Tuitions don't cover 25% of costs
By BARBARA ROSEWICZ
Staff Writer
Despite the fact that University of Kansas students aren't paying 25 per cent of their educational costs as suggested by a Kansas legislative committee, next fall's tuition increase might be the last for at least a couple of years.
The Kansas Commission for Post-secondary Educational Planning, the 1202 Commission, reported this week that tuitions at the six Regents institutions were providing than the 25 per cent of the total costs afforded by the committee recommended by a legislative committee in 1966.
Even with a $50 increase a semester for residents and a $150 increase in non-residents' tuition approved in June by the Regents for fall 1977, Regents school's average cost is $24.1 per cent of their education costs next year, according to the commission.
NEXT YEAR'S tuition at KU has been raised from $250 to $255. The figure doesn't
include some $80 a student in special and activity fees.
Percentages for next year are only approximate because the general use funds, used in working out the percentages, are not accurate. Therefore, you cannot allocate some schools' total requests.
This fiscal year, without the tuition increases, the commission has estimated that students state-wide will pay 18.9 per cent, and KU students will pay 20.2 per cent, of the cost of their education. Universities and colleges pay different shares.
An estimated $8.8 million in state revenue would have been generated this year had students paid 25 per cent of their educational costs, the commission reported.
A 1986 legislative budget committee first introduced the 25 per cent figure as an estimate of the share that students should pay for their education. Committee members concerning tuition are presented to the Regens, who control tuition charges.
Sen. Joseph Harder, R-Moundridge and chairman of the 1202 Commission, said Wednesday that the committee hadn't discussed what recommendations to make at present.
The 25 per cent figure was used as a "rule of thumb," the he said, and when a figure that is more than 25 per cent would be
"I DONT KNOW whether 25 per cent is right, now," Harder said. "We have to determine what inflation has done to the education and how well people can afford it."
Aside from basic tuition fees, he said,
special fees also enter into the amount
students pay. He said the committee was
trained to give a student a contribution to his education.
The committee will continue to study the problem, Harder said, though he didn't know whether committee recommendations could be considered by the legislature this year.
John Conard, executive officer of the
Regents and a member of the 1966 budget committee, said yesterday that the Regents' policy was to increase tuition only every three or four years.
Tuition was last increased in 1973 by $25 a semester for students and $125 a semester for nonstudents. It was increased in 1970 by $125 students and by $125 for nonstudents.
"It would be my guess," Conard said, "that the Regents wouldn't take any further action on this issue and legislate to do so. I would not anticipate that. There really has never been any legislative action on this at all. The Regents have always had the respon-
Chancellor Archie Dykes agreed that it was unlikely the Regents would raise tuition. He said he believed it was important that a student pay his share of educational costs and that a high school graduate become available to students whose otherwise couldn't afford to go to KU
Party labels overlooked, avoided
By MARTIN ZIMMERMAN
Political candidates in Douglas County who leave their party's name out of their advertising do so either overtly or subtly, the candidates and party officials said yesterday.
Americans from both the Democratic and
republican parties said the practice was didn't
deter them.
In a recent issue of the Kansan, only two of nine political ads denoted the candidate's party affiliation. Wednesday's Lawrence Daily Journal-World ran twelve political advertisements, and only three carried the candidate's partylabel.
AN OFFICIAL for the Douglas County Democratic Central Committee, who asked not to be identified, said he thought many of the candidates chose not to identify closely with their party because they wanted to be part of a group as individuals rather than partisans.
The official said that by not affiliating closely with either party, a candidate might win votes among persons registered as independents.
"I don't think that party labels have the meaning for voters that they once did," the official said. "The party serves as a vehicle to bring the candidates to public notice, but we don't try to force them to use the party's name in their ads."
HANK BOOTH, campaign manager for Republican State Sen. Arden Booth's reelection drive, said the deletion of the governor's name was "more inadaptant than intentional."
"Arden is running in areas like
Tonganoxic and Eudora, which are both heavily Republican," Booth said. "So it's not like we're trying to hide the fact of which party he belongs to."
Democrat Carol Francis, who is running for the 45th District seat in the state legislature, said an oversight was also the reason party identification was left off some of her ads. She added, however, that the deletion could work in her favor.
"I DON'T PLAN to add it to future advertisements," she said. "If that attracts independent voters to an independent candidate, then maybe I've gained something."
Other candidates and party officials also said they didn't deliberately leave the party.
admitted that it could work to their advantage.
John Lungsturm, head of the county Republican committee, said that campaigning under the party was easy. Many voters have a low opinion of party affiliation, he said, and some of the candidates have accurately appraised the treatment and deleted party affiliations.
REPUBLICAN STATE Rep. Lloyd Buzii agreed with Lungsturm, saying he has a plan to force him to vote.
"Most candidates have the basic philosophy of their respective parties," he said, "but they want people to understand how to just be representing a partisan group."
SenEx votes for students' voice
With one dissenting vote, SenEx yesterday voted that faculty and student opinion should be considered in a contemplated move of the annual KU-MU football game to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
Pipe repaired
Frances Horowitz, associate dean of the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, voted against the resolution, saying it didn't come under SenEx' juridiction.
A break in a main water pipe水管 of Murphy Hall kept several campus buildings without water for about two hours early yesterday. Service was restored by 8 a.m.
The University of Kansas Athletic Corporation has considered making the move in an effort to make more money on the annual football rivalry.
