A House Ways and Means subcommittee met yesterday with KU administrators, warning them to tighten their belts and set up for upcoming state budget hearings.
The three-member subcommittee, assigned to review KU's budget with the administration, held the meeting after three proposed campus renovation projects.
Calling the discussion frank and honest, State Rep. David Heinemann, R-Garden City, chairman of the subcommittee, said he told the administrators that the Kansas Legislature had tough budget decisions to make.
"We have to cut back," Heinemann said.
"But we will try to cut areas that won't cause erros."
Another member of the committee, State Rep J.E.Talley, R-Wichita, said University administrators would establish a list of priorities. The subcommittee and administrators are to meet in about a week to discuss the list. Talley said.
THE KANSAS BOARD of Regents had asked for $225 million for the University of Kansas. In his budget message, Gov. John Carlin suggested that the Legislature allocate $115,419 to KU. Budget hearings on the requests are to begin in two weeks.
While expressing satisfaction with the meeting, the administrators who attended the meeting were satisfied.
"They're asking a lot of tough questions," the faculty representative to the meeting, I. said. "They're asking a lot of tough questions."
"But the questions give us an idea of what to expect in the budget hearings."
Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor,
said he thought the meeting was a success.
"THEY GAVE us a very sympathetic
HEYING." Shankel said. "They showed us a
look at me."
Richard Von Ende, executive secretary of the University, said the tours helped the university "understand the culture."
Before the meeting, the legislators toured Lindley and Marvin halls and Spooner Museum. The buildings are targeted for the University in the "budget request."
"In making the budget requests you can only write down a few descriptive paragraphs," Von Ende said. "This visit will opportunity to see more for themselves."
Explosion . . .

Charles Rea, farm manager, said the machinery building, built in the 1930s, was once used as an hour dormitory, but now it is used to store machinery, feed and fertilizer.
about 2,500 acres in both Kansas and Missouri, is used to raise crops and livestock and is operated by inmates from the penitentiary's minimum security section. Between 42 and 55 inmates are bused from the main penitentiary area each day.
At the time of the explosion, Rea said,
there were 20 inmates and five guards at
the farm—nine people were inside and one man
was outside.
Rick Seiter, executive assistant to the warden, said the explosion came 15 minutes before the men were to leave for lunch at the Leavenworth complex.
After the explosion, guards at the farm
radiated for help and then began to search the debris until a team of about 20 inmates and guards arrived and began the rescue operation.
Prison officials said one of the dead inmates was Cantrell Blair, 27, of Chicago. Blair, who was the only inmate ever to receive a KU scholarship, had said he hoped to complete an undergraduate degree at KU when he was released from prison. Blair was dead on arrival at the Munson Army Base at Fort Leavenworth yesterday afternoon.
The injured inmates were: William DeLong, who was being treated at the prison hospital for a broken heel, and Andrew C. Payne, who was taken by Army helicopter to the University of Kansas Medical Center, where he was in critical condition with head injuries.
The injured guards were: Frank Radcliff.

Blair had said his lack of education and other factors in his background led him to the conclusion.
other young people. I want to tour this country and talk to them. I think if they realize how important education is to them, teach whatever else they're doing on their own.
"My environment, my neighborhood and having my mother handicapped—there were several things that drove me to it," he said.
Uncle Milty files appeal
The owner of Uncle Milte's Cafe, 2246 Barker, Ave., filed an appeal yesterday of the city's decision to revoke his license to sell 3.2 beer.
Milton Collins, owner of the tavern, also is asking for an injunction against the city, pending the appeal in Douglas County District Court.
The city commission revoked Collins' cereal malt beverage license last week after resident areas and officials of Haskell Indian Junior College complained about fighting near the tavern and expressed concern about pedestrian safety on 23rd Street.
The injunction request is to be heard tomorrow in Douglas County District Court.
Cellins based his appeal on grounds that the decision to revoke his license was "unreasonable."
Collins said of the commissioners' action,
They had no right whatsoever. They did it on
consensus.
Uncle Milly's was open yesterday, but was not serving beer. The license revocation was on April 15.

Blair was raised in a Chicago neighborhood that in 1968 was torn by race riots. He dropped out of high school after 10th grade and worked as a dishwasher for a while. After the restaurant closed, he drifted from job to job.
BLAIR SAID the 1968 race rips inspired his interest in political science and poetry. He wrote poetry and read, educating himself in many subjects.
In prison, he worked as a storeroom clerk for $10 a month and took classes.
Blair was determined to get an education and improve his life. Spoellerberg said.
"His main interest was getting done with his time and getting on with his life," Spellerberg said. "He rose above the surroundings of that prison and got on with his education. What dominated his being was beginning again."

The budget review by the subcommittee is routine, according to Heinemann. Threeman subcommittees are assigned by the Ways and Means Committee to each state university to help prepare the school's budget presentations.
HENEMANN SAID that members of the subcommittees, rather than remaining impartial, often became the proponents of the school's requests during budget budgeting.
Heinemann said he had been a member of the Fort Hays State University subcommittee and that he fought for and got appropriations for the university last year.
Heinemann said it was too early to tell how KU would fare in the budget hearings, but he attacked formula funding, the main funder of this year to future their budget requests.
"I could see that Fort Hays was getting the short end of the stick," he said. "So while other schools got 7 percent faculty pay increases, Fort Hays got 8 percent."
Formula funding uses the financial status and needs of peer schools as a basis for budget requests. Peer schools are those with similar sizes of enrollments and programs.
"Where as in the past, funding has been based on head count, it seems that with university enrollment peaking or decreasing, the schools are changing the rules so they are always on the plus side in asking for money," he said.
"That has caused a lot of legislators to ask questions about the system," he said. "So I don't think the Legislature is ready to accept formula funding yet."
