REGENTS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Kathy Damron, University lobbyist, said most people thought about the classroom experience when they thought of universities but not the research areas.
"There are hundreds of millions of dollars in research activity on all of the college campuses and one bad flood or a leaky pipe can wash away tens of millions of dollars of research," Damron said. "To not take care of the infrastructure is putting a lot of that investment at risk."

Kansas State has a maintenance backlog of $209.4 million, the highest in the state. The University (excluding the Medical Center) is second in the state with $168.5 million in deferred maintenance.

RECRUITMENT (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"The intent of the comment was not to be negative," Reynolds said. "The focus of our recruitment was the relationships with the women and not the chapter facility."
Reynolds said that in the past, the new house was used as a selling point, but she said in the three years she's been a part of AGD, that hasn't been the case.
"We've never recruited because of the new house!" Reynolds said.
Alix Fried, a 2006 alumna who joined Sigma Delta Tau, said she remembered during formal recruitment in 2002 how much Alpha Gamma Delta played up the idea of living in a new house.
"It was definitely a big thing they were pushing," she said.
Fried said that the sorority had a huge poster and blueprints of what the new house was going to look like.
"They told us wed be moving in shortly if we joined," Fried said.
She said at the time active members of AGD said the move-in to a new house could be as soon as the next school year.
Fried said that because of the importance of a house to a fraternity or sorority, the idea of moving in to something new was really special.
Fried eventually chose not to join the AGD sorority, because of friends joining other chapters and the fact she felt more comfortable elsewhere, but said she felt bad for the women of the sorority without a house.
Several other women who went through sorority recruitment between 2002 and 2004, some who pledged to a sorority and others who
did not, confirmed that building a new house was always a significant component of recruitment.
As for the new house, it has been an emotional load for the sorority. Financial concerns and, more recently, the drafting of plans, have pushed back the opening of a new house. "We've hired a professional fundraiser, and if everything happens the way it could, the hope is that we could have a house to move in to by August of 2008." Pitts said.
Pitts added that if the sorority had used a professional fundraiser five years ago, it might be in a different situation now. In either case, Pitts said the group was moving in a positive direction.
Concerning where the group will live next school year, Pitts holds out hope that a deal can be reworked with Sigma Nu to extend its lease. However, Tom Rost, a former Sigma Nu member and a longtime member of the local Sigma Nu board, said that the fraternity's plan was to take possession of its house when the lease with Alpha Gamma Delta expired in July. AGD leased the Sigma Nu house for this year after the fraternity lost its charter.
No date has been set for when the two groups will discuss a possible renewal. If a deal can't be reached, the sorority will look at other housing options.

Ranzau, an orthopedic physician assistant, said he wanted to know why tuition rates were increasing.
Economy
"We need to keep an open mind to see what other solutions might be out there instead of throwing money at it," he said.
GOVERNOR (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Kramer, a mechanic for Spirit AeroSystems, would like a free market system that he said would guarantee students an affordable education.
"I ask everyone at KU to take
a good look at everyone in Indonesia to look at how their dollar plummeted overnight and how college students were in the streets rioting because they couldn't afford education," he said. "We are reliv-
"Four of the people who flew their planes into our buildings on 9/11 had been pulled over by highway patrol and let go."
Barnett has several tactics to improve the state's economy, the first being the removal of the state Supreme Court's control over the budget. He would also give tax cuts: a 10 percent investment tax credit for businesses and a $500 increase in tax exemptions for every dependent in a family.
ties as you graduate," Barnett said. "If you look at the history, Kansas workers earn less than our neighboring states because of the poor business climate in our state."
ing the Soviet Union again right here in America. What we're after is reduced costs in universities. I don't know how, but they'd better plan to do it."
Prospects for college students looking for a job after graduation are good, Sebelius said, though all her challengers disagree. She said the demand for workers with advanced training and post-secondary degrees was reaching a new high.

"I will continue to support our educational institutions from preK to post-secondary, so that every Kansan is prepared to enter the work force trained and ready," she said.
"Our state has lagged behind in terms of economic growth," he said. "We are lagging behind the rest of the nation. Some people seem to be focused on budget deficits; what we have is a growth deficit."
Barnett's projections about the economy were not so positive.
He said Kansas was leading the nation in terms of government jobs but lagging in private-sector job growth.
Ranzau said that the state had

a strong economy but that people were overtaxed and the government had too much control.
"There shouldn't be running debt at any level of government," he said. "We need to be
responsible with taxpayers' money."
Ranzau said he supported a taxpayer's bill of rights. He also sees a need for a flat tax or fair tax on the national level so property taxes, franchise fees and income tax could be eliminated.
"I think that empowers the people and decreases the expenses for businesses," he said. "It eliminates loopholes and spreads tax to everyone."
Illegal immigration
Illegal immigration is a hot topic in this race, and the main reason Ranzau decided to run for office.
Sebelius said the control of America's borders was the duty of the federal government. She said the state was forced to deal with the consequences of federal government's inaction. That's why she ordered members of the Kansas National Guard to assist in securing the border, she said.
She wants to crack down on employers who hire illegal immigrants, she said, because "their reckless disregard for the law is creating the situation that led to this crisis."
Barnett and Ranzau also agree that employers should be punished
the children of illegal immigrants. She emphasized it was not a giveaway because the students must have gone to a high school for at least three years. They are also required to take steps to become legal citizens — including signing an affidavit of intent.
Ranzau said he is the only one in the race "talking tough" on immigration.
"Illegal immigration affects your health care, your jobs, your wages, your taxes, your prisons, so we need to do something about it." he said. "Anyone who says it's a problem for the federal government either doesn't understand the problem or simply doesn't want to do anything about it. And that's what the governor does."
He suggested a multifaceted, multilevel approach would involve law enforcement and eliminate the social safety net drawing immigrants to the country. If all the areas work together, he said, the state creates an area conducive to keeping illegal immigrants out.
Unlike Sebellius, Barnett does not support drivers' licenses for illegal immigrants and said the governor's proposed policy was reckless. He also doesn't support in-state tuition for illegal immigrants and said too many Kansas families could not afford their children's education.
"We don't have any business giving them better treatment than American citizens," he said.
He said the state needed to protect the voting system's integrity by providing photo ID to everyone, including low-income families.
He also said the state should work more closely with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the federal agency, so that the highway patrol and other local law enforcement agencies could be involved in immigration issues.
"Four of the people who flew their planes into our buildings on 9/11 had been pulled over by highway patrol and let go," he said. "That's a significant issue."
