Adkins wants fee hike to benefit student needs
By ANNE CALOVICH
Staff Reporter
MANHATTAN-KU student body president David Adkins wants half of the revenue from a proposed tuition increase to be funneled back to the students.
The students
Student tuition will be raised by $88 beginning in the fall of 1983 if the Kansas Board of Regents gives its final approval next month.
The Regents gave preliminary approval to the increase, which will affect all Regents schools, last Friday at its April meeting at Kansas State University. The fee increase is part of the increase of how often tuition is increased and what constitutes educational expenses for students.
The Regents expect to raise $10 million system-wide from increased tuition.
Adkins, who is on the ad hoc committee on tuition appointed by the Regents, said Friday that because increased fees might make it harder for students to attend college while financial aid was being cut back, revenue from the fee hike should be used to beef up student employment opportunities and other forms of financial aid.
Tuition was last raised, by 22 percent, in the fall of 1981. Tuition will now be raised again, from $42 to $410 a semester for in-state tuition, from $65 to $70 a semester, added to students' final costs during enrollment.
Regents usually consider tuition costs every three to four years.
BUT THE SYSTEM of making rather substantial increases every few years is giving way to making smaller increases every year by the Regents.
The ad hoc committee, which also includes Chancellor Gene A. Budig, suggested that increases be considered every year by a committee of Regents, presidents and students.
Adkins said that if tuition were increased every year increases would be smaller than if it were increased every few years. He said the state was the necessary, especially as state funds dwindle.
Tuition for out-of-state students will be increased
$200, from $1,000 to $1,200.
Tuition for the KU School of Medicine-
Wichita will be increased $732, from $6,860 to
$7,592.
The committee also recommended that utility costs no longer be considered part of the students' educational expenses, but that special departmental and laboratory fees should be.
Definition of educational fees is important as the Regents start to move students closer to a point where they pay 25 percent of the total cost of their education. Now students pay 18.2 percent of their educational costs, but under the new increase, they will pay 23.1 percent.
THE COMMITTEE noted that the Kansas Legislature did not consider utilities as part of its jurisdiction.
A point of contention between the committee and the board arose over whether or not to include academic building fees in the fee/cost ratio. The committee did not favor the inclusion.

Winn faces student questions on loan cutbacks
By ANN LOWRY
Staff Reporter
Although President Reagan has proposed cutting large amounts of federal aid to college students, U.S. Rep. Larry Winn, R-Kan., has other ideas to help the programs.
"The national default rate is 10 percent. If all that money was paid back," Winn said, "think of the money we's have for students in the future."
*The requirements for procurement of loans are the largest, most expensive to much we've been too easy to get.
Winn spoke to about 70 people at an informal reception sponsored by the Student Senate in the Kansas Union Friday evening; being part of the congressional Easter easter.
The cuts would reduce Pell Grants 40 percent, Guaranteed Student Loans 60 percent and College Work Study 27 percent. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, National Direct Student Loans and student incentive grants would be eliminated.

"He is" "some students responded.
"I'm not trying to defend the president, but
Winn said that more money would be available if all student loans were paid back and that there was money available through a local bank. The bank did not know about, called ALAS and PLUS.
He also said graduate students would still be eligible for loans, but at 14 percent rate.
"He didn't say anything," said Tom Berger, KU graduate student council director and Student Senate's finance and auditing committee member. "He wasn't confident in his responsibility to answer the questions."
But some of the students said that they were not satisfied with Winn's responses to their
When Berger asked Winn whether he supported Reagan's cuts, Winn answered, "After I see something in writing, I will support the programs I will support and which I won't."
One student, Keith Runey, Kansas City,

Raney asked Winn what the government would do about the effects of budget cuts on minority students. He said that 75 percent of his students were "displeased upon some kind of financial assistance."
"A large percentage of them won't be back next year." Ranvee said.
Winn responded by saying that Congress considered students as a whole, not as black
Winn had prefaced the session by telling the group he did not serve on the committees dealing with the financial aid cuts, so he didn't know some of the details. He is a member of the Science and Technology Committee.
Bill Kostar, a Democratic candidate for the 3rd District, and Tom Keele, a member of his campaign staff, also visited with students at the reception.
"I think it is very brave of Mr. Winn to come before a relatively hostile crowd."
Kostar said he thought the proposed financial aid cuts were short-sighted.
Raney said he thought cuts in financial aid were "a scapegoat to balance the budget."
"I don't think the proposals the administration has put forth are practical," he
Before Winn's address, Kostar circulated among students, making statements demonstrating the two men agreed on the financial aid issue.
Kostar said he thought the government needed to work harder to collect payments on student loans, and eligibility requirements should be tightened.
"What we have to do is attempt to continually match student needs."
Kostar said he thought students would be concerned that the government was moving away from programs such as energy conservation and environmental protection.
He was in Lawrence on his way home to Heaven from Topeka and stopped at in the reception.
David Adkins, student body president, said the reception was not meant to be a debate but a forum for Winn as the district's chief executive. He said he was planning debates later in the campaign.
"Right now we're focusing on federal policies of people in office," Adkins said.

For inmates of prisons and ivy-covered walls, as well as those who watch the show for late-night companionship, "All Night Live" is aired from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. But for Muscare and the crew, it only lasts until 2:30 a.m., when the last line segment is shot and segments that have been played are televised.

Groups urge KU students to vote May 11

"It's really a matter of manpower more than anything," he said.
Volunteers in the effort to recall Lawrence City Commissioner Tom Gleason will court KU students in organized living groups, Richard Robertson and the directors of the recall group, said yesterday.
Students who register to vote by today will be eligible to apply for an absentee ballot.
Hernandez said students were interested when he carried a petition to put the recall on the bill.
However, Hernandez said he was concerned that many students in the school for this semester might be Day 1 of the election.
"I did go through a couple of scholarship balls," he said.
"When I went to these places, there seemed to be a serious concern. I hit the fraternites and sororites up in the back."
Members of the Lawrence Committee, the group sponsoring the recall, were not sure whether they would advertise on campus, he said.
A large part of the campaign, which includes door-to-door and telephone contacts, involves research into Gleason's performance on the commission, he said.
Hernandez said he was sure the group would be able to recall Gleason.
The NO Recall Coalition, the group supporting Gleason's effort to stay on the commission, has not yet discussed whether to campaign among Gleason's supporters, volunteer coordinator for the group, said.
Another item on the ballot in the May 11 election is a referendum on whether to finance a study of storm water run-off by collecting a 50-cent monthly fee on the water bill.
Members of a group that organized the petition drive to put the issue on the ballot have volunteers in KU securities, fraternities and residence halls, Jeff Freeman, a spokesman for the group.
"It's not a major issue on their minds," he said. "But it still adds up your total bill."
