... wun other state employees, will not receive a salary increase of more than 8 percent. State Rep. Loren Hohman, D-Topeka, said he thought the state had an obligation to help students because of future cuts in federal financial aid.
"This is a natural follow-up to the New Federalism," he said. "If they can't get federal aid, at least they should have the opportunity to work."
The committee voted to go along with the Senate's recommendation of a 60 percent tuition-feewer waiver for graduate teaching assistants. The Senate had requested a 100 percent tuition-ee waiver.
The Regents also asked the Legislature to pay for student union rental fees for groups other than students.
BUT THE HOUSE committee approved the

"The students don't have to feel they can't bargain on an equal footing with the universities," he said. "They've just been buffailed a lot by the administration."

Senate recommendation to continue financing only 50 percent of non-student usage of student unions.
Duncan said student governments at the schools should feel free to raise the rent for union housing.
Duncan said he did not intend for rental fees for student groups to be raised, just groups outside the universities.
McMWAIN SAID the fire was especially difficult to extinguish, because as the carbon dioxide loosed on the barrels and firefighters would see into the warehouse.
The committee will consider the University individual budget items today. The KU subcommittee will present its report on capital improvements and other University requests, in addition to the system-wide Regents budget, today and Thursday.
Friday night, firefighters sealed the building until Saturday morning when McSwain and an FMC employee checked the building, McSwain said.
"We made a couple of checks, and at that time,
we decided to keep the building sealed until this
month."
As a precautionary measure, FCMS crews will be the building over the weekend, McSainn said.
"We took personnel and equipment in and began a systematic opening of the building. There wasn't a flare-up or anything," McSwain said.
FMC employees and fire officials inspected the building again yesterday morning and decided it was safe to start clean up operations and begin opening the building.
"The decision was made to let the part of the warehouse where the major part of the fire was located be kept out."
One team of firefighters remained at the scene until 5 p.m. yesterday.
but there are people that can't function in society—physically or mentally."
About 15 firefighters and two FMC employees were treated at the scene for minor burns.

Burnout
Burnout can exist in nearly every occupation, but Morley Glicken, KU associate professor of social welfare, presented a study to the Council of Social Workers in Los Angeles in 1890 that cited unrealistic expectations as a problem contributing to burnout in social work.
"Some people incorrectly select themselves as volunteers," Glicken said.
ACCORDING TO statistics from KU's School of Medicine, this does not happen as often with students.
Spano said a study that was done two years ago, covering the previous five years showed that 78 percent of students in social work stayed in the social work field after graduation. It also showed that 15 percent of the social work graduates went on to receive a master's degree in social work. It indicated that only 5 percent of the graduates never used their social work degree.
Spano said that because 96 percent of the school's members were women, that many of the 5 percent who did not use their degrees had children, and did not go directly into the work force.
HE SAID that KU's School of Social Welfare attempted to expose its 106 students to the type of situations they would face after graduation. The program requires seniors to work two days a week in mental hospitals, child abuse centers and other areas, he said.
He said that through this, the social work training attempted to emphasize both the bureaucratic and creative aspects of social work
He said that it was necessary for students to be taught how to choose those whose school to try to match their interests.
Glicken said that studies showed the social worker's first job was the most likely to cause
disillusionment or dissatisfaction, often because of the low salary offered.
"You really have to understand the amount of money it takes to live," he said.
He said that working from eight to five could generate more stress that a student realized.
IN THE PAST 10 years, inflation increases have surpassed salary increases, he said, which stretched the beginning salary further than it could so for some families.
Glicken said that the nature of the work itself contributed to burnout.
"Social work is a very difficult, demanding job. It requires you to know them to know the field and know themselves."
Glicken said the amount of paperwork involved caused some burnout, but he thought the chance to move into another area of social work could eliminate that.
Glicken's March 1980 study showed that a large number of social workers with a bachelor's degree leave the field entirely because of a serious concern with the organizational structure.
JUDITH GALAS, a former WTCS advocate who is working on a graduate degree in journalism, is an example of a social worker who left school because of organizational differences of opinion.
"It got to be too much to deal with on a regular basis," she said.
Gales began her work with WTCS in August 1979 as a training advocate, where she worked for a year before beginning work out of her home in August 1980 as a call-forwarding advocate.
"I treasured the time I spent with them," Galas said of the battered women. "But being so constantly put up against the victims—the actual pain is so much to deal with."
GALAS SAID that many of the women who volunteered at WTCS had stress in other areas of their lives. Some are single parents, some have
beattered themselves and others are actively pursuing another career.
"It's almost like a marriage," she said. "You have an emotional commitment."
Galas said she finally decided to leave WTCS late last year.
Other people's solutions to burnout problems seem as varied as the causes.
Ruth McCambridge, present WTCs director, has her own means of coping with stress.
"When the work is extremely important to you, you will keep pushing yourself to go on."
"I will do just fine and then I'll become caty-utaine you have to leave me alone for a while."
PATRICIA DORIA, past WTS council, said that the other members had provided the support of staff.
For Doria, stress was "feeling like if you don't get done; and if you don't it do now, it will be too hard."
Doria said she said that articles written on avoiding burnout really helped much.
"A person susceptible to burnout really may have a hard time taking care of themselves to care for others." Sometimes the particular situation really requires going the extra mile over and again.
WANER SAID she coped by confronting the situation.
"I'm honest with people," Wanner said. "I just want to talk. I don't need a badge, but I let them know I'm having a bad day."
She said laughter was a good way to release tension.
All of the social workers interviewed said that recognizing burnout was the first step toward
But stress will continue to exist for them in a profession where, as Doria said, "essentially what we're doing is agreeing to put Band-Aids on cultural bullet holes."
