Grants to continue despite cuts
By PAM ALLOWAY Staff Reporter
Despite cuts in the National Endowment for the Humanities' budget, a KU professor involved in national research fellowship selections said yesterday that history research fellows would not be affected.
William M. Tuttle, professor of hisory, said that he foresaw programmer and media and social receiving the blunt end of the proposed budget cuts.
Media programs, public programming and social history
programs have had a left-wing slant," he said. "The fellowships are very competitive and elite. They don't have the resources or connotations as the other programs."
President Reagan's transition team recommended that the National Endowment for the Humanities' budget be increased, while focusing for research and independent study.
Tuttle has been on NEH panels since 1976. This is his first year on the NEH fellowship advisory panel. Panel members are selected on the basis of their reputation for scholarly publishing.
The advisory panel, which will meet
Tutte said his participation on the advisory panel benefited KU in two ways.
After reviewing about 100 applications, the panel will recommend 10 to 13 applicants to the national council, which grants ranging from $15.000 to $20.000.
tomorrow in Washington, D.C., reviews fellowship applications from all over the country and makes recommendations to the national council.

After a $139,000 deficit in 1980 the Kansas Union cash cleared $99,000 this year.
Warner Ferguson, assistant director of the Union, said a cut in building costs and an increase in customers were the reasons for the gain.
The bookstore works within a balanced budget contributing money to the Union for maintenance and paying dividends to students on any profit it earns. The department dividends pay 6 percent, said Steve Word, Union bookstore manager.
"By participating on the panel, I become aware of what scholars are doing in my field," he said. "Another one that I am in touch with my peers."
Kansas Union reports $99,000 profit
The food services department showed a deficit of $19,000 in 1980, while Kansas Union Concessions, which operates Wesco Cafeteria and handles the food needs of UU football games, had a profit of $160,000 and the Jaybowl had a profit of $9,900.
The figures for fiscal year 1981, which ended June 30, showed food services with a profit of $292,000. KU Concessions and the Jaybowl with a $45,500 profit.
Ferguson credited the profit for the past year on the cost reductions made in his business.
He said that the food service "took special pains to cut operating costs."
When there were job vacancies, they were not filled as quickly as in the past, he said. Part-time people were hired because they are employees, who have complete benefits.
Dottie Nordlund, Union food production supervisor, said, "I think our business has increased. We like to eat our food quality has gotten better."
Steps have been taken to avoid waste, and operating hours have been adjusted. This year the Prairie Room is open from 7 a.m. until midnight in an amount of 2 p.m. because there was not enough business to warrant the longer hours, Ferguson said.
