ASK council to request financing
Bv Jennifer Schultz
Kansan staff writer
The Associated Students of Kansas policy council met this weekend in Pittsburg to discuss lobbying strategies for higher education and support the Board of Reengents and the Legislature.
Mike Schreiner, student body president, said the ASK policy council decided to ask the Legislature to approve a bill.
Schreiner said the YES program received $50 a year and mostly was financed through the US government.
The purpose of the program is to assist state educational institutions in establishing programs which provide financial assistance or academic credit to students in return for service to children who are academically, socially or economically at risk.
He said they had been working with the Legislature, Education Planning Committee in an attempt to get them to approve his plan.
"It was decided this was a reasonable amount to
go for." he said.
Carl Ring, ASK voter registration coordinator, said that ASK also was working on establishing a statewide scholarship program which would be based entirely upon academic achievement.
"The scholarship is an effort to retain the highest achieving Kansas students," he said.
Ring said that although no definite policy statements were resolved this weekend, the council had made a decision to continue.
He said that ASK discussed the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act of 1965, which set up a higher education financing system and is being reevaluated by Congress.
ASK wants to develop and lobby on specifi- aspects of the act, such as Pell grants. Ring said
Greg Hughes, ASK director, said that ASK needed to take a stance on the act so it could go to Washington and represent Kansas student concerns.
Ring said policy council members also discussed the graduate teaching assistant fee waiver, state funding and accreditation.
The Margin was the Board of Regents three-year plan to bring the total financing of its seven institutions to 95 percent of their peer schools and to bring faculty salaries to 100 percent of their peers. The Legislature financed the first two years but not the third.
"Right now we are in the preliminary phases of strategy," he said.
He said strategies included driver letters and gathering background on the political figures who were involved in the debate.
The policy council meets every month, Ring said.
The policy council is responsible for developing policy positions for ASK. Members of the policy council include four students from each of the Regents schools.
He said that ASK was working statewide toward improving higher education through voter registration drives and conducting an ASK visibility week at each of the Regent schools.
The University of Kansas will be conducting its visibility Week Nov 26, - 30, Ring said.
House votes to limit mailings to constituents
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The House voted yesterday to limit the amount of mail each member can send constituents and to force them to disclose how much tax money each spends on postage.
Lawmakers also decided by oral
vote to cut a total of $42 million from the v2.2 billion spending bill that pays for the operations of Congress, increases in staff salary accounts.
With the popularity of Congress at a new low and elections just 16 days away, the gestures were seen as an
effort to shoulder a share of the budget-cutting responsibility.
Their hypersensitivity about spending money on themselves even led members to spend a good part of the day debating whether to spend $500,000 on modular furniture and $350,000 to renovate the House beauty
shop. The furniture was nixed, the beauty shop left in.
Despite appearances that the House was cutting its own spending, the compromise limits on mailing were set high enough that they would not affect most members of the House.
