"There is a major supplement appropriation coming in for it," he said. "We didn't appropriate enough for it last year, and more students signed up."
This program grants scholarships to medical students at the KU College of Health Sciences in Kansas City, Kan., as an incentive to practice medicine in Kansas after they graduate.
The Legislature almost killed the program during its last session.
The trip will also be a chance for legislators and administrators to get to know each other, Hirsch.
"We want to hear from the new chancellor on his campus," he said. "A lot of the members of the Ways and Means Committee have not actually met with him."
The legislators also want to discuss some issues that will come up when the Legislature passes a bill.
These issues include faculty salaries and whether administrators should pay to use them.
"We also wanted to talk about the whole issue of lost good faculty members because of pay,"
Faculty salary raises are expected to be a significant issue during the coming legislative
"That's the big question of the hour," Hess said. "We know what the Regents have
The Kansas Board of Regents is asking the Legislature for a 13 percent faculty salary increase, but Hess said it was a rare situation when the Regents, the governor and the Legislature all agreed on how large the raise should be.
"It's likely the legislature will go along with the governor," Hess said. "We mustn't see it as a plague."
"I'm hoping he recommends more than he did
for me, but I expect 10 percent, or
expect 13 percent."
Last year, Gov. Carlin recommended an 8 percent increase in faculty salaries, but the Legislature approved an increase of only 7 percent.
Hess said that there was no set agenda for their visit, but that it was up to the chancellor to arrange.
"We'll tell them. 'Are there some things we're interested in, but it's your three hours; tell us what they are.'"
Chancellor Gene A. Budig said he just found out about the visit last Saturday and had not yet heard from him.
Budig said he wanted to include some professors and students in the tour.
"It would be my intention to elect elected Senate and the classified Senate and the student body," Buddy Peltz said.
Authorities investigate drowning of 33 Haitians
By United Press International
MIAMI—Officers of the "mother ship" of a sailboat that capsized near the coast of Halliburton Beach, drowning 33 Haitians, could be charged for their if they are ever caught, authorities say.
Officials said yesterday they did not yet know which ship dropped the refugees near the Florida coast in a rickety sailboat. However, they were certain the Haitians did not make the trip from their homeland in the sailboat, as survivors of the trapped have insisted.
Thirty-three Haitians, including two pregnant women, drowned Monday when their 30-foot sailboat capsized in rough waters off an exclusive area of Hillsboro beach.
Thirty-four others, who either knew how to breathe or simply enough to be tused ashore by waves, survived.
Murrell said the only exception to the law would be if a non-immigrating student alien were on board.
A freighter called the "Amelia," which radiated the Coast Guard for assistance, was searched at Port Canavalor by officials from the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Immigration and Naturalization Service for clues to whether it had been carrying the Haitians. Coast Guard Petty Officer Sean Smith said it had not been the shin.
However, Dr. Donald Wright, Broward County medical examiner, said last night he had discussed with other officials the possibility of a court-mandated search for evidence that could link it to the tragedy.
Murrell said. None of the students have returned the letters with the certificates to Murrell, though he said he delivered them to the students Oct. 1.
"There is a good possibility that any evidence board could be destroyed." Wright said. "But if the evidence is still available, then I would have

Wright said the Haitian survivors might lie about their experiences because "they have to be very careful for the lives of their families and that sort of thing."

The only way a student can stay in public housing is to sign the certificate by Monday,
