Finance and Auditing Committee To Recommend Activity Fee Poll
By MARY WARD Kansas Staff Writer
The Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee decided Thursday night to recommend that a poll on student activity fees be sent to the student body.
Dave Miller, student body president,
proposed the poll Sept. 15 at a Senate
The committee decided to recommend that the Senate not give $600 to the Gay Liberation Front to support its court battle against the university. The committee also requested a student organization.
MILLER SAID "I am more concerned
with the method of funding than the
diagram."
If approved by the Senate Miller's proposed ballot will enable students to indicate how they think student activity fees should be funded and the amount students should be assessed each year for student activities.
In his opinion the Student Senate should continue to allocate the money. However, he thinks students should decide the method in which activities are funded.
The ballot or opinion poll allows the students to choose three of eight options. Miller said this type of preference voting would give the Senate a broad enough basis to work from when determining how students should be assessed for activities.
Miller said activity fund allocations fall into three broad categories. These three categories are the Student Senate and the Kansan which cost about $100,000, admission events such as athletic events, postgraduation ceremonies and which cost approximately $200,000; and student organizations, which cost about $100,000.
THE PROPOSED BALLOT gives students the opportunity to express their opinions on whether groups should be funded by student activity fees, a special student activity ticket or not funded by students' fees. The ballot also gives students the chance to say which of these three broad categories should be funded.
For this reason he suggested that the form of the ballot be changed. Instead of asking students to state their preferences from the eight options, he said certain questions should be asked. The ballot would ask whether the student wanted to participate in athletic events. The Kansas student organizations with student activity fees.
R. L. "Puff" Bailey, Aitchison graduate student, said he was "basically in favor of the idea behind the bill." He suggested that the Senate should be a statement of the reason for the ballot. Bailey said he wanted it made clear that this was not a vote that the Student Senate must approve, but rather a way to get students to want to invest in regard to student activity fees.
These kinds of questions should have yes or no answers according to Bailey, and the answers students give to these questions would enable Student Senators to better determine the manner in which student activities should be funded.
IT WAS SUGGESTED that a questionnaire such as described by Bailey be sent with the original ballot. The problem with this is that it would be possible for the two ballots to come up with opposing results.
The committee decided to recommend that the Student Senate pass an amendment to Miller's proposal at its next meeting. The amendment does not change the content of the bill but would allow for an examination of each option.
The committee also studied the Gay Liberation Front's request for $600.
David Dillon, Hutchinson junior, had talked to the lawyer for the front. He said that the $800 would easily cover the legal expenses but was not enough to cover the food and travel expenses for William Eckert, a local court judge in front in court. The lawyer believed Kuntlser's appearance would have no affect on the case.
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE had raised questions concerning the legality of using Student Senate money to fund action taken against the University, the Chancellor and the Board of Regents. They were also concerned that since the money Business office there could be a problem obtaining it.
Some felt that the Student Senate would not have recommended money to legally fight the University if a less controversial group had been involved. It was said that the Senate had not dealt with the legal implications involved.
It was the opinion of the some of the members of the committee that since such a case could be a landmark and have implications throughout the region, KU students should not have to pay for it. It was suggested that the cost be paid by similar groups in this region and throughout the country.

Atty. Gen. Vern Miller early this morning led a lecture of about 80 law enforcement officers and arrested 17 persons, including 11 KU students in Law School.
Miller said he had 21 warrants for arrest and six search warrants issued by Douglas County Court Judge Charles C. Rankin in preparation for raids.
None of the raiding was conducted on University property, Miller said, and University officials were not notified of the raid. However, Mike Thomas, director of traffic and security at KU, that he was notified by phone early Thursday evening. He said 12 of his men were used because campus police are sworn Douglas County
Law enforcement officials from Douglas County Sheriff's office, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, Lawrence Police Department, Shawnee County Sheriff's office and agents from the Atty. Gen. office took part in the raid. Miller said that
all of the officers taking part had volunteered to do so.
Douglas County Sheriff Reyx Johnson said all the employees of his office were
Some newsmen accompanied Miller on the raid, and a reporter from United Press International said that Miller tipped him off Thursday that there was to be a raid today. The Kansas was not among those papers notified of the raid.
On the basis of a rumor circulating last night, the Kanan contacted the Lawrence Police Department, Douglas County Sheriff's office and the KU Traffic and Security office to find out if a raid was pending.
Offices in the sheriff's office and traffic and security said that they knew nothing of a raid. Police department officials said that they didn't know anything about a raid, and if they did they couldn't inform the Korean
The attorney general said that the officers did not get the quantity of drugs that they had expected to confiscate. He said that raids conducted yesterday in Baltimore had probably tipped Lawrence drug users off to the possibility of a raid today.

In a question-and-answer session, the President said the country would return to a free economy as soon as possible, but not until it had been effectively dealt with. He said:
"Until then, we feel it is necessary to have controls backed up by beech, made
THE PHASE TWO controls will be announced well before the current freeze elapses on Nov. 13, Nixon said. They will be effective on the whole economy, but primarily, he said, on major industries whose price and wage decisions have the greatest influence on the rest of the economy.
"But there is no limit on the duration," he said of the second phase, "because its duration should depend on how effectively it deals with the problems."

Asked if he was happy with the results of the raid, Miller said, "I'm never happy when we have to have a raid. It is a necessary function of law enforcement. I might say, however, that I am gratified that the raid has been fairly successful."
He said the officers met at Broken

Legislators Come to KU, Hear About Budget Woes
By GAYLE TRIGG Kansan Staff Writer
KU students, faculty and administrators told the Kansas Legislature's subcommittee on higher education Thursday that they feared a mass exodus of faculty if the legislature didn't increase salaries.
Barkley Clark, associate professor of law, told the committee that he could name one half or more of the law school's students who had knowledge KU if the fardis did not come through.
"No salary increase is approved again this year." "Gark said, "it would be a clear statement by the people of Kansas and the nation," the issue is not high on their list of priorities."
Beverle Anderson, assistant professor of business, said that this year most people would prefer teaching, "Although many would prefer teaching," she said, "money would eventually become the issue," and in the business school, as in others, faculty are being trained.
Eight faculty members said that people had not begun to leave KU because of the tight money situation and the competitive academic job market. They also said the legislature did not determine the budget for the university, universities had stopped hiring for fall.
"At least 25 per cent of the business faculty would at least try to leave," she said.
Asked by the committee what it would take to reverse the thinking of the faculty, a staff member from the school's math department.
physiology, said that "even a standard-of-living increment is very little added to the low-based salary of a young faculty member.
"The relative freedom at KU, is the only thing that will keep people here for another year. But now, not only does the teacher have an empty wallet, so does the University."
Faculty members said KU had a working system of communication, a good balance between faculty with strong academic and professional backgrounds, innovative programs, continual faculty training, and channels to register teacher grievances.
Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. gave the five legislators on the committee a copy of an appendix to the University's bulletin, which is given to the Board of Regents this summer.
"Meanwhile," Quadagno said, "We make the oest or what we have, grumble, and keep trying to get more, not for ourselves, but for the students—we love teaching so no one complains much, but students suffer."
Also during the wrap-up session, administrators respeted to questions concerning the efforts of state schools to build a curriculum that overlaps. The administration was asked to outline what efforts were being made at KU to utilize more of the available resources.
Reece Hughes, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, reminded Chalmers that all state-supported groups were presenting valid programs to be
financed.
"We are caught between the taxpayers' mail signals and valid programs that are unrelated."
Chalmers replied that year by year support to higher education as related to the other state functions had declined. He asked if this were the legislature's intent.
Chalmers asked what groups were picking up the support higher education has lost. He said that KU had also been receiving less and less of its educational operating income from the legislature and making it difficult for sources to be applied to areas in the jurisdiction of the legislature through the general operating budget.
Prior to the meeting with the faculty members, the legislators met with the administration and the faculty members of the Senate Executive Committee.
The five committee members are all for higher education, Ray Vaughn, chairman of the House Education Committee said. He wants to get the facts to back up our views."
The committee had luncheon with a group of eight students to get acquainted and to open the door for later meetings. Those attending were the president, David Miller and Molly Lafflin; three student members of SenEx, Brad Smoot, George Laugheed and Susan White; the president of the Commission on Business, Billy Leefel, and the chairman of the Student Executive Committee, R.L. "Puff" Bailey.
