Faculty groups will be consulted as to how money from Campaign Kansas should be allocated, Chancellor Gene A. Budig told members of the University Senate Executive Committee yesterday.
Campaign Kansas is the Kansas University Endowment Association's fund-raising campaign that will begin in May. The campaign is supported by private donations, but Budig predicts that the campaign will surpass that goal.
He said that the drive would last at least three years. Campaign Kansas is designed to serve as a complement to make money, not replace it. he said.
At last week's SenEx meeting, committee members said that they were concerned that money from the project was being used without faculty recommendations.
Budig said that the University already had targeted areas that needed money but that the targets were flexible.
Budig said that the Endowment Association wanted to raise:
larships and fellowships.
■ $15 million to $18 million for libraries and museums.
$20 million to $25 million for scholarships and fellowships.
$15 million to $18 million for instructional and scientific activities
crete." he said.
- $20 million to $22 million for new buildings, such as a performing arts center and two more scholarship halls.
"Everything is not cast in con-
$8 million to $10 million for faculty members to develop exceptional ideas.
- $12 million to $15 million for teaching, scholarship and research professorships.
- $5 million to $25 million for other deserving programs.
Budig said that the University welcomed faculty involvement, and that he expected faculty to help solicit money. Also, faculty committees, such as the University Council planning and resources committee, will be asked to recommend how toIVATE private donations.
However, he said that KU received only a limited amount of general-use money. Contributors earmark 97 percent of their donations in advance.

"Major contributors know what they are interested in and they give accordingly." Budig said.
Evelyn Swartz, SenEx chairman,
said that faculty also wanted reasurance that the University would provide the necessary procedures for distributing the money.
Budig said that the University would follow established procedures for awarding scholarships, fellowships and teaching professorships.
He said that Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, would draft a procedure to award money for exceptional faculty ideas.
After an hour of discussion on Campaign Kansas, SenEx went into executive session to discuss appointments to four University-wide core curriculum subcommittees. No appointments were made.
United Way hopes for more dollars this year
Organization's expansion in Douglas County is reflected by name change, higher goals
By MICHAEL MERSCHEL

United Way is still in the group's title. Their requests for money sound familiar. And the Jayhawk signs at the entrances to campus that show how much money the group has raised look the same as signs from previous years.
But this year's United Way fund drive, which started Oct. 1, is a bit different than in previous years, running the campaign said recently.
The group's name was changed last year to the United Way of Douglas County from the Lawrence United Way Fund. It now is more involved in providing services outside of Lawrence, said Ed Meyen, dean of education and chairman of the KU campaign.
Meyen said the goal for this year's
drive was higher than before, reflecting the broader scope of the group
The University of Kansas campaign is part of the county-wide effort in the gosal at KU is $100,000. It has risen more than raised last year, Meyen said.
The $100,000 also goes along with the 10th anniversary of the United War
Meyen said that despite the increase, the goal was reachable before the drive's end on Nov. 13. Because the name of the organization now says Douglas County instead of Lawrence, more faculty and staff from surrounding areas will feel the United Way can help them and be more likely to contribute, Meyen said.
According to United Way figures, contributions from the University totaled $2,928, 33 percent of KU's
I think probably it's always a challenge to find a way of helping people really understand that their contribution really does make a difference.'

As of Monday, $163,829, or 26 percent of the drive's $638,000 countywide goal, had been raised by the following groups:

Baldwin, $120, or 3 percent of its
Business and industry, $66,639, or 17 percent.
- County government, $12,300, or 107 percent.

Lawrence Memorial Hospital,

$21,382 or 130 percent.
■ Mail division, $13,591, or 36 percent.
Professional, $1,065, or 3 percent. Faculty and staff can contribute to the drive by making one-time donations or agreeing to have money deducted from their payroll each month.
have been invited to participate in the drive, he said.
Meyen said it wasimportant for people to realize that even small contributions helped.
But students also can get involved, Meyen said. The largest student contribution this year came from the Rock Chalk Revue, which raised $12,000. Other student organizations
"I think probably it's always a challenge to find a way of helping people really understand that their needs make a difference," Mveen said.
Barb Smith, executive director of the United Way of Douglas County, said the organization had raised the funds to buy a drive by about 15 percent this year.
Smith said that the organization was hoping to raise the extra money not by asking for greater contributions from people who have given before but by increasing the number of people contributing.
Student senator target of vandals

A KU student senator who last week proposed a student referendum has met with opposition both on and off the Senate flor.
Frank Partnoy, off-campus senator, said he awoke last Friday morning to find the words "No ref" spelled on his car with shaving cream. Partnoy said he also found a note on his computer to him to work within "THE SYSTEM."
Jason Krakow, student body president, said, "I have no idea where any of this stillness is coming from. I don't know if this is any particular group of people."
Partnoy said he did not file a report about the incident with the police. His car had no permanent damage, he said.
During a Senate debate last Wednesday, Partynoy suggested conducting a student referendum on finance in a British comedian Graham Chapman.
A bill presented to the Senate had called for $9,000 to help finance a speech by Chapman. The bill was added to provide $4,500 for the speech.
Partnoy, seeing that the Senate was having difficulty in deciding how much to allocate for the speech, suggested that a student referendum be conducted on the matter. He suggested that students indicate how much money they wanted to allocate for the speech and that the average of these student recommendations be the amount allocated.
The Senate did not approve the referendum, and $7,200 was allocated to state taxes.
Partnoy said that the following nigt somebody wrote on his car with shaving cream and left what he called a threatening note.
According to Partnoy, part of the note said, "There are things we can do about people like you. If you enjoy life don't make us do them. Those of us who don't work within THE SYSTEM will not work at all."
