ASK says lobby efforts depend on KU students
By COLLEEN CACY Staff Reporter
The success of the legislative lobbying efforts of the Associated Students of Kansas will depend largely on KU and UW. The student director of ASK, said last night.
“ASK is going to live or die by what happens at the University of Kansas,” Tallman said at a KU Student Senate hearing. “I will tell you before they look at anyone else.
ASK is a student lobbying group based in Topeka, with members from seven campuses.
Tallman said most students never considered that their tuition increases began in the Kansas Legislature.
"Tutition is really a user's tax," he said. "It goes to the state general fund. Last year, there was a tuition increase that last summer, it went largely for property tax relief."
HE ENCOURAGED students to write letters to their legislators asking for University budget increases.
"Just by your going in and making a good, clear, logical case on why we need these things would be enough to make legislators do something," he

operating expenses and more state support for higher enrollment.
Tallman said the figures were based on the Board of Regents' requests.
Gov. John Carlin's recommendation for KU were a 10 percent faculty salary increase and a 6 percent increase in operating expenses.
Carlin's recommendations were split between an actual 8.75 percent increase for all faculty members and an extra 10 percent increase for 'critical' cases.
TALLMAN SAID he hoped those areas would include engineering, business, accounting and computer programming.
"I'm glad the governor recommended the 10 percent, but it may be deceptive," he said. "He's giving and then he's taking away."
He was referring to Carlin's decrease in KU's enrollment adjustment because of a slight decline in enrolment in 1981. The governor's method of adjustment did not account for an enrolment increase in the fall of 1980.
Carlin also increased the shrinkage figure, which is deducted from the salary level, by $2.6 million, compared to ASK's request of $500,000.

KU utilities rise above estimated costs
The University of Kansas may not have enough to pay this year's utility bill, but KU officials are uncertain about the actual shortage.
"At this point, I'd say we have the money to pay the bills for the next few months," Keith Nitcher, university director of business affairs, said yesterday.
However, because this year's budget was based on last year's expenditures, predictions about the future are futile, Nitcher said.

"We operate on what we estimated costs to be last year," he said. "It's just another case of funding problems. It's all straightforward."
"Weather is one of the variables here," Perkins said. "For example, if the weather is mild from here on out, the costs could go down."
during the 1973-74 fiscal year, the University paid only 41 cents per thousand cubic foot for natural gas. As of Dec. 31, 1981, however, the school had purchased in natural gas at costs of $3.82 per thousand cubic foot, Perkins said.

Funding problems for fiscal year 1982, which runs from July 1, 1981, to June 30, 1982, were affected by a number of things, said Richard Perkins, associate director of utility management for facilities operations.

"The Legislature supplied $821,200 in additional money for us last year." Nicher said. "It they weren't enough money, they may not be enough this year."
