Protesters to retain visibility
By a Kansan reporter
Students against apartheid yesterday picked in front of strong Hall to maintain their visibility on campus, a member of the KU Committee on South Africa said yesterday.
The committee member, Jana Ungerman, Lawrence senior, said demonstrators would picket in front of Strong every Wednesday.
About 15 members from the committee and Blacks Against Apartheid, carried signs that said, "Stand Against Apartheid" and Freedom is coming in South Africa. They formed a circle from no to 13:00 p.m.
"The pickets are to let people know the issue is still alive;" Ungerman said. "There are still people concerned about it."
Dan Parkinson, Scott City graduate student, said the pickets would be peaceful and continue through the winter months when it would be too cold to rally often.
The group chose to picket in front of Strong Hall because Chancellor Gene A. Budig's suite is there, Parkinson said.
"He needs to continue to be faced with the fact that he's in disagreement with us," he said.
Budget causes faculty, staff concern
KU officials invite Carlin to speak on relation of economy, education
By Mike Snider Of the Kansan staff
KU faculty members say they think cutting the University's budget is the wrong way for Gov. John Carlin to offset the state's revenue deficits, the University Senate Executive Committee chairman said yesterday.
To get their point across, University officials have invited Carlin to KU to hear their concerns. Carlin will speak next Thursday at 4 p.m. in Woodruff Auditorium of the Kansas Union. Carlin is expected to discuss economic development and higher education in his speech.
Last week, the state consensus revenue estimating group said that Kansas revenues over the next 18 months will be 1.33 million from earlier projections.
"It is a particularly crucial time to focus attention on the important interrelationship between economic development and a financially healthy University of Kansas," said Sidney Shapiro, SenEx chairman.
With the revenue shortfall, Carlin will be seeking strategies to combat it.
Carlin said that because of the shortfall, faculty members at Board of Regents universities and state agencies receive pay raises without tax hikes.
"Many faculty members felt it would be short-sighted, in the extreme, by cutting university budgets," he said.
If the University budget is cut, the state also loses, because economic
development would be hindered without strong learning institutions and wide-ranging research programs, Shapiro said.
Cutting the University's budget hurts KU because faculty members' salaries would be lower in comparison with other colleges across the country. That makes it harder to assessors to the University, Shapiro said.
"In the last three years, KU has lost 26 faculty members who had research projects that accounted for $6 million in research," Shapiro said.
Researchers at the KU have been successful in bringing millions of research dollars to the university.
During fiscal year 1979-84, KU faculty researchers brought $127 million of research financing into the state.
Also, economic activity stimulated by research creates nearly three times the revenue that was originally created, he said. That means the University generated about $60 million in research in the fiscal years of 1978-84.
He said the governor had spoken often in the last few years about education's role in increasing economic development.
"We want to give him a forum to speak about it," Shapiro said.

"It's going to be difficult to live without," he said. "It means there will be no salary increases for unclassified staff and a minimal increase for supplies and expenses — which are already underfunded."
Keith Nitcher, university director of business affairs said the University would suffer without the budget increase.

"We're not looking at an increase. The governor's budget will reflect a decrease for the Regents. There will probably be no salary increases."
A projected $133 million shortfall in state funds over the next 18 months would cause a virtual freeze on state support for the Board of Regents, the Regenss' executive officer said yesterday.

"The overall budget will probably stay at about the same level as this year," Stanley Koplik, the officer, said. "We can try to improve our prospects, but right now they're pretty grim."

Idahoan convicted in death of trooper
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo — David Tate, an alleged member of a white supremacist organization called The Order, was convicted of first-degree murder yesterday in the April shooting death of a Missouri state trooper.
Boone County Circuit Judge Frank Conley told the jury of six men and six women to return today for the penalty phase of the trial. The penalty phase is a minitrial in which jurors hear additional testimony and determine whether to recommend the death penalty to the judge, who hands down the formal sentence later.
The jury deliberated less than two hours before returning the guilty verdict that could lead to a death sentence. First-degree murder in Missouri carries a mandatory death sentence, and a parole with no chance of parole for 50 years.
About 100 spectators and reporters had packed the courtroom since the case went to jury early yesterday. In the early days, parents, were among the spectators.
Tate, 23, of Athol, Idaho, sat quietly in his chair with his hands folded on his lap as Conley read the verdict and watched without emotion as Conley polled each member of the jury.
Tate was convicted in the shooting death of Missouri Highway Patrol Trooper Jimmie Linegar, 31. Linegar and Trooper Allen D. Hines, 35, were shot with a silencer-equipped machine pistol after they stopped Tate's van in a routine traffic check in southern Missouri on April 15. Hines recovered and testified at Tate's trial.
Tate's van was later found to contain what authorities called an arsenal of weapons.
The same day Tate and 22 other alleged members of The Order were indicted by a federal grand jury in Seattle on racketing and conspiracy charges. Ten of those federal defendants are on trial in Seattle.
Defense and prosecution lawyers told the jury in closing arguments yesterday that the case hinged on the issue of premeditation. The defense said during jury selection Monday that it would not deny that Tate shot and killed Linegar.
Public Defender Patrick Deaton said yesterday that Tate had acted out of fear.
The prosecution, however, contended in its closing statement that Tate had time to think about his actions and knew what he was doing.
"David wasn't coolly reflecting. He was just getting more and more scared all the time," Deaton said of Tate's state of mind when he was stopped by the troopers.
"Fear of going to jail for a long time would make most of us scared," said Justus, who asked the jurors whether they thought that was enough justification to let him off for murder.
"The defendant was poised and ready to go," Prosecutor Jim Justus told the jurors. "His intentions and plans were already made. He decided on the 15th day of April I am not going to prison. I am going to kill those officers.'
The judge told jurors in his instructions that they could convict Tate of first-degree murder, which carries a possible death sentence, or second-degree murder, which is punishable by 10-30 years or life in prison.
The defense completed its case Tuesday with two witnesses — Tate's mother and a psychiatrist — after the doctor had called a total of 10 witnesses.
