provide both students and faculty members with increased expertise in specific areas. University faculty members received 342 awards for fiscal 1975. The awards can be used for time periods ranging from a few months to many years. Snider said.
He said that number was 52 more than the
1974 total. 290.
The increase is significant especially because the number of applications from faculty members decreased during the year, Snyder said, implying that the proposals were prepared more carefully than those the previous year.
About 90 per cent of the awards received came from federal agencies, Snyder said. The university has private institutions, and another five per cent came from state sources. State money frequently comes from a federal agency, but nearly all states have state through revenue-sharing programs.
During the fiscal year that KU funds increased by more than six per cent, Snyder said, the federal government increased its tax burdens on research nationwide by only one per cent.
Del Shanker, executive vice chancellor, said, "It's always gratifying to receive increased federal support. This means that in the budgets we build for next year, we can ask the state legislature to increase our research budget overhead."
Shankel told the state set a limit each year for what the University could spend on research. With increased federal funds being received, he said, the University could reasonably ask for an increase from the state.
The $13 million serves only the Lawrence campus, Snyder said. The KU Medical Center received $9.75 million in awards for the fiscal year 1975.

Projects funded during fiscal 1975 range from studies of the internal structure of thunderstorms to studies of child's play in the city.
The National Institute of Health, which donates as many funds as the other three agencies combined, is sponsoring such projects as a study of the proteins in meats and canine distemper viruses and a research center on mental retardation.
When asked whether the increase in funds for research adversely affected a faculty member's teaching, Synder he thought research improved the quality of teaching
Activity at Haskell Indian Junior College was returning to normal last night after a fire early yesterday morning caused $25,000 damage. The Pocahontas Hall, a women's reserve ball hall.
Haskell damage set at $25,000
Frank Quiring, Haskell kein of students, said yesterday that the fire had caused more confusion than anything. He said he was not alone when contents was less than was first expected.
Only one room in the hall was seriously damaged, he said, and the two women who occupied that room have been temporarily located in another part of the building.
No injuries were reported in the fire, which damaged the roof and a tower on top of the building, besides the single room, Quiring said.
Capt. Donald Knight of the Lawrence fire department said the cause of the fire was due to an unattended fire that the fire was turned in at 6:24 a.m., he said, and the fire was brought under control by 6:40.
. .
A temporary root was installed yesterday to cover the area damaged by the fire, but permanent repairs to the roof and tower won't be made until inspectors from the Bureau of Indian Affairs regional office in New York inspect the damage according to Quiring.
About 150 women, most of whom are sophomores, live in Pocahontas Hall.
FIRST DAMAGE estimates to the building ranged between $30,000 and $40,000, according to the fire department, but Quiring said after reassessing the damage that repairs and replacement of the contents would be less than $30,000.
by stimulating the minds of faculty members.
He said that if faculty members were hired solely on the basis of their abilities to teach rather than their scholarly abilities, teaching quality would decline.
Shankel said the increase in funding didn't necessarily mean that faculty would be more active. "It's a problem," he
"It does mean that faculty and graduate research assistants will have more money for research and the supplies and equipment needed for their research," he said.
In the long run, the increased funds should mean better classroom teaching, he
Snyder said, "I think there is a fairly good correlation between good research and good
Forecasts for future research funding are difficult to make, according to Snider.
He said many variables were involved in research awards, even though his office had never conducted any proposals for possible grants. He said funds depended on what researchers were available at KU, how they outlined their goals and the federal budget for research programs was.
"We think we'll be doing pretty well to maintain this position for the next fiscal
"But for the next few years, if anything, there will be an overall decline. From year to year we don't know, but frankly, I take a conservative estimate," Snyder said.
-The student and his committee must specifically outline his field of study, justify it, and outline a course of study and research it.

—His advisory committee's proposal and justification must be approved by the Graduate Studies Committee of the colleges or schools involved. If approved, the student will receive a thesis. A copy of all approval proposals will be given to the dean of the Graduate School.
Smith said the degree had received support from the Assembly of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the Committee on the History and Philosophy of Science and the Environmental Sciences Committee.
A survey of 84 universities found that at
a survey of 102 universities has master of
special education.
Statements supporting establishment of the degree have been submitted by Ronald Calgaard, vice chancellor for academic affairs at Johns Hopkins University; the chancellor; David Dinnen, professor of linguistics; Robert Elermierer, associate dean of the graduate school; Jacob Gordon, associate professor of African studies; and Andrew Deenan, dean of the School of Education.
"The master of special studies degree is such a reasonable thing for meeting the needs of your school, such additional expense," Smith said. "I really don't see why anyone would oppose it."
