Quest for blood continues
The Red Cross Blood Drive Monday at the University came 210 pints of blood closer to its goal of 800 pints of donated blood.
Jo Byers, director of the Douglas County Red Cross, said Monday night that the first day of the blood drive this year was behind the first day of the drive last year by 58 pints of blood. However, she said the donors seemed happier this year as they didn't wait as long in the lines because of less crowded conditions.
than Monday and that fewer donors would give blood Wednesday.
Byers said that a person with a history of hepatitis or a person on diabetes medication wasn't permitted to give blood. Others who wouldn't donate blood are those with sicknesses or those who weighed less than 110 pounds, she said.
Blood may be given in the Kansas Union Ballroom between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. today and Wednesday. Persons may register between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. today and Wednesday in the Union, Wescoe or Summerfield Hall.

Shankel predicts enrollment will fatten University budget
By DAVID OLSON Kansan Staff Reporter
A record increase in spring enrollment this year virtually has assured approval of supplemental appropriations for the next fiscal year. The executive vice chancellor, said Monday,
According to figures released Monday, total enrollment for the spring semester is 102 from last spring. Enrollment on the University of Kansas campus and Enrollment on the Kansas City, Kan., campus is 1,745, up 109. The figures repress the number of students enrolled in the University of Kansas.
The increase in spring enrollment was 138
higher than was estimated last month, according to Gly Dyck, dear admissions manager.
Shankel said that, because the increase was greater than anticipated, a bill that would reinstate funds deleted from the legislature probably would be passed by the legislatures.
The supplemental budget requests were based on last fall's actual enrollment and this spring's projected enrollment, Shankel said.
The bill asks for supplemental funding for a minority advancement program, a career center, and other related programs.
payroll system, and for general-use funds for expanded computer facilities.
Administrators had predicted that enrolment would decline slowly during the next few years. But this semester's increase won't affect that prediction. Shankel said.
"There's no doubt that, in three or four or five years, enrollment is going to decrease," he said. "But the nice enrollment figures now will make it easier to handle on down the line, if we manage our resources carefully."
State support of the University is based on full-time equivalent enrollment (FTE). FTE is computed by dividing the number of credit hours in which students are enrolled on the 20th day by 15 for undergraduates and by 9 for graduate students.
Dyck said this spring's FTE would be between 8,500 and 16,600 last fall's FTE.
Shankel said that a larger drop in FTE had been predicted for this spring and that he was surprised at the record increase in spring enrollment.
According to Dyck, the enrollment of new graduate students increased the most. There are more new graduate students this year than in the past. The freshman and 445 more special students.
"Spring enrollment was a very pleasant surprise," he said. "Usually we anticipate a little decrease from the fall to spring and the increase from the fall was less of a decline than we predicted."
Although spring enrollment was higher than anticipated, it still fell short of the record 21,182 enrolled at the University last fall.
SES director resigns unhappy with program
By DEBBIE GUMP
Kansan Staff Reporter
Gary Flanigan, director of the Supportive Educational Services (SES), has resigned effective immediately. Flanigan was ap- pleased by the protests by the Black Student Union (BSU).
Flanagan said in a statement released Monday that he was discontented with the relationship between the Office of Minority Affairs and SES. a program of that office,
"My dissatisfaction with the administrative structure and policies of the Office of Minority Affairs as it relates to the Supporters of the Church," he said, "such he said, that my leaving the post of SES associate director to accept a special assignment in the area of minority programming for University radio pre-programming; very active and personally promising alternative."
Flanigan said he had left SES last Thursday to develop black radio programming for the KU and Lawrence community. In addition, he said, he would continue his work on the ground. Down Here on the Ground," a black serial drama broadcast on KUOK and KANU.
Flanigan wouldn't specify the problems he mentioned in his statement, but he did say there was some confusion as to who had authority over the program.
Flanigan said his position had been discussed since last semester by Mary Townsend, director of the Office of Minority Affairs, and executive vice chancellor; and himself.
"There are several things I had discussed with vice chancellor Shankel and I believe that within the next couple of months or so the Minority Affairs Advisory Board will look into the restructuring of the SES and Minority affairs," he said.
Townsend refused to comment on Flanagan's statement because she said she herself didn't understand the structure of her office.
She said she didn't know about the structure of Minority Affairs because it involved federal agencies.
Shankel said that Flanigan's departure from SES would allow his talents to be more useful elsewhere. He said Flanigan's salary wouldn't be affected by the change.
A search for a replacement for Flanigan will begin immediately. Shankel said
Flanigan's appointment was met in October by a protest march from members of the BSU, who claimed that Flanigan was unable to work with blacks. The Kansas attorney was demonstration alleged to have staged by members of SES in an attempt to save their jobs.
However, Flanigan said, his decision to have SES waived it influenced BUO opposition.
"I haven't received any complaints directly from the students," he said.
Flanigan said that he hadn't contested his job change and that he was pleased with his help.
"All things considered, I guess everybody's happy," he said.
Only two campus organizations had filed requests Monday afternoon for their shares of about $425,000 in student activity fees for submitting requests is 4 p.m. Friday.
Applications filter in for student fee money
Folkdance Club requested $350, and the Graduate Student Council requested $1,415.
Dottie Kretsch, assistant treasurer of the Student Senate, said Thursday that she expected from 50 to 75 organizations to apply before the deadline.
After the applications have been reviewed, the Senate will begin hearings to decide which groups should receive money and how much they should receive. The Senate probably will begin these hearings in March or early April, according to Kretsch.
Last year about $394,000 was distributed to various campus organizations. This year's funds have increased because of a larger enrollment.
Many organizations that are eligible for furtia probably aren't aware of the benefits they can get.
In order to be considered for funding, an organization must be recognized by the University and registered with the office of the vice chancellor for student affairs.
The guidelines used by the Senate in making allegations say that funds won't be used for other purposes.

By DON SMITH
Kansan Staff Reporter
Student prices for 1975-76 basketball and football tickets probably will be lower than this year's prices, Ed Rolfs, student body body president, said Monday.
"We were in complete agreement about the ticket prices," Rolfs said following a meeting with Athletic Director Clyde Walker. "However, we're going to wait until before we Student Senate budget hearing before we announce the official announcement about the prices."
Ribs said Senate budget hearings would be scheduled after spring break. At that time, the new Senate will officially decide whether the bill will be allocated to the athletic corporation.
According to a study made last November by John Beisser, former student body president, ticket prices could be reduced from $15 for football and $13 for basketball to $10 each if the Senate's subsidy to the athletic corporation is increased.
The increase was approved by the outgoing Senate but must also be approved by the newly elected Senate before the allocation is official.
WALKER SAID that he was in agreement with everything discussed at the meeting and that he agreed with Rolfs that the price points couldn't be set before the budget bearrived.

Jayhawk sets precedent
Honorary organizations aren't eligible for funding, and funds aren't allocated for the promotion of any candidate or issue in an election or referendum.
Rv CORKY TREWIN, Sports Information
Any organization in which students don't make up a majority of those who have jurisdiction over the use of the funds also is ineligible. Organizations funded by the Senate also must operate in accordance with the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct, and must abide by the Kansas open meetings law.
Not to be outdoubt by President Gerald R. Doger’s recent address to the Kansas Legislature, KU’s Jayhawk mascot went to Topoca Monday to glance over Kansas’ 91-53 rout of KState in basketball Saturday. Richard D. Rogers, president of the Kansas Senate and an ardent KState fan, took most of the ribbing from the Jayhawk, but
Rogers, R-Manhattan, finally ordered the Jayhawk out of the chamber, saying, "Get that revolting bird out of it." The Jayhawk, actually Byron Rhodes, Wichita sophomore, had been called into the chamber by State Sen. Wint Winter, O-Ritta and a KU graduate, to read a poem to Rogers.

Committees aid in filling vacant posts
There are no shortages at the University of Kansas when it comes to search commit-
Eleven administrative and academic posts are present vacant, and five search committees have already been formed to find replacements. Three more committees are expected to be formed soon while there are three other positions are just getting started.
"You have more search committees now because of the process you go through to find people," Ambrose Sarikes, vice president of data science, said last week. "It's required now."
Saricks said the committee currently working appeared to be running smoothly, and that the large number of vacant posts in the Office of Academic Affairs.
"We asked them to be expeditionists but to
their relief well too, so they had
suggested that they go on May 13."
THE SEARCH COMMITTEE to find a new dean for the University library system is closest to finishing its work, according to Saricks. The committee has narrowed the field of applicants, and some applicants visited the campus for interviews, he said.
John L. Glinka, associate director of the libraries, is serving as acting dean. The post was vacated in June 1974 by David Heron, who resigned to accept a post with the University of Pennsylvania, in order to depart, the post as director of the library system has been changed to a deanship.
Interviews are expected to be concluded by the end of this week. The committee should make its recommendations soon after that, Saricks said.
A problem encountered by the search committee to find a new dean for the School of Social Welfare is that other schools have the same vacancy.
Kenneth R. Wedel, associate professor of social welfare and chairman of the search committee, said, "A number of deanships are open across the country in social welfare. That puts us in a competitive situation."
According to Saricks, the search for a new dean for the School of Social Welfare began in September. Saricks could recommend only one person, he said, and that applicant decided to keep his other job. Saricks said the search committee was reorganized into its present form to try
Wedel said the committee had set a March 1 deadline for submitting applications.
