government says, 'We want a cure for cancer.'"
The government's bias toward applied study, she said, overlooks the fact that applied research relies on earlier developments in basic research.
"Basic research is the backbone of the technological explosion. But the federal government no longer gives it much support."
Further complicating KU research grant problems, she said, is a growing lack of government interest in training programs.
"We had major programs to train scientists in the 1960s, she said. But now the government has decided that we no longer need that kind of manpower in the world."
HALLENBECK SAID the direct costs of research, such as salaries and equipment required to build the building. But the University must absorb part of the indirect costs, including rent, utilities and overheads.
KU offsets the indirect costs, she said,
iy adding 34 percent of the direct costs to
the total grant request. The 34 percent rate was agreed to in negotiations between KU and HEW.
"The negotiation process is arbitrary." Hallenbeck said, "and there's no guarantee that the rate will pay for all costs."
KU'S RESEARCH office helps researchers prepare about 700 proposals for grants each year, she said. About 60 percent of the requests from KU researchers are granted.
Part of the indirect costs are not always paid by the private agencies that award research grants. In these cases, the office of research, graduate studies and public service must decide whether the project is worth the cost for the faculty to pick on the costs. Hallback said
The University of Kansas keeps legislators in Washington informed of its research needs through its participation in the National Association of State Universities. Dr. DeWitt said that American Association of Universities, said Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor.
Shankel also said KU kept. Kansas congressmen informed of the University's research needs.

"I'm just making enough to pay my rent, utilities and taxes," she said.
Bill Underwood, owner of Underwood Retail Lauqar, 1215 W. Sixth, in the bigger stores would not lower their prices.
UNDERWOOD, who lobbed several years for the franchising act, said competition would be beneficial as long as each business practiced fair business methods.
"I own one of the larger liquor stores," he said. "I'm not going to cut prices and run everyone out of business."
"Small liquor stores have survived in Kansas City, Mo., and Missouri is a franchised state."
Underwood said prices would depend on the interpretation of the court ruling.
"There is no way at this point to know. We all know what the judge said, but we don't know the judge's interpretation."
"The judge did not say franchise, per so,
was unconstitutional. He said exclusive
franchise was unconstitutional."
"10 guess what the prices will do would be a supposition."
Assembly approves curricula changes
More than 100 curricular changes were approved by the Liberal Arts and Sciences College Assembly in its first meeting of the 1979-80 session.
Included were 20 changes in graduate courses and 87 changes in undergraduate courses.
Five changes in degree requirements for graduate students also were approved by the assembly.
The changes had been proposed by various departments within the College and had been approved by both the assembly's Committee on Graduate Studies and the Committee on Undergraduate Studies and the Committee on Tern Carwell, the secretary's assembly.
The assembly will meet again at 4 p.m. Oct. 4 in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.

KU funding doubtful for education center
A U.S. Senate report has warned that the University of Arkansas will not receive funding for construction of a continuing education center, although KU already has received federal funds to plan it.
Last week, the office of Rep. Larry Winn-R.Kan, announced that the Department of Health, Education and Welfare had finally allocated $233,000 to KU for Phase 2 planning of the demonstration center, which would bring the continuing education programs in place to the planning of continuing education programs at other colleges and universities.
The $233,000 is the University's portion of $900,000 in federal funds allocated for the planning of centers at KU, the University of Washington and Old Dominion University in
The Senate report, however, cautioned the three universities that: "The provision of these centers is not a substitute will subsequently provide funds for the construction of these three centers. Once the centers are constructed and operating, the university will consider the program needs of these centers."

Law School sets officer elections
Those students who wish to run for president, vice president or secretary-treasurer should sign the roster in the conference room on Friday, Sept. 7. No fee is required.
Only first-year law students may vote in the election.
Rosie O'Leary, president of the second year class, will be in charge of speech scheduling.
Candidates will present speeches at 12:30 p.m., Sept. 10 in Room 104 of Green Hall, Markowitz said.
ALLEN WIECHEK, University director of facilities planning, said the actual construction would be based on architectural and engineering specifications, which would be drawn up during the Phase 2.
By the end of Phase 2, he said, the University would be at the bidding point. But the University would not be able to bid without federal funds.
Howard Walker, retired dean of continuing education, who said he "hatched the idea" of the demonstration center, said he felt that his work would receive federal construction funds.
Walker said the warning in the Senate report was a formality.
Wiechert said he thought Congress did not want to promise the construction funds until the economic climate improved or stabilized. HE SAID HE was very optimistic that KU would succeed.
He also said that because KU had received funding for Phase 2, it was likely that construction funds would be granted, too.
The University received $83,400 two years ago for Phase 1 planning, which included drawing up a building concept, drawing plans, and estimating and estimating usage. Weebert said.
"Phase 3 would be to ask if HEW would find construction of the project." he said.
Each of the three demonstration centers would offer different concepts of how continuing education should be delivered to the public, Wieckert said.
"Other institutions can then look at these ways of continuing education and possibly use them as prototypes." he said.
WALKER SAID the KU center, which would be built north of the Kansas Union, would make it possible for "professionals from all walks of life" to attend and plan a needed college-level course.
The center would have its own cooking and sleeping facilities. Walker said.
The primary purpose of a continuing education demonstration center would be to further the life-long learning process, he said.
"The notion of being graduated once and for all, and that's all there is to it, is out of date."
Wiechert said he did not know when the $233,000 grant would arrive at KU.
