Tuition
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Under the failed plan, 20 percent of the fees would have gone toward financial aid and scholarships for CLAS majors.
Some professional school students who would have had to pay the CLAS fees did not like that plan because they would not benefit from the financial aid, according to a previous article in The University Daily Kansan.
The group discussed not enacting the college tuition plan until the five-year fixed tuition plan had begun in Fall 2007, Bentley said. By that time, students would not have to pay increased tuition each year at the University of Kansas.
But the group understands that if students are going be charged more money, then student leaders need to find out what exactly it is they want. Bentley said. The plan's future, especially next year, will be taken slowly, said Kim Wilcox, dean of liberal arts and sciences.
"That's what we heard over and over; too much tuition, too quick," he said.
Under the fixed tuition plan, students would not see a tuition increase during their four years at the University. The fixed tuition plan would last for five years beginning in Fall 2007.
One of the main issues that will be further addressed will be how to reformulate the financial aid and scholarship plan.
"That needs to be a major piece," he said.
"He put so much emotion and energy into it. I don't think it would be possible without him."

"Let's be very systematic,very careful,very thorough on how we approach things," he said.
Bentley said he thought the real fate of the plan would depend on Wilcox being hired as provost for Michigan State University.
One falafel or two?
"He put so much emotion and energy into it. I don't think it would be possible without him." Bentley said.
Bentley said Wilcox reacted in a way that respected the students' opinions.
"The way he responded proved he is a friend to the students and losing him would be a heavy blow," he said.
Wilcox said the plan would be able to survive without him because he had always relied on student advice and leadership. He said he would not know if he would be hired at Michigan State until June. The college has also managed to find its student voice over the past year and a half, he said.

Bridey Maldhof, Overland Park freshman, hands a falefal to a customer on Wescoe Beach yesterday afternoon while Laura Albert, Memphis, Tenn., freshman, prepares pita. The two were selling the falafels with the Hiliel group, which does so monthly. Albert said yesterday's sales were special, though, because Hillel provided Israeli food and activities in commemoration of Israeli independence day, which is today.
Without a yard or outdoor mailbox, residents can travel and not worry about yard maintenance. Boyd said.
The properties range from 1,400 square feet to 2,400 square feet and cost between $200,000 and $480,000. Boyd said the lofts appealed to University faculty because they were travel-friendly.
Marian Hukle, coordinator of the bioscience initiative program, and her husband Jack Porter, chairman of the department of mathematics, will move to a loft on the third floor of the Hobbs Taylor building
from their home in West Lawrence. Hukle said she would like the travel perks of living in a loft.
"If we want to travel, we can go and just lock the door." Hukle said. "We already drive downtown every weekend. We wanted to live where we wung out."
The lofts are located across the street from Last Call and the
Bottleneck. Potential late-night noise shouldn't be a problem, though, Boyd said. The windows and the building are well-insulated, she said.
But Hukle said it wouldn't matter if they weren't.
"Living around young people will keep me alive." Hukle said.
