Winter, Branson pace House campaign funding
TOPEKA-Aided by broad-based support from numerous political action committees, Wint Winter Jr. leads all state House candidates in the Lawrence area in contributions and spen-
Winter has collected $7,700 and drawn strong support from several Topea-based PACs in his first attempt to win a political office. The figures reported yesterday by the Secretary of State's office.
The Kansas Bankers Association PAC and the Kansas Realators Association PAC, both of Topka, were the largest donors to Winter's bankers. The realators gave $400, and the bankers added $300.
The 44th District attracted the most financial interest in the area. Jessie Branson, Winter's Democratic candidate and also a political novice, held a town hall meeting on February 8, 141, 30, the second highest total in the area.
The third and final pre-election campaign reports were due yesterday for all candidates in the state of Kansas. Another report is required after Tuesday's election.
INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT for Winter was large, and campaign receipt and expenditure reports showed 14 individual contributions of $100 or more.
Branson's report showed strong support from individuals involved in nursing home reforms
and improved care for the elderly. One person, Ann Cercf of Lawrence, contributed $500 to the Branson campaign. Cercf is an official with the Improvement of Nursing Homes Association.
Branson also listed support from a few KU staff members and showed a $23 contribution from Robert Docking, former four-term governor of Kansas.
The 45th District followed the 44th in contributions and spending, as challenger K宁 Snyder, a Republican, raised and spent $1,000 more than the incumbent, Democrat John Solbach.
Snyder, a part-time KU student and full-time real estate agent, was popular with the Kansas Realtors Association PAC and received $700 from it. The PAC of Kansas, for the Association of Commerce and Industry, added $300 to Snyder's fund.
Sobach had a wider variety of PAC contributors. The largest were $200.
Snyder spent more on his campaign than both candidates combined in the 46th District raised. Willie Amison, the Republican challenger, the smallest amount of the three local Houses races.
BETTY JO CHARLTON, the Democratic incarnation, raised just $27.30 for her campaign.
In the 2nd District Senate race, estimated figures from incumbent Democrat Arnold Berman showed him at $12,000 in contributions. Jane Eldredge, the Republican challenger, reported $9,369 in contributions. Berman's official report was not available yesterday.

Professor explains Title IX complaint
Rv BRAD STERTZ
Staff Reporter
Elizabeth Banks, a former member of the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation, said last night that significant inequities in funding for men's and women's athletics led her to file a complaint accusing the University of violating Title IX guidelines.
The speech, which was part of the Women's Week series sponsored by the Commission on the Status of Women, was Bank's first public discussion of the Title IX complaint.
Banks filed her complaint with a separate complaint filed earlier by Anne Levinson, a former KU student, in July 1978. The women filed the complaints when the three-year compliance period following the establishment of Title IX had expired.
TITLE IX is a federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in education.
"As a part of my job with the old Women's Athletics Advisory Board and with the KUAC, I was reviewing both programs' budgets; Banks said. 'In doing so, we did theift women's men's budget and women's budget so staggering that I felt compelled to file a complaint."
"TO ACTUALLY FILE the complaint was easy. All it entailed was stating where inequities between the men's and women's programs existed.
"However, when people ask me about having an attorney and the lawsuit against the University, it is quite inaccurate. All I did was file a complaint with the Kansas City
In her complaint, Banks cited the University's position on funding for women's sports to the level of non-revenue men's sports as violations of Title IX. She also cited a lack of commitment to equal scholarships, inadequate fund allocations and comparable academic advising for the women's programs as violations of the guidelines.

in the area of unequal spending for
scholarships, women's programs were given
a promise by the Athletic Board that
the school would accept payments with
the men's non-revenues." Banks said.
In a series of comparisons, she said, it was found that men's non-revenue sports received $1,543 a person, while women's programs received $1,305 a person. With the football program included, the difference was even greater.
Banks said the paradox was that the Williams Fund, which provides scholarship funds, has a greater burden of the additional burden of the women's athletic program as a pitch to increase donations.
Elizabeth Banks, associate professor of classics and a former member of the Kansas University Athletic Corporation, discussed the inequalities between men's and women's sports programs. She spoke about federal guidelines under Title IX of the Department of Education during a lecture last night in the Kansas Union.
BUT THEN, SHE said, the administrators of the fund said they had a responsibility to the donors to give the money to the sport it wants to win. In a programograma without access to much of the money

discrepancy between men's and women's sports.
A real change in the way the program is currently run must come from the top, Banks said.
She said she thought the chancellor should instruct the athletic director to achieve equality in men's and women's sports.

Pre-enrollment petition sent back to committee
Staff Reporter
By DIANE SWANSON
Staff Reporter
The petition, which suggests that pre-enrollment could extend advising time, cut Kansas Union Bookstore losses, cut residence hall expenses and create a more equitable enrolment system, was referred back to the Senate Academic Affairs Committee.
The Student Senate heard arguments for and against implementing pre-enrollment at the University of Kansas last night, but the Senate still was unable to vote decisively on a petition urging the chancellor to initiate a pre-enrollment system.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, and Lawrence Sherr, professor of business, agreed that pre-enrollment would eliminate some of the current enrollment
MIKI GORDON, engineering senator and Senate executive secretary, said he would like the committee to define some of the different ways it can be available and suggest which system it would prefer.
"I would like to know what effects the different systems would have on students," he said. "Will a less expensive system leave students with less flexibility?"
Sherr said, however, that he could not justify
the cost of a pre-enrolment system. He said the advantages did not outweigh the costs.
Although Ambler favors instituting a pre-enrollment program at KU, he agreed with Sherrn that it would not be a panacea for all enrollment problems.
"It will not eliminate 7:30 and 3:30 classes."
"Aller said, "It is a tool - a management tofor it."
A computerized pre-enrolment system could cost as much as $50,000. Sherr said, according to the company, the costs of enrolling are less.
However, Ambler said the University had the equipment needed for an optical-scanner system to test the airframe.

Sherr said he was pleased the petition had been referred back to the committee.
"I do not want a lot of money spent," he said.
"I don't think the students can make a decision until they see specific plans and are happy with the cost and the pre-enrollment policy."
Sherl said he thought the money that would be spent on a pre-enrollment system could be spent more wisely on resources for teaching and research at the University.
In other action, the Senate defeated a resolution to reject the report. See COMMITTEE FEATURES.
KU-Wichita State football suggested in sports resolution
The resolution, which passed unanimously, recommended that the University of Tulsa be dropped from KU's schedule next year and replaced by Wichita State.
By MIKE ROBINSON Staff Reporter
The Student Senate Sports Committee last night approved a resolution supporting the scheduling of a football game between the University of Kansas and Wichita State University.
Bv MIKE ROBINSON
After next season, the decision to schedule a KU-Wichita State game should be made each year, according to the resolution.
The resolution was not an attempt to "second guess" Head Coach Don Fambrough or Bob Marcum, athletic director, said Matt Keenan.
chairman of the committee and author of the resolution.
KEENAN SAID THE resolution was only an expression of student opinion to the athletic administration. It now will go to the Senate for approval.
A similar resolution was passed by the Wichita State Student Senate earlier this year. A letter also was sent to the KU Senate as a challenge to respond to the idea.
Significant public support for the game, saving on travel expenses and keeping revenue within the state were cited in the resolution as justifications for a KU-Wichita State game.
An original clause that called for scheduling on a multiyear basis was amended when committee member Jeff Evans said it would be harmful to KU in the long run.
Evans said that although such games could See SENATE page 5
