Changing Times names KU a bargain university
Changing Times magazine has recognized the University of Kansas and Kansas State University as two of the 50 pinniped colleges in the United States.
The monthly business magazine in its November issue cited the two universities as offering high academic standards at below-average costs.
"The article reaffirms our conviction that KU offers an outstanding education at a very reasonable cost," Chancellor Gene A. Budig said yesterday. "We are very pleased KU was included."
Schools were considered to have high academic standards if the average scores for incoming freshmen were above the national average of 18.4 on the American College Test and 893 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test, if admission was not made and if a large proportion of graduates continued their education.
ALL THE schools chosen cost less
than $7,475 per year, the national average of a four-year private college, according to the magazine. Changing Times estimated KU's cost at $4,003 per year for in-state students and K-State's at $4,238 per year.
Other universities chosen were the University of Wisconsin, Madison; the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana; and the University of Texas, Austin. The only other Big Eight university was Iowa State University, Ames.
Robin Eversole, KU director of University Relations, said she did not know whether KU would use the selection to promote the University. She said that after the New York Times Guide to College gave KU a four-star rating, the University put this fact in its admissions literature.
Area schools also listed in the magazine were Rockhurst College, Kansas City, Mo., and William Jewell, Liberty, Mo.

Budget shortage may hurt KU
Staff Reporter
Shortfalls in the state's revenue collections for the past four months are a forewarning that the quality of Kansas higher education may be in jeopardy, a Kansas Board of Regents officer said yesterday.
Revenue collections were more than $29 million short of estimated levels from July to October.
Stan Kopik, Regents executive officer, said any further reductions in appropriations to the Regents schools would result in a higher degree of higher education in the state.
"It threatens our being able to meet our commitments to educate the people of Kansas," Koplik said.
John Carlin said last month that he would announce whether to initiate an allotment system when the revenue estimates were relied upon. He also said there under which the state would review all appropriations to state agencies.
could not be initiated until estimates show that the state is running out of money.
Glee Smith Jr., Regents budget and finance committee chairman, said the Regents budget had already been reduced to $48 million less than was originally requested from the state for this year.
Darwin Daicoff, KU professor of economics, said state estimates based on a projected upward trend in the U.S. unemployment contract reflected a greater increase for October.
But Duncan said he was encouraged by the state's October revenue collections, which showed almost a 5 percent growth from last year.
Despite the shortage in revenue, the needs of the Regents schools are still there, he said.
Regents schools. Some of the effects were increased class sizes and faculty loads. The over-worked faculty can no longer meet some of its responsibilities to students, such as counseling, he said.
Koplik said a 4 percent cut this summer had already hurt most of the
SCHOOLS are forced to use older and sometimes outdated equipment because equipment purchases by the schools have been reduced, he said.
"If all of our equipment was of 1982 vintage we wouldn't be concerned with replacing equipment," Kopik said. "We must have current, state-of-the-art equipment to keep the quality up."
Smith said the Regents had agreed to take the voluntary cuts this summer because of a shortage that came six months before the next legislative session. But now there will be no deadline to wait before the next session, he said.
A tax increase could be enacted by the Legislature in January to bring in revenue to cover the shortfall, Smith said.
Liberal arts dean's stamps still available
Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences can still get dean's stamps, which are necessary to complete pre-enrollment, until Friday, Michael Young, associate dean of the college, said yesterday.
Without the dean's stamp, students will not be allowed to participate in the meeting.
The resolution called for reserved and non-reserved seats to be sold the first week after spring break. Reserved seats would not be assigned until the fall semester, as in the past. Seniors would have priority.
Yesterday was to have been the last day to pick up the dean's stamp, but the deadline was extended because many students were slow about seeing their advisers and getting the stamps. Young said.
Senate ponders open seating
"We had a horrible rush today," Young said. "This is the only day we had a rush."
Holloway said he expected the Senate to approve the bill at its Nov. 17 meeting.
At one time, the line for the dean's stamps stretched from the second floor of the church.
"With the price breaks and seating flexibility, this bill would be in the student's interest," said Mark Holloway, co-chairman of the committee. He said the bill would also make ticket sales administratively easier.
The resolution recommended that non-reserved seats be priced about 10
The Student Senate Committee on Sports approved a resolution yesterday that would make open seating at the entire Senate last year if the entire Senate approves it.
Students picked up their folders at Nunemaker Center early, Young said, but waited to complete the rest of the process.
percent lower than reserved seats and that tickets for each section be of a different size. The resolution also allows all student seating on Parents Day to be non-reserved.
FOR ALL other games, seats in rows 1 to 42 in sections 34 to 40 would be sold as reserved seats, except for sections reserved for the band and for parents of athletes. Seats in rows 43 to 69 in sections would be sold as be sold non-reserved seats.
The machine would replace an old one that Holley said would cost too much.
In other business, the committee recommended that the Senate allocate an additional $10,894.83 to Recreation Services to pay for a new machine to mark yard lines and for salaries for additional employees.
