Turf Proposal Good, Says Dykes
The Student Senate's proposal to use $180,000 to install a tartan turf track in Allen Field House is an excellent recom-
mendation for encircled Archie R. Dyves sand yesterday.
Although the chancellor hasn't decided to accept or reject the senate proposal, he is expected to make a decision soon.
One of the main conditions for using the money for field house improvements would be to insure that the field house be available to all students, Dykes said.
The money was collected from student activities fees before 1866 and was earned during the school year.
Postage Costs To Rise at KU
Dykes said student activities fees should
Like most other commodities, stamps will cost more in 1974 than they did in 1973.
Beginning Jan. 5, postage for a first-class letter will cost ten cents - an increase of two cents over the present rate.
The increased postage rates will represent a substantial investment for the University of Kansas, which spent over $22,000 for postage during fiscal year 1973, according to Keith L. Nichter, vice chancellor of business affairs.
If the University sends out as much mail this fiscal year it a did last year, more than an additional $63,000 would be required for postage.
Only part of the total money allocated for postage comes out of the general use budget, said Nitcher. The general use budget includes money allocated to the University by the state legislature and money collected from student fees.
About $142,000 from the general use budget were spent on passage last year. The 25 per cent postage cost increase will raise that amount to more than $177,000.
Nitcher said the increased mailing costs would have to be absorbed by the budget unless additional funds were provided by the legislature. He said he saw little possibility of supplemental funds from the legislature.
John L. Conard, director of University Records, said his office would reduce some mailing and would "be careful to mail all records in the second-class mail under our second-class permit."
Conard said the Office of University Relations and the KU News Bureau would meet on Wednesday.
be used for recreational purposes rather than for academic facilities. Part of the costs for Wescoe Hall and the new Watkins Building are being paid from student activities fees.
Because the money was earmarked for recreational purposes, Dykes said he felt there was no reason to do that.
Some senators said they thought that if the University spent money for recreational purposes, legislators, who would be asked to increase the University budget in January, would think KU's financial condition wasn't good enough. The Kansas Board of Regents has endorsed
Dykes disagreed with this viewpoint. He said there was a need for improved recreational facilities at the field house because of the great demand for Robinson Park. But the historic wetland aesthetic floor would make the field house more usable for intramural sports, he said.
Athletic Director Clyde Walker said he would try to find the remaining $120,000 that would be installed in the dorm. Dylan Jones of Service District Walker could raise the money.

Walker said last night he would try to raise the money from private donations. He said he planned to start a campaign in January to ask for contributions from alumni, friends of the University and the athletic department.
