Budig says money will not create faculty posts
By ANNECALOVICH
Staff Reporter
Chancelor Gene A. Budig said yesterday that the extra $465,000 the Kansas Legislature gave the University of Kansas for next year's budget because of increased enrollments in 1979 and 1980 would not be used to hire any new full-time faculty members.
Buddy said the money would be used in the following ways:
- Forty percent for instruction. That would not include new faculty positions, but probably would.
- forty percent to the Other Operating Expenses budget, which includes budgets for everything outside of salaries, including the library and equipment.
- Twenty percent for student employment.
- Thirty percent for academic.
progress at the University of Kansas, $ ^{70} $ Budig said.
THE SAID new faculty positions could not be created because although there would be money for them in next year's budget, there would not be in, 1984. A lot of the same money would be taken away in the fiscal year 1984 budget because of a decrease in enrollment in 1981.
money is now allocated by the Legislature to the state's universities according to the number of students enrolled. That plan was adopted by the Legislature in 1981 so that KU would receive the $405,000 in fiscal year 1983 as a result of the 1979 and '80 enrollment increases, but would lose a lot of that money in fiscal year 1984 as a result of decreased enrollment in the fall of 1981.
Budig and he was glad the Legislature gave the universities flexibility to decide how to spend
"We are being hurt by inadequate OOE," he
said. "This will support research and instruction that needs immediate assistance."
Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, is deciding this week exactly how the money will be used and in which departments.
EMPLOYMENT INCREASES will help shorthanded departments and schools and aid students who need jobs, Budig said.
"It supports the operation of academic units, while providing meaningful work opportunities for students."
for students. He said it would show KU's concern for students at a time of financial aid cutbacks by giving them more job opportunities.
Budid said he could not say when KU might be able to hire new faculty, but if increasing admissions and applications to KU are any sign, it may not be too long.
There were 500 more students admitted to KU by March 26 this year than by the same time last.
year, David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said.
IF SOME of the 500 students enroll, he said,
could take up in enrollment next year what
would be available for them.
That does not mean that all 500 students will receive enrollment, but it is a good sign. Rude.
Budig said he did not know when KU might hire more faculty because enrollment patterns were not fixed, but said that, "We are confident enrollment will hold in the 1980s. We hope the future enrollment will justify increased staffing."
The number of applicants to KU this year is increasing despite the fact that the number of graduating high school students in Kansas has risen to 28,000 in the last five years. Amber said.
are a greater number of graduating high school students going on to college," he said.
The number of admissions is not yet final for this year because students can be admitted up to the first day of classes, Ambler said.
HE ALSO SAID freshmen were a small part of the total enrollment, and because this year's freshmen and sophomore classes had been small, next year's sophomore and junior classes
Ambler said those students had to be retained.
Amber said some students married or收养 Last year there were 3,873 admissions to KU but only 412 students and 4,466. In 1981, 2,837 of those admitted actually enrolled as new students in the fall. There were 4,825 applicants by March of last year, compared to 5,507 this year.
But Amber said the number of high school seniors would continue to drop in future years.
"Our task is still before us," he said.

Dr. Snakek, acting athletic director, said that it was a “confidential matter within the institute,” according to the source.
KU officials refused to confirm or deny yesterday whether the National Collegiate Athletic Association had approved the department about alleged recruiting violations in the KU football program.
"I'm not in a position to confirm or deny it," he said.

"Our comment is no comment," Wilson said. Officials at the NCAA also refused to comment.
Rhate McMenamin, assistant director of enforcement for the NCAA, said, "We take the position that we can't confirm or deny it."
When Budiq's office was contacted again, Jim Scaly, administrative assistant to the chancellor, said, "He's going to be in, but he won't return it." He could leave a message, but he wouldn't return it.
WILLIAM HOGAN, associate executive vice chancellor, said that he had not seen the letter and that he had no comment.
"I would defer all comments on that to the chancellor." Hoaz said.
Bill Hancock, director of the Big Eight's service bureau, said, "Our line is a standard no comment."

Lawrence legislators divided on approaches to tax issues
BvKEVIN HELLIKER
Only two days remain for the adjourned Kansas Legislature to mop up funding problems that lawmakers failed to resolve during almost 12 weeks of work.
Staff Reporter
Can it be done?
Can't be sure. Lawrence legislators are divided in their views of what will happen when the session reconvenes April 27.
"There's so much left to do that it's hard for me to imagine us cleaning up in two days," Rep. Sharon McCaskill said.
But Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence, said issues such as highway funding and school finances had been tossed around the Legislature all session, so dealing with them should not take
"We know our way around these issues!"
So she said all of them have been through bai house.
THE REMAINING tasks before the Legislature will be resolved, Solbach said, when we know what we've spent and haven't spent, and what funds we've got and haven't got."
However, a question that still looms before the Legislature is whether funds will be gathered
from a severance tax. Although the Senate killed a severance tax bill on a 21-19 vote on April 5, Gov. John Carlin and others have vowed to implement such a tax this session.
"The central issue here is still the severance
of the contract. I think the opportunity to
get one pass this year will be worth it."
The contingency of the severance tax has caused other issues, such as a proposed increase on the gasoline tax, to become pawns in the game of chess. The company is revenue, Rep. Jess Branson, D-Lawrence, said.
Branson said the gasoline tax and other bills that beer "held hostage" in the Senate, pending a vote on the bill.
If the severance tax were passed, for instance, and increase in the gasoline tax might not be required.
BECAUSE THE severance tax still is up in the air, however, other issues, including wage increases for state classified employees and employers may be hard to settle in two days, Branson said.
"Perhaps we can get it all done in two days," she said. "But I really wonder."
However, Sen. Jane Eldridge, R-Lawrence, said the severance-tax issue almost certainly was settled, which would facilitate passing other bills.

Haig returns home weary after first Falklands talks
By United Press International
WASHINGTON—Secretary of State Alexander Haig returned from London last night to brief President Reagan on his 23,000-mile mission to avert war between Argentina and Britain over control of the Falkland Islands.
Haig was hoarse and appeared weary from his shuttle diplomacy that began Thursday with a flight to London, then to Buenos Aires and back to the British capital. Upon landing at Andrews Air Force Base he had talks with the governors and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and with the Argentine military junta headed by Lt. Gen. Leopoldo Galtieri.
Hag said he had given both governments
for negotiations that they were
now considering and would report on his progress to Reagan this morning.
KU trving to pinpoint drop-out causes
THE SOLUTION, whatever it may be, must accord with U.N. resolution 502, which calls for Argentine withdrawal from the 149-year-old British crown colony.
"I had planned to go on to Buenos Aires for the continuation of our efforts to help solve the crisis," Haig said. "But difficulties developed to change these plans.
"We have now received some new ideas, and while the parties are considering those ideas, it will provide an opportunity for me to speak about this issue before Reagan before going to Buenos Aires."
During his 36-hour stop in London, Haig said it was evident that British leaders would not recall the armada dispatched to reclaim Atlantic islands they had rulled for 149 years.

Every semester, some students decide not to return to the University of Kansas.
The Office of Academic Affairs is trying to determine how much attrition—the number of students who leave school—is necessary, and to help the students who have the potential to succeed in college finish school.
"Our first priority has got to be the students and their education's." David Armber, vice president.
"Some students fail because they know nobody cares. We've got to demonstrate more visibly."
Certain types of students are especially high drop-out risks.
