Gregory, a student senator, is chairman of the Finance and Auditing Committee.
“There will be about half a million dollars in student funds allocated next year by the Senate and I would want to make sure they do it right.” Gregory said.
He and his running mate, Tedde Tasheff, Wichita sophomore, said they would support the allocation of student funds only for groups that provided some benefit.
Tashef is a senator and chairman of the Senate Communications Committee.
"There are some groups that provide services for the University and don't involve as many students, but they still should be funded." Gregory said. "A group that has a few students and does it provide an only self-serving, should be scrutinized."
Gregory said the area of Senate finances wouldn't be the only one in which his administration would be active. He said his administration would try to establish an executive advisory board to the Kansas University Athletic Corporation (KUAC), set up a more flexible fee-based model, and secure D.C.'s advisory board, secure more funding for Watson Library and set up a summer jobs clearing house.
Gregory said the executive board of JUAC would be made up of the members of the present corporation board.
"These people would meet once a week to look over the day to day activities of the athletic department," he said. "This way they would know about more decisions such as Farnham resigning and would be able to tell the management that hasn't been found out to now."
Gregory said he thought the feedback program should be changed. He said he would seek a more flexible system which students could more useful to students and faculty.
"The individual departments would have input into the feedback program," Gregory said. "Right now, some of the questions aren't applicable to all departments and this way we could have a more flexible system."
Gregory said the change could take the form of a separate questionnaires in each case.
"We would encourage the departments to
set up their own questions and this couldn't help but aid the teachers in evaluating a
The KU-Washington, D.C., advisory board would be made up of KU students. They would set up contact with the Washington offices of Rep. Larry Winn, R-Kan, Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan, and Sen. James Pearson, R-Kan. The board would monitor legislation important to students, Gregory said.
"This type of board will be able to help with such matters as the veterans' work, and the staff."
Gregory lacked of student input into governmental policymaking the past few years prompted him to propose the advisory board.
"We could keep up better and have a better impression going on in the United States. So Candidate #1."

Professors' request for use of KU pharmacv questioned
The University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas

The question of whether faculty families should be allowed to use Watkins Hospital physician offices is a divisive one.
A group of faculty last week, in a letter to
Rebate plan is continued at bookstores
J. D. Christman, bookstore manager, said Sunday that an 8 per cent rebate had previously been approved by the board for the purchase of 55, from January through June 1974.
A patronage rebate of 8 per cent on purchases at the Kansas Union Bookstore and the Oread Bookstore will be continued, it was announced Saturday at a meeting of the Kansas Union Memorial Corporation Board.
Saturday's approval will permit the bookstores to rebate 8 per cent for purchases made in the last half of 1974, Christmas said.
He said the rebates for both periods would be payable today at the bookstore upon presentation of the appropriate cash register receipt. Period 55 receipts won't be payable after June and period 56 receipts expire at the end of the year.
In other action, the board approved SUA's revised "break-even" budget for the remainder of the semester. The budget revisions were necessary because of unexpectedly high financial deficits that was faced with, officials said last week.
Also, a survey conducted last fall of students, faculty and administrators as to what they thought was needed in the way of Union programs and facilities has been completed and sent to the University of Minnesota for evaluation.
the university administration, requested that faculty families be allowed to use the pharmacy. The administration sent the request to the Student Senate, where it is under consideration in the student health services advisory board.
The American Association of University Professors (AUAP) made the request on the basis of an employee fringe benefit, Frances Hooker, of the local AUAP chapter, last week.
"We are investigating various areas of tangle benefits available to the University of Missouri."
Watkins pharmacy is part of the student health services cooperative. Each student pays $35.00 each semester to subsidize these services, Mark Holland, chairman of the Senate's health services advisory board, said. The faculty contributes nothing, he said.
"I don't think students should be paying
for faculty fringe benefits," John Beisner,
student body president, said.
Ingemann said the AAUP didn't expect the students to pay for these benefits.
"We would assume that any services of the hospital or pharmacy used by an employee would be subsidized by the University," she said.
Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor,
said he had referred for study the request of
Beisner and the Senate's health services
advisory board.
In a letter to Holland, Beisner enumerated what he thought would be three ill-effects of allowing members of faculty families to use the pharmacy.
The administration will make its decision after the release of the Senate's recom- mentation be made.
for billing purposes which would add to the cost of the services to the students; and possible repercussions among local pharmacists.
Beiser wrote that the additional business from faculty families could result in these: less prompt service to the students; the addition of more business office personnel
Employees of the University are allowed to have prescriptions from their private physician fill at Watkins pharmacy at the University. Dr. Martin Wollmann, director of Watkins, said.
However, he said, the pharmacy is stocked with drugs needed by the college age person in mind. Some of the older students may be suffering chronic diseases, heart disease and arthritis.
The drugs that would fill the prescriptions for these diseases aren't available at the hospital, Wolman said. The prescriptions must be filled and the full price must be charged.
He said employees may also use the hospital facilities for emergencies.
Restraining order stops city garage land purchase
The Lawrence City Commissioners have been stopped, at least temporarily, from purchasing land at Second and Indiana for a city maintenance garage.
A restraining order was issued Friday against that location by Douglas County District Court Judge James W. Paddock. A hearing will be scheduled for some time this week to determine whether to make the restraining order permanent.
The order was issued after the filing of a petition for an injunction by Edward G. Collister Jr., attorney for the Old West Lawrence and Pinckney Neighborhood

garage there didn't conform with the comprehensive plan for the city. Collier said that the city commission needed to act by ordinance or resolution to amend the comprehensive plan instead of simply passing a motion.
Collier said the lawsuit to stop the building of the garage alleges that the decision to build at that location was handled in an illegal manner.
In choosing the Second and Indiana site, the commission had overridden a decision by the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission. The decision indicated that a
Mayor Jack Rose said he hoped the restraining order would be lifted after a hearing in which the city's side of the story would be told.
Rose said he wasn't surprised at the action by the neighborhood groups, recalling the commission's refusal Jan. 21 to voluntarily stop action on the project. The commission asked him to meet that he should take appropriate local steps if he wanted to stop the city.
A statement by the Lawrence Neighborhood Defense Fund, which is financing the action, expressed the regret of the members that the action was necessary.
