School budgets OK'd
By RICHARD PAXSON Kansan Staff Reporter
TOPEKA-In what was literally an eleventh-hour action, the Kansas Senate approved late Saturday night the budgets of the six state colleges and universities.
The legislature adjourned at about 11 p.m. Saturday until April 22, when officers will return to consider gubernatorial matters and bills still in conference committees.
Approval of the budgets for the Board of Regents schools came, after little debate, at an unusual Saturday night session of the legislature as both houses rushed to clear their dockets before their scheduled adjournment.
The bill, which includes the University of Kansas budget, now goes for approval to Gov. Robert F. Bennett. He is expected to sign the bill this week. The bill's provisions aren't substantially different from the one proposed by Bennett made to the legislature on Jan. 23.
The $24.8 million appropriation to the regents includes $8.6 million to finance a 10 per cent faculty salary increase and $2.9 for a 15 per cent increase in other operating expenses. The remaining are for salaries and wages and $3,540,613 for other operating expenses at the University.
Treasurer foresees Senate debt
By GREG HACK

Next year's Student Senate may be in debt $17,000 to $20,000 because of an overestimation of the 1975-76 student activity fee revenues, John House, Senate treasurer, said at the StudEx meeting Sunday.
The Senate had anticipated $425,064 in student activity fee revenue for allocation at its budget meetings April 16-17, but now it estimates revenues will total $407,000.
The reason this gap may materialize is that 2,500 students who will pay no fees were included in the 1975-76 enrollment projection of 39,800. House said.
House said that he now projected the equivalent of only 33,943 students paying full-time fees, instead of 35,422 projected before.
The funds from underestimating enrollment could be the only feasible
The 2,500 students will be in the Outreach Program or are off-campus students. House said and neither classification of students pays the $12 activity费.
House said he wasn't sure where the money would come from to make up the deficit. He said the possibilities included the controlled reserve fund, money left over from this year's organizations and extra funds underestimating the 1974/75 enrollment.
This would mean an additional 935 students paying a total of $1,220 fees this year.
The controlled reserve fund, calculated at 50 cents per student, will be $17,712, about equal to the revenue坡. But many groups who won't receive their requests for funding will only have to request money in the fall when one-self the reserve fund becomes available Nov. 1.
Lewis Gregory, last year's chairman of the Senate Finance and Auditing Committee, said Saturday that there probably was a problem with how money left over four year's organization.
This means next year's Senate, if House's revenue estimate is correct, may be forced to depend mainly on excess revenue from the state. The 2017-7475 enrollment to make up for the deficit
House said this year's projected full-time equivalent enrollment was 31,476, but it will probably be 32,411, according to Gil Dyck, dean of admissions and records.
Bills to release funds from the Senate's contingency fund and set for priorities for the expenditure of the possible excess funds were introduced at the StudEx meeting.
Appropriation of $8,500 from the Senate program fund has already been recommended for organizations that will have staff, but some members say $8,500 isn't enough.
One bill sponsored by Kathy Dugan, graduate student senator, requested that $10,000 of the current $12,466 contingency fund be distributed among the Senate's standing committees for allocations to applicant groups.
House said he would check with Mike Davis, university general counsel, on the legality of allocating this year's company funds for next year's organizations.
Ed Rolfs, student body president, said the bill would require another series of committee hearings before the end of April, when the budget must be completed. Rolfs he would veto the bill if passed by the Senate.
"I think it would set a bad precedent to
spend this year's money for next year's groups." Rolfs said.
He said that allocating the money for next year was unwise because some groups were more proficient in managing it.
The summer Kansan, the Black Arts Alliance and the Hang Glider Club have requests totaling more than $8,500, Rolfs said.
Shari Spencer, a spokesman for the council, said the council considered the contingency fund a viable source of revenue.
The bill was referred to the Finance and Auditing Committee.
Another bill from Dugan specified how $,978 of the $,500 from the program fund could be spent among the 11 organizations of the council.
"We realize other groups need funding, which is why we did not request the full $8,500 for ourselves," Dugan said. "This money is still too little, but we think the organizations can keep the doors open with this amount."
Rolfs said he would propose a similar list
of priorities for the expenditure of the $8,500 at Wednesday's Senate meeting.
He said he would confer with the council before submitting his list, which would be submitted on Wednesday.
A bill specifying allocation of additional funds from this year's enrollment increase was submitted by Diane Lyon, holdover senator.
The bill would put the first $,000 of the extra funds into the contingency fund, and $,000 into the program fund. The remaining money would be given to the Student Services Council organizations to establish a insurance level budget for each as follows.
Campus Veterans, $2,414; Committee on Indian Affairs, $399; Commission on the Status of Women, $3,163; Douglas County Legal Aid, $6,500; Friends of Headquarters, $2,711; KU-Y, $1,552; MECHA, $4,000; Ombudman, $398; SCMERE, $326; Volunteer Clearinghouse, $579, and Women's Coalition, $822.
Because the bill did not require immediate action it was referred to the board of trustees.
KUOK to get by with funds cut
By J. MARTIN DOLAN Kansan Staff Reporter
Although KUOK's request for $17,405 from the Student Senate has been cut to only $866, Elizabeth Czech, faculty supervisor for the University of Illinois, was a very, positive, vote of confidence.
The cut came last Thursday when the Communications Committee had only $1,306 left after approving a $47,819 line item allocation to the University Daily Kansas.
"KUOK does for radio majors what the Kansan does for print majors," Czech said. "We provide a service to students that no other station does. We provide the opportunity to give feedback, we get students to think and to give their ideas," she said
Czech said KUOK should also be a line item in the budget. She said last year KUOK was a little hole in the basement of Hoch and cited improvements made to the station, which will begin operating on FM this summer. Czech said KUOK was run as if it were the biggest station in the country in order to be as professional as possible.
Fred Hesser, station manager for KUOK,
Sunday that part of the $17,405
receipt.
Hesser said the remainder of the funds would have been used for telephone lines connecting the station to its remote transmitter, which should be installed in mid-
He said that some of the equipment at the station was 35 years old and wouldn't operate satisfactorily on the more sensitive equipment. He said they have been given a one-time expenditure, he said.
"Once KUOK goes to FM, we'll reach the entire Lawrence area of about 60,000 persons," Hesser said. "Why not go with quality?"
Hesser agreed with Czech that KUOK should be a line item in the future. He said he thought the station would ultimately reach a wider audience at lower cost than
the Kansas. Hess said that chances for additional funds this year weren't good.
According to Kevin Flynn, chairman of the Communications Committee, the situation was the same as the previous year and Mr. Flynn left after line item requests were granted.
One possibility for more funds could come in the fall from money left from the summer allocation, Flynn said. He said that the best course would be to introduce a bill to the Student Senate to consider KUOK as a line item.
"The committee had less money this year because of increases in line items," he said.
Eric Meyer, chairman of the student publications board, said a possibility for more funds would be to raise the student activity fee about 70 cents and fund the station as the Kansan was. The Kansas receives $1.35 from the activity fee.
Meyers said, however, that such action would probably result in controversy and unrest.
request to be cut was a $100,000 special allocation for the replacement of scientific teaching equipment. It was delayed by the House Ways and Means Committee.
The passage of the appropriations bill ends nearly two and one-half months of university budgeting, including university budgets. Hearings on the AU budget before the House Ways and Means Committee were Feb. 18. The committee announced its intent to approve the major budget cuts.
in the waning hours of the session, the senate also passed a bill requiring color photographs of drivers to appear on the state's drivers' licenses. The cost of a will be increased 50 cents to pay for the change. The law becomes effective in 1976.
The total state budget for fiscal 1978 will be about $1.47 billion, about $10 million more the year before.
The budget bill was approved by the House of Representatives April 3. The Senate Rules and Means Committee approved the House version of the bill Friday and sent it to the senate for final passage. The only major item in the KU budget
GSC slashes requests by half
By DIEREK CASSELMAN Kansan Staff Reporter
The Budgeting Committee of
The Graduate School Council (GSC) re-
manded allocation of about one-half of
the budget requested by 22 graduate
organizations.
The committee moved Friday to advise the GSC Executive Committee to allocate only $3,400.57 to the groups. This would be a fine start for the funds that the GSC received from the Student Senate. The committee recommended allocating $3,610 to the GSC to run its office and programs, and that the remaining funds should be contributed to fund for allocation next秋.
He said the recommendation gave adequate funding to the groups.
Tony Stainao, Budgeting Committee chairman, said, "I'm reals pleased with the progress."
"We're funding a lot of really good programs," he said. "They're not just fun
Stalino said the budget cuts were justified because some of the costs
"Many of the requests, we thought, were frivolous, he said. "And some of them were dowright illegal. They violated Student Senate funding guidelines."
The committee placed a high priority on the need for communication within the groups. According to Stainio, 27 per cent of the staff were used for publishing newsletters. Another 31 per cent were used to fund research sessions in which contain queries by staff members.
One journal, the Kansas Journal of Sociology, would receive 6880, the largest single allocation. The journal, a publication for sociology graduate students, contains
articles by students, faculty and outside professionals.
Other journals recommended for funding were a joint project for the publication of papers on language by linguistic and anthology journals, and a journal for philosophy students.
The GSC Executive Committee will act on the Budgeting Committee recommendation 12:30 p.m. Wednesday in the GSC office in the Kansas Union.
The committee also recommended funding for orientation and recruiting projects. The Microbiology Society would use the project funds to print orientation pamphlets for prospective students. Both the Graduate Business Council and the Speech Communications and Human Relations Graduate Student Organization, would use the program to help new graduate students adjust to the University and Lawrence.

KU burrito champion grabs world record
Paul Breener, Hutchinson freshman, ate his way to fame and a small fortune Saturday when he established a world record for eating burritos. The event was a burrito eating contest jointly sponsored by KLWN radio and Taco Teco. 2340 Iowa.
Brenner managed to force down 11% of the bean-pastе-filled delights in the allotted one-half hour period. He picked up a $100 check for his gastroenteric prowess.
He outdistanced the second place finisher Mark Cool, a Lawrence Boye's Club representative, by only three-quarters of a burrito.
Third place was shared by James Carpenter, also of the Boy's Club, and Frank Husley of Hussey Import Body Works. Each could eat only 8% burritos.
Support helps FBI, Kelley says

Brenner, who represented Pearson Residence Hall, said he decided to enter the college after receiving a scholarship.

Spurred by three cheerleaders and about 75 amused onlookers, the contestants started eating with gusto but quickly slowed to their stomachs, reflecting the outrage of their stomachs.
Kelley spoke at the inaugural luncheon for Jerald Walker, Baker University president. Walker was inaugurated as Baker's 23rd president in a morning ceremony at Rice Auditorium at Baker. About 600 persons saw Walker inducted officially into a position he has served in for a year after replacing James Doty in a 1973 year.
Clarence Kelley, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director, said Saturday that there was an absolute and continuing need for academically well-rounded in-
public recognition for the job the FBI was the FBI could do a better job with public apoplexia.
"We did, however, solve that case when it was just a kiddingap. We have solved innumerable kickingsap subsequent to that, and we are going to field and we are organized crime."
"But I knew I was going to win, right from the start," he said.
"One of the problems we have is that we haven't found Patty Heartst," Kelley said. "I could talk till I'm blue in the face and explain why, but we haven't found her."
Kellys said some of the FBI files had been "segregated" from the others because of security reasons and because they were of a personal nature. He said the files were kept under the policy of deceased FBI director J. Edgar Hoyer.
In a news conference after his luncheon address, Kelley said his efforts to restore credibility to the FBI had been successful, with the exception of the FBI's failure to locate Pattie Hearty, fugitive daughter of James Galloway, publisher William Randolph Hearst, Jr.
Kelley, who became FBI director in 1973 after serving 12 years as police chief in Chicago, died on March 26.
Kelley said there was nothing really secret about the FBI files on American citizens. He said he was informed of the files in January 1974.
Most of the other 20 contestants stopped at six burritos, and one person, who had eaten six burritos, was demoted to three when he vomited.
"We certainly honor the right of privacy within the organization."
"We know that shortly after Hoover's death, many of these files were destroyed," Kelley said. "I'm confident that there's nothing omitted about it, except that the
files were of the type that they shouldn't be available for anyone within the organization
Kelley said he was confident that there were no more personal files in the organization, but that if there were, there was a good reason for their existence, and there was nothing ominous or secret about them.
Law enforcement has seen great advances in recent years because of scientific advance.
When he was asked why it took him six months to discover the existence of the files, Kelley said that he had known some files already. He noticed a curious curtsey about the content of the files.
The content of the files has been misunderstood and misconstrued. Kelley said. Often a file will contain only correspondence between the FBI and a person, he
problems in security for the FBI because security measures could be programmed into computers. He also said he forewarned few of the potential vulnerability that weren't already in existence.
In the future, the spotlight will be on the
institution's confidentiality of personal
files. Kelley said.
Walker called public-supported institutions "monopolistic public enterprises." He criticized institutions that imposed restrictions on research as opposed to student achievement.
Kelley said he thought that the computerization of records wouldn't cause
Walker noted in his morning inauguration address the progress of the 117-year-old institution, and emphasized the need for private institutions.
"They're drafting new guidelines now for the handling of the dreaded 'he'," he said, "and they're still working on it."
"Excellence based on achievement can't only be defended," he said, "but is in the long run indispensable. Research isn't holding a faculty position at Baker."
The results of the contest will be submitted to the University Book of Records "Middle East" at AAA.
