That Dykes says has cut back on her social life. "I guess I'm like my father in that I can put in the long hours at work. But he recently visited me and said that you have to take time to rest." He added or 'your son will grow up despite yourself.' Dykes has a wife, Bev, and a seven-month-old son. His wife works in town but has helped run the home. "My wife has been very supportive although she is not closely associated with the farm," he said. "Even though she was raised in New York, she never like to become more a part of the operation." Dykes said he encountered some skepticism about whether a "city boy" with little farming experience could manage a hog farm. "To go along with my inexperience, I was also new to this area, having done my undergraduate work at Rice University (Houston)," he said. "But I looked at the job as a challenge. "At first the neighbors watched me closely to see if I was really interested in farming or just paying lip service to it. Now that they were back home, I must support my family, the skepticism has lessened." Dykes said his lack of farming experience had been an asset. "Sure, if I had gone to K-State and received a degree in animal science, I would have been better equipped for animal husbandry, but at the same time I would have been more immersed in the agricultural part and less aware of what was going on in the city. "It is possible in agriculture to have tunnel vision and become so immersed in the problems of the operation that you can't see the forest for the trees." Dykes said he was concerned with the image of the hog farmer. He is especially aware of the animal rightists' objection to confining hogs in news. A HOG IN CONFINEMENT is kept in an individual pen. The animal doesn't forage for ANOTHER PROBLEM Dykes has encountered is what he calls the "boom-bust mentality," the pessimistic outlook some farmers have about agriculture. food; both the food and water are brought to the animal. Dykes plans to strengthen his roots in farming. "Every farmer thinks his work is a lifelong activity," he said. "I see my experience more as a career. We've managed to grow since I've been here." Dykes and Smart recently purchased a new hog operation a few miles south of Derby Farm. Dykes is also thinking about buying corn and trying his hand at grain production. "I guess my ambition is to create something that I and the people who work with me can be proud of," Dykes said. "Sometimes, I hope my son will become interested in farming and give the operation a family farm atmosphere." The Senate leaders and there was also diatomy between the funding policies of the five com- munities. For example, one committee would allow funding for certain expenditures, such as long distance phone calls, while another committee would not. From page one Budget "Committees have different overall philosophies, Baba said. "Some are fiscally conservative, some are social conservatives." As a result, he said, the budget process was unfair because the amount of money an organization received depended on the committee it was assigned to. Senate leaders said the funding formula used to determine how much of the $2,500 each Bren Abbott, student body president, said the funding formula allocated money to each committee on the basis of the number of members for each committee and the amount of money they requested. because of the formula, committees with groups which asked for the most money, whether or not they needed it, would get more money, Abbott said. Not everyone agreed with this assessment of the budget process. Krupa Billa, co-chairman of the Cultural Affairs Committee acknowledged that the bearings had problems, but said that overall the process was sound. "I am happy with the process," he said. "I am happy with something for the student body and I learned a lot." Miki Gordon, former chairman of the Rights and Finance and Auditing Committees, said the budget process was one of the Senate's best experiences. The differing opinions over the budget process have come to a head in the Senate's budget bill. "I think it interests a lot of people," he said. As a matter of fact, it brings people together and makes them feel more connected. Critics say it would limit the number of students in the budget process by placing more emphasis on performance. They also say it would take away the committees' major function, spending money.
