K-State action threatens ASK
By MICHAEL ROBINSON Staff Reporter
EMPORIA—Threatened with a pullout by Kansas State University, the Associated Students of Kansas Saturday created a committee to look into restructuring ASK and its ties with a national sundent lobby group.
K-State's Student Government Association Finance Committee last week recommended that K-State pay only 30 cents a student in ASK fees, instead of the 40 cents approved by the other ASK schools.
In a meeting here of the ASK Board of Directors, the board also voted not to spend any more staff time or money on the United States Student Association, the national lobby group of which ASK is a member.
HOWEVER, AFTER talking with SAG officials last week, Bob Bingaman, ASK executive director, said he thought the chances that the 40-cent rate would pass the full SGA Student Senate this week were good.
"From all reports, I think we'll get it passed." he said.
Because the other schools had already passed the 40-cent rate, the K-State Student Senate would effectively approve the 39-cent recommendation by passing the 39-cent recommendation.
Dan Cunningham, KU's AKS campus director, said last week that the K-State pullout would place a larger financial burden in KU's eventual withdrawal from ASK.
SGA officials at K-State last week that they felt ASK was not getting enough input from the students' electives, the student body presidents.
The ASK board members are not elected, but are appointed by the student body president from each ASK school.
Bingaman recommended that the committee be created because there were still concerns that the stands taken by the ASK board were different from stands taken by the Student Admission Committee to the Board of Regents
The advisory committee is made up of the student body presidents of the Regents schools.
THE ASK SCHOOLS are KU, K-State, Emporia State University, Fort Hays

Bingaman said that he and Angel Scanlon, K-State's student body president, had come up with several proposals designed to "make ASK more responsive to the student governments."
The committee, which will include both members of the advisory committee and members of the ASK board, has also been charged with looking into ASK's involvement with the United States Student Association.
The board voted to freeze any ASK activities dealing with USSA until after the report because of requests that must be taken immediately on the issue.
MARIA MCDUOGAL, KU'S ASK board member, objected to the USSA issue being deferred to the committee and should make a statement about the matter.

McDougall said that some KU Student Senate officials including Cunningham and Bert Coleman, student body leaders in the university to take a definite stand on the issue.
"The they want some idea, a clear-cut stand, on ASK's position on USSA," she said. "It seems to me that every time I go in there, I don't need to discuss it until a later time."
Neither Coleman nor Cunningham were present for the discussion.
The main criticisms of USSA were that it was deeply in debt and that it had been accused of loaningrained money from the organization and took away USSA's credibility, she said.
"They feel that USSA doesn't student of Kanaan," McGauld said.
KU law students can walk out of Green Hall with a lot more than a law degree if they don't mind a little extra work.
Bingam agreed that a statement should be made soon, but said the board had not looked into the issue enough to make a statement immediately.
Joint degrees aid legal studies
"We wee it to KU to put together a good policy," Bingaman said.
The KU School of Law offers a joint degree program that enables law students to get both a law degree and a master's degree in business, public administration, economics or urban planning.
"It's economical in time and money to take cross credits," Fred Lovitch, associate dean of the law school, said last week.
Students must meet the qualifications of both the law school and the school in which they choose to get their master's under the program's requirements.
Lovitch said students had different reasons for participating in the joint degree program. Students can be divided into three categories.
Students in the program include law students who want to know more about one of the areas. Others plan to go into business, economics, public administration or urban planning, and want to have a thorough knowledge of law.
There are also students who simply haven't decided whether to pursue a law career or go into another field, Lovitch said.
This year there are 38 students enrolled for a joint degree in law and business, six in economics, seven in administration and one in urban planning.
"The value of the program is not on the quantity of students we have, but whether we're fulfilling individuals' needs," he said.
Of the 579 law students currently enrolled, 52 students are participating in the joint decree program this year.
Lois Winkelman, the law school's registrar, said the M.B.A. degree was the oldest joint program and the urban planning degree was the newest. The M.B.A. degree was started in the late '60s, the M.A. in economics and M.P.A. in 1974, and the urban planning degree last year.

Making his point
Former vice president Walter F. Mondale makes a point during a Democratic fund-raiser held Friday for Gov. John Carlin's re-election campaign. Mondale criticized President Reagan's economic program, saying people do not have faith in the President. Mondale helped the Democrats raise almost $130,000, a record amount for any Democratic fund-raising event held in the state.
