Land Grant Suit a Threat to KU
Bv MIKE BAUER
Kansan Staff Writer
If a $750 million suit against the grant and college grants is successful, the university cannot be not a land grant college, could be affected indirectly, according to the law.
The land grant suit was filed several weeks ago in Washington, D.C. by 12 individuals and five organizations including Francis Killian of Wamogo against the U.S. Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and HEW. The group said the 70 land grant colleges were working for big business and not the small farmer.
If successful, the suit would affect directly five of the Big Eight schools—Nebraska, Kansas State, Iowa State, Purdue, and Wisconsin, which all are land grant colleges. AS FAR AS KU is concerned, Tom Yoe, director of information, said, "The direct factor is negligible, indirectly that you be considerable percussion."
"Should the federal programs be canceled many things that are funded under the land grant program," said Mary B. Assumed by the state, "Yoe said.
The land grant colleges. established by the Morrill Act of 1852 to establish a university to carry out agricultural research and rural extension work.
Yoe said that $4 to $5 million in federal aid that Kansas State received would increase funding to increase funding to K-State, thus reducing funding for KU.

Snyder said that KU and KSA worked together on some projects in the Water Institute. More than 20 projects are funded by KU, he said.
FLOYD SMITH, director of the agriculture experiment station at the Cairn Valley farm, gives the details or the nature of the sun but the allegation that land was not being cultivated is business firms instead of the small farmer did not apply to K-1.
Smith said K-State has been working for the farmer through the 12 regional experimental and the county extension program.
The experimental stations around the state test crops and are growing methods. Smith said the stations helped the farmers in the region.
Smith said K-State accepted grants from large agribusiness concerns.
"We adhere to a policy that says such grants must deal with the agriculture of Kansas. Our foundation has not profited from the research, and the industries involved in it only a minor way," he said.
SMITH SAID all research grants were approved by the Kansas State Board of Regents

He said his group had several proposals to utilize the money but he would not elaborate.
MARVIN ANDERSON, dean of the School of Agriculture at Iowa State University said that Iowa has a strong relationship than the other Big Eight landgrant colleges because Iowa's primary industry was agriculture.
Iowa State also accepts grants from private agribusiness concerns.
Anderson said, "We ask each student to explain what research will be used, and then we spell out the procedure and how we are going to handle the data."
Both Iowa State and K-State administrators said that the land grant funds and the private funds were kept separately.
The land grant suit is based on a report by the Agribusiness Accountability Project entitled "Hard Tomatoes. Hard Times."
Anderson said the college used part of their federal land grant to build the facility, and part of removing air in the processing of bacon. Anderson said the goal was to move it to another location.
