KU's Budget Is Undergoing A Complicated Processing
The wheels of the bureaucratic budgetary process grind exceedingly fine, and into what form the current 13 million dollar KU budget will be ground is not foreseeable.
A budget for an institution of higher learning such as KU must follow a five-step gamut of committees, boards and individuals.
1. A request for a budget originates at the administrative level of the institution concerned. After the administrators arrive at a budget which they believe is needed to run their institution, they forward it to the State Board of Regents for their recommendation.
2. The State Board of Regents reviews the budget and attempts to fit the individual institutions' requests into an over-all budget request for state institutions. Requests are modified into a minimal budget which is necessary to run the institutions for a fiscal year. Available amounts of state resources are considered.
3. The regents' requests are then forwarded to a budget hearing committee headed by the state budget director where it is reviewed prior to being sent to the governor.
At this point the budget is further modified to bring it into harmony with funds available (or believed available) in the state. This is a joint meeting of the regents and the budget director's staff. In some instances individual budgets are believed adequate and further modification is deemed unnecessary.
4. The budget is forwarded to the governor, reviewed and amended
Band Director To Be Honored
Russell L. Wiley will be honored for his 25 years as KU's band director at the KU-Oklahoma State football game Saturday.
A $2,500 band scholarship fund has been established in his name.
The check will be presented to Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy at game half-time by Saul Kass of Kansas City, Mo.
Mr. Kass; Eugene Morgan, Kansas City, Mo., and Paul Smart, Lawrence, were in charge of the committee which raised the money for the scholarship fund.
The men were members of Prof. Wiley's first KU band in 1934.
Prof. Wiley will receive a scroll listing the names of his former students and of the scholarship contributors.
After the ceremony, the KU band will present a western show featuring an Indian dance club from the Haskell Indian Institute.
with the modifications he deems necessary.
$500 Award Given To Accounting Student
5. The governor then prepares a formal budget for all institutions which is given to the legislature for its consideration.
Robert Crawford, Salina senior, was awarded $500 recently at an Accounting Society meeting.
A luncheon honoring Prof. Wiley will be in the Kansas Union before the football game. Former and present band members have been invited.
In the legislature the individual bills receive a complex hearing as follows:
Crawford was selected for the award on the basis of his grades and probable success in the field of public accounting.
The award was given by the Haskin and Sells Public Accounting firm.
The senate refers the bills to a ways and means committee (which may or may not appoint a sub-committee). From the ways and means committee the bills are sent back to the Senate for a vote. If passed they are forwarded to the House of Representatives.
The process in the House is essentially the same as in the Senate. After being passed by the House, the bills are sent back to the senate where another vote is taken. If the Senate does not approve the House's bills, a committee is formed to work out a compromise.

AL LAUTER
When a compromise is reached the bills are immediately sent to the governor for his signature. They may be vetoed at this time, necessitating further legislative processing.
The KU budget request being sought by the regents is for approximately $13,168,000. This figure includes:
- A seven per cent increase in salaries, making a total of $8,916,758.
- $30,000 in seasonal help, primarily during the growing season, for buildings and grounds.
- WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Russia has protested to the United States, and other western powers against a proposal to set up a West German radio transmission station in the allied-held sector of Berlin.
- $25,000 more in student help,
particularly in operation of the
physical plant.
- An increase of $100,000 over the present $300,000 for general research funds.
- $60,000 for a start in the Language Culture Centers for Russian and East Asian Studies.
- $30,000 in utilities for the Snow Hall addition, the Nuclear Reactor Building and the Kansas Union Building.
Russia Protests Against Radio Station
The Soviet Union accused the United States, Britain, France and Western Germany of "fanning up the cold war" and demanded that they take "appropriate measures to preclude such unlawful action."

Concordia Family Abducted; Released
Weaver's Notion Shop Street Floor
CONCORDIA — (UPI)— Frank Baldwin, prominent Concordia attorney, his wife and daughters were kidnapped early today by a man who threatened to "blow their brains out," but later released them unharmed.
Contestants must be natives of Kansas and attending KU on a fulltime basis. "Kansas-Symbol of American Progress" is the subject for all orations. Tryouts will be five-minute extemporaneous speeches on the subject.
Several hours later officers arrested James Robert Williams, 25, an airman from Schilling Air Force Base, Salina. They said he admitted abducting the Baldwins and forcing Baldwin to accompany him in the robbery of a filling station.
Representatives from colleges and universities in the state will participate in the contest, which is sponsored by the Native Sons and Daughters of Kansas.
After robbing the Boyd Oil Co. Station of about $100, the bandit released the Baldwins at the north edge of the city and fled north on U.S. 81.
The first prize is a $50 U.S. Savings Bond.
Oratory Contest Tryouts Slated
Tryouts for the State Oratory Contest will be held at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Strong Auditorium, Joseph C. Rhea, instructor in speech and drama, announced today.
The final contest will be held Jan. 15, 1960, before the Topeka Optimist Club in the Hotel Jayhawk in Topeka.
"Since the Kansas Centennial Celebration will be held in 1961, it is likely that the winning oration in the state contest will receive statewide publicity and national recognition as a part of the Centennial celebration literature," Prof. Rhea said.
