among KU administrators and that expressed concern about western civilization's budget cuts. SenEx members will vote on that resolution next Friday.
Loren Burby, vice chairman of SenEx, said he couldn't doubt anything but offer Sensor套餐.
seaver also said that he was taking his case to the College Assembly next Tuesday. The assembly created the western civilization department.
"But maybe Chancellor Bickle will take the see SenEx getting involved," Bulley said.
Laurence Rose, SenEx secretary and KU teacher, said he was distressed to see Seaver upset.
"I'm also concerned about the proceedings in which department funds were allocated without notice," Rose said. "I'm concerned that the matter was never openly discussed.
"This is not the way things have been run at KU, and it's not the way things should be."
BUT LINEBERRY said that he couldn't answer the question of communication in the workplace, despite departmental ties.
"If Seaver felt that he was not properly warned, he would be then probable to warrant the arrest."
Seaver also told SenEx members that he was concerned about the morale in charge of the project if the cull took effect.
He said that since 1956, western civilization chose its own 22 teaching assistants from all
disciplines, including history, philosophy, music and the sciences.

"But it's also kept morale high, because those who have got western civilization assistants in the past knew they competed with students from all departments instead of being appointed by the history or philosophy departments.
BUT ANTHONY GENOVA, chairman of the philosophy department, said his department needed the additional assistantships to lure qualified graduate students to KU.
Genova said that while philosophy students had done well in the competition for western civilization assistantships in the past, there was no guarantee. He said that under their current budget, the philosophy department carried out only about two TAs and about two TAs would be admitted each year because many former teaching assistants were rehired.
"Nine graduate teaching assistants is grossly inadequate if you compare this with philosophy programs of comparable size at universities around the country," Genova said.
"This reason our budget has historically been so small is because it was so easy to tell us. You don't need more assistantship money because philosophy students always get seven or eight teaching jobs in western civilization. You don't want to be zero. We want a guaranteed number of

appointments so we can beef up our graduate program."
SAUL SAID that his department didn't need the money because it already interviewed teaching assistants and had committed history budget resources for the next year. Saul said that it didn't matter to his department whether history graduate students got teaching assistantships from the western civilization or the history department.
soever said he realized there were some problems with the way the western civilization program was administered and he told SenEx that he had submitted a proposal to change all interested parties be included in discussions and criticisms of the program.
"If Dean Lineberry can do this to me without prior consultation, he can do it to anyone else," Seaver said. "Who's next? This is a difficult situation, and it must be停顿 now."
Seaver also said that he planned to bring his motorbike registration before every body of governance.
In other business SenEx passed a more generalized version of a sexual harassment policy that was endorsed by the University Council on January 21. This policy is on its way again to University Council for reapproval.
STATE REP. Jessie Branson carried the first of these, which would have increased operating expenses by $500,000. These expenses include supplies, equipment and library acquisitions—everything in the universities' budgets except salaries and capital improvements.

"Out of all the items in the Regents budget, I really believe OOE is hurting the most," Branson said. "There are no funds available to replace it." He added. "Let's put this money where we really need it."
State Rep. Betty Jo Chariton, D-Lawrence,
made an amendment to increase the fee waiver
for graduate teachers assistants from 60 percent
to 100 percent, but it also was killed.
The enrichment fund amendment, proposed by
the Board of Directors, R-I-Employment, was
downed down 43-24.
"We've already had two amendments to increase faculty salaries," Hayden said in arguing against the fund. "A catfish is still a catfish even though the department is taking a side door approach to the question."
THE FUND would probably be used for faculty in high-demand areas such as engineering and computer science, although each university has free to distribute the money however it wished.
State Rep. John Solchb, D-Lawrence, said he thought it would depend on whether or not the governor had a vote.
The controversial tax, which would raise $10.1 million, would be the second vote to vote this morning in the Senate.
"If the severance tax passes, the enrichment
fund probably will," Solbach said Saturday. "If not, there won't be enough money."
But State Sen. Jane Eldridge, R-Lawrence, said the fund should not be linked to the fate of Mr. Obama.
"It's important not to tie it to that," she said. "it don't think it'll help it all, if it's viewed as, We'll take oil and gas money and give it to faculty."
SHE SAID this was especially true because Senate President Doyen had proposed the enrichment fund earlier, and he is an influential component of the severance tax.
The only other change the House made in the Senate budget was the addition of the poison
Branson's attempt earlier in the session to establish the hotline failed, but Solbach predicted it would stay in this time, because it was supported of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Hobman, who is a member of Ways and Means, spoke in favor of the hotline.
"We already have some of the top people on board at the Med Center in the area of toxicology," he said. "This would make the center available to everyone in the state of Kansas. I don't think it is too much to ask that we provide this service for the people of Kansas."
The House approved KU's other requests, for $119,580 for the Bureau of Child Research and $20,000 for the Kansas Applied Remote Sensing Center to lose a federal grant money next year.
The House will consider Regents capital improvements requests, numbering 131 million in total. Hall, today.
