KU fee windfall to spur Regents
By JIM COBB Staff Writer
The Kansas Board of Regents is expected tomorrow to ask the 1977 Kansas Legislature to give the majority of Kansas votes in favor of a $2.5 billion in fees that were collected this fall.
KU also is to ask that funding for additional students be included in the fiscal
The fees were from the 810 more students enrolled than were originally projected. The University has state permission to spend $25,000 projected from a projected number of students.
The Regents and their committees are to act on lengthy agendas at both their regular monthly meeting and meetings of various Regents committees today and tomorrow.
THEY ARE expected to request additional funding for utilities because of energy costs that exceed allocated funds and may recommend that annual rates for

Three new Kansas universities, in name at least, could result from action taken this month and next by the state Board of Regents.
Regents to hear 3 state colleges play name game
Administrators from Kansas State College of Pittsburg, Fort Hays State College, and Wichita Falls have requested that their colleges' names be changed. Two Regents' committees will discuss the proposal today and tomorrow and approve the Regents' amend the names changes.
The Regents could act on the proposal at their monthly meeting Friday or at their November meeting. The Kansas nature would have to give final approval.
**NAMES PROPOSED** for the colleges are Emoria State University, Pittsburgh State University and either Fort Hays State University or the University of the Great Plains.
Tedde Tasheff, student body president and coordinating committee member, said yesterday that the proposal had been discussed in past meetings, but that there had been no action taken on the name changes.
Tasheef predicted that the coordinating committee would approve the changes. The sentiment of the proponents is that changing the title would make Kansas colleges conform with a general national trend, she said.
Chancellor Archie Dykes said the traditional definition of a university as a school with a liberal arts college, graduate studies programs and several professional schools was being changed to mean any institution of higher education.
"IT'S PARTICULARLY important to faculty members who think that if they could be teaching in a place called a university in another state, that they should be entitled to the same kind of title at a similar school here," she said.
For example, he said, most private and parochial "universities" in Kansas actually don't offer the programs of traditional universities.
students living in residence halls be raised by $35.
The Regents Institutions Coordinating Committee is to discuss a proposal that the names of three state colleges be changed to universities and also will discuss possible changes in the calendar of Regents' schools for the next two academic years.
One of those changes might be to postpone first-eventer examinations until after Christmas, holidays. Chancellor Ernie Johnson proposed the proposal discussed by the Regents' Council of President because 'some personal thought that school had begun too early,
DYKES SAID he seriously doubted that the current scheduling method of having final exams before Christmas would be changed.
Another proposal, if passed, would increase the number of holidays during spring
KU has asked the Regents to increase the expenditure limit on the Parking Fees Fund from $447,755 to $477,755. Dykes said the change would free additional money to finish painting the Ozone parking lot near gymnasium Gymnasium and other parking areas.
The Regents may recommend a 15 percent increase in retirement benefits for former University employees. In addition, a report of a budget committee on how eminent would be dropped if enrollment declines in Regents' schools will be discussed.
THE REGENTS are to request that the Kansas Legislature amend the wording of a description of the Service Clearing Fund so that University-related groups, such as the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation, Kansas, University, Endowment Association, University, Education, Alumni Association and student groups, can use the service clearing account.
Receipts and payments from such University services as the computation center and the printing service are kept in the service clearing fund. Because of the current wording of this Fund's description, groups may not legally use the services.
Three new bachelor's degree programs in the School of Allied Health at the KU Medical Center will be up for approval by the Reents Health Education Committee.
The Regents' Council of Presidents, which comprises presidents and heads of Regents' schools, is to discuss liability insurance, refunds for students who withdraw from school and enrollment declines at some state colleges.

Staff nurses may complain about the odd work schedules at the KU Medical Center, but so far all they have been able to do is accent the hours or quit.
an eight to five work shift may be routine for many employees, such a shift is usually more favorable.
Shots still scheduled
Vaccinations for swine flu are to begin as scheduled Oct. 27 for high-risk people in Lawrence, despite the death this week of a person who had been infected by persons hours after receiving the vaccine.
Swine flu shots are to be given Wednesday, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Oct. 27 at the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Clinic, 701 New Hampshire St., for people 45 years or older and those with chronic health conditions. The clinic will provide a written referral from their physicians.
A clinic in Watkins Hospital will be open 2 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 28 to give the women information.
The Kansas Health Department recommended Tuesday that Kansas clinics continue vaccination plans on schedule for patients who develop mendations after the deaths in Kansas yesterday, according to Kay Kent, director of evidence-Douglas County Health Department.
The first local swine flu shots were given Thursday to nursing home patients. Kent said she hadn't heard of any severe reactions to the vaccine in the Lawrence area.
center. They must work various combinations of day and night shifts to keep the team on task.
The day shift is from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The evening shift is from 3:10 to 11:30 p.m.
and then from 11:30 to 4:00 p.m.
Under the system of varying shifts, nurses sometimes get only one day a week off or get off at 11:30 p.m. and have to be at an office at half a hour later the next day at 7 a.m.
Vaccinations for others of the community should be available the first couple weeks in New York.
"NURSES MAYBE wouldn't feel quite so bad about working evening or night shifts if they were getting paid more." Sharon Center, said Tuesday.
A Board of Regents recommendation to this year's legislature asks for reconsideration of the Civil Service system, which controls nurses' salaries.
Chancellor Archie Dykes said the legislature could consider making nurses' salaries more competitive with other area hospitals and paying a shift differential. PAYING 10 per cent more for evening and
Seats available for KSU game
The KU-K-State football game, set for Oct. 23, already has been announced as a sellout, but Carol Adolf, K-State ticket manager, said yesterday that the team will be set up on the north side of KSU KSudium for the game.
By GERRY O'CONNOR
THE OFFICIAL attendance at the KU-KState game two years ago was 43,576, which was the KSU Stadium attendance record. This year, with the extra chairs, the attendance could reach 48,000.
Many probably remember the 1974 KU-KState game in Manhattan as being extremely crowded and the team's defense was inept.
SHARON LONGERG, Overland Park junior, said, "There was a really long line at the room. It took about 45 minutes to get to the bathroom. And the food was so good." The kids were excited and you couldn't walk around, but I thought it was fun."
"The ushers didn't know where to sit people," she said. "They sat KU people in the K-State section and K-State people in the KU section. I tried to sit with some friends but ended up having to sit in my assigned seat. At the game went on, it became more and more crowded. The game our row was so packed you couldn't 'budge.'
Linda Ramsey, St. Louis junior, described the conditions at the 1974 case as "mass confusion."
Tickets for these seats, which are 88, will on sale Tuesday morning at the K-State ticket office.
Larry Gasson, Topeka senior, said there were no aisles in the bleacher sections.
"Once we made it into the bleachers we stayed there because it was too much trouble to move." he said.
Leah Stevens, Garnett senior, said she had to treat people from her seat and finally leave.
"HAD ABOUT a half an inch to sit in," she said. "I felt they oversold the place. If they would me my seat, why couldn't 'it is there?' I didn't see my seat because he was not here. It was really it was no worse than a crowded game here."
At the 1974 game there were also temporary bleachers set up high on the south side of the stadium. Adolf said these bleachers wouldn't be set up for this season because they weren't available two years ago, and they weren't available this year.
THE TEMPORARY bleachers on the southwest and southwest corners of the stadium are up for all the home football games, Addlid say. However, the prices are a bit high. The game. A bleacher seat ticket for the 1974 game cost $8.
She said the tickets for bleacher seats usually cost $5, but if there were a large demand for tickets to a certain game, as there usually was for the KU, Nebraska and Oklahoma games, the price of tickets for the bleacher seats ros to $5. The decision on the price of the tickets for the game is made before the season begins. Adolf said.
The capacity of KSU Stadium is 42,000. That includes about 3,500 temporary bleacher seats in the upper level.
Although some KU students have complained that tickets to the 1974 game were oversold, Adolf said, this

assistant athletic director, said the business office decided to set up chairs instead because "we thought it was more comfortable."
COLLERT SAID that K-State hoped to set up 3,000 to 4,000 chairs, but that he wasn't sure-exactly how many would be up because final arrangements for the rental of the chairs hadn't been made. The K-State athletic department will rent the chairs from the K-State physical plant and a rental firm in Kansas City, MN.
Despite the crowded conditions at the 1974 game, Adolf said, she has received no complaints from either KU or K-State people about being crammed into the stadium. However, she said, she has received complaints from K-State fans about being crammed into the south side of Memorial Stadium at football in Lawrence.
Doug Messler, KU assistant athletic director, said he hadn't received complaints from people about being treated for an aneurysm.
HE SAID THE reason he hadn't received any complaints was probably that "It's pretty much expected that you have to take the seats you're given when you're the visiting team."
Messer said KU didn't sell standing room only tickets to its games.
"Sometimes we set up extra chairs for a game, but we're limited by the amount of space we have," he
"I think that with time, if you're going to work at the Med Center 10 years and make a career out of it, you should have some seniors and have the shift you want."
Messer said that every stadium had a listed capacity, but that more people than the listed capacity could attend a game as long as the aisles and restrooms conformed to fire regulations.
"THE LIFESTYLE of the nurse makes it hard to have a family and rotate shifts," Teresa Wilson, an RN who works two different shifts a week, said. "We expect as nurses to put in our weekends and holidays, but we also know some kind of pattern, some consistency."
The Civil Service system defines wage
and doesn't provide for shift differen-
Dykes has reported that Med Center salaries range from five to 12 per cent below the salaries in other area hospitals, and that most other hospitals nay shift differential.
WILSON SAID she hadn't applied for a day position because she wanted to work as a staff nurse on the pediatrics floor and no day positions were offered there.
She hasn't left the Med Center for a day job in another hospital because her work at the Med Center is more challenging, she has a lot of health care and treats more rare cases, she said.
Blevins said that even though other hospitals do offer day shifts, a new nurse at another hospital had worse hours than those at the Med Center.
"At another hospital, you start on straight nights for several months, but eventually you have the chance to be on straight days for the rest of your life."
JOANNA FRIERSON, who has been a licensed practical nurse for 13 years at the Med Center, said she would have to take a leave of absence if her salary is almost at the top of the pay scale.
she said. Salaries increase with seniority. Mary Elisseen, director of nursing seniority, director of nursing encouraged to work three different shifts a week to make scheduling more flexible.
When day positions become available in the patient clinics, she said, the jobs are given to the people thought to be the most qualified.
She said that many times the person with seniority was the most qualified, but that seniority didn't necessarily guarantee a person one of the day positions.
KC can clinch pennant today
The Kansas City Royals and the New York Yankees meet tonight in the final showdown for supremacy of the American League.
The last game of the league's best-of-five play-off series starts at 7:15 in Yankee Stadium.
Ed Figueroa, a 19-game winner in the regular season but a 74-loser Sunday night to the Royals, will pitch for the Yankees.
KC manager Whitey Herzog, however, said he was undecided on his pitcher. He was set to choose from the Giants and the Dennis Leonger and Marty Martin.
The Royals smashed New York yesterday, 74, to even the play-off series at two wins each.
The team that wins tonight gets to meet the National League champion Cincinnati Reds in the World Series, starting Saturday in Cincinnati.
Fewer calls to information since adoption of charge
The number of directory assistance calls to Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. has been reduced by nearly 60 per cent since the company's adoption of a 10 cent charge for more than five such calls a month, a new report from Commission Commission (KCC) said last night.
the commissioner, Pete Loux, talked informally with Douglas County Young Democrats about his job in the commission and state Democratic politics. Loux is a former leader of the Kansas House of Representatives.
THE FIVE PER cent who have gone over
Loux told his audience that about 95 per cent of Bell's customers hadn't been billed for any directory assistance calls, indicating they had stayed under the five-call system.
the limit have been billed an average of 65 cents a month, he said.
However, Louis said, the rate charge is still in the experimental stage and subject
