While space problems and enrollment trends are similar to success in the past, structural structures is a constant problem and has been affected by budget
In reference to an 8 per cent decrease in the 1971 freshman population, we increase in enrolment in the junior colleges and the economic situation affected our freshman students. We also add to these factors. KU must endeavor to improve its relations with the image of the University.
Vice-chancellor Keith Nethner said that building maintenance is restricted because of underfunding. The budget for maintenance of buildings this outback of $3,000 from last year
Nitcher said, "Our endeavors in maintaining the facilities have been greatly hampered and our residual backlog amounts to more than $10 million." "backlog" includes repairing floors, improving lighting and other routine but essential maintenance. Matters are complicated even further by a bureaucrat rate among employees."
Currently each maintenance man is responsible for 25,000 square feet. National average is approximately 12,000 sq. ft. per man. Nicher claims that the only reason a building would be in increase in funding.

"Unfortunately that reputation can be lost almost over night," Wunsch said. Possibly not one isolated event, but certainly one of the most important such as those emerging in Kakasan unless Kasansa turns around in its support of higher education and again starts back up the path of progress, we stand the chance of success, which took years to build."

Budget . . .
"Except for the classified employees at Kansas State College of Pittsburgh and those at the University of Kansas Medical Center, no employee has received an increase in salary since November 1970. On the other hand, all other classified employees of the state, except those of the department of social welfare, received a one-time $300 million payment."
In reviewing the recommen-
tionation bushfits Wunsch noted that
where increases have been
provided, such as a higher increase for faculty, they have been provided by cannibalizing our own
For instance, this increase has been funded by corresponding department as continuing education, extension and research. Wunch
Bibb is recommending to Docking a total budget for the six state institutions for the fiscal year 1973 for $151.55 million. In comparison, expenditures in the current fiscal year were $858.18 million, and estimated expenditures for the current fiscal year of $167.4 million.
Last year, Bibb recommended a budget of $170.73 million to Docking for the six institutions. The regents had approved budget recommendations.
"CERTAINLY IN THE SPIRIT of fair play and to be honest with those employees, monies should be restored in our budgets to place all state classified employees on equal basis," the chairman said.
"IS THIS IN effect a planned and selective process of closing out functions and services?" Wunsch asked.
Bibb replied that that was not true.
"I know the economy could at least be 'acceleration,' Wunsch said. "Hunsch believes the economy is at the point where we need to pursue the drastic course of action." The present recommendations."
Wunsch made a strong appeal for reinstatement of requested raises for classified employees, so they were being treated unfairly.
Bibb, then, is recommending $15.85 million less than the six schools expect to spend in the current fiscal year, and $18.31 million below what was actually constituted in institutions in the fiscal year 1971.
WUNCH ALSO SAID that corresponding to the decline in support for higher education, they began an increase in the percentage of educational costs being paid by student fees. Until about five years ago, the Board of Regents was date to the Board of Regents was maintained at a level producing funds which student fees be maintained per cent of the educational costs.
About five years ago, this was increased to 25 per cent by the new state funding, he said, showed that the percentage of the educational cost being paid by client fees approached 30 per cent.
"While our budgets have increased, it is obvious that we are now more than their fair share of these increase in salaries. We响应 SHOWN reductions.

This year's education and operating budget for the university will be spent in spring, the regents asked that the funding of Kansas be given a $4.75 million grant.
Presently, the University is receiving $2,569.96 from the state's general revenue fund. The regents requested $2,838.619 for the coming term. Bibb is in support of the state spend $2,909.702.

HE IS ALSO recommending that the University be permitted to hire 11 new faculty members. The University had asked for 40.
Bibb has recommended $67,588 of a requested $233,142 in funds for current year, complying with the requests money to finance increased Social Security costs and an unemployment compensation
BIBB IS ALSO suggesting a faculty salary increase of only 2 per cent, and a classified salary increase of 10 per cent at the University of Kansas.
Bibb has totally cut requests for $285,544 in other operating expenses for the university. Defense Student Loans; $10,000 for joint computer science research projects; $10,000 for State University; $11,003 for administering a new unemployment compensation program and providing computing support; $220,000 for special repairs and maintenance improvements for capital improvements.
Bibb denied a request to increase the per-student level of funding above the present $185.

To accomplish these ends, Woodson would like to see the probation officers increasing not only the number of probation officers, but also the number of cases.
Second, he thinks it would cut down the crime rate by cutting the number of people in Woodson thinks it would eventually cut costs by lowering the crime rate.
"THIS IS REALLY going to take community involvement," she said. "We need a natural thing, when a guy commits a crime here, he goes out of the community and the people want to show him off to the penitentiary."
"It's very time consuming." Woodson said, "it's very expensive for us to furnish reports to everybody who comes along. And bankrupt this office trying to furnish copies of these reports."
There are many reform groups in Kansas. Woodson would like to see them coordinate their activities.
Woodson intends to do everything he can to keep the reform groups active and well informed.
"These people want to help the
system," Woodson said. "We're all after the same thing: to improve the Kansas penal system.
"THEY (REFORM GROUPS) have to understand our problems if they are going to intelligently tack the programs for the system."
While reforms will help, much of the rehabilitation process still hinges on the prisoner's motivation.
According to Atkins, some of the prisoners cannot even read and write. Eight weeks ago, the State Penitentiary at Lansing instituted a program to teach 17 of the inmates there to read and write. Four months ago they refused to come out of their cells. Atkins said that the other prisoners had tamed them to the point that they could not read or write.
The prisoners were brought before the warden and told that unless they attended class, they would not be permitted to attend classes the prisoners agreed. They weren't required to learn, just to attend.

A year and a half ago, Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers, Jr. created a public relations office for the University of Kansas. Elements of the office existed before he recruited John Conard, a western Kansas newspaper. The office has changed since then.
"The name of the office is the Office of University Relations and Development." Conard explained, in a recent interview, that many activities involved in the proper financing of the university, especially in the private sector. My work in that area is done primarily in cooperation with the University Libraries and the Alumni Association. These are the principal arms of this University in dealing with the sources of funds to keep the operation going and to improve
Conard explained that the Alumni Association did most of the contacting of legislative members that was done between 85810.
"MY CONTACTS with the legislature come only at the request of members. When they come to me and ask for information, I provide it, but I take very little initiative in contacting them. When they come to state payroll, it's in a way improper for me to make direct overtures to members of the legislature or to the governor or
Conard explained that the state of Kansas was the largest source of solar energy in the country, although not the sole source. It provides about 45 per cent of the total budget of the University through tax funds that are apportioned to the state.
However, the alumni association, being a completely separate and independent corp., initiates in that area—and does

"Externally we deal with press, radio and TV, and to some extent with members of the (Kansas) legislature, and in particular in law, C and with individual citizens who make general inquiries."
The news bureau is an active part of university relations and external news sources. It provides internal and external news sources. The Photo and Graphic Arts office of Conard's office, previously to all parts of the university.
"We also publish the faculty newsletter, which is our principal instrument for internal communication with the administration and the faculty."
The newsletter is published once a week and is distributed to every faculty member and staff. Conard said.
"OUR OFFICE also works closely with people from the (University of Kansas) Kansan This week," he said, with the student body," he said.
KU has 100 per cent news coverage over the state as a result of the releases, tapes and audio from broadcasts and publications are done free of charge because the university does not have money to pay for these services. They do so by using copies they can be used again.
The office has recently become involved with television broadcasting and they have tried not to do so but producing here. Their greatest function is to uncover stories for TV and then convince the stations to take action. A recent radio analysis reported that 32 of 62 AM radio stations had a regular five minute report from the KU medical center. Another 15 minute program, Kansas 15 minute Review, was being used by them.
THIS MONTH the Kansas Press Association is doing a new release of University Tiny. They will clip every reference to KU whether it is in a news release from University Tiny or in the newspaper's own initiative. This will enable University Relations services are being used. No
previous statewide clipping has been done.
Conard's contributions to the office are supported by impressions received his B.A. degree in journalism and his M.A. in political science from KU. In 1975, he received of international law in Paris.
Conard has been editor and publisher of various Kansas newspaper and the Kansas House. Representatives and was speaker of the House in 1967-68. In the house, he served as chairman of the Republican group for six years. In 1968 he won the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor but lost to Democrat James margin to Democrat James DeCourcase, making that race one of the closest in the state's
CONARD SAID his experiences have helped him in his job as the No.1 public relations man for the New York City House has helped in giving the University more rapport with legislators because he's worked with many of them on political and personal bases.
"All of the senior members—and that means all of them—with whom I've worked personally," Conard said. "They feel free to talk to me about matters affecting the staff, and they call, some letters and much personal conversation in team meetings when I am in Toppea meeting with the various committees concerned with University af-

" conditions have improved since I came but I certainly can't take a large amount of credit for the sale. I think there has been some improvement since I arrived, mainly through the efforts of the chancellor, his vice-chancellors and the faculty. Many responsible students have received a course in conditions on campus. If I were to give credit to any one group, it would be to the students because they are the ones who somehow acquired a feeling of wanting to continue and improve the university."
"I think tradition is here now and always has been. Even the Bible respect for tradition was still with us. It is a human characteristic."
tradition—something that has always been a human characteristic.
"Perhaps there is a little more interest, now in the more space-themed homecoming decorations and the football demonstrations. I think it would be good."
"Really the trend is a continuation of greater student involvement in the more serious courses," it said. "Is it properly financed? Is it going to be able to maintain the program that was built up over the last century?"
"We didn't acquire our present acuity in a couple of years. We went to college and then had a century KU has attempted o be a great university. It has ried to draw the best men in the world as it could with its resources."
"STUDENTS in recent years have become much more con-
servative than they used to just about people their own age. "Conard said." They have a greater concern for others--in fact, they are the generation had man. My generation con-
served that education should be required to find a job and provide the basics of food, clothing and shelter ourselves and we the whole world."
"Now that is a much lesser consideration of the personal desire to serve one and one's own family and to secure within that family. The students, probably because the entire nation,
worry quite so much about that, they worry quite so much about that, they worry quite so much about that, they have applied their great feelings as to what is essential to their fellowmen," he added.

They are concerned about justice and social justice in this country. The lack of racial conflict has been with us as long as this country has existed, and the poverty—all of these things are of genuine concern to today's people.
"This is the trend that is here and on many campuses."
