costs caused by increased enrollment. He said that without the additional money there would be a decline in the quality of academic programs.
The University requested an additional $77,500 to cover increased telephone costs for fiscal 1981. KU needs the added money because of a Southwestern Bell rate increase that went into effect in February. Carlin criticized KU's phone expenditures, citing abuse of the state's reduced-rate long distance phone system, known as KANS-A-N.
"KU is the biggest violator of KANS-A-N Line use," Carlin said. "There is between $8,000 to $8,000 a month extra billing that doesn't need to happen."
Shankel agreed with Carlin and said steps were being taken to correct the problem.
Carlin said that people were dialing long telephone calls directly rather than using the KANS-A-N system.
"We're tracing the calls to the offending departments and will take the appropriate action."
KU officials also said that the area known as the operating expenses" was a high priority budget.
Richard Von Ende, university executive secretary, said a 9 percent increase was

necessary because of inflation. However, Ahren recommended only a 5 percent increase.
A Regents' request for an 8.1 percent increase in student wages to the $3.58 minimum wage at Walgreens is underway.
Shankel also stressed the need for a 100 percent fee waiver for graduate students. He said the waiver was necessary to "attract the best teachers in our program" and help them to take teaching assistant positions."
Other requests defended by KU officials included:
- A CLASSIFIED SALARY increase request for $49.83 to cover costs incurred by a new merit pay plan. Carlin's budget director pared the recommendation to $655.75.
- A request of $318.034 for the development of a Tertiary Oil Recovery Project to study oil recovery processes that could be used in Kansas.
- A request of $65,999 for the development of a bachelor of science in toxicology degree program at KU. Ahren did not include the request in his recommendations.
- The University of Kansas Medical Center's request of $1.2 million budget for fiscal 2018.
"This is something Senate has considered before, and is not something that should be voted on by the small minority that is here tonight," Cunningham said.
Although the petition could come before the new Senate, Cunningham said he thought it would die at this point.
Senate
From page 1
IN OTHER ACTION, the Senate passed a resolution recommending the department of health, physical education and recreation to hold a session on recreation time in Robinson Center during the day.
A resolution supporting an intercollegiate football game between Wichita State University and the University of Kansas also passed last night.
Matt Keenan, Liberal Arts and Sciences senator and co-chairman of the Senate Sports Committee, said that the demand for recreational time still exceeded the time and capacity during the day. He said it was especially hard for racquetball players to find empty courts.
Keenan said when he first received a resolution from Wichita State urging the game, he had not considered it. After a story appeared in the Kansan, however, he said he received a
number of phone calls from students interested in such a game, and so wrote on the resolution.
"We are not trying to dictate to the athletic department," Keenan said. "This resolution is simply to express student interest in such a game."
Keenan said it was too late to schedule a game for next year but a game could be scheduled for 10am.
Bob Marcum, KU athletic director, said last week that he was not opposed to playing Wichita State, but that he was not going to break the 1981 contract to schedule the game next season.
THE FINAL BILL considered and passed last night amended the Senate rules and regulations to make the Athletic Board a sub-unit of the Senate. The Senate was an independent Senate standing committee.
Mark Holloway, co-chairman of the Sports Committee, said it would enhance communication between the two groups and help them operate more efficiently.
Four students and either the director or assistant director of athletics sit on the board. It establishes the seating plan for basketball and football games, subject to approval of the Senate, and sets the price of student tickets in consultation with the athletics director.
During final roll call last night, Ron Heape, a
graduate student senator, was applauded for being the only senator with perfect attendance
Hesape said he had not realized he had made it to all the meetings.

The next Senate session will meet Dec. 2 between the old and new Senators.

When reached by phone last night Carline Valentine said that she was Daniella Valentine's daughter.
"I know for a fact that Darnell is not using anybody's card credit now," Valentine said. Darnell is such an honest guy that if he ever did talk to somebody, his calls he was told by somebody that it was OK."
She said that the K.J. Valentine residence was the home of her parents.
None of the players could be reached for comment last night.
Kansan reporters Ed Hiseck and Tim Sharp assisted in research for this story.
