Student fees give KUAC a lift
By EILEEN MARKEY Staff Reporter
The Kansas University Athletic Corporation has raised $180,000 in additional revenue by doubling this year's budget. The spokesman for the department reports.
"We haven't received the money from enrollment, but when it comes down here, it will be used for women's athletics and men's non-revenue sports," Susan Wachter, athletic business manager, said yesterday.
When full-time students paid their special activities fees at enrollment last week, the amount included a $3 athletic fee. Last year, the fee was $1.50.
DAVID ADKINS, Student Executive Committee chairman, said the athletic fee was imposed on students over Student Senate objections.
"Our student members opposed that
increase at every point along the way," Adkins said.
Marcum and members of the Kansas University Athletic Corporation board approved a proposed increase in the athletic fee last spring. The proposal was sent to Acting Chancellor Del Shankel for approval. Shankel accepted the recommendation and sent it to the Board of Resents, which approved it.
Adkins said the student members of the KUAC board voted against the proposes and, after being overruling, he saw there would be in effect only for one year.
"They told us it was a one-shot deal." Adrian complained, the issue very closely aligned with his own.
A COPY OF the KUAC projected budget for 1981-82 showed that revenue from the student fee would contribute $670,000 to the school and $140,000 to men's non-revenue fees.
The $179,544 generated from students will account for only 4 percent of a projected $3.9 million budget. The
budget also depends on $1.2 million in contributions from the Williams Educational Fund. Money from the fund is donated by alumni and others, and it finances almost all of KU's athletic scholarships.
The KUAC budget also projected $288,448 in aid appropriated by the Legislature, but Wachter said those sports would be used only for women's sports.
KU will be playing seven home football games this season, as opposed to five last year, and according to the team's plan, the gate is projected to increase by $250,000.
KU could also generate an added $1 million in football revenue if the University agreed to ratify a contract with the College Football Association.
LAST FRIDAY, KU and 32 other CFA member schools ratified four-year law school requirements would guarantee each school $1 million for two television appearances on NBC.

President Reagan's proclamation that yesterday would be Women's Equality Day caused surprise and among women' groups in Lawrence.
Women use day to stump for ERA
"The fact that there was an 'equality day' without any preparation makes me wonder what the point was supposed to be," said Elizabeth Taylor, whose Emily Taylor Women's Resource and Career Center, 218 High Hall.
Yesterday was the 61st anniversary of the date women won the right to vote through the 19th Amendment. Only three more states ratified the amendment to obtain the required for the ERA to become the 27th amendment to the Constitution. The deadline for ratification is June 30, 1982.
Area women's groups' representatives said they wondered if the proclamation was supposed to be an indication that if it was meant to belittle the EFA.
Reagan could have an effect on state legislators by supporting ERA and showing the effect his tax cuts would have on women. Boaz said.
GAIL BOAZ, president of KU's Commission on the Status of Women, said, "It seems like the Reagan administration is trying to appease women through a press case against women who come through on the concrete issues like ERA, then Women's Equality Day is just a slap in the face."
"I think it's ironic that Reagan made this proclamation in the same book with his proposals for weakening Affirmative Action guidelines," said Ballard.
Groups who really support ERA
will probably come back harder than ever, according to Ballard.
Powers said Affirmative Action losing power could possibly "wake a few more people up in the 11th hour" to fight for the ERA
Denny Powers, 2430 W. 25th St., a member of the National Organization for Women, said, "They might not get the support they once did, but people will realize that it's a giant step backwards if affirmative action is weakened, as well as the ERA not being ratified."
TERRI WARRINER, co-ordinator for NOW, said that the weakening of affirmative action had already brought on a backlash and that NOW was being deluged with new volunteers and contributions.
Lawrence Mayor Marci Francisco said she proclaimed yesterday to be Women's Equality Day in Lawrence a week ago.
