Nichols Outlines Budget Program
LAUN
"The University budget is unlike that of many other agencies in that it is operated strictly on a cash basis," Raymond F. Nichols, executive secretary of the University told faculty members at noon yesterday.
"This means we can's spend more than we have as do other concerns," he said. "We can't issue tax warrants, borrow funds or have a reserve fund, so we always know exactly how much we can spend."
MR. NICHOLS spoke at the year's first Faculty Forum scheduled for every Tuesday noon in the English Room of the Kansas Union.
The educational budget totals $13 million excluding auxiliary enterprises, athletic association and the Kansas Union. The state Legislature has appropriated $9.3 million, student fees account for $2 million and earnings and grants (restricted)

fees) $2.3 million. The self-supporting and sustaining activities (not included in the total figure) add another $3 million.
In assessing the operating expenditures, Mr. Nichols explained that resident instruction salaries (including summer session) is over one-half of the budget or $6.8 million.
ORGANIZED RESEARCH costs $2.4 million, extension and public services $1 million, library service $733.236 and plant operation $1.6 million.
Mr. Nichols said the budget goes through five steps before it is approved. The report to the state Budget Director compares costs for four years; the past two years, the present and the next year.
"The first step is the action of the Board of Regents," he said. The Board lays down the guide rules in the spring for budgetary requests, that is, how much we can have and what additions or increases we can expect."
The next step is the preparation, by the University, of the Legislative Document for submission to the state Director of Budgets. This is a breakdown, school by school and activity by activity, of all expenditures and financial requirements.
THE STATE Budget department then goes over it, approves or modifies it and automatically shrinks the salary requests two per cent on the theory this will be the percentage of savings during the year caused by vacated posts or positions filled on temporary bases.
"This year we must achieve a shrinkage of $714,000." Mr. Nichols said. "Following legislative action, our Central Budget Commission, through a series of conferences with department heads starting in February, recommends to the Chancellor the allocation of this new money.
It then goes to the Board of Regents for approval. It is now a detailed working budget.
Mr. Nichols—introduced as "KU's indispensable man" by James E. Gunn, administrative assistant for University relations—concluded his address and asked for questions.
IN ANSWER to the question of the effect of the enlarged enrollment this fall on the current budget, Mr. Nichols said this is being met by employing a larger staff and increasing the size of classes.
He was asked if an increase in student fees is being contemplated.
"No, the fees are regulated by the Board of Regents and Kansas students need not expect a change in the near future," he answered. "There is a philosophical question involved here. If you raise the fees, many deserving and able students will be restricted from attending college."
VOX POPULI—Officers at last night's meeting are seated left to right, Theodore Childers, Wamego junior, treasurer; Jack Roberts, Kansas City junior, president; Marilyn White, Prairie Village junior, secretary, and Jack Dunbar, Agency, Mo., senior, vice president.

The Prohibitionist candidate for governor of Kansas will be the speaker for the first Minority Opinion Forum to be held at 4 p.m. Friday in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union
THE PROHIBITION State Platform has been published in the Kansas Voter's Guide for 1960.

Several of the party principles are:

LAWRENCE, KANSAS
4. A system to get two or three times as many students in our high schools, colleges and universities without an extensive building program.
1. A speed limit for juveniles.
5. The censorship of public school books to guard against use of communist propaganda.
"The PURPOSE of the minority forum is to stimulate thought and give the holders of minority opinions a chance to speak before a college audience," Clifford Ketzel, assistant professor of political science, said. The forum is an attempt to enlarge the market place for ideas outside the classroom, he said.
The minority forum will alternate once a month on every fourth Friday with the Current Events Forum. It is sponsored by the SUA. Prof. Ketzel, Breon Mitchell, Salina freshman and Mary Jo Burke, Topeka senior, constitute the committee which will select the minority speakers.
6. No Social Welfare to a parent living common-law or loose. Children should be taken from them and adopted out or placed in an institution.
7. We believe that Prohibition is the best method of dealing with the traffic in intoxicating liquors.
In comparison to the Current
"We are looking for controversy and not dodging opinions. No topics are taboo as long as an honest presentation within the limits of good taste is given," Prof. Ketzel said.
Events Forum which presents both sides of an issue the Minority Opinion Forum will present only the side which the speaker favors.
STUDENTS who feel they are in the minority on some issue and can make an acceptable presentation are welcome to speak at the forum, Mr. Ketzel said.
Minority opinions may include those of persons against student government, segregation and interscholastic sports, Prof. Ketzel said.
THE MINORITY Opinion Committee would like to have a pacifist from Kansas City speak at the next f. um.
The format for the forum allows the speaker approximately 30 minutes to give his opinion. The remainder of the time students will have an opportunity to ask questions and debate with the speaker on his stand.
- Vox advocates an investigation of the merits of reserved student seating at athletic contests.
- Vox recommends action be taken to improve outdoor lighting to and from women's residence areas and the campus.
The entire platform was presented, discussed and approved in a little over 30 minutes.
The section that brought the greatest amount of discussion was the one that supported looking into the possibilities of reserved seating at athletic events.
ROBERTS DID not have a specific plan of how this reserved seating plan would be carried out. He suggested writing to other schools who had reserved seating and get ideas from them.
he said that plans for seating will be worked out and submitted to the ASC.
Roberts pointed out that the section dealing with improved outdoor lighting leading to women's residence halls was not copied from recent Daily Kansan stories. A discussion on the floor led to the conclusion that insufficient lighting was a campus problem and Vox would endeavor to alleviate it.

Martin Luther King To State Prison
DECATUR, Ga.—(UPI)—Negro integration leader Martin Luther King was taken to a state prison before dawn today to begin serving a four month sentence on a traffic violation. But his attorneys argued before the judge who sentenced him that the court action was in excess of the statutory limitation.
King received the four months jail sentence, longest in his career as an anti-segregation leader, yesterday when County Judge J. Oscar Mitchell said King's participation in a sit-down demonstration at an Atlanta department store violated a suspended sentence for a traffic violation.
Attorney Donald Hollowell said the original 12 months suspended sentence was six months over the statutory limitation for having no driver's license.
Atlanta Mayor William B. Hartsfield said his office is being flooded with telegrams from all over the country, including one from Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, protesting the sentence.
