Vol. 85-No.109 Thursday, March 20,1975
The University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas
By YAEL ABOUHALKAH Kansan Staff Reporter
Some members of the Kansas House ways and Means Committee are suggesting a cut of about $180,000 in the University of Kansas's annual operating expenses for fiscal 1976.
University administrators said Wednesday that they had supplied the committee with documentation for the University's request for a 15 per cent increase from fiscal 1975 in general operating expenses.
The increase in operating expenses has already been approved by the Kansas Board of Regents and by Gov. Robert Bennett.
Del Shakel, executive vice chancellor,
said a vote by the committee on the 15 per-
cent increase could come today. However,
he prolonged discussion could delay the vote.
He said he hadn't received any feedback from the committee on the way the vote might turn out. But he said that was probably because committee members hadn't had enough time to study the curriculum the University had provided them.
Keith Nitcher, vice candleman for business affairs, said the University had given the committee documentation on the causes of inflation on the University's operations.
Rep. John Carlin, D-Smolan, said discussion of possible cuts in operating
expenses at Kansas' six state supported universities and started Monday.
He said there were members of the committee who were only asking questions
"We're just making sure that if the increase comes out with the Ways and Means approval, it will be a strong endorsement," Carlin said. "We're just telling facts."
Carlin said the procedures being followed by the committee were routine actions. He
said the committee wanted to be sure that the requests were adequately substantiated.
Cuts are also being considered for the other higher educational institutions, Carlin said. He is a member of a subcommittee in Kansas State University increase request.
Both Nicher and Shankel said that inflation had made a big dent in KU's operating budget this year. That dent, they would, be laid at least partially repaired by
a 15 per cent increase in operating expenses.
"We think a 15 per cent increase is more than justified." Nitcher said.
He said inflation had increased the price of almost everything the University had to buy in 1975. He said all indications were thatward spiral in spending would continue.
"All kinds of material it takes to operate the University have gone up and, up," he

4 candidates criticize proposed garage site
Four city commission candidates spoke out strongly Wednesday against the proposed location of the city garage. Robert Radcliffe and John Colyer, Jr. said the issue would need more study if it was still alive when the new commission took over.

Carl Milbeck, Donald Binns, Margie Argerstinger and Dale Wille strongly opposed locating the garage in a residential area. Milbeck said he would favor resurrecting the issue if District judge W. Faddock ruled in favor of the city.
Willey said he would like to see a larger and more modern facility in the future, but that the city probably didn't need it now. A larger airport, he said, is necessary to the growth of Lawrence and should be funded by a user fee of some type.
The candidates also discussed the commercialization of 3rd and 6th streets. They mentioned anything could be done about businesses already established by commission should review site proposals more carefully. Radcliffe and Binns are among the firms showing businesses to locate in commercial areas.
Binns disagreed, saying the city could be selective about the kinds of businesses that were brought into the area, regardless of property owners.
That decision is expected soon. Mayor Jack Rose said that if the decision was in the city's favor the present commission holds a special meeting to set a bid date.
Radcliffe then he favored the property owner. The city, he said, has no right to tell business developers who are willing to work both time and money where they can build.
Arngersinger said the city policy didn't interfere with a business once a site plan had been finalized.
Argerising and Colyer both said the new commission should prevent commercialization on 23rd west of Iowa to preserve the planned Clinton Parkway
The candidates agreed that the present comprehensive plan should be followed to determine the zoning of west Sixth.
"I think it might become annual," one streaker from Miller Hall said. "I thought it might be a fat, but having nervous energy was the way I ran, running around naked on camus is fun."

Five of the candidates said they would favor a user fee to support the construction of a new airport in Lawrence.

"I think the n-w commission should look loosely after a site plan is approved," she said.
However, Mrs. Dykes said she had been unaware of the prank.
The candidates answered questions from about 60 persons in a meeting sponsored by the committee.
"We were there," one female streaker said, "We did it."
"Well, if they were, I didn't see them," she said. "here all evening and I did not see anyone."
"It's hard to run without a bra," she said.
"I's extremely difficult. I don't know if it's hard to run without a jock . . . but it's difficult without a bra."
"I'm not in shape to go around Jayhawk Boulevard and back," she said. "I run out of balloons."
Milbuck said he favored locating the garage at 23rd and Leonard. Even if Judge Paddock rules in favor of the present commission's decision, Milbuck said, the issue won't be settled because of strong area resident opposition.
Streakers sped down the sidewalk by Jayhawk Boulevard and raced toward Watson Library. At Watson many led obsceints about Kansas State University.
Arersinger, Binns and Willey said they favored locating the garage on 23rd away from residential areas and near highways. Willey and Radcliffe said that they would make the matter further before making a decision. They also tended to favor the location at 23rd.
Another mentioned the necessity of conditioning.
Pinckney residents have signed petitions against the proposed 2015 and Indiana location because of the probability that traffic would increase in the area. The residents think increased traffic would endanger their children.
The airport and zoning were also discussed by the candidates.
Rogger Cobb, bartender at the Stables,
1401 W. 7b, said, "It's great. It's a visual picture of expression, and it usually draws a free pitcher, out here."
"They're welcome," Hick Ray, bartender at the Jayhawk Cafe, 1340 Ohio said. "Free bread and beverages."
The Miller Hall streakers said that once the decision was made the benefits were more.
Nine students were arrested that night by Lawrence police on indecent exposure and disorderly conduct charges. All were later acquitted.
"Once I learned that the possibilities of my being arrested on campus were slim, the only problem was approaching the task," one stealer said. "One girl turned

Jitterbug returns to KU
By MARNE RINDOM
Kansan Staff Reporter
The jitterbug made a brief backlash last night at the Kansas Union when 150 people learned the roll-in, dishrag and shoot-the-goose.
The dance lessons were arranged by SUA in preparation for a Count Bass concert with the Cincinnati Orchestra.
The dance students arrived energetic and ready to learn. Although some appeared shy at first, they were soon caught up in the movements of the dance.
The crowd consisted mainly of University of Kansas students, although other groups were represented. Four students from the University of Kansas at Lawrence High School also attended.
Couples made up the largest part of the crowd at first, but singles soon arrived in considerable numbers. They didn't remain there for long, but people remained standing on the sidelines.
Many of the dancers said they came because they were planning to go to the concert and they wanted to learn how to dance to Basie's big band music. By learning the jitterbug, they said, they would feel more comfortable at the concert-dance.
Jane Mallone, Wichita senior, said,
"There is social pressure to do and go well."
Gwen Selby, Colby junior, and Frank Gilbert, Seneca senior, taught the lessons. Selby teaches dancing for the Lawrence park and recreation department and Gilbert has assisted her in her ballroom dancing class.
Selby and Gilbert showed the steps to the dance students and then let them try the different turns. The dancers practiced to Count Bass records.
While the students practiced, Selby and Gilbert roamed the crowd giving encouragement and individual help. The responders to them and caught on quickly.
At the end, Seby and Gilbert did the job for the group and received a round of praise.
The basic jitterbug step is a rock step. The man steps forward with his left foot and then backs with the same foot. The dog sees the same thing only with the right foot.
Gilbert said the large turbine was probably caused by the current nostalgia.
Hearings anticipated on group bargaining
By YAEL ABOUHALKAH Konson Stall伯罗森
Kansan Staff Reporter
The next step toward collective bargaining at the University of Kansas is hearing with the Kansas Public Employees Relations Board (KPERB).
Carl Leban, professor of East Asian studies, and four unnamed cosignatories submitted a petition Tuesday with KPERB to start unit determination at KU.
KPERB will be holding hearings soon to determine the work unit to be used in voting to decide which agency would represent the unit in possible collective bargaining.
The current conflict at KU is about the definition of a work unit. Lebanah's petition's definition differs from one proposed by KU's chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) in December.
The main difference is the exclusion of chairmen in Leban's proposed work unit. The AAUP's proposal includes them. The KERB's proposal is delivered at the KERB earrings, Leban said.
"They have to hear other opinions," Leban said. "Then they define the unit."
He said the same procedure had been followed last year at Kansas State College
That procedure would work in the same way here, Leban said. After the work unit is determined by KPERB, a petition by 30 percent of that unit would be required to call for the election of a bargaining agency for the entire unit. he said.
at Pittsburgh. After a work unit was determined by KPFEB, the unit petitioned for a vote to select, and then selected, one agency to do its bargaining, he said.
Leban said a majority of voting members of the work unit would be required to elect one agency to be used in collective bargaining at the University.
In his petition, Leban stated his purpose in calling for unit determination.
However, if no bargaining agency received a majority of the vote to represent the work unit, Leban said, the entire group would be to be followed in the next calendar year.
"We believe that the faculty's proper bargaining concerns include all aps of cts
Bargaining agents that might represent KU's work unit, if it is established, include the Kansas Higher Education Association AUU, which possibly a group of faculty, Leban said.

The dancers also expressed the idea of nostalgia. One said he had been interested in the 1960s and now his interest has shifted to the 1980s and the big band music of that period.
"It is a general trend," he said.
"Ballroom dancing is coming back."
Many people said that they liked the idea of a combination dance and concert and that it was very effective.
The only complaints expressed were the lack of space and the heat. Many found it hard to dance because they kept bumping into other dancers.
The students at the lesson expressed eagerness for the upcoming dance-concert, especially after they had learned how to dance the jitterbug.
Milk suit warns firms, source says
