Organizations' requests exceed available money
A total of $33,762.56 in supplemental funding was requested by ten organizations last night during the second meeting of the Senate, Finance, and Audit Committee.
The committee has about $27,000 available to allocate from the Senate's fall budget contingency funds. Those funds will be used at the end of the last fiscal year June 30.
The groups appearing before the committee were the Commission on the Status of Women, Composition Review and Pension Club, Women's Art and Science School Council, KU Armateur Science Club, KU Folk Dancing Club, KU-LY radio station KJHK, University Dally Kansan and University Dally Kansan.
The largest single request was made by

"The juntians have more space than we do," he said.
Graduate students in all departments because each student needs his own study space.
Anita Kapaum, graduate student in textiles, said the lack of space limited the scale of projects she could work on. She curtailled her lectures to make it enough to look at it objectively, she said.
Contacts and the exchange of ideas are also limited by the lack of space, according to graduate students in textiles and ceramics.
"I's an enforced isolation," said Kapun. "When people seek out places to work on, they are usually in the airport."
SEVERAL GRADUATE students said they had had the impression they would have their own lockers and studio space before they came to the University. Richard Bird, graduate student in ceramics, said he thought the department should explain to the students it accepted that they would have very little space in which to work.
Bird said he had had to buy his own ceramics wheel because there were only two wheels for eight graduate students. The other three must work in a room 13% feet by 13% feet.
"Work that should be finished in two years takes three to three and a half years before completion."
Bird said he found himself wanting to work on a smaller scale and work on one piece until it was finished, which slowed his progress.
Candi Wolf, graduate student in textiles,
"And I 'would get more space' as going to
school would allow me to be creative."
the Kanan, which asked for $15,000.16. Cindy Long, business manager, said most of the funds requested would cover the increases in production costs during last year. She also said she would be in addition to rate increases for advertising and mail subscriptions, she said.
KJHK, WHICH replaces KUOK this fall as the student radio station, requested $11,031 to cover costs in the changeover to FM frequency.
Dave Krobe, station manager, said most of the funds would be needed for the initial establishing of JKHK. Additional costs for alternative formats and programs would be necessary, he said, to provide broadcast experience on a professionally-run station.
The editors of the Cottonwood Review, a literary magazine for local and national talent, have requested $50 to begin a tabloid featuring only the works of local people. A spokesman for the magazine said the tabloid would be called Openhouse and would include cartoons, graffiti and anything printable.
THE JAYHAWK FENCING Club's request of $1,050 would replace and repair electronic fencing equipment, according to the club representative. The fast pace of the machine machines is necessary, he said, because the eye can't follow the action accurately.
The committee will hear the last requests from 12 other groups tonight, Julian Anderson, committee chairman, said the total requests for the grants are $45,000 more than the available funds.
The committee will make cuts in the requests next week and will present its recommendations to the Senate for final approval Oct. 8.
Funds quandary
"We tried to be imaginative and get the city involved in these programs," he said.

MIKE WILDGEN, assistant city manager, said that to get funding organizations had to make oral and written presentations to the Lawrence City Com-
The money is awarded on a quarterly basis, he said. Current funds will last until December. The funds for the next quarter, January-April, 1976, were designated in April, he said. These will be allocated after the first of the year.
Clark said the commission spent a long time deciding which organizations should get funding. Often organizations were denied funds or had their requests slashed.
Clark said that the city favored the revenue sharing program and that commissioners and city officials were quietly lobbying to continue the program.
When the commissioners were in Washington D.C. this June to discuss the Clinton Parkway project, he said, they had received assurances from all the Kansas legislators that they would vote in favor of renewing revenue sharing.
If the government does continue revenue sharing, Clark said he wants to continue funding the people programs. In addition, he wanted to build a park in east Lawrence.
STUART HARDY, legislative aid to Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan., said Dole was committed to revenue sharing and he inked a bill in the Senate to continue the program.
The bill is in the Senate Finance Committee, he said. It is basically the same as the 1972 act, and it would extend the program for five years, he said.
He said Dole's bill was dormant because President Pond also had introduced a bill that would allow the state to
Hardy said he thought the bill would pass

THE MAIN PROBLEM with a late extension, he said, is that cities, counties and states are increasingly under the budget ahead of time. This will increase dependence on government agencies such as the Department of Health, Education and Library, which results in increased centralization of funds.

Harbry said Dole thought cities knew best how to spend their money, and revenue sharing was one of the best ways for cities to determine their financial priorities.
While legislators are trying to extend the revenue sharing program in Washington D.C., some of the local people in Lawrence are wondering where they are going to get money for people programs when the revenue sharing ends.
"It will be a disaster," Ococo Miller, secretary of Pen House, said.
PENN HOUSE, 1035 Pennsylvania St., was given $2,500 in April for the quarter beginning Jan. 1, 1976. It has $1,200 for the present quarter.

Miller said Penn House used the money for emergency food and medicine for people with disabilities, who were selective with its money and it carefully verified that a person or family needed the money.
Penn House is different from some agencies, she said, because it shows the power of local government.

"We sit down with them and teach them how to solve their problems," she said.
Miller said the greatest blow would be against emergency medical help.
"We can always have a canned food dish," she said, "but people can't give away that."
MILLER SAID THAT in the past year Penn House had helped about 150 people who were in need of medicine or medical help.
Bib Steele, director of Ballard Community Center, 708 Elm St., said Ballard Center had helped 53 families in 1974 through revenue sharing funds.
Douglas Tacha, faculty adviser for the Douglas County Legal Aid Society, said
The revenue sharing money is kept in an emergency fund, she said. It is used for groceries, medicine, propane gas or to pay utilities bills, she said.
Legal Aid had received $3,000 for this quarter and the same for next quarter.
Legal Aid provides services for people who can't afford lawyers, she said in 1974 but now owns the firm.
Legal Aid was started with a grant from the Office of Economic Opportunity, she said. The local government was expected to take over when the OEO grant ran out.
"Not getting the money will be a tremendous blow to us," she said.
Neither city officials nor city commissioners know where future funds will come from when the federal revenue sharing program ends.
Lawrence is one of the few cities in the state that is economically sound, Clark said. "It's a positive effect," he added.
"We'll just have to wait," he said. "We have anywhere else to get the money."
