KU to seek permission to spend extra fee money
By MARY CARTER Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas wants to spend nearly $700,000 in student fees generated by an unexpected increase in enrollment this school year, but it first needs permission from the Kansas delegates and the Kansas Legislature.
On Friday, KU officials will ask the Regents for authority to ask the Legislature for permission to spend $695,338 from the fees. The money would pay for academic equipment and supplies.
Also on Friday's agenda are plans to discuss a consulting team's recommendations for educational programs at Regents schools and an expected request from a Christian college in Emporia to grant bachelor's degrees in biblical studies.
KU budgeted for a decline in enrollment this fall. But nearly 700 more students than expected enrolled, and KU received more money in student fees than had been expected.
"WE BUDGETED FOR 23,750 students," Keith Nitcher, director of business affairs, said yesterday. "Instead, we had 24,436, or 686 more than expected, show up. We expect the same number in the spring semester. And we calculate that 686 students will pay to the University $695,538 more than we budgeted for, and we're asking for authority to put that money into the fee fund."
Similar situations have confronted the university before, but KU has had little success in persuading the
Legislature to change the spending limit.
"Our experience with this hasn't been too good." Nitcher said.
Marvin Burris, Regents associate director for budget, said he thought the Regents would approve the request, but he wasn't sure about the Legislature.
"THE LAST TIME they approved something like this was back in 1980 or 1981," Burris said.
Last spring, the Legislature set spending limits for the various funds that make up the University's budget, and Burris said he thought the legislators would argue against raising the limit.
Burris also said he thought one of the contentions would be that the school year would be nearly over by the time permission to use the money could be granted, so the University
would have only one or two months in which to spend it.
Nitcher said that if the Legislature didn't allow KU to spend the money, the money would be placed in a fund he is be carried over for fiscal year 1906.
THE REGENTS ALSO will discuss recommendations for educational programs at Regents schools that have the last month by a consulting team.
"The Legislature can then look back and say, 'Well, you had this much left over last year,'" he said.
Martine Hammond, Regents director of academic affairs, said the Regents would discuss the recommendations that required funding and changing or discontinuing existing degree programs.
Among those recommendations is a Center for Teaching Excellence at
KU. Hammond said the Regents would receive a plan for the center tomorrow.
Also tomorrow, the Regents are scheduled to hear a request from The Way College in Emporia for permissive bachelor's degrees in biblical studies.
The Way College is sponsored by the Way International, a fundamentalist Christian organization that offers religious education of the Bible and spiritual growth.
THE WAY COLLEGE first asked for permission to grant degrees in 1982. A Regents review committee suggested several changes, including that the school employ at least five full-time faculty members and two administrators with either master's or doctoral degrees.
The school employs a large adjunct faculty and uses a modular system of
classes. in a modular system students have only one or two classes, which meet for several hours each week, and then other classes begin weeks, and then other classes begin
The Way College offers two years of Bible and religion classes. Students attend other schools to meet "secular" or general education requirements, said the Rev Ross Tracy, dean of the college.
TRACY SAID DEGREE granting status would add credibility to the college.
"At the present time we can give a certificate only." he said
Referring to The Way students, he said, "We feel they have more than fulfilled the requirements, and in some cases have to do more than some schools require for a bachelor's degree."
Manhattan council to study Aggieville riot prevention
By United Press International
MANHATTAN — The Manhattan City Commission last night voted to form a task force to study how to prevent future incidents such as the near-riot by Kansas State University students early Sunday morning.
The task force also will study the long range effects of the Sunday incident in Agigieville, a section of town that contains taverns.
The council decided to appoint a task force after hearing suggestions
and proposals from university students, Aggieville merchants and Riley County Police.
Mayor Dave Fisher will appoint city officials, K-State students, police officers, high school students, university officials and Aggieville merchants to the task force.
In a related move yesterday, K-State president Duane Acker announced that a new policy prohibiting any type of container from the stadium will go into effect at this Saturday's homecoming football game.
