The money will be used for programming and staff costs, Meigs said. KANU is a public radio station serving the Lawrence area.
Panel seeks enrollment ideas
The Enrollment Study Committee is soliciting written comments from students, faculty members and administrators on the strengths and weaknesses of the academic advising and enrollment programs.
Brower Burchill, committee chairman and associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, said suggestions about procedures and policies also would be accepted.
Burchill said people proposing changes should remember that the University probably would not abandon computer equipment at the beginning of each semester.
Comments should be sent to Burchill at the Office of Academic Affairs, 127 Strong Hall.

Emporia State to get center's service branch
By MARY CARTER Staff Reporter
TOPERA — An education service branch of the proposed Center for Excellence in Education should be established at Emporia and decided by a Group of Regents decided Friday in a split vote.
Friday's vote was 54- Wendell Lady, Regents chairman, deciding vote to stay in office only if a 70 percent majority.
The Regents later will decide where to locate the research branch of the Center for Research.
Several Regents said they thought the Regents were rushing the decision on the Center for Excellence so that the Center would be included in the budget Gov. John Carlin will present to the Kansas Legislature in January.
FORMER CHANCELOR ARCHIE Dykes, who is a Regent, said, "There's a good chance that whatever we decide to do won't be funded by the Legislature anyway."
Regents John G. Montgomery and Norman Brandeberry said they weren't sure they understood the concept and purpose of the proposed Center for Excellence. Bran-
In September, a team of consultants recommended to the Regents that a Center for Excellence in Education be established to aid in education research in Kansas and the dissemination of the research findings. The center will be established at the University of Kansas.
deberay said that he wasn't sure a Center for Excellence was needed.
THE PLAN WAS designed to help Emporia State through hard financial times. Because of declining enrollment, Emporia State must absorb a $1.1 million permanent budget cut.
In October, Regents staff proposed that the Center for Excellence be divided into a research branch at KU and a service branch at Emporia State.
Lady said Friday he favored giving Emporia State a month to come up with a plan for operating the service center before the Regents voted, but Dykes said the Regents needed to act immediately "so that Emporia State can get on with its business."
"What I don't want to do is hold this carrot out in front of Emporia State and the press and then all of a sudden not do anything." Dykes said.
Chancellor Gene A. Budig on Friday told the Regents he supported putting the
research component of the center at KU.
"SHOULD THIS BOARD elect to establish a research component, I believe it should be located at the University of Kansas, where there is a nationally known research library, with a staff of researchers and a number of doctoral students and a highly productive research faculty," he said.
In the same vote, the Regents allowed Emporia State to keep seven of 12 graduate liberal arts programs but rejected a Regents committee recommendation to grant the school permission to teach graduate education courses in Kansas City.
Regent Patricia Caruthers said she thought the Regents would be violating their own policy if they allowed Emporia State to offer programs outside its geographical area. The Regents in 1980 adopted a policy of restricting the school to those which each Regents school is allowed to teach.
The Center for Excellence and Emporia State's program cuts originally were sepaKa
THE REGENTS COUNCIL, of Presidents and the Council of Chief Academic officers Thursday recommended that the Center for Research be modeled after the University Press of Kansas.
Under their plan, the Center for Excellence would not be divided. Research and service projects would be conducted on all Regents campuses and on other state campuses, administered through one office and overseen by a governing board. The presidents could not agree on a site for the administrative office.
A Regents subcommittee earlier had suggested that Emporia State work to focus almost entirely on teacher education and cut 13 graduate programs in its College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. In return, a service branch of the Center for Excellence would be established at Emporia State.
That plan came under fire because the subcommittee that devised it met during the summer without notifying the public of the meetings.
Emporia State officials said that the Regents were trying to railroad the program cuts through without giving faculty members administrators a chance to voice their opinions.
Two Kansas newspaper editors asked Attorney General Robert T. Stephan to investigate whether the subcommittee had violated the state open meetings law.

ASK concedes drinking age issue
Staff Reporter
By JOHN HANNA
Instead, the acting campus director and the chairman of an ASK committee said yesterday the organization would lobby for a change in the impact of a higher drinking age for students.
Because of a new federal law, the Associated Students of Kansas will not lobby for keeping the legal drinking age for 3.2 beer during past sessions of the Kansas Legislature.
"We discussed it in depth," Sandra Bunyan, acting KU ASK campus director, said of the decision.
THIS SUMMER, PRESIDENT Reagan signed a bill that would force states to raise legal drinking ages to 21 or lose federal highway funds.
Members of ASK's Legislative Assembly and its six committees meet in Pittsburgh on Saturday to set the group's lobbying
"Everyone agrees that the age itself is moot at this point," she said.
priorities for the 1985 session of the Kansas Legislature, which opens in January.
The six Regents universities and Washburn University in Topeka make up ASK, a nonpartisan, statewide, student lobbying organization.
Staci Feldman, chairman of ASK's Social Issues Committee, said ASK was still philosophically opposed to raising the minimum wage and keeping it at 11 was politically impossible.
This spring, Feldman said, ASK would work for alcohol awareness programs and grandfather clauses, which would allow those who are now between the ages of 18 and
LAST YEAR, A bill to raise the legal drinking age for 3.2 beer passed a committee of the Kansas House of Representatives, but it was never brought to the floor for a vote.
The organization also favors allowing 18- to 21-year-olds to serve alcohol in restaurants and to work at places that sell alcohol. "What we want to do is to protect student
Another priority on ASK's list of legislative issues is getting more money from the Legislature for universities to use for research and growing library space and computer facilities.
ASK WILL ALSO lobby the Legislature for increases in money for scholarship programs aimed at keeping Kansas students in the state and an increase in the fee waiver for graduate teaching assistants.
Binyon said ASK also would work to get money from the Legislature for more hours and more jobs in university work-study programs, which is for an increase in wages in such programs.
"I think we'll probably get some increases that will go in a positive way toward our financial goals." Binyon said. "I think we'll have a positive outcome."
"What we want to do is to protect student jobs," she said.
Feldman also said the organization would address the problem of campus safety on all campuses, with the possible goal of seeking money for increased lighting from the Legislature.
Cold snap brings area snow, rain
From Staff and Wire Reports
Jack Frost nipped at a few noses yesterday in Lawrence as snow flurries mixed with rain fell on the city early in the morning
Yesterday's high temperature in Lawrence was 38 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
The high today is expected to be in the upper 30s with mostly cloudy skies. In the afternoon, the clouds should disappear, bringing sunny skies. The National Weather Service has predicted a chance of snow flurries tonight.
Tonight should be clear and cold with lows in the lower 20s or upper teens. Tuesday is expected to be sunny with a high in the low to mid-40s.
A combination of a low pressure system over Lousiana and an upper air disturbance in Oklahoma has caused the cold, snowy rainy conditions in Kansas, said Paul Frantz, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
But Thanksgiving Day will bring higher temperatures. The high in Lawrence should be in the mid-$s, with a chance of showers.
Frantz told the southeastern quarter of Kansas was in a travelers' advisory last week.
At least five inches of snow fell on Wichita,
catching many motorists by surprise.
"We've had our share of problems, a dispatcher for the Wichita police department who was involved in the death."
On Saturday night, a stockmen's advisory was issued for southwest and north central Kansas due to rain, wind and low temperatures that placed stress on livestock.
Rain slick roads contributed to four traffic deaths this weekend in Arkansas and Ohio.
In Arkansas, one man was killed and four people were injured in a head-on collision Saturday on a wet highway in Scott County, and a 19-year-old woman was thrown from one car and struck by another yesterday on a rain-slick state highway.
Two people were killed in auto accidents in Oklahoma Saturday. A sliding car hit a trailer-truck head-on, killing the car's driver, and a woman was killed when the pickup truck she was riding in hit a bridge and overturned in a creek.
Meanwhile, snow fell across portions of Missouri and Illinois and stretched into Indiana and western Ohio this weekend. Two inches fell on northeast Missouri and a traveler's 'advisory' was posted. Two inches fell at Kirkville, Mo., and one inch fell at St Louis, Quincy and Springfield, Ill., and Indianapolis.
