No cuts in faculty salaries, Board of Regents to declare
By CANDICE SACKUVICH Staff Reporter
The Kansas Board of Regents will make it official tomorrow that unclassified employees' salaries will not be decreased, the Regents chairman said vesterday.
James Pickert, Regents chairman, said, "the consensus of the board now is that faculty salaries are not as high as they were."
Chancellor Gene A. Budig said yesterday that he was opposed to the deferral of faculty salary incentives.
At a meeting with Gov. John Carlin Tuesday in Topeka, the Regents agreed to comply with his request for a *percent spending reduction in taxes* that would reduce the budget of 1983 budget will cost Kansas Regents' shocks an
estimated $2 million, and the University of Kansas nearly $3 million.
CARLIN ALSO ASKED the Regents to temporarily defer a portion of faculty salary increases that were scheduled to take effect July 1, Pickert said.
"the governor asked the board to be consistent about salary reductions for unclassified as salaried employees."
Carlin recently had ordered a free on the 1.25 percent merit pay increase for Kansas classmates.
Budig, in a letter to Carlin Tuesday, requested that reinstatement of classified增进 increases be one of the first actions taken by the state when the fiscal crisis was resolved.

Pickert said the Regents were scheduled to have a conference-call meeting at 8 a.m. tomorrow.
"We will decide which areas of the budget could be cut, and we'll set up guidelines for the budget."
Budid said that early next week after the University received guidelines from the Regents, specific guidelines would be sent to the heads of budgetary units on both campuses.
Today will be partly cloudy with a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms, according to the National Weather Service in Topeka. There are winds, with southerly winds of 5 to 15 mph.
Tonight will be partly cloudy with a low in
the morning and a 20 percent chance of thunder-

Friday's high will be in the mid-90s, with partly cloudy skies and a chance of thunder.
Warren selected interim DA permanent position still open
Harry E. Warren, Assistant district attorney, was ewored in yesterday as temporary district judge.
James W. Paddock, administrative district judge, made the appointment after accepting present District Attorney Mike Malone's resignation.
Malone resigned in order to accept his appointment last month to the position of associate counselor at The Church of America.
Warren said he appreciated the confidence the judges had shown in him.
"I hope it will lead to something more permanent in the future," he said.
ACCORDING TO STATE law, the temporary annuity must be of the same political party as
the district attorney he is replacing, Paddock said. Malone is a Democrat.
The Democratic Central Committee has to meet one week after the temporary appointment is made to recommend a permanent replacement to Gov. John Carlin.
Whoever is chosen for the position will finish Malone's term, which ends in 1894.
Warren said he hoped the judge's confidence in his ability would give him the impetus to win the permanent appointment.
If he gets the permanent appointment, Warren said, he will run for a full term in 1984.
Warren received his law degree from the University of Kansas in 1973.
Commission OKs drainage fee refunds; new zones permit triplex construction

Commissioners chose an option computing nearly $1,000 that will cover postage, computer time, and other expenses.
Starting September 15 and continuing through November 15, Lawrence water department customers who paid storm water drainage fees send a coupon or letter to City Hall to collect
City commissioners chose both the refund time period and method at Tuesday's meeting after City Manager Buford Watson presented seven options, ranging in price from $236 to $129,400.
VOTERS DECIDED last May that the city must refund the nearly $80,000 collected from local water users during a 10-month period last year. The city stopped collecting the 50 cent fee attached to water users' bills in December, after the authorizing ordinance was discovered.
The city has spent much of the $80,000 for a partially completed storm water drainage management study. Watson said that the city currently had about $15,000 to begin refunding to
water users, but that the remaining $65,000 would come from their year's budget and would be released until late summer.
Cermissioners and Watson agreed that the city would file any requests that arrived before September 15 but that they would not be paid until then.
Under the program, current water department customers will have their accounts credited with the amount they paid into the drainage study. Customers who purchase advertisements will have a check sent to them.
AT LEAST ONE commissioner expressed best that residents would not ask for their refund.
"Friends of storm water management request you don't ask, for it back." Commissioner Tom

asked the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission to study the new zoning classification.
IN JUNE, the planning commissioners voted 8-2 to deny the creation of the new classification, saying it was arbitrary and only addressed the older neighborhood's problems.
George Coggins, the 14th President of the Oread Neighborhood Association, said the zoning laws in Oakland, Calif., the Oread Neighborhood Plan but in the long run was important to the plan's implementation.
The Oread neighborhood, an older central-city area, has a high residential density, which association members have asked to be lowered. The new zoning classification was considered a compromise between the neighbourhood's homebuilders and landowners, who have disagreed on the density level.
But Mayor Marci Francisco said she viewed the zoning revision as going further than solving problems.

Iran vows to topple Iraq

Future hospital administrators get special masters program
Staff Reporter

The University of Kansas is responding to the need for trained health care facility administrators by offering a new master of science degree. David Davis, Davis, director of the program, said yesterday.
"The HSA degree program that will begin this fall, will focus on training students who are interested in management of long- and short-term health care facilities," he said.
George Woodyard, associate dean of the Graduate School, and administrator of health care units at McGraw-Hill University.
"No other health services administration program exists in the state," he said. "We recognized the opportunity to establish ourselves in this field."
THERE ARE 60 other programs in schools in America, Davis said, and the two-year, 50-hour HSA degree will be similar to those.
"The students must spend time visiting and studying health facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes, medical schools and policy-making offices and agencies," he said.
"What will make our program different from the other national programs is the nine hours of classes that the HSA students will be required to take." Davis said.
These classes will feature lectures from visiting professionals already in the field, focusing on the specific needs of each group.
HSA program will also require a practicum, Davis said.
IN ADDITION to these lecture classes, the new
Students in the program will be required to have an emphasis in science, Davis said. They must also take courses in microbiology and epidemiology, the study of contagious diseases.
"By knowing about contagious diseases, the students will be taught to recognize the ramifications of hospital construction," he said. "For example, how do you build a care facility for those with a contagious disease? This type of strain in some way protect the other patients."
"What we want to stress is the ability of the administrator to interact with the medical end."
DAVIS LEFT HIS position as director of the public administration program July to return to teaching full time. But he accepted the HSA position instead, he said.
"I have been teaching a course in health care," Davis said. "That really is my area of interest. And it was an opportunity to start the program from scratch."
Mel Dublin, associate professor of political science who replaced Davis as MPA director, said the public administration department would continue with a health care option.
