Budget Action Seems Good Chairman Says
Kansas state budget hearings appear favorable to KU, according to Rep. Lawrence Slocum, chairman of the House Assessment and Taxation Committee.
Rep. Slocum went on to add, that as of yet, legislative action has had little effect on KU. The current major problem facing the legislature is the school foundation apportionment. This is a request by Gov. Bill Avery for over $35 million in new state revenue to be used by secondary and public schools.
The addition of Wichita State University into the state budget should have little effect on the amount apportioned to KU, as money is distributed to each of the state universities and colleges according to their each individual needs, he said.
Avery has recommended an increase of one per cent in sales tax
NSF Allocates Graduate Grants
The National Science Foundation will provide $102,487 to the University of Kansas in 1965-66 to support 19 graduate trainees in science and engineering.
Thirteen first-year graduate trainees will be chosen while traineeships will be continued for six Ph.D. degree candidates who began their studies this year, according to William J. Argersinger, associate dean of faculties.
The new NSF trainees will be chosen in these fields: chemistry, 2; physics, 3; chemical engineering, 1; electrical engineering, 2; engineering mechanics, 2; and appointments in any empirical fields. 3.
The NSF grant provides funds for the stipends and fees of each trainee and an allowance for the cost of instruction.
to raise a good share of the amount needed for the school foundation plan. This is being fought by many who feel that the current $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ per cent is already too high.
Rep. Francis Carter, D-Syracuse, pointed out that Nebraska has no sales tax at all, and the Colorado rate is merely 2 per cent. He also felt that the higher sales tax was harmful to Kansas merchants.
One bill, recently submitted, affecting all state universities and colleges, would allow books published by state schools to be printed by other agencies other than the state printery.
