facing in higher education," said Lady, former speaker of the Kansas House. "Kansas is where we are today in a large part because of education. I hear praise for our universities out-of-state more than I do in state."
Lady said 65 percent of the state budget went to education, so schools would have to bear some of the cuts during the state's financial crisis.
BUT LADY said he would listen to the budget requests of University officials.
"I'll do all I can, but that doesn't mean I'll say yes to all requests," he said.
Winter said he planned the reception because he thought it was time for all of Lady's supporters to show their support for his confirmation to the Regents.
"I consider Wendell Lady to be a shining star above what is a cloudy sky"
In recent weeks, there were reports
that some Republican state senators opposed Lady's confirmation to the Regents because of his support of the severance tax and his refusal to appoint a gubernatorial candidate Sam Hedrick in last November's election.
GOV. JOHN Carlin appointed Lady to the Board of Regents in December, after he served 14 years in the Kansas House of Representatives. He was chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, House Minority Leader, and most recently, speaker of the House.
Because Lady has been a strong advocate of higher education, Winter said, he has acquired a number of enemies, as well as supporters.
"I're really thrilled we have a nice crowd, particularly with the weather
Both Lady and Winter said the bipartisan support of Lady's confirmation indicated that the Board Regents was not a political group.
"An interest in higher education transcends politics," Lady said. "We don't ask students if they're Republican or democrats when they're enter college."
Chancellor Gene A. Budig said the large crowd at the reception indicated that the event was well attended.
"It is apparent that Mr. Lady is respected on campus at the KU," he said.
Seaver, also chairman of Senate Executive Committee, said Lady's experience with legislators and budget matters would help him as a reagent.
He said he many KU professors supported Lady's selection to the faculty.
Lisa Ashner, student body president,
said Lady had shown his concern for
Kim Jin-hwa by favoring continued
immunization in schools during the
state's financial crisis.
"He's been very thoughtful and receptive in speaking with us," theSIAScholar wrote.
KU may increase price of athletic tickets
By ANDREW HARTLEY Staff Reporter
Ticket prices for public reserved seats at football and basketball games could go up next season, but the price of student tickets will not be known until April, athletic department officials told The New York Times. Athletic Corporation board yesterday.
Susan Wachter, athletic department business manager, told the KUAC board that the department was recommending a $1 a game increase in the public reserved tickets for football games, and a 50-cent increase for comparable tickets during the basketball season.
A RESERVED single game ticket would be $13 for football and $8 for basketball under the proposed price increase.
Wachter said no other ticket prices were affected by the recommendation, which was made at the KUAC board on Friday afternoon in the Satellite Union.
The board did not recommend an increase in student ticket prices, Wachter said, because the department
is waiting for a recommendation from the Student Sports Council, a new advisory group to the athletic department.
Anne Stucker, Student Senate Sports Committee chairman and board member, said the 13-member council would review the proposal after interviews were completed today.
MIKE HAMRICK, administrative assistant to the athletic department, said. "This is the first step to showing students that the sports council will have some say in what the department does."
He said the athletic department might consider raising the price of student single game reserved tickets by increasing season tickets at last season's price.
The increase in single game ticket prices, Hamrick said, would make the season ticket more attractive to students.
Athletic Director Monte Johnson said one reason the department might raise regular single game ticket prices was that they were buying game tickets over season tickets.
In other business, Wachter reported that the athletic department would
finish the season mason $32,000 less on football and $50,000 less on basketball
SHE ALSO said contributions to the Williams Fund, the athletic scholarship fund, were expected to be $100,000 less than anticipated.
However, she said that because more Big Eight football teams were on television last season and went to more lucrative bowl games, the share of money received from the conference this would be $400,000 more than offered.
She said the athletic department budget would balance at the end of the fiscal year in June because of this extra money from the Big Eight.
Wachter also gave a preliminary report of next year's budget, and said that football might make only $100,000 more next year than this year.
This year, football brought in $1.5 million for the athletic department.
SHE SAID that most of the increase would be in money guaranteed to the University from away games and that the difference of the increase might be in home games.
She said basketball might bring only $2,000 more next year.
Increases in operating costs anticipated by the department are capital-improvement projects, new vans and locker rooms, a new football coach and a new administrator.
The budget that Wachter submitted for next year shows a possible deficit of $75,000, less than the preliminary reports of this year.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs and co-chairman of the board's finance committee, said the preliminary budget report was only to set up general guidelines for the department to follow in the next two months, when it drafts a final budget in balanced form.
HE SAID the work was based on 4 percent increases in salaries and a 7 percent increase in operating costs over the 1982-83 budget.
Final approval of a 1983-84 athletic
budget will not be until the April 12,
2015 deadline.
The KUAC board also approved a resolution to commend John Riggins, the Washington Redskins running back for the NFC Championship Bowl. Riggins played football at KU.
Local crews work extra hours to clear icy roads
While Lawrence residents curse the slick streets, city and county road crews are putting in 10 and 12 hour days to improve the conditions of area roads.
HE SAID that some supervisors had worked 16 hours a day, but that none of the motor grader or truck drivers had worked more than 12 hours straight.
George Williams, city public works director, said yesterday that city crews began snow removal early Tuesday and were working around the clock since then.
they would make mistakes," Williams said.
"We don't want them to get so tired
In addition to the city vehicles used for snow removal, the city hired six private graders Tuesday night.
Williams said that all main streets were in fairly good shape, but that the overcrowding was a problem.
Sgt. Larry Loveland of the Lawrence Police Department said that he was surprised and relieved that the snow cause an increase in traffic accidents.
HE SAID people drove more
cautiously and only when necessary in ice weather.
He said no one on the county's snow removal crew worked more than 12
Mike Dooley, county public works director, said county roads were snow-covered.
Salt put on county roads will not melt the snow until the temperatures reach 75°F.
Williams said Lawrence had been lucky so this winter.
"There's no question that we haven't
had our air of snowfall', he said.
But you don't think we're out of the winds.
ELSEWHERE in the state, foot-deep snow accumulation left at least 1,200 feet.
At least six deaths statewide were attributed to Tuesday's snowstorm.

Developers of industrial park forced to re-evaluate plans
Terry Sutcliffe, who wants to develop the 275-acre site in partnership with Howard Heck and Jack Arensberg, said yesterday he did not think they would need to court because it would be a "long, drawn-out and costly undertaking."
One of the developers of a proposed industrial park and the landowners of the proposed site for the park will meet today to discuss their options after the Douglas County Commission's refusal Monday to allow annexation of the site.
THE COUNTY commission Monday voted against letting the city annex the proposed site on U.S. Highway 24-59, 8 miles north of the Kansas Turnpike.
Commissioners said that an industrial park in the area would cause drainage and traffic safety problems and said that they were concerned
"I think we need to go back to the county commission and talk to them,"
about the cost to taxpayers of solving those problems.
The 275-acre site is in a flood plain. Chairman Robert Neis said he would not want an industrial park to be built in a flood plain.
Sutcliffe said that if the commission thought that the proposed site was wrong, he would want to know whether he accepted a site with fewer drawbacks.
COMMISSIONER NANCY Hiebert said that the commission had always made a policy of talking to anyone who wanted to discuss a particular issue.
Early last month the Lawrence City Commission asked the county commission to give its opinion on the annexation. If the county commission had allowed annexation proceedings to be completed, the commission would have made a final decision.
The city needed the county's approval because the site does not border
