Regents debate yearly tuition hike, fee changes
By ANNECALOVICH
Staff Reporter
The Kansas Board of Regents will consider possible fee adjustments that would begin the fall of 1982 and possibly tuition increases for the students in their meeting at Kansas State University today.
The Regents also discussed possible student tuition increases at their last meeting. There are no definite increases proposed, but the Regents are considering instituting yearly tuition increases, instead of increases every few years, so that tuition hikes would not be so large.
David Adkins, student body president, said there were advantages and disadvantages to
raising tuition every year. He said lower yearly increases would be good.
But, he said, if the Regents raised tuition every few years, they might not be so quick to raise it by a substantial amount. If tuition is increased it would require a substantial amount might be built up over time.
THE REGENTS will also consider several fees and decide on some of them today. Some fee proposals will come up for final approval at the Mav meeting.
The Regents will decide how to make permanent an originally one-time fee, such as the $4.50 KU students for women's and non-女学生 sports this year. KU wants to make it permanent.
At the same time, the University is asking that
a $4.50 fee paid by KU students for bonds on Wescoe Hall be dropped, as Wescoe has been paid for.
Fees up for approval in May include a $ 45 lab fee for students in introductory laboratory biology classes and a $10 lab fee for students in advanced laboratory biology classes.
Also proposed is a $5 fee for every credit hour of fine arts, not to exceed $25 a semester. The fee would be used to replace the present applied fee for materials and would pay for materials needed in classes.
BECAUSE OF inflation, an application fee of $20 for the graduate program of the School of Architecture and Urban Design is increased by $15 for the university UIS is increased by $15 the $15 graduate application fee to the School of
Engineering and a $5 raise in the $20 fee for graduates in the School of Law.
The student health facility fee of $7 would also be dropped because KU has paid for Watkins Memorial Hospital, but a new fee of $1.50 would be charged. This change would increase the maintenance and equipment replacement.
Fees for independent study would also increase from $24 a credit hour to $30 to defer inflationary costs in mailings, printing and processing of paper.
The Regents will also review several issue papers for the fiscal year 1984 budget, including papers on libraries, faculty salaries and fringe benefits, other operating expenditures, major repairs, special maintenance and remodeling, research and public service, effect of financing
cutbacks on tuition grant and scholarship programs, capital improvements, energy conservation and student accessibility to higher education in Kansas, given financial aid cut-backs.
Deanell Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the papers on the library and faculty salaries and fringe benefits were the most important.
THE PAPER on faculty salaries and fringe benefits pays Regents schools have lagged behind their peer institutions in salaries and fringe benefits for the last 12 years.
The Regents have identified peers for each of the state universities in Kansas. The peers are in
University Council defeats abolition of Parking Board
By ANN WYLIE Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
A University Council member moved yesterday to abolish the Parking and Traffic Board after expressing his dislike for a revised 1983 parking budget.
The motion was defeated, 35-1.
"If the University is going to take the position that it will not compromise, then the Parking and Traffic Board is a complete sham," Kenn Himmelstein, council member and an associate professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, said yesterday.
Himmelstein was referring to changes in the budget made by University administrators who did not notify the board. These changes transferred additional costs onto Parking Services without taking away any costs or increasing Parking Services' revenue.
Although council members generally agreed with Himmelstein's thoughts about the budget, they disagreed with the method he chose to propose it.
SEVERAL MEMBERS thought abolishing the administration would overkill them because the administration would leave overtime.
"I think that the motion itself is totally automatic, so I don't have to board member and Hutchinson junior, sad."
"In all reality, there's going to be a parking board. We may as well keep it in our hands. I think it would be a calamity to abolish the city's power and leave it in the administration's hands."
Another member said he thought the motion oversimplified dealing with the problem.
The revisions were "housekeeping matters" George Worth, council chairman and professor of English, said, that made the wording of the document more precise than it was before.
"I don't think you can operate all these darn things in a vacuum," Ernest Angino, council member and professor of geology and civil engineering, said.
The policy prohibits any act of sexual harassment and states that anyone engaging in such behavior will face severe consequences.
"All I can say is I hope to hell there will be less of a breakdown in communications in the future. I don't know. My ability to predict the future is pretty poor."
If defines sexual harassment as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal and physical conduct of a sexual employee or employer or academic decisions or performance.
In other business, the council unanimously approved a revised policy on sexual harassment.
JAMES SEAVER, council member and director of Western Civilization, suggested trying to improve communications between the two sides and the council for a more effective board.
THE COUNCIL also voted to approve the Parking Board's 1981-82 annual report.
The report included rules and regulations that the board had passed this year, the 1983 and 1984 budgets and other concerns of the board, such as parking lot construction.

Funds approved to build addition to Haworth Hall

KU biology faculty breathed a sigh of relief yesterday at the news that they finally can look forward to a new, modern building and leave behind a cold-outdated conditions in 58-year-old Snow Hall.
The $13.8 million addition to Haworth Hall received final approval with the signature of Gov. John Carlin late yesterday afternoon. The project will be financed over the next four years and includes a walkway to connect Haworth and Malefit halls.
we've been waiting for this a long time" Schlegel, chairman of the division of Biology (BioLOG).
He said the addition would allow the application of modern research techniques, as well as make room for teaching labs and lecture rooms.
"In Snow Hall, we had some real problems with the plumbing and electrical wiring," he said. "And with modern scientific research, you need a lot of juice."
MICHAEL GAINES, chairman of the undergraduate biology department and associate professor of systematics and ecology, said the biology department in particular needed more space for large lecture classes. It now shares lecture rooms in Wescoe Hall with other classes.
"We need it just for the classroom facilities," he said. "And it's going to really improve research. We don't have the proper facilities, as they distilled water, ventilation, things like that."
The University put Haworth Hall first on its list of capital improvements for this issue.
The project's chances for financing were boosted by the Board of Regents' evaluation, which listed the addition fifth out of 29 priority building projects.
The project received another nod of approval from the Legislative Committee on State Budgets.
KU RECEIVED $18,000 from the state two years ago for preliminary and final planning of the construction and requirement works to begin in 2015. The contractors were错着 the state budget tight and denied the money.

KU admits NCAA letter on allegations

Del Shankel, acting athletic director,
acknowledged yesterday that the NCAA had

institutions.
Shankel said in a press release that the NCAA was conducting a preliminary investigation, but had not informed KU whether it had sub-committee any of the allegations against the University.
"It is our understanding that when the NCAA receives allegations of recruiting violations, its normal procedure is to notify the institution on a confidential basis prior to beginning a preliminary inquiry to determine whether or not a formal investigation is warranted," Shankel

"To date, our own internal review has failed to substantiate the validity of the rumors on which it was based."
SHANKEL SAID the University had not been informed by the NCAA of the substance of any of the charges.

Hart declined to specify what the coaches thought KU had done wrong.
"In this instance, since the University did acknowledge that it received a letter, it sounds ridiculous to say that I can't confirm or deny it, but that is the policy."
"The coaches, along with five or six other schools, had expressed concern to the Big Eight." Hart said. "I don't know what the Big Eight office did or how it got to the NCAA."
"If we had some concerns, we should express them," he said.

Albee decries the decline of U.S. art
By DAN PARELMAN

American's declining participation in the arts since the 1960s has reflected a decline in the freedom of Americans, playwright Edward Abaeid last night at the Kansas Union.
Alibee spoke to about 600 people at a human rights conference speech titled, "The Women Who Vast the Tshekis."
Since Richard Nixon was elected president in 1968, the United States has shunned the truths about U.S. society that art provides, said Albee, author of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
"Concurrent with the election of Richard
Nixon, we began a cultural and intellectual retreat," he said.
AMERICANS HAVE retreated from art because they're uncertain about the future of the United States, and American art mirrors the life in the United States, according to Albee.
Rather than exposing themselves to the self-awareness that critical artists offer, Americans have deceived themselves with fantasy and art. They tell us that audiences want artists to lie to them, he said.
"We are permitting ourselves smaller and smaller access to the truth of art." Allee said.
At the same time that Americans have retreated from art, the government has rejected

its commitment to the arts, according to Albee. He cited the Reagan administration's cuts in grants to the arts as an example of the government's abandonment of art.
Who Americans elect to govern them relates to American participation in art, Albee said.
THE ELECTION of John Kennedy triggered, in part, American interest in art, he said.
The reduction in artistic involvement and awareness since Albee and his contemporaries wrote in the '60s, he said, should concern people because art, as a metaphor that man uses to defuse his world, represents a high form of evolution.
"We are the only animals who create art," Albee said.
Tonight's low will be in the mid- to upper 30s. Tomorrow will be sunny, with a high in the 60s.

Gleason clarifies complaints forms No Recall Coalition
By STEPHEN BLAIR
Staff Reporter
Tom Gleason, Lawrence city commissioner, said yesterday that he thought City Manager Buford Watson had improved his job per son. He said the commission's February evaluation of him.
Discussing his relationship with Watson and the reasons for having wanted to fire him, Gleason said, "I'm quite a bit more satisfied with performance and the staff's performance."
GLEASON SAID Watson gave the commission poor advice about adopting the city code and showed favoritism to individuals and some areas of the city.
On Feb. 6, it was disclosed that Gleason had written a letter to Watson suggesting that Watson resign or face the possibility of being fired.
Gleason said he wrote the letter after concluding that Watson had inadequately performed his duties, but the commission decided not to fire him and instructed it to shortcomings during the evaluation.
Watson said yesterday he preferred not to comment on Gleason's charges.
"It's unethical for me to get involved in a recall campaign," he said.
The recall effort began when the Lawrence Committee circulated petitions to force an elec-
Gleason announced yesterday that he had formed the No Recall Coalition to campaign against the drive. The recall election will be May 11.
During the campaign, volunteers will make a special effort to contact people who signed the petition that forced the recall election, Gleason said.
GLEASON'S GROUP is a coalition, he said, because its members are both those who support him as Commissioner and those who are opposed to recalling a commissioner without sufficient votes.
Gleason said that as a commissioner, it was his job to see that the city manager was performing adequately.
Gleason gave examples of what he said were Watson's failures in his job.
Gleason said Watson should have read the code, which later was found to contain errors,
