Intent listener william J. Argeringer, vice chancellor for research and graduate studies, listens to opening statements at the University By Staff Photographer DON PIERCE Senate meeting Thursday. The Senate passed a financial exigency plan after a two-year struggle. The Senate also unanimously approved two changes in the Senate code. A two-year struggle over financial exigency ended Thursday when the University Senate unanimously approved the final exigency report. Exigency report approved By TRICIA BORK Kansan Staff Reporter The financial exigency report, a compromise that combines the work of a SenEx ad be committee and the Committee of concerned Faculty Members, outlines policies and procedures to be followed by the University in the event of financial exigency. Arno Knapper, associate professor of business who acted as presiding officer, said the purpose of the report was to provide for preventive planning and to fulfill the University's responsibility in case of financial exigency. If enrollment declines, Knapper said, the university must be prepared to deal with it. "It's our hope in this report to set the tone and provide the framework for dealing with today's financial crisis." Nknapper said, "and we believe the report does that." FINANCIAL EXIGENCY has been described as a financial crisis in which the University is forced to release tenure holders and contain its position as an institution of birth. The report was passed by the Senate despite the absence of a quorum of the members. According to the Senate code, no action may be taken if a quorum is called for and one isn't present at the meeting. However, if a quorum count isn't called for by any member it has passed by the Senate is effective as of the meeting even is a quorum not present. A recent controversy concerned a section of the original report that provided that a released faculty member would be considered first for any openings in departments of the University for which he was qualified. THIS PRACTICE, HOWEVER, was found to be in violation of affirmative action guidelines concerning preferential treatment of applicants and advertisement of positions. In a compromise reached by a third committee formed to resolve the conflict, a faculty member would have to apply for openings in departments other than his own, but he could keep his priority as an applicant in his department. The report passed with only a slight change in wording in one section. As passed, the report says that in a department from which a faculty member has been released, other faculty members may agree to accept fractional appointments in order to keep the released member on in the department. Some Senate members had expressed fear that the original section could be improperly introduced in the department who didn't agree to accept a fractional appointment would be released. ORIGINALLY THE section said: "If a plan for fractional appointments has been unanimously approved by affected faculty members in a unit, the Chancellor shall normally accept it in lieu of releasing tenured faculty members."

Long enters plea of guilty By BILL GRAY Kansan Staff Renorter Vol.85-No.124 Friday, April 11, 1975 Don Howard Long remains in the Kansas State Prison at Lansing after pleading guilty Thursday to 12 felony counts in Division 2 of the Douglas County Court. The University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Long appeared before Gray unhandcuffed, and his eyes remained fixed on the floor during most of the proceedings. He had been escorted into the court room by law enforcement officers with his hands handcuffed to a chain around his waist. Long, who was charged in connection with a robbery-killing Nov. 13 at the Sanctuary Club, 1401 W. 7th, made the plea during his court arraignment. A charge of raped rape entered against Long Nov. 15 was dropped by David Khalil. COLLISTER ASKED Gray to recommend that Long be placed in the state hospital at Laredo for further psychiatric examination and treatment. Gray said that he could not make such a recommendation because it wasn't within the powers of his court. Frank Gray, Division 2 Douglas County District Court judge, said Long would be sentenced April 30 following a presentence investigation. Long had undergone two pretrial examinations at Larned. Long pleaded guilty to the charges of second degree murder of Todd Storckeb, Winfield junior, who had been a customer in the Sanjuan at the time of the incident. Long could be given a prison term of five to 15 years for one class D delony, and terms for other cases. Long's trial had been scheduled to begin when the businesses had been sub- scribed to certify. HE ALSO PLEADED to the kidnapping of four persons, two Sanctuary employees and two persons who were in a car that was struck and used to leave Lawrence after the incident. One count of sodomy, five counts of aggravated robbery and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm comprised of 47 people in 12 charges to which long pleaded guilty. Senate committee votes to fund $8,500 more to campus groups By JIM BATES Kansan Staff Reporter In the face of increasing pressure from a number of campus organizations, the Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee voted 7-6 Thursday night to make an additional $8,500 available for funding. The special meeting was announced by Ed Rolfs, student body president, at a StudEx meeting Thursday. The Thursday meeting, which was called to discuss the Allocation of the money, which was taken from the $19,927 Senate program fund, was referred to a special combined StudEx and Finance and Auditing meeting on Saturday. GSC cuts fund appeals by two-thirds Tentative allocations of $2,254.35 were made to organizations requesting $890.04 The budgeting committee of the Graduate School Council (GSC), cut by nearly two-thirds funds requested by 12 graduate student organizations Thursday night. two-twosegregional organizations asked KFC for about $11, 000 GHC$ has only 50% to allocate. The committee made unilateral cuts in funding of long-distance telephone calls, conference and convention fees, and programs capable of outside funding. It also refused to fund requests for books and that were available in Watson Library. The Kansas Journal of Sociology received the largest block of the tentative allocations. However, its initial request of $1,450.00 was reduced to $880.00. The committee will discuss the applications of the 10 other organizations and the efforts to finalize its recommendations at a day in the GSC office in the Kansas Union.

Rufs told the Finance and Auditing Committee that the $19,927 was necessary if the Senate was to fund new programs. He was obtaining extra funds from that source. Pete Kanatzar, Topeka graduate student, disagreed. "I feel the money sitting in that program fund is being blatantly assisted." he said. The Senate isn't as broke as its been made out to be. he said. Paul Bylaska, Lawrence junior, said he didn't think the Senate ought to start any new programs unless it plans to fund them in the future. The committee also marked $7,000 of a program fund to be a Student Activity Center. Rolfs said this didn't seem to be a wise financial move. He said that because the University was still negotiating for the purchase of the building, the Senate had no idea how much or how little this item could run. Earlier in the committee meeting, Bylaska moved that the recommendations of the Student Services Committee not be accepted until an investigation had been made of the committee's procedure. He said that both and unfair procedures had been followed. Mary Lou Reece, student body vice president, said she thought normal procedure was followed, although she admitted there were some opinionated answers by group representatives to direct questions. Bylasa said the Consumer Protection Association representative was unfairly recognized from the floor several times. The employee absent or not allowed to speak, be said. at the StudEu meeting, Kanatzar distributed informational sheets concerning $12,466.82 left in the Senate's contingency fund from past years. He told the StudEu and organizations that the money was available for immediate allocation. Teddie Tasheff, chairman of the Student Rights and Reponsibilities Committee, asked what specific groups would fold without immediate funding. Lewis Gregory, Wichita senior, stressed the need for a conservative funding philosophy. He said the Senate shouldn't go out on a limb. Bylaska's motion was defeated 8-6. "Is it in fact true that groups would fold?" The main objective of the prosecution was accomplished, Berkowitz said, because Lang couldn't have been sentenced to a sentence of life without having had proceeded with the original counts. Berkowitz said after the arraignment that the amended information in the complaints was worked out between himself and Ed. Hulster, Long's court-appointed attorney. Sharon Lee, spokesman for the Student Services Society delegation, said it was not necessary to send a letter. before summer in order to plan for next year. "HS GULLEY PLEA TO all 12 counts of the HIS GULLEY PLEA TO the rest of his life." Berkowitz said. Lee said she wasn't sure the Senate understood the service rendered by the variation. "It's fairly obvious that student services aren't much of a priority for the Senate." Lee asked StudEx whether it would be possible to cut the $147,001 ticket subsidy. Rolfs said it was possible, requiring a two-thirds vote of the Senate to consider the issue, and a majority to pass it, but warned against it. He said it would mean a last-minute rush to re-do the entire budget before the April 30 deadline. Ten of the twelve organizations that had their requests cut by the Student Services committee met late Thursday to draft a response to the petition for "sufficient" funding of the ten organizations: Campus Veterans, Women's Coalition, Commission on the Status of Women, Friends of Headquarters, University Legal Aid MEDF. Office Douglas County Legal Aid. "To me, this cut would be a great mistake at this time." R folks said. Long could be paroled after 15 years in prison, Berkowitz said, even if he had pleaded guilty to a first degree murder charge. See INCREASE page 7 The certainty of the conviction for the second degree murder charge without the opportunity for an appeal was also a factor in the first count, and the count from first degree murder, he said. Persons are denied an appeal under Kansas law if they plead guilty to felony charges. There was some question whether the prosecution could prove that first degree murder was committed, Berkowitz said, or that it involved conflicts in the testimony of witnesses. The prosecution had based the charge of first degree murder against Long on the allegation that Long had committed a felony at the time the murder was committed. Kansas law states that a first degree murder is committed only with premediation or during the act of committing a felony. "THIS IS THE KIND of thing that can bang a jury," Berkowitz said. The count of attempted rape was dropped because the facts behind the count were weak in the face of what the law stated, he said. Long faces seven felony counts in Shawnee County District Court in connection with acts he allegedly committed in Shawnee County after leaving the Sanctuary and with his escape Nov. 17 from the Shawnee County Jail. Gene Olander, Shawnee County attorney had said he would wait until the charges against Long had been taken care of in Douglas County before he would proceed with prosecution of the seven counts in Shawnee County District Court.

Requests for Senate funding cut Practically all committees of the Student Senate finished budget hearings Thursday night, but few organizations will be happy with the result. Communications, Culture and Student Services committees met Thursday night and all made substantial cuts in requests because of lack of funds.

This followed previous reductions. The reduction was voted when the members of the committee could agree no longer on which organizations' requests to cut to balance the Student Senate budget. The services committee stipulated that if further funds were made available to the committee, it would return the 4.8 per cent reduction to each organization. The Communication Committee, which had only $1,308 left to allocate after approving a $74,819 line item allocation to the University Daily Kansan, also made large cuts.

The committee will expire next month, and KUOK a long item in the future, he said. Eric Meyer, chairman of the student publications board, said the Communications Committee did a good job of allocating its limited resources to various groups. He said the Student Publications Board would hold a series of hearings with members of the Council Room of the Union on the long-term financial needs of campus media. "I think it's an abstracy." Meyer said, "that such worthwhile organizations as the Cottonwood Review and Versch had to be granted no funds whatsoever and that KUOK got only about five per cent of the total funding it had requested."
