Must pay for materials once given free Students displeased

A student trudges out of the Kansas Union book store the day before classes start, hugging two plastic bags bulging with books. He has finished buying class materials for the semester. Or he hides them.
THE PRACTICE, which began last semester when budget reductions forced many departments to charge students for class materials, is even more common this semester, students and faculty said yesterday.
In many classes this semester, professors will spruce an unwelcome surprise on students by asking them to pay for syllabi and other copied material that departments used to provide free.
Jim Cramer, student body vice president, said the Student Senate wanted to form a committee to work on raising surprise voluntary fees from classes.
The committee would be allowed to work on the budget with the dean of
each school in the University. A student from each school would serve on the committee.
Robert Walker, Kansas City, Mo.
sophomore, said he had paid at least two instructors for class materials he
wrote. The fees租费 from £1 to £5 be paid.
"It itseems like these costs are sort of under the table," Walker said. "You never know when you need to get hit with them. And for a student on a Fund, five dollars is a lot of money." A professor NO.1 chairman of the geology department, said he though the extra costs were common this semester.
Professors in the geology department and other departments have been forced to ask students to pay for some class materials, he said, although they have not required students to pay for the materials if they do not want to.
"I wave a paper or whatever in front of them and say, "This would be very useful to your studies,"." Angino said.
If the student wants a copy, he can go to the department or to the library.
with 'surprise' fees
He said some of his students had refused to pay for copying the materi-
But an intelligent student should do well in his class regardless of whether he is a math or science major.
ROBERT COBB, executive vice chancellor, said faculty members could only ask, not require, students to pay extra fees for materials.
Any required fee must be approved in advance by the Board of Regents, he
Cobb said that professors should not ask students to pay them directly for class materials.
Any payment should be made to the department, he said.
Clifford Ketzel, professor of political science, said he regularly asked students to pay for materials he had copied as part of the required reading for his classes.
"I've been doing it for years," he said.
Ketzel said his concern about the high costs of textbooks for students, not
departmental budget reductions, had prompted him to copy some materials.
IN ONE CLASS, Ketzel said, he requires students to buy a book that costs $7 and photocopied-materials that cost $3.
Ketzel said he knew of no policy within the department of political science that regulated student payment for non-textbook materials.
"Ten dollars for one class. I think that's substantially less than what you'd pay in most classes," he said.
Gerhard Zuther, chairman of the English department, said he had asked instructors of creative writing courses to ask students for $1 or $2 so copies could be made of each student's writing.
Zuther said budget cuts had prompted the request, which was also made last semester.
But he said he did not know whether the instructors of the courses had asked students for the money or, if so, for the students had complied with the request.
Proposed federal cuts for arts would hurt locally
Bv DAVID POWLS
Staff Reporter
A proposed cut in federal arts spending may make federal grants harder to obtain, directors of arts law in Lawrence said earlier this week.
President Reagan's 1984 budget proposal cut federal spending for arts programs by 13 percent, from $144.1 million to $125 million.
Tom Southall, curator of the Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Art, said, "The cutback would make all federal grants harder to come by. The state's tax system is underfunded when you compare it to other states with similar populations."
JOHN REED, executive director of the Kansas Arts Commission, said Kansas ranked 43rd among the 56 states in territories that receive federal money.
The arts commission receives money through the special block and art educa-
tions of the Department of the Arts.
government, including the National Endowment for the Arts, he said.
Last year, with federal and state money combined, the commission gave out $850,000 for music, dance, literary programs and touring programs in Kansas, Reed said.
This year, the University received $13,218 for 12 projects, and 14 other arts programs in Lawrence received $22,607, he said.

"Most of our money is generated locally." Evans said. "We've never been able to get much federal money because of our small size."
SOUTHALL SAID the museum had received $2,500 from the commission this year, which would make it available to other galleries in Kansas.
Reed said the federal cut might affect KU's ability to receive grants.
Christensen said that 40 percent of the journal's budget came from the combined grants of the arts commission, the Graduate Student Council and the Coordinating Council of Little Magazines.
But he said a federal reduction of 13 percent would not greatly reduce the amount of federal money the commission would receive next year.
The journal has a readership between 400 and 500 people, she said.
"If he's only asking for a 13 percent cut, I think our federal funds will remain stable." Reed said. "He tried to get the funds by 50 percent two years ago."
Jacqueline Davis, director of the School of Fine Arts concert series and chamber music series, said six concert series programs had received grants totaling $6,000 from the commission this year.
THE COMMISSION received $300,000 worth of federal grants last year. He

Reed said this year was the first in which the commission received more money from the state than from the federal government.
But that money may be reduced as well, he said, since Gov. John Carlin would provide a percent reduction in state financing the arts in his 1984 proposed budget.
BUT ANNE Evans, spokesman for the Lawrence Arts Center, Ninth and Vermont streets, said she was not worried about the proposed reduction. The department receives only 5 percent of its budget from the arts commission, Evans said.

Also, the National Endowment for
the Arts gave $4,800 for three programs in
the program.
ERLEEN CHRISTENSEN, editor of the Cottonwood Review, a literary journal published by KU graduate students, said reductions in grants could mean "double-jeopardy" for the journal.
"It would affect our ability to publish twice a year, and it would affect other art-related organizations" ability to buy our journal," she said.
"Any cutbacks at the federal level
will also affect regional availability of the grants," Davis said.

JESUS WAS A COACH
A coach is more than a teacher. Teachers work with theories and books. Coaches get into the action, but they can't play the game. They can only inspire, perspire and get the job done. The team is left to produce the results.
Coaches want the best for the team. They must recruit—and have to use what material they get. (Those Jesus got were hardly expected to be superstars—and many names we can't even remember now).
Jesus never had a big contract, even though he accepted an offer that was hard to refuse (and accept). Without a coaches show, he let the team speak for him.
Where he's different from most coaches is that when he died for us, he won. That's why we like playing on his tape.

House committee votes down transfer of meat inspections
By DIANE LUBER Staff Reporter
TOPEKA — Members of the House Agriculture and Livestock committee voted unanimously yesterday to recommend that the state's meat and poultry inspection program be continued.
Gov. John Carlin has proposed that responsibility for inspection of meat and poultry sold within the state be transferred from the state to the federal government. He said the transfer would save the state $1.1 million in fiscal year 1984, which starts July 1.
BECAUSE THE future of the state's meat and poultry inspection program will affect the state budget, the issue will now be considered by the House Ways and Means Committee, which oversees all budget matters.
State Rep. Bill Fuller, R-Miltonvale, chairman of the agriculture committee, said that transfer of meat and poultry inspection to the federal
According to a 1967 federal law, the federal government is responsible for the inspection of meat and poultry sold across state lines. But the law allows inspection of poultry in compliance for inspection of meat and poultry that is sold within its boundaries.
The law also requires that the federal government pay half the cost of a state's meat and poultry inspection program.
government would have been counter productive in the long run.
Meat at those plants is now inspected by the state.
"Going federal would have increased the amount of meat consumed in Kansas that is not inspected," Fuller said.
Custom plants only process meat brought in by a customer for his own consumption. Although the federal government inspects custom plants in states every three months, the meat processed by those plants is not inspected.
Larry Woodson, director of the state's inspection division, said federal regulations exempt from inspection any poultry processing plant that slaughters fewer than 20,000 turkeys or chickens annually.
Fuller said that if plants closed down, the state would lose sales and income and would harm the communities served by the plants would lose jobs and property taxes.

Max Foster, assistant director of the state's inspection division, said a survey two years ago estimated that state-inspected meat processing plants would have to spend $12 million to remodel to meet federal standards.
