1984 a profitable year, KUAC reports
By BRENDA STOCKMAN Staff Reporter
Fiscal year 1964 was financially the best year in the last four for the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation, the KUAC treasurer said yesterday.
Susan Wachter, the business director, said at the KUAC meeting yesterday that although the corporation had made a $227,000 profit in fiscal 1984, fiscal 1985 did not look as promising.
The corporation made a profit even though it financed three projects. a
computer system, a new parking lot beside Memorial Stadium and part of a new softball field — that had not been included in the original budget, she said.
THE FISCAL 1984 surplus may not be repeated in fiscal 1985. Wachter said. Last year at this time, the corporation was projected to break even. Projected expenses are ex- ceded. A $548 higher than this year's income.
But that projection will be altered when the University of Kansas receives its share of the Big Eight Conference's revenues, she said.
And although the overall income is
short of projected expenses, the rate of donations to the Williams Fund, which solicits donations for the athletic department, has increased.
Bob Frederick, director of the fund, said the fund had collected $460,633 so far this year, $86,000 more than at it had this time last year.
ALSO AT THE MEETING, members of the KUAC board commented Mike Gottfried, head football coach, for benching two players for curfew violations. The board did not discuss the specifics of the violations.
Robert Mimbs and Richard Estell, Kansas City, Kan., sophomores, were benched the last two games.
Gottfried said yesterday that he hadn't decided whether they would play Saturday.
John Patterson, KUAC treasurer and University comproller, said Gottfried's action was commendable because he had stood up for the principles of intercollegiate athletics and KUAC's long-range plan.
Anthony Redwood, KUAC chairman and professor of business, said Monday the profit from fiscal year 1984 would help begin the $500,000 reserve fund called for by the plan, which was adopted by the board in August.
Faces could barely be seen as about 20 students, some of them armed with flashlights, walked the area last night. They were there to make a point — that they thought the campus was too dark.
"I think you could walk anywhere and there would be a problem," said William Easley, student body presidential candidate for the Frontier region. Other other coalition members followed him on last night's walk.

An inky darkness envelopes the trees around Potter Lake. The only light comes from a nearby blue phone and the Campanile, about 100 yards away.
"Too often, campus lighting has come up, but nothing has been done about it until something bad happens," said Charles Lawhorn, vice presidential candidate for Moments University to learn. They shouldn't be afraid of getting attacked on the way to class."
Lawhorn said they would ask students to approve an increase in the $24 student activity fee that
Lawhorn and Mark "Gilligan" Sump, Momentum presidential candidate, said that if elected they might call for a referendum to have students help pay for increased campus lighting.
Candidates favor more campus lights
students pay at the beginning of each semester. The extra revenue would help pay off bonds, to finance the lighting.
"You can see GSP, and the parking lots are lit up." Easley said during last night's walk. "But the problem is getting there."
EASLEY AND JEFF Polack, Frontier vice presidential candidate, said that they would make campus lighting a part of a safety package that could include an escort service, buses that ran until 12:30 a.m. and more blue phones.
"Rather than light the whole campus, the idea is to create corridors of light where they are most needed," Lawhorn said.
Both coalitions said that they would try to get money for lighting from the administration, alumni and

The candidates for both coalitions said they did not know how much campus lighting would cost, but it could cost several million dollars.

"IMPLEMENTING A comprehensive campus lighting plan is not cheap." he said.
Polack and Easley said they could not estimate how much their safety package would cost until they saw the plan.
The candidates said they were waiting for the results of a lightning study conducted by Ronald Helms, professor of architecture and urban design. The study is expected to be completed in about four weeks.
