Rolfs fails in fight to kill Senate budget-limiting bill
By JIM BATES
Debate over the Student Senate Flius, and Auditing Committee's fall budget.
Rofs' motion was defeated after several StudEx members said that even though StudEx had the power, they didn't like the Senate floor. But before the bills reached the Senate floor.
Ed Rolfs, student body president, tried unsuccessfully at a StudEx meeting last night to remove one of the committee's three budget bills from the agenda of Wednesday's Senate meeting. The bill would get an $18,000 load on all allocations.
"WITH ALL THE DISCUSSION that's been going on at StudEx power," John House, treasurer, said, "I wonder this is the sort of thing we should be doing."
The Senate Rights and Responsibilities Committee has been attempting to redefine StudEx power on a charge given it in a Senate resolution last month. Yesterday, in its first formal vote in five meetings, the committee decided 8-2 that StudEx did have the权力 to reverse a Senate decision if the Senate was unable to recuse a bill in time.

Festival draws crafts and crowds
By BRUCE SPENCE
Apple Valley Farm was once abandoned and decayed. It's now home for a restaurant, a theater, a music and dance store, an oyster shop and 275 peach and apple trees.
It does a pretty good business, too.
Business and excitement peak during an October festival which draws people to enjoy culinary delights and to peruse the wares of exhibitors.

is dean of women at the University of Kansas.
MARY MALNOWSKY, who operates an antique store in an 1890 barn on the 63-acre farm, is the founder of the festival. She said she had a small collection with some extra amps and an old, cold press.
She said she asked herself, "Why not come some home." People would like to meet her.
“AND IF WE WERE going to that much trouble, then why not make apple butter?” Malinowny said. “Then I thought, ‘Why not an arts and crafts festival?’ and here we

She estimated that 4,500 people would attend the festival before the day was over.
Returning freshmen factor in low enrollment estimate
Unexpected increases in the number of graduate students and returning freshmen were the main causes of this year's low number of admissions and records, said yesterday.
Official Lawrence campus enrollment figures released last week showed that both the total number of students and full-time equivalent enrollment (FTE) increased by six per cent, more than was estimated in October 1974.
THIS FALL'S FTE enrollment is 20,449,
an increase of 1,172 over last year's.
An increase of 650 was predicted. Total
increase of 21,738, an increase of 1,343
over last year's.
One FTE is counted for every 15 undergraduate or nine graduate hours of enrolment, excluding religion and ROTC hours.
"We had a really high retention rate for last year's freshmen and many more graduate students than we expected," Dyck said. "We just weren't looking for these things last year when we made our enrollment prediction."
He said he wasn't sure why a greater percentage of freshmen returned than usual. But the tighter job market and the efforts of the Outreach program might account for the increase in graduate students, he said.
This fall's sophomore enrollment of 3,910 was an increase of 532 over last year's, and the graduate student enrollment of 4,749 was 516 more than last year's. All other classes showed smaller exceptions except for freshman enrollment, which decreased.
The number of Outreach classes was increased by 25 this year, raising the total to more than 130. Graduate courses in public administration, civil engineering, education, social welfare and other areas are offered in several Kansas communities; including Kansas City, Topeka and Leavenworth.
ENROLMENT FOR OTHER classes was: fresher, 3,892; juniors, 3,259; seniors, 3,793; fifth-year students, 106; adult students, 1,461; and law students, 456.
The process of predicting enrollment is fairly simple and inexpensive, Dyck said. Enrollment figures and trends are derived formula that has been used for the past 20 years.
"We look on how enrollments have been going in different categories," he said. "We talk to people in various departments and ask how developments in the economy and in education might affect enrollment next year."
MALNOWSKY a craftsmen came from all over the Midwest to exhibit, demonstrate and show their wares. Fifty-four exhibitors set up yesterday, she said, and each succeeding Sunday of the festival usually brings more exhibitors.
"It gets better every year," she said.
"More people get to know about it."
"Some of the people who came here to look around today will decide to bring something to sell next Sunday, just as some of the people who are exhibiting this year just looked around last year," Malnowsky said.
He said the prediction of next year's enrollment was being formulated and would be sent to the Kansas Board of Regents this month.
An exhibitor is charged a five-dollar fee to set up his display and all monet he takes in.
Paul F. Fleeay, of Bonner Springs, a retired carpenter who worked in the trade 40 years, became a wood carver eight years ago. This year is the first time he paraded his car. He seemed to enjoy the festival, and frequently stopped his work to talk to passers-by.

This year, the Malinowsky had to add a copper kettle to the two they already had so they could increase output to about 450 watts. The butter was sold over by midafternoon.

Rolfs said the $18,000 limit shouldn't be placed on the agenda because it would be too confusing. He said that later in the meeting the Senate might decide it wanted to allocate more money and then have to go back to reconsider the bill.
In particular, he said, money would be requested from the Senate by the Karsan and Manouchehri families.
The Kansan, which requested $15,608, was allocated nothing by the committee despite the urging of Rolfs and Kevin Flynn, chairman of the Senate Communications Committee. The committee allocated only $14,105 of a possible £27,000.
Juli Anderson, Finance and Auditing chairman, said her committee thought money should be kept back in case worthy programs came up later in the year. Rolfs himself, she said, had recommended that $6,000 of the $27,000 be held in reserve.
ANDERSON DENIED that the committee had picked the $18,000 figure because it was slightly more than the amount it had allocated.
Mary Lou Reece, student body vice-president, said she didn't understand why the committee put the ceiling into a bill that requires a recommendation in its committee report.
However, she said that the committee had made its allocations before it set the ceiling. This was because the members wanted to ensure that servers without any extra pressure, she said.
Anderson said the committee thought a bill was the best way to make the Senate appreciate the importance of keeping money in reserve.
StudEx voted to keep the ceiling bill on
the agenda by a voice vote. It will be considered before all calls for tailoring for new markets is approved.
The Senate also will vote on a resolution questioning the athletic department's paving of the parking lot north of Potter Lake.
THE RIGHTS COMMITTEE abandoned a move to take away the votes of the three candidates.
"The people who raised the issue last even here tonight and that solves a problem," she said.
Although the committee has just about made up its mind about StudEx, it still must consider a proposal by Rolfs to cut the Senate's size from 110 to 50. Such a cut, Rolfs said, would make the Senate more informed and responsive.
None of the committee members at last night's meeting expressed any interest in joining.
Members of the council are KU-Y, Campus Veterans, KU Commission on the Status of Women, Douglas County Legal Aid, Friends of Headquarters, MECHA, Native American Alliance, Volunteer Clearinghouse, and Women's Coalition.
Some committee members said they didn't see how cutting down the Senate would do this. However, the committee postponed any decision on the proposal.
A petition supporting Rolfs' proposal from the Student Services Council, a group of nine campus organizations, was distributed to the committee.
THE PETITION SAID that cutting Senate size would make individual senators more responsible and easier to contact. Senators now can be elected once a year and then forget the students afterwards, the petition said.
If the Senate was smaller, the petition said, more people would know their members.
A good analogy to this, the petition said, would be the fact that more people know who their U.S. senators are than know who their U.S. representative is. Roffs' proposal would make the individual senators more visible, he said.

Resolution criticizes S-zone construction
A resolution accusing the Athletic Department of building the S-zone parking lot, southwest of Memorial Stadium, without proper authorization has been submitted by Steve Chucovich, student senator and member of the Parking and Traffic Board.
"The Athletic Department, with only the support of the higher administration, built the parking lot north of Potter Lake for its football season," the resolution stated.
Clyde Walker, athletic director, said yesterday that the parking lot was constructed only after approval by the Athletic board of the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation and the University Administration.
In fact, Walker said, the parking lot was designed by University architects and constructed under the same contract as a sewer project sponsored by the administration, which resulted in a savings to the University.
"All proper University procedures were followed," Walker said. "This (the construction of the lot) was done just like anything else, through normal channels."
Construction of the lot began in July, whether said, and was completed near the water.
Ed Rolfs, student body president, said he thought the Parking and Traffic Board should have been consulted before the S-zone lot was constructed. The Planning and Resources Board also should have been consulted, he said.
"I think these groups should at least have been informed about the project," Rolfs said. "Anytime someone starts tearing down a building, they had better have a good reason."
The resolution also said that when it was possible for one group on campus to do almost anything it wanted without going further, the decision would be dangerous precedent would be set for other

Zamir Bavel has an answer to the question of what is involved in so many diverse activities.
BAVEL PROFESSOR OF COMPUTER SCIENCE at KU, qualified for the 1952 Olympic team in his native Israel. He composed a symphonic work once described by Leonard Bernstein as "delightful and effective. And he has been a great teacher and an innovator, automata theory, an example of abstract mathematical structure.
"You have to have a measure of fool in you to take the beating," he said Friday, according to a person with no name.
Before coming to the United States in 1952 at the age of 23, Bavel was an assistant principal at an elementary school in Israel. He performed as first violinist with the Israeli Symphony Orchestra and qualified for the Olympic games in the long turn.
BAVEL SUFFERED a torn muscle before the Olympics and was unable to compete. But he was quick to point out how much effort it took it to make the Olympic team then.
Bravel came to this country after he had won an education scholarship to Southern Illinois University. He graduated with bachelor's degrees in music, education and mathematics. When he was going to school he played for the Kodak Philharmonic and he competed in track
"I thought I was being more diligent than
most by practicing the long jump once a week," he said. "It wasn't until I came to the states that I realized people trained everyday.
"But now I'm in the position to say I could have won the gold medal, but there are very few who don't need that excuse. They are the ones who win."
**WITH A BACKGROUND like that it's not very clear how Havel began working in France.**
Wait, let me re-read the first line.
"WITH A BACKGROUND like that it's not very clear how Havel began working in France."
"Curiosity," he said, "compaters looked like the up-and-coming thing."
Bavel joined the KU faculty in 1688 even though his wife had said, "If you ever sign a contract to go to Kansas, you're going alone."
So Bavel carried home an armload of
university pamphlets to present his case.
"What truly clinched it for us here was the people," he said, "they are a special
brand. Not only are they cultured and
and especially intertwined."
IN LAWRENCE, Bavel has continued his interests in music and athletics. He is concert master for the Lawrence Symphony orchestra, and he organized the Lawrence Track Club.
Bavel said that he considered the United States to be a cultured country but that the people in Israel were much more interested in music and art.
"ONCE A YEAR season tickets would go on sale for the Israeli Philharmonic," he said. "Thousands of people would line up outside the windows waiting to buy tickets but there might be only 10 available. These 10 were the ones that hadn't been inherited."
"The United States is a cultured country compared to other places but it's not."
No matter how many lives Bavel leads,
above all he thinks of himself as a teacher.
TO HIM, BEING A TEACHER is very similar to being an actor on the stage.
"I believe that whatever your inhibitions

most noble thing that I could do.
are as a private person, you've got to shed them and force your audiences to share your ideas.
Bavel
"I consider myself as a means for the student to learn. I hope that I'm able to facilitate learning by providing the sources of information and transmitting knowledge from a textbook."
Bavel said some of his teaching philosophy came from his experiences as a
"I remember taking courses where I begrudged sitting in the classroom when any teacher could have done the same thing with the text." he said.
But Bavel said he was reaching a point in his career where he was ready to examine new interests rather than spend time researching in automata theory.
NOW HE IS LEARNING to throw the hammer at Master track meets (for people over 40). He is going to learn to play the French Horn and he said he had several "ideas in the oven" for writing music, poetry and science fiction.
How does one man find time for sports, writing, music and teaching?
"The amount of energy you put into something is related to the amount you get done," he said. "There is time, if you don't waste it."
