Page 8 University Daily Kansan. January 19. 1983 1 State budget good bad for Med Center By MICHAEL BECK Staff Reporter University of Kansas Medical Center officials yesterday welcomed Gov. John Carlin's proposed budget because it included funding for an incinerator that would dispose of low-level radioactive wastes now sitting in 50 gallon drums outside the Med Center. However, they also criticized the budget for its deletion of funds for a state-financed medical scholarship program. Gerald Imming, director of facilities planning at the Med Center, said that six months of radioactive waste had accumulated because of lack of transportation funding and that the incri- bionary clinic eliminate such hazards in the future. He said that highly volatile radioactive wastes from research projects were usually sent to dump sites in Wichita and near Eudora, but that the Environmental Protection Agency had closed these sites. Now, the nearest site to dump the wastes is in North Carolina. THE $380,000 funding for the incarcerator is to come from the educational agency. Imming said that the new system would pay for itself in about two years and that it would take from 12 to 18 months to complete the incinerator. The incinerator, which would burn wastes at 2,000 degrees, is burned by the EPA and is widely used in hospitals across the country, he said. Also in the budget proposal is the elimination of a scholarship designed to help students and people in areas of Kansas that have a shortage of doctors. Robert Campbell, vice president for medical affairs of the Kansas University Endowment Association, said the program paid tuition for students who agreed to practice in Kansas after graduation. "CERTAINLY WE'RE sorry to see it go." Campbell said. "Now we're forced to take up most of the burden, and we don't have the resources to do that." Frank Fiedler, director of student aid for the College of Health and Sciences, said the program awarded $8,660 to students who agreed to go to a specific school. The program awarded $8,660 to students who agreed to practice anywhere in the state. FIELDLER SAID other forms of financial aid were available for students who needed it. During the 1881 session of the Kansas Legislature, several legislators tried to eliminate the scholarship program. Last year the program was limited to 100 scholarships a year. When the program began in 1912, it was not limited. He said that the program had given out more than $4 million a year since July 1978 and that 2,154 students had participated. “In fact, I couldn’t give away all the scholarship money I had last year,” he In, in Carlin's proposals was $116,233,241 for the Med Center's general use fund, a 3.3 percent increase. Hospital administrator Eugene Staples said he was disappointed because the department was not ready. KU sports council to be selected soon By ANDREW HARTLEY Staff Reporter Interviews for the five at-large positions on the KU Student Sports Council, a new advisory committee to the department of athletics, will start Monday, its organizers said yesterday. Mike Hamrick, administrative assistant to the athletic department, said the deadline for securing an appointment in interview was Pri- The athletic department has signed up 16 students for interviews, which will be conducted by Hammick and the student Senate Sports Committee. Hamrick said students would be asked to fill out an application and to list some ideas they think would increase attendance and make home football and basketball games more exciting. STUCKER SAID the most impor tant qualities in prospective members were creativity and time, not any particular stance on issues. Hamrick said the 18-member council would help advise the athletic department and promote student interest. "Until now, the students never had a voice in student athletics," he said. members, an athlete and one member each from the Interfraternity Council, the Panhellenic Association, Student Senate, the Senate Sports Committee, the Association of University Residence Halls, the All Scholarship Hall Council and the Graduate Student Council. HAMRICK SAID the council format was used at several other Big Eight Schools. The council could become a position of prestige, he said, although he could not say whether the students on the council would enjoy any special privileges.
