A state budget analyst visited the University of Kansas yesterday and examined KU's 1983-84 budget request, received reports on student financial construction projects on campus, University officials said yesterday.
The analyst, David Dallam of the Legislature's division of the budget, was gathering information for a report to the Legislature. Dave Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, gave Dallam a report on student financial aid in which he documented investment figures for the fall semester, which were released Monday.
Ambler told Dallam about the University's financial aid situation, he said, to emphasize the financial aid needs of students.
Ambler said the average KU student's course load had dropped, probably because of decreases in the amount of financial aid available. Students are likely to be carrying fewer hours, so they had to work more, he said.
ALSO, JOBS are more difficult to get. Ambler said that about 130 student hourly jobs at KU have been dropped as a result of the budget cuts. Likewise, 182 student positions were cut, and 46 of student positions available by 250.
And reports from the Student Employment Center indicate that 30 percent fewer jobs have been advertised there. Ambler said.
THOUGH THERE are more students at KU this semester, there was a
decrease in the full-time equivalent enrollment figure, an indication that more students are taking lighter class loads. The FTE is calculated by dividing the total number of credit hours taken by KU students by the average full-time course load and law students. There were 410 more students attending KU this fall, but the FTE was 70 less than last year.
The FTE enrollment figure is used as a "thumbmail measure" by the Legislature in determining some appropriation to state schools.
However, having more students at KU will drain the University's resources. Amber said, despite the decline in average course load.
DALLAM TOURED several com-
mers and proposed construction sites on cement.
At Bailey Hall, Dallam saw brown stains on the ceiling, a result of the building's faulty air-conditioning system, said Keith Nitcher. University director of business affairs KU's budget request includes $220 million for upgrading and modernizing the air-conditioning equipment.
Dale Scannell, dean of the School of Education, said the air conditioning at Bailey had malfunctioned for four or five years. The hall goes without air conditioning to two for four weeks each time it breaks down, he said.
DALLAM ALSO viewed the site for the proposed west library, which would be built near the Military Science building. He toured the Murphy Hall and the Science Building, and added, both under construction, and Watson Library, Nitcher said.

Henry said that benefactors who donated restricted funds for buildings could specify what school, college or department would use the buildings. The University and the executive committee of the Enowment Association decide who will use buildings built with unrestricted funds, he said.
Endowment Association aids expansion

From the slopes of Mount Oreden to the faintlands west of the campus and north of Baldwin, the Kansas University Endowment Association owns land that one day may be used for University of Kansas expansion, the Endowment Association's vice president for property said yesterday.
So far, the University has built Youngberg Hall, Foley Geohydrology Center, Smissman Laboratory, McColum Laboratory, Moore Hall and Parker Hall on this land. These buildings are from alumni and with the Endowment Association's investment funds, Henry said.
The Endowment Association owns about 1,000 acres of land in Douglas County, and most of it is owned on behalf of KU for University development, said Martin Henry of the Endowment Association.
A LARGE section of this land is 470 acres located west of Iowa Street and north of 23rd Street. Allen Wiechert, University director of facility planning, said the University had named 230 acres of this land, which includes West Campus.
WIECHERT said that the University would build additional research facilities on this land. Additional support areas also will be built, he said. Support facilities already in use are the playing fields for student intramurals, the Endowment Association building and the KU Printing Service.
THE LAND that the Endowment Association owned on Stewart Avenue was land the University intended to use for fraternities, Henry said. The Endowment Association then subdivided the land and sold to the houses on the block to several fraternities, a sorority and a scholarship hall.
The Endowment Association still owns the land where the Tau Kappa Beta fraternity is located.
The 204 acres north of Walden that the Endowment Association owns also include the following:
The Endowment Association also owns about five tracts of land south of 14th Street between Lillac Lane and Tennessee Street, Henry said. Scholarship Halls and University parking make up most of this area.
"WHEN WE bought the land where the Alumni Association is now, we didn't know exactly what we wanted to do with it," Henry said.
to be used for experimental research, Wiechert said.
THE ENDOWMENT Association also owns land in the Oread Neighborhood, near campus. The K.S. "Boots" Adams Alumni Center, now under construction, is being built on the Oread land.
This land was bought at the request of the University for the program in experimental and applied ecology. This land will be left wild and will continue
The five lots around the 3000 block of Louisiana Street also were bought for University development, Henry said. He occupied two buildings on those lots.
And the Pioneer Cemetery, northwest of the fraternity, also is still owned by the Endowment Association.
