"We feel 12 percent is too high given the information we have now." said Debbie Stark, council president and a member of the California Advisory Board. "We want to see how the figures are arrived at."
The advisory board met yesterday to discuss contract negotiations.
THE COUNCIL, WHICH Tuesday rejected the third and
"The 12 percent figure is my estimate based on my experience and knowledge of daily utility estimates, the 12 percent estimate those rates." Wilson said
HALL RESIDENTS WILL be charged 4 percent more in the contract for food expenses that aren't actually incurred. The rebates are put into hall maintenance funds.
In another contract item, residents at Sellards and Douthart halls said they did not think the 4 percent increase for food was worth it. Both halls have not spent their entire food allowances and have
J. J. Wilson, director of housing, said at the meeting that he would present a memo with figures supporting the 12 percent utility rate increase at next week's advisory board meeting.
The food increase affects six of the eight scholarship halls. Watkins and Miller halls are exempt from the food increase because food is not included in hall contracts.

KU alumni rate school favorably
More than 800 alumni responding to a recent survey rated their education from the University of Kansas as "good" or "excellent."
The 1984 Survey of Alumni of the University of Kansas — conducted by the Central Research Corporation, of Topeka, was financed by the University of Kansas Alumni Association and the future students of the Kansas University Endowment Association Long-range Planning Committee.
Fred Williams, executive director of the Alumni Association, said the survey was the first study of alumni attitudes in 35 years.
"We were very pleased with the survey," he said. "I was something that people
done, and we wanted an outside source to conduct it to add validity to the result."
The questionnaires were mailed to 3,000 randomly selected alumni in April Twenty-eight percent, or 848, of alumni selected, responded to the survey.
In a prepared statement, Chancellor
Burdig said the figures did not
in surprise.
"A commitment to quality has always distinguished KU." Budg said. "We delighted to see this team reaffirmed by the survey."
The Alumni Association and the Endowment Association will use the survey to evaluate their programs. Williams said.
"We're going to take a long hard look at the survey," he said. "We'll try to see what we're doing right and where we need to improve."
Sixty percent of the respondents said that good instructors or academic programs were the "most liked" feature of the years they spent at KU, 36 percent noted the atmosphere of the campus, and 22 percent noted friendships with other students.
The respondents were asked to select the five aspects of the university that were of greatest continuing excellence was selected by 89 percent.
Of the people responding to the survey, 56 percent were men, and 44 percent were women.
Bunten's office use looked at
By United Press International
Neil Woerman, Stephan's press aide, said yesterday that the attorney general's decision to look into the charges did not imply he considered them valid. State Rep Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka and Shawnee County Democratic chairman, last week requested an official inquiry.
TOPEKA — Attorney General Robert Stephan is expected to wrap up an investigation this week into charges that 11-term State Rep Bill Bunten, R-Topeka, misused his office.
Hensley referred to a letter written by Bunten in which he threatened to block legislation that the Metropolitan Topeka airport Authority might continue to pressure him or the agency continued to pressure him for payment of an overdue bill.
Bunten, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, admitted writing the letter and that it was an error in judgment. He said that he was under pressure at the time because his company was having serious financial problems.
Bunten met with Stephan on Tuesday to discuss the investigation. Hensley also asked Stephan to determine whether Bunten's use of legislative stationary was misuse of public funds; whether letters to the mayor were received by the secretary, whether Bunten ran his business from his legislative office; and whether letters to the MTAA were addressed at public expense.
