"Washburn is located in one of the most populous counties in the state and is an excellent facility. The question is whether the state can afford it." A majority on the 11-member panel said admitting Washburn to the Regents system would be premature because the state did not have the money, and a review of the Topeka municipal university's programs
TOPEKA — The Legislative Educational Planning Committee declined yesterday to support Washburn University's plan for being phased into the Regents system over the next five years.
"I think legislators, in generally the last couple of years, are looking at issues on a more statewide basis," said Oleen, LEPC chairperson. "People know there is a state responsibility for higher education.
nation, a part of the Regents system has been going on for nearly three decades and has intensified in the past five years.
However, State Sen. Lana Oleen, R-Ranhattan, whose district includes Kansas State University, said she had detected a lessening of the barrier to Washburn's entry into the Regents system.

"The overall purpose here is for the Lawrence Arts Center to expand its building and provide the opportunity for enhancement of arts programs," he said.
The LEPC asked the Regents to make another report on Washburn's status next November.
The LEPC approved a motion by State Rep. Richard Reinhardt, D-Erie, a former Regents member. It said that, based on the state's tight fiscal condition and the Regents' study of Washburn, the committee was making no recommendation at this time on the admission issue.
The committee did not turn its back totally on Washburn. It adopted a resolution urging creation of a grant program to help needy students pay their tuition costs, and sad it should provide assistance not only to students at the Regents schools but also to those at Washburn and the state's private colleges.
Generally, the six state universities and their constituencies have opposed Washburn's admission on grounds it could dilute the amount of money each of them would receive from the state.

Washburn officials have proposed a five-year phase in at a cost of an estimated $11 million to the state.
Pressed by growing space demands, the Lawrence Arts Center is moving toward expanding its current facilities at Ninth and Vermont streets.
Members of the review panel are Regents John Montgomery of Junction City and Donald Slawson of Wichita, and President Jon Wefald of Kansas State University.
The Regents review will include looking at the state's financial ability to fund another university, a detailed academic study of Washburn's programs, faculty, student body profile and demand for programs by students and identification of various options related to affiliation.
Mayor Bob Schulte said that he supported the expansion because it would make it possible for center representatives to educate the public.
Lawrence Arts Center aims to grow
Saturdays:
In a unanimous vote last night, city commissioners authorized $20,000 to the center for the development of expansion plans. Tom Ferriter, president of the board of directors of the center, said that the money would be used to finalize plans about the exact size, style and cost of the project.
In other action, commissioners voted to approve amendments to the city animal control code despite a request by Raymond Pierotti, KU professor of environmental studies, that restrictions on hybridized dogs and cats be removed. Pierotti said that there was no evidence that hybridized dogs were more dangerous than other breeds of dogs.

Ferriter said that the expansion was necessary because of the increase in programs and participants at the center. When the center began 19 years ago, it had 20 classes with 240 stu-

With the final plans, center representatives will approach potential donors in an effort to acquire some private funding for the project. The city also will pay for part of the renovations, possibly by putting the issue up for a bond vote in April. Exactly how much of the project will be paid for by the city will be determined by the total cost of the project and the amount of private funds raised.

"Although we we've experienced some real growth, we have a feeling that we're not meeting all of the arts needs of Lawrence," Ferriter said. He cited two-year waiting lists to get into some of the center's programs as evidence that not all of Lawrence's needs were being met.
