Group seeks forensic fund raise
The Student Senate's Cultural Affairs Committee last night proposed a 150 per cent increase in next fall's tentative budget. The University of Kansas Forensics program.
The committee decided to propose the 150 per cent increase following a presentation by Jim Prentice, Turon senior, who represented the debate squad.
Prentice said the club was in danger of extinction if a proposed 60 per cent cut in the club's allocation of $8,500 was approved by the Senate.
"Cutting it (the forensics allocation) by 60 per cent will send the program down the network."
Prentice said KU Forensics had experienced a cut from $9,500 to $8,500 last year but was promised by the Senate that the $8,500 figure wouldn't be reduced any more.
Prentice said all the University's debaters belonged to the organization and were expected to provide exposure because of the traveling squads. Prentice said the increased costs in travel and tournament fees and more debaters in the program warranted an increase in the budget.
The committee's recommendation will be
financed by Finance and Auditing
Council Tuesday.
In another committee meeting last night, the Academic Affairs Committee voted to
amend a bill designed to simplify fund rallies from school student councils in the university
The committee discussed the bill, which would classify school councils into three types.
Jeff Southard, committee member, said three classes, A, B and C, would be used to represent each school council's structure. Class C is the highest and is typified by the Graduate Student Council, which has a high financial responsibility. Southern said,
Classes A and B are less structured and have less financial responsibility, he said. Southard said the bill provided school councils with more home rule, which was letting the councils decide where funds allocated to them were to go.
According to Bill Blessing, committee chairman, the law and architecture schools (Class B councils) and the Graduate Student Council (Class C) should get funds under the bill if it is passed in the Senate since some schools don't have councils.
In other action, the Cultural Affairs Committee vote to pass on a 100 per cent increase over last year for the KU Bands so could replace worn out instruments.
The committee also decided to form a liaison with the International Club when several members of the committee said the club had problems in involving members of the club in activities. A few members of the committee said they thought this action might affect the way money was being spent by the club.
The United Kingdom might soon be united in name only, according to Eismond Wright, professor of American history at the University of London.
Britain's problems cited
"We're at a breaking point," he told a reporter in the Forum Room of the Kansas University.
Wright cited problems that plagued Great Britain, including labor union demands, inflation, migration to the cities, immigration to Europe and support to Great Britain and the British Parliament.
"Parliament is a club where people chat together." he said.
Wright, a member of Parliament from 1967 to 1970, said the real political power lay in the hands of Great Britain's 100,000 servants, who prevented Parliament from
being effective. Unselected civil servants do have to respond to the electorate, he said.
Politicians have to respond, however. Wright blamed the media, especially television, for creating an atmosphere in which voters had bad news and a chance of being elected.
“An honest man is bound to be chopped,” he said.
Wright said the new laws that enabled Scotland to elect its own Parliament would eventually lead to independence from the United States, and said Ireland also faced the same future.
To save the United Kingdom, Wright said,
it's people would have to make sacrifices
"We've got to hurt," he said. "All of us."
Intramural parking full
Parking at the intramural fields at 23rd and Iowa streets has been a problem on Tuesday nights, according to Tom Wilkerson, recreation coordinator.
The parking lot on 23rd St. can accommodate 75 cars, Wilsons said Monday, but the capacity is insufficient on Tuesday nights when fraternity football games are played because those games tend to draw many spectators.
"We've made temporary arrangements with the Presbyterian Church to have people cross the street from the fields," he said. "We realize this is going to pose some traffic problems with pedestrians cross 23rd and right now we don't have much choice."
Wilkerson said he had submitted a proposal to Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, to begin the second phase of development of the 2rd and Iowa streets area. Phase II would involve construction two lot would intramural fields now in use.
The access road to the proposed parking lots would be 210 and Iowa streets, west of Ironton.
The new parking lots will be constructed as soon as money becomes available, Wilkerson said. Last year, the Student Senate appointed $29,500 to have the fields graded and to construct the 75-car parking lot. Wilkerson said that the new parking lot could be built this year if any of the $29,500 was left.

GSC fund requests due
