KU Budget Hearing Set
Ways And Means Group To Hear Murphy, Nichols
KU administrators will have a hearing with the Ways and Means Committee of the State Legislature next month to present their budget requests.
Raymond F. Nichols, executive secretary of the University said he and Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy will meet with the committee. The budget session of the Legislature convenes Jan. 14.
The regents recommended that 40 more faculty members be added at KU next year to meet the increased enrollment, but the budget division recommended only 22.
McDill Boyd of Phillipsburg and vice chairman of the Board of Regents, said in the board's conference with the governor last week that it would do calculable damage to the University and colleges if the raises are not granted.
The regents requested a total KU budget of $33,358,787, but the budget division of the state, under the governor's recommendations, suggested $31,117,373. It is now up to the Legislature to pass the budget legislation.
Sen. August Lauterbach (R-Colby), chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, said last week he will be glad to hear the chancellor and college presidents present their requests to his committee.
The state Board of Regents recommended a 5 per cent increase in faculty salaries at KU and other sate colleges, but Gov. George Docking said he would not request this increase.

Think When You Drive
(Editor's note: This is the second in a series of articles about winter campus driving conditions.)
By DOUGLAS PARKER
(Of The Daily Kansan Staff)
The campus police, who make their living seeing that traffic moves smoothly, offer this advice before you even move your car in the winter; Think.
How to get on the campus and then how to drive safely are problems often confronting student motorists during the winter months.
Some Roads Are Blocked
Chief Joe Skillman said recently that in bad weather it sometimes becomes necessary to block off some roads, and before a driver starts for the campus he should realize that some streets may not be accessible.
"The west approaches to the campus under rough weather conditions are considered the best."
The City Helps
Chief Skillman said, "and 12th and 14th streets are not good approaches."
For clearing streets and sidewalks, the department of building and grounds has a grader, two tractors with brooms, another small tractor grader and a sand spreader.
Often the southwest approach on Naismith Drive is a good road in the winter, he said, but if any doubt arises in the mind of the driver, it would pay to go a few blocks more and come to the campus from the west.
Chief Skillman said, "The graders and snow brooms are used immediately and sand is put on intersections and hills as quickly as possible after a storm. Also the city sands city streets approaching the campus."
He said parking spaces are sometimes shut off, but usually are cleared as fast as the streets. A person should drive at a rate of speed that wouldn't cause any
"Once you slam down on the brakes and you start sliding, it may throw your car out of control."
emergency braking. he said. When a person brakes his car he should take short light pumps on his brakes instead of one hard thrust, he said.
'Don't Slam Brakes'
When moving the car from a stop, a person should never race the motor, he said. "It will heat your tires and melt the ice and you'll never move."
The car should be started slowly in low gear, and shifted quickly into second gear after the car is moving, he said.
When going downhill the driver should make sure his car is under control, and then slip into a lower gear that will give the car braking action, he said.
"The guy who doesn't have his defroster working and doesn't have his tire chains in place, is considered a hazard in bad weather," Chief Skillman said.
