Panel advises lower fee release for KU
By TONY BALANDRAN
Staff writer
TOPEKA - The University of Kansas would receive less financial relief than administrators were seeking from a tuition fee release for next semester, if a legislative interim committee gets its way.
The Special Committee on Financing Regents Institutions voted yesterday to recommend to the 1987 Kansas Legislature that 75 percent of the fee amount approved by the Board of Regents be released to the University.
The committee recommended that KU's spending limit be increased by only $93,418 instead of the $1.2 million officials hoped to get.
Yesterday, the committee, led by Rep. Rochelle Chronister, R-Neodesha, approved its final report to the Legislature.
"The committee recommends that 75 percent of revenues resulting from a larger than expected enrollment be released during the fiscal year in which the unexpected enrollment occurred," the report said.
In addition to KU, the committee
recommended that Kansas State University and Pittsburg State University receive 75 percent of the fee release amount the Regents had approved.
K-State's limit increased by $93,110 and Pittsburg State's limit increased by $75,555.
In planning the budget for each fiscal year, the University estimates the average fee collected and the number of students who will attend the University.
The product of these two figures is what the University estimates it will
need for that fiscal year from the general fee fund.
If more students enroll at KU than budgeted, then, by law, the university cannot use the excess fees collected from those extra students.
The University must request permission for the students to seek these materials from the PhD.
At its October meeting, the Regents received from the University a request for a $1,552,820 increase in its tuition fee spending limit.
But the Regents reduced the University's request, allowing KU to
seek $1,271,224 from its fee fund
Also, K-State may seek $124.146,
and K-State was allowed to ask for $104.748
But although KU welcomes the recommended fee release, the effect of the probable budget cutback would be that KU will spend Zimmerman, KU budget director.
"Right now what we are doing is budgeting not to spend the money the state has asked us not to spend," he said.

Cheers' win is official after recount of votes
By SALLY STREEE

Brady Stanton and Kelly Milligan were named the official winners in last week's race for student body president and vice president by 131 votes, after 224 previously invalidated ballots were counted last night.
Of 3,577 ballots cast in the presidential race, Stanton and Milligan, candidates from the Cheers coalition, won 1,792, or 50.1 percent, according to official results from the Elections Review Board.
Betsy Bergman and Stephanie
Buney, Initiative candidates, receiv-
tion.
Of the remaining ballots, 66 were write-ins, 55 were blank, and three were marked twice, said Glenn Shirtliffe, chairman of the Student Senate Elections Committee.
Elections Review Board members voted to count the 224 ballots, which the elections committee had termed invalid Thursday night, after board members decided the ballots substantially complied with ballot guidelines.
The board also will count previously invalidated ballots in other races next week.
Bergman said last night that she didn't expect the additional ballots to change the presidential results but thought that counting the additional ballots would make the election more official.
Bergman and Quiney had requested that the board count the invalid ballots in their race and others.
The board also waived two complains about campaign audits after members of both coalitions agreed after an argument to withdraw complaints they had filed.
The Cheers coalition had filed a complaint saying the Initiative coalition failed to submit a final campaign audit by the deadline.
And three students affiliated with the Initiative coalition filed a complaint saying Cheers candidates had been discharged without their audit and had thus overpaid.
The Elections Review Board officially determines Student Senate elections. The board is made up of the chairman of the Senate elections committee, two other members of the committee, two members of the Senate Student Rights Committee, and a representative from the University administration.
Of the 224 presidential ballots that originally were invalidated, 25 were marked too faintly to be read by the computer, and 199 were marked to the right of candidates' names instead of to the left. The Elections Review Board counted the 224 ballots by hand last night.
Shrilife lived the board his committee had determined on election night that ballots had to be filled out according to instructions placed in an ad in the Kansan.
However, printed instructions were not posted at polls until the second day of voting. Shirtlift said. And poll workers gave instructions to voters only when they had time, he said.

Schools to submit proposals for cuts
Staff writer
By ALISON YOUNG
Deans of KU professional schools and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences today are scheduled to submit detailed proposals for cutting 2.3 percent from their budgets, officials said yesterday.
Del Brinkman, vice chancellor for academic affairs, met with the deans to answer questions about proposed studies and generally discuss their effects.
"It will be different from school to school," Brinkman said. "Some have committed more funds than others."
Brinkman said he would not know the specifics for each school until he met the teachers.
Last week, Governor-elect Mike Hayden proposed 3.8 percent state spending cuts to keep the state balanced despite revenue shortfalls
See related story p. 10.
Of the 3.8 percent, KU's academic budget would be cut by 2.3 percent over the next seven months. The rest would come from support services, which include job placement, housing and other areas beyond the classroom.
Brinkman said the academic budget would have to be cut by about 15%.
"We will probably have to cancel some classes," he said. "We can't do it without doing that."
Robert Lineberry, dean of the college, said after the meeting that cuts would reduce the number of courses in the spring and summer semester.
Lineberry said the college was working on plans to trim about $760,000 of its budget from the areas of uncommitted staff funds, supplies and equipment.
These reductions will mean, for instance, fewer chemicals and specimens in laboratory courses and paper for exams and syllabi, he said.

Massage eases clients'stress
Unlike most businessmen, Bruce Blanc says the highest compliment his clients can pay is to fall for a deal.
That is when they are most relaxed — which is his goal.
Blanc, a masseur at Lawrence Massage Therapy, $927.1^2$ Massachusetts, said that his business incorporated some of the most effective and mysterious techniques known but that it was often misunderstood.
Blane went to massage school in Kansas City, Mo. to obtain a degree as a massage technician. And he, like many others, is passionate about it.
Many people are discovering the benefits of massage and are paying $20 an hour to reap them, he said. Students and senior citizens pay $15 an hour, and low-income residents pay $10 an hour.
He said that he helped patients with problems related to stress and helped them get in tune with their bodies by teaching them how to read what their bodies were telling them.
"Massage is used as a therapeutic technique for a variety of objectives." Blanc said.
"We have to listen to the wisdom of our bodies," he said.
Blanc said he offered different techniques of massage to achieve those objectives.
One form, Swedish, is the most popular form that he offers, he said. This form is used to relieve stress by going deep into muscle tissues to work out knots and trauma. This method also causes chronic pain and muscle fatigue. Blanc said.
He also offers sports massages to relieve athletic injuries
Blanc said he had worked on several members of the KU men's track team and was hoping to work with them more extensively in the future. He said Bob Timmons, KU men's track head coach, was aware of the benefits of massage and welcomed it as a form of muscular pain relief.
Gianc said the massage speeded recovery time and prevented future injury by increasing oxygen flow to the muscles and aiding the release of toxins through the veins. It also releases the body's natural painkillers, he said.
New Kansas drivers' licenses to make forgery harder

Underage students trying to alter Kansas drivers' licenses to get into drinking establishments will find it more difficult in the future.

At first glance, the licenses will appear the same. But when held at an angle, viewers will see "Kansas" printed in gold lettering over pertinent information.
Starting Monday, drivers' licenses will have an added security feature designed to prevent tampering.
"The main reason is to prevent fraudulent licenses from being used to obtain alcoholic beverages," said Barbara Clark, spokesman
The stamp will be in the lamination itself, which means that someone examining the license closely could tell whether the bearer was born before or after birth and then relinquished it. Clark said.
for the Kansas Department of Revenue.
However, the change won't be noticeable for a while, and few liquor store and bar owners questioned yesterday said they were aware of the change.
Clark said people with liquor licenses should receive notices this week.
The new licenses will be issued when drivers get a new license or renew an old one.
she said. The department distributes about 600,000 licenses a year.
Because Kansas licenses are good for four years, everyone will have new licences only at the end of the year.
John Lamb, director of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, said, "I don't expect it to have much impact initially, other than re-emphasizing the problem.
"It will be 18 to 24 months before we start seeing much of an impact. Then we'll know how it will work."
About 20 other states have this feature,
Lamb said, and they are satisfied with the
patent.
Lamb said that underage drinkers tried to
"There's all kinds of junk out there that people are accepting." he said.
pass a significant number of fake I.D.s.
Underage people convicted of buying alcohol usually are fined $100 to $200, he said.
If a drinking establishment or liquor store accepts poorly made fake identification and the state charges it with a violation, the business usually gets its liquor license suspended for a minimum of two or three days. Lamb said
But the new I.D.s won't stop the familiar scene in which an underage person borrows
Roxanne Medine, manager of Johnny's, 401
N. Second St., said she thought people borrowed I.D. cards more than they faked them
rowed I.D. cards more than they taken dead.
She said that suspicious I.D.s were more of a problem on the weekends than during the week.
Don Janisch, owner of Janisch Retail Liquor,
620 N. Winth St., agreed.
Janish said customers also tried to use out-of-state identification cards.
"I don't know that I've ever seen a Kansas driver's license altered." Jansch said.
Janusch and other bar owners said that if they had questions about the validity of a piece of identification, they would ask customers for more or turn them away.
