TOPEKA-The Kansas House Ways and Means Committee approved Thursday proposals for a 15 per cent increase in general operating expenses and a 10 per cent increase for faculty salaries in fiscal year 1978 at state colleges and universities.
The proposals, both supported by Gov-
man Daniel A. McConnell, will not be sent to the House for its approval.
The merit of the proposals' increases had been extensively questioned this week by
A committee member, Rep. John Carlin,
D-Smoklan, had made a motion Monday to reduce the increase for operating expenses in the department. Other sites that reduction would have waved out
about $190,000 of the proposed increase for KU.
The committee's vote was encouraging to the future of the proposals, said Del Dornell.
But committee chairman Wendall Lady R-Overland Park, said Thursday that the committee had voted to uphold Bennett's rule on the full raises. It was a voice vote, he said.
"There was no division called for," he said, "There was little opposition."
"I'm delighted," Shankel said. "It will help us immensely in maintaining our present position in paying for costs of supplies. I'm very pleased."
Shankel said that the opposition to the raises by some committee members
"I would be very, very surprised if they were chaned," he said.
"I think it was probably several questions addressed by several members," he said, "but I记ed them."
Carlin said the chances were very good for adoption of the proposals in their present form.
probably wasn't a direct attempt to reduce just KU's budget requests.
Carlin's motion to reduce the operating expenses to a 12 per cent raise was defeated when he delivered after that a motion supporting the full 10 per cent approval, along with a motion supporting the 19 per cent faculty pay raise. Carlin said his motion, then voted for both of the full raises.
He said that the questioning by committee members had been to get more specific
information about the requested increase for operating expenses.
University administrators spent Tuesday, and Wednesday getting information to the committee that would substantiate KU's request for a per cent raise for operating expenses.
"I think the committee wanted a little bit more detail on what was being requested,"
Shankel said inflation had caused dramatic price increases over the last 12 months.
As examples, Shankel said, current state contract prices for scientific teaching courses cost between 12 and 18 per year's prices. He said other increases were: laboratory supplies up 40 per cent; audiovisual ups 30 per cent; copy paper up 22 per cent; labelling up 25 per cent; and lumber up 13 per cent.
Senate approves appointments Committee on Committees report
By JIM BATES
Kansan Staff Reporter
The Student Senate wasted little time approving the Committee on Committees report Thursday night. In fact, the Senate met for less than 45 minutes.
In addition to approving the committee's report, the Senate approved two appointments, passed one bill and sent another to committee.
The Senate unanimously approved the appointment by Ed Rolfs, student body president, of John House, Lawrence second-year law student, as Senate treasurer. The president of Eric Meyer, Marion senior, as chairman of the University's public action board.
Rofs also announced the appointment of John Connors, Overland Park sophomore, as Senate public relations coordinator. This appointment didn't require Senate approval.
The committee also voted to accept Bennett's recommendation for increased support of $169.625 for women's in-
ternational colleges and the six state colleges and universities.
The Senate passed a bill submitted by Bill
KU prof challenges K-State bull
Another bill, which would allow campus living groups to publish their own yearbooks, was sent to the Communications Department for recording and cording to Dave Shapiro, Clayton, Mo., freshman who submitted the bill. Oliver also submitted such a yearbook but can't proceed without his permission.
Blessing, Senate parliamentarian. Blessing explained to the senators that the bill, which set limits on speaking time and set guidelines for speeches by nonsensemen, merely made present Senate procedures official.
Appointments by the Committee on Committees are:
Frank Young says he'll try anything once.
If ultimately approved, KU would receive $88,667 for its women's athletics department, an increase of about $30,000 over last year's state support.
The rodeo is sanctioned by the Intercollegiate Rodeo Association. Young said Thursday that the association involved Oklahoma, Bryanebrasa, Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas.
Young hasn't sat on a bull, or even a cow,
since he was eight years old. And he's seen a
woman standing in front of him.
Young will attempt to ride a bucking brahma bull.
Frank young says he'sn't anything else. Young, assistant professor of design, will co-host the Kansas State University. The rodeo is sponsored by the K-State Rodeo Club
But Saturday night, Young will compete against perhaps the best performers on the collegiate rope circuit, holding onto the bull with his arms, legs and a single rone.
Young said he considered the bucking brainstem the lesser of two evils. Clore had insisted that he should not be a victim.
"All I'm worried about is the bull," he said.
He said he was persuaded to compete in the rodeo by Bob Cloe, adviser to the K-State Rodeo Club who is doing graduate work in the department of design at the University of Kansas. Young said Cloe wanted him to participate as a publicity agent to present the event and to extend the rivalry between KU and K-state into rodeo competition.
Young may be pitied against a K-State professor, and possibly against two women from the K-State Rodeo Club. However, he was not concerned with the competition.
or a bucking bronze, he said, and be chose or a bucking bronze was "maybe a little closer to the ground."
Despite that possible advantage, Young said he knows the ride won't be easy. So why not?
Young said he had no idea how long he would be able to hold on to the bull. The limit for professional riders is eight. But when he was not worrying about the time limit.
"It's my philosophy that you ought to try everything once," he said, "And riding a bull is like anything else. I get on an airplane, and to a certain degree I have a fear that I may crash. And I'm always thankful 'get back on the ground.'
"When I'm on that ball, I'll be damn grateful to get off it."
"I'm an amateur," he said. "I'm likely to

Lawrence fires former deserter

ark in hitten
York, a former U.S. Army deserter who returned to the United States under President Ford's amnesty program, was fired Thursday by the city because of a technicality. He blames Wes Santee, a local insurance man, who, as representative of the federal officers' Assn., was the leader of the move to oust him from the federally funded job.
"If it hadn't been for Santee, this wouldn't have happened." York said Thursday.
Although Buford Watson, city manager,
the news of York's termination to him,
barned.
"Watson didn't really want to do it," York said.
Watson said, "I have talked to Mr. York and he has resigned effective next Wednesday."
Santee denied that he had anything personal against York.
Jenny Howey, Prairie Village freshman said, "it's fun. It's better than a bar."
"I have no desire to enter into any personal debate with him. It's nothing personal on my part," Santee said. "I was asked to make the presentation to the city com-munity. A lot of people could have done it, but I wasn't picked. I am happy to accept the blame."
Junior Elder, Kansas Selective Service director, who had previously approved of York's employment by the city, said York's eligibility for his $2.69 an hour job with the
Work's job was partially funded by the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of 1973 (CETA), a federal employment opportunity program. President Ford's amnesty plan doesn't allow York to seek a job in a competitive market.

Elder said that he previously considered the CEITA program to be exempt from this regulation.
"We were responsible. Elder said, "We be Lawrence that the CETA program was an integral part of our lives."
"We are prevented from letting a returnee (in the amnesty program) be employed if there are more qualified applicants than jobs available," Elder said. Elder said that he previously considered the CETA program to be exempt from this
But the U.S. Department of Labor ruled that there was competition for jobs in the CETA program in Lawrence and that men in the amnesty program aren't eligible for CETA employment under those conditions. York was thus invisible.
Elder and James Bush, a manpower planning division official, discussed the York case with Watson Wednesday. A letter to the governor was received by city officials Thursday.
York's job with the city ends March 26. The state Selective Service office still has the responsibility of finding another job for him.
Streakers run, grin and bare it
Sharon Anderson, Marion freshman, said, "I was having more fun watching the people watching the streakers than watching the streakers."

At least 40 men and three women clad in little more than sneakers raced along the drive behind Spencer Library as about 3,000 people cheered.

The events began shortly before 11 p.m. when three male men raced up the steps behind the Campanile. Their arrival at the camp was greeted with applause, laughter and cheers.
"If it wasn't for socialization, it would be cool," Bill Rhodes, Morran freshman and streaker, said. "It's no big deal. You shouldn't be ashamed of the human body."
"This had been the most exciting evening of my week!" Peggy Poreniker, Kansas City
Keryl Chemp, Hill City sophomore, said, "I don't always ugly bodies that went streaking were hurt."
Ralph Foiles, Overland Park freshman,
said, "It beats studying chemistry."
Sue Tramel, Lenexa sophomore, said,
"It's fun but not as a bid a last year.
"Where is Miller Hall?" another asked. Miller Hall, a women's scholarship hall, met in regular meeting Thursday and discussed the streaking issue. Some members of the hall, aced around Chancellor Archie Dvies' house Monday.
"So far as I know, and I'm the one who's in a position to be an intermediary, there has been no official repercussion from the group. The assistant, resident director of Miller Hall, said.
"Most of the male population at the University of Kansas hasn't reached university age."
Marie Faust, president of Miller Hall,
refused to comment on the meeting.
The Kansan, however, learned that a representative of the office of the dean of women spoke with hall members Thursday afternoon about streaking.
One member of the hall, however, said the office of the de., who had acted within its rights. She also said that a majority of the hall felt that the streaking reports were greatly exaggerated and didn't represent the feeling of the entire hall.
Both Kala Mays Stup, dean of women, and Pam Horn, assistant to the dean of women.
When the day's work was done, however,
things were certain; both streaking and
twirling.
