Group forms to study Kaw water issues
By RICK DULLEA Staff Reporter
Industries and municipalities that depend on water from the Kansas River basin have organized an advisory group called the Kansas River Alliance to study the management of water from the Kansas River and its tributaries.
Buford Watson, Lawrence city manager, was elected president of the alliance during an organizational board meeting last week in Topeka.
Watson said recently that the alliance would monitor the water-related actions taken by the Kansas Legislature and the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers and provide them with a "strong voice" to municipal and industrial water users.
Membership in the alliance is open to communities, cities, counties, rural water districts and industries, according to Watson. Membership fees are $10 plus two-tenths of 1 percent for each customer water connection in the city. Ticket prices are about $6. Private corporations and industries are charged a flat $20 fee.
one alliance is already monitoring two bills now in the Kansas Senate, Watson said.
ONE BILL under consideration would eliminate the plan for Onaga Reservoir in Pottawatomi County near Manhattan. Watson said the alliance was concerned about the need to move on future water supplies in that area.
Another Senate bill under consideration concerns the sale of water from the Kansas River for irrigation.
"We don't want to short-end ourselves with basin transfers," Watson said.
Basin transfers are water lines that transfer water from the river to regional sites for irrigation purposes.
KU students lobbying against cuts in loans
By ANN LOWRY Staff Reporter
Three KU students will be among thousands of students lobbying for students' concerns today in Washington, D.C.
The chief point of discussion will be President Reagan's budget cuts for higher education.
"In addition to dropping graduate and professional students from the GSL (Guaranteed Student Loan) program, he also would eliminate funding for at least three other student aid programs." Tom Berger, executive coordinator of the KU Student Senate, wrote last week in a letter to the KU Student Senate.
Berger will be in Washington attending the National Student Lobbying Day, which Rep. Peter A. Deyner, P.N.Y., and member of the Congressional Committee to obtain students' views about Guaranteed Student Loans.
BERGER Said PEYER contacted KU's office of research, graduate studies and public services, then represented the university in representing the University of Kansas.
the other KU students in Washington, Rose Kue, Lawrence senior, and Pat McQueen, University City, Mo., junior, have been enrolling a United States conference since Thursday.
The USSA is also discussing Reagan's budget cuts and the possible dismantling of the school district of Education, Kuo said last week.
She said that March 1 had been designated National Student's Action Day as well as National Student Lobbying Day.
Berger said that both undergraduates students and graduate students should be concerned about budget cuts.
He said Reagan's proposed budget would eliminate Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants, which now serve 615,000 students nationally, National Direct Student Loans, which now provide federal capital to about 286,000 students nationwide, and the centive Grants, which now provide state-matched assistance to more than 300,000 students nationally.
THE ADMINISTRATION reported likely will seek a phase-out of the graduate fellowship program for minorities and women under Title IX of the Higher Education Act, and jobs as a result of a 27 percent reduction in the College Work-Study Program. Berger said.
Bergear said he would meet with other student representatives to discuss the budget cuts. He said he also would meet with Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan, and Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, R-Kan, and give them information about how the cuts would affect KU.
Local student groups already have expressed concern about the budget cuts.
The KU Student Senate voted Thursday to join the KU Graduate Student Council in exposing sections of the budget dealing with education loans.
The Associated Students of Kansas also voted to support a resolution submitted by the KU Graduate Student Council in opposition to the cuts at the ASK state legislative assembly Feb. 14.
Berger said 5,000 students from all over the country would be in Washington Monday.
Paddy Murphy Missing! Day 1, March 1
Paddy Murphy, infamous member of the S.A.E. fraternity, has been reported missing since Saturday night, said Lawrence Police. According to officer S. Winne, Paddy was last seen, obviously intoxicated outside one of the K.U. sororites. Elvira Fishbacker, Paddy's girlfriend said that she had left Paddy on all fours barking at the ants outside Hoch auditorium after Rock Chalk performances. "I was absolutely disgusted," said Elvira, "the whole thing was terribly informal, I'm so sure!" Another student reportedly witnessed a man staggering down Jayhawk Boulevard screaming, "Let's drink and be somebody" but he couldn't be positive it was Paddy. Several SAE's were awakened about four o'clock p.m. Sunday afternoon and questioned about the missing Murphy, but were indignant and refused to cooperate. Paddy's Mother was also questioned by Police, but she too was indignant, belching and making flatulent noises before slamming the door on officers O'Malley and Winne. Anyone with information leading to the recovery of Paddy Murphy is urged to keep it to themselves. Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity members are thinking about raising a reward, but probably will not. Paddy was last seen crawling down a manhole with a bottle of Listerine in his back pocket.

Although the Satellite Union is still increasing its sales, the amount of increase is not significant enough for it to become self-supporting. Warner Ferguson, associate director of the Kansas Union, said recently.
Not enough for self-support New Union increases sales
FERGUSON SAID the food service operation had been trying new menus.
THE KEY TO the Satellite Union becoming self-supporting, he said, would be its food service operation, and it would increase an 3.8 percent over last year.
Ferguson said that if the Satellite Union was self-supporting, it would work as a branch of the Kansas Union but would operate independently from
"We're currently experimenting with a new menu selection for the late afternoon and early evening hours," he said. "We've innovated a quite bit of compartment trying to find the right combination as far as hours and menu offerings."
He said that the Kansas Union Memorial Corporation Board, the board of directors who oversheared all of the Union operations, had hoped that the Satellite Union would be self-serving by now or in the foreseeable future.
Ferguson said that the Union board would have to consider the pros and cons of the Satellite Union at a future meeting.
The Satellite Union was established in August 1797 to serve the students who live on and near Daisy Hill.
He said that there were many things that could be done with the Satellite Union.
"We are reviewing several merchandizing concepts that perhaps might attract more traffic into that building," he said. "One thing we're going to do shortly is put up a sign at the Satellite building so it will have the official name that it rightfully deserves."
However, Ferguson said that for the Satellite Union's food operation to support itself, the increase in sales would have to be much higher.
"Without volume, there is only so much cost-cutting that can be achieved and still have the Satellite Union retain
adequate selection and service," Ferguson said.
One problem with becoming self-supporting is the increased operating costs. Ferguson said that the general building costs to operate the Satellite Union increased more than 28 percent since last year.
Ferguson said that one operation at the Satellite Union, the check-cashing counter, already supported itself.
"Although the sales volume at the Satellite's information counter was down and check casing fees were about the same, that particular area

has been successful in becoming self- supporting," he said.
"It has a good location, and the room in the basement can be used for a variety of activities," Ferguson said.
