Fe University Daily Kansan, November 9, 1982 Page 7 KU, state agencies await fiscal forecast By STEVE CUSICK Staff Reporter KU administrators and officials at other state agencies have been pondering these questions and are waiting anxiously for Nov. 12. To cut or not to cut, to lay off or not to lay off — the answers may come Nov. 12 when the state's fiscal future becomes less cloudy. At that time, an economic consensus group that makes revenue projections for the state will tell state officials what the state expects for the rest of fiscal year 1983. Gov. John Carlin probably will reveal future budget measures in response to the revised projections shortly after Nov. 12, said Stanley Koplick, executive officer of the Kansas Board of Regents. In the meantime, the administrators anxiously wait. JAMES HIBB, KU associate director of business affairs, said, "About all I can say is there is a great deal of all that we do. We are all but surprised but I'm not sure how." Robert Cobb, KU executive vice chancellor, said, "I think that everyone in the Regents schools would like to attend." He can about the state's fictional picture. The administrators said Carlin's office had given no indication of what to do. "I have no idea what he'll do," Bibb said. "I think it will be interesting to watch. "I haven't heard anything. I haven't even heard rumors." "Everybody suspects there is going to be a revision downward," Koplich叫 The big questions are the magnitude of reductions and what will be cut to reduce the costs. ALTHOUGH THE administrators do not know what course Carlin will take, the direction of the revised revenue predictions is almost certain. Officials said the University already had taken its share of the state's budget-tightening when Carlin implemented the 4 percent reduction last year. Koplick and Cobb said that they hoped higher education would escape more reductions. KU officials also have said that the state agencies not affected by the program should be considered for reductions if future cuts are needed this year. FEARS OF further reductions and possibly layoffs have been fueled by gloomy revenue statistics issued from Topeka. Revenue receipts for the first four months of this fiscal year have fallen $29 million short of projections. University officials said that although the state's fiscal future would be clearer after Nov. 12, a lot of the budget questions would not be answered until the legislative session, which begins in January. --for the lite-hearted lunch INTRAMURAL SQUASH DOUBLE-ELIMINATION TOURNAMENT BEGINNING AT 10:00 AM NOV. 13 ENTRY DEADLINE: NOV. 10 AT 5 pm IN ROOM 208 ENTRY FEE: $1.00 ROBINSON Funded by the Student Activity Fee --for the lite-hearted lunch ANCIENT CHRISTIANITY Have you ever wondered why the Apostles had such power and unity?

Harris chairman returns to KU By VERONICA JONGENELEN Staff Reporter Students taking classes in the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications will have the opportunity this week to learn from someone who, in the future, may sign their paychecks. Peter Macdonald, chairman of the board of Harris Enterprises Inc., which owns newspapers and radio stations in Kansas and neighboring states, will observe classes and answer questions from students all this week, said Mary Wallace, assistant professor of journalism. Macdonald, who was a business student at the University of Kansas from 1946-47, said his experience as a KU student was valuable. He has said that he wanted other students to benefit from his 40 years of journalism experience. TO MAKE THAT possible, Macdonald said, he would like to teach for a semester in the journalism school. His work this week as a guest lecturer and observer will help both him and the journalism school decide whether that will become reality, he said. "I want to look things over and be looked over," he said. "I'm here to learn for myself and to answer questions." Macdonald visited three journalism classes yesterday and will attend two or three classes each day through Friday. In the past, Harris has hired many KU journalism students for internships and permanent positions on their publications, said Dana Leibengood, assistant dean of the School of Journalism. Macdonald said questions asked by KU journalism students were both challenging and similar to what he had expected. He described the students as bright and eager to gather information with 12 radio stations in Texas, Illinois and Kansas, Lloyd Ballhagen, Harris president, said. Many of those hired go to Harris newspapers in Oatle, Hutchinson and Salina. he said. Others work at Harris-owned radio stations. HARRIS owns 11 daily newspapers in Kansas, Iowa and California, along "You can't just file them away winn- an answer," he said. "You have to think ahead." SKI FEVER NIGHT Macdonald became chairman of the board in 1978 after serving as Harris' president since 1966, Ballhagen said. Before that, he was Harris' general editor and author, and publisher of the Hutchinson News, a Harris news paper. In a previous interview, the 66-year-old Macdonald said he was tapering down his workload as he reached retirement age. If he does, decide to teach, Macdonald said, it will not end his association with Harris.
