Group considers grad fee waiver
By CINDY MORGAN
Kansan Staff Reporter
Graduate students who have teaching and research positions at the University of Kansas may be exempt from paying tuition for the 1976-1977 school year.
A fee waiver proposal is being studied by a committee appointed by William栽ranger J. Dean of the graduate school at the University of Del Shkelen, executive vice chancellor.
If a KU graduate student works 16 hours or more in the University, (40 per cent employment of a 40 hour work week), out-of-state fees are waived and the student begins paying staff fees, Kimbrough said. Staff fees are $23.85 a class hour.
A fee waiver accepts a person from paying fees, Arnold H. Weiss, assistant dean of the graduate school and committee chairman, said last week.
Kimbrough said the average KU graduate student took six to eight hours a semester.

Until he obtains 40 per cent employment, the graduate student pays the same in-state
or out-of-state tuition as the undergraduate student, she said.
Therefore, the average KU graduate student with 40 per cent University employment would pay from $143.10 to $190.80 in fees a semester.

"It might be appropriate now not to collect fees from graduate students who get training."
The University has a responsibility to itself to attract good graduate students, he said. Without good graduate students to conduct research, the University will deteriorate.
Shankel asked the committee of seven professors and two graduate students to recommend its findings on the feasibility and advantages of fee waivers to the administration sometime this spring, and then, student member of the committee, said.
The administration is more sympathetic to the needs of the graduate student because of the poor economic conditions in the country, Weiss said. The pressure for the administration to act now is stronger, he said.
Kimbrough said the committee was investigating how the University compared to other schools in terms of benefits to the graduate and undergraduate committee also would certainize approving money the University would lose, how the University could compensate for this loss of

Senate's cuts proposal lauded
It takes courage to say no. It especially takes courage to say no to 28 groups requesting money from you when the money isn't your's in the first place.
But say no is just what the Student Senate's Finance and Auditing Committee did this week when it recommended that almost $20,000 be sliced from campus organization's requests from the Senate's fall activity fee contingency fund and that $5,282 of student money be put back into the fund. And they should be congratulated for it.
In the past, the Finance and Auditing Committee has tended to forget that the money it was allocating was the students' not the Senate's and that only groups that benefit a large number of students or represent the students and the Senate can do so. The Senate does not money. There also has been a prevailing attitude that all the money has to be spent and none can be kept in reserve for the future.
And even when the Finance and Auditing Committee did attempt to use such criterion in the last two series of hearings, the Senate as a whole, which has final say over allocations, has overruled the committee's recommendations and doled student money to special interest groups that benefitted only a handful of students until all the money was gone.
The new synthetic surface in Allen Field House
that will soon be opened for student use was paid for in part by money that the predecessor of the Student Senate, the All Student Council, had set aside. Until this week, the Senate has shown little indication of saving for a rainy day or special project such as this. Instead, groups that had as few as 20 members and offered nothing to the University community received outlandish sums of money to make telephone calls, open offices, eat refreshments and buy supplies.
Without exception, the Finance and Auditing committee exhibited none of this capricious doling of money to small, special interest groups this week and recommended that only organizations such as the Graduate Student Council, University Theatre, intramurals, the University Daily Kansan and the Consumer Protection Association—groups, in which a large number of students participate or benefit from—receive money.
Let's hope that the Senate as a whole, when it meets Wednesday to approve the committee's recommendations, is equally responsive to the students.
Lewis Gregory, chairman of the committee,
said Tuesday, "This committee was more responsive to the students than any other budget process I've ever seen."

Fina Hour
The human race is on a collision course with its day of reckoning. The Bible, science and the news media all agree—there is not much time left.
Two film crews covered 24,000 miles and twelve cultures ranging from jungle tribes to man's most modern centers to film the tragic condition of our failing world.
THE FINAL HOUR, a color documentary, graphically portrays the realities of life on our declining planet and sensitively links those facts to the word of God. The film shows us that God did predict the final hour of man's history. Faith and reason agree when we look to see what time it is.
