Legislature delays vote on new center Low attendance postpones decision
by Candy Niemann Kansan staff writer
The Joint Committee on Building Construction yesterday delayed vote on the proposed Regents Center, but the committee issue could be voted on this week.
State Sen. Joseph Harder, R-Moundridge, committee chairman, said the vote was delayed because he missed a vote. Both bars attended yesterday's meeting.
"When we vote on the Regents Center, I want everybody to be there," Harder said. "We will be discussing it Thursday."
Harder would not say whether he thought the proposal would be approved, but State Rep Phil Kline. Harder, Park, predicted thk. it would pass.
If passed by the committee, the proposal would move on to the House Appropriations Committee and to the Senate Ways and Means Committee.
The plans for the center call for a 52,700-square-foot building to be constructed near 127th Street and Quiravira Road in Overland Park.
The facility would be used primar
The labs would be used for teacher education courses in art, music, science, computers, counseling and preschool education.
Plans include 22 classrooms, six laboratories, a library and media center, and office facilities.
ily for graduate and research programs.
The developed area of 15 acres also would include a parking lot and maintenance facilities.
However, 35 acres of land has been donated for the project, which leaves 20 acres unused.
Martin Rein, KU associate director of business affairs, said that at one time, plans for the project included a $10 million budget that those plans had been drowned.
"I think the project we have now will address the needs." Rein said.
He said that if needs increased significantly in the future, the University might respond with additional construction.
"I don't think any campus would say something was the last project they would ever build." Rein said.
The estimated cost of the project is $6 million. The University is asking for $2 million from the Legislature, with the additional $4 million coming from tuition for students attending university, 20-year bonds and private sources.
The proposal needs a majority vote to pass. Webb said that he would not oppose the Regents Center but that probably would not approve it either.
"The University will raise no less than $1 million from the private sector," Chancellor Gene A. Budig said. "Much of this has already been committed. We will announce the sources at an appropriate time."
Webb said last week that he had reservations about the possibility of the Board of Regents asking for more money in the future for the center.
Wichita, said he still had questions about future construction.
For the project to follow schedule, financing must be approved during the current legislative session.
"They tell me there's no phase two, but why are there 20 acres left to be used as a later date as needed? I needed them up front on all of this," Webb said.
Rein said he thought there would be no problem with the plans passing during this legislative session.
Ned Nixon, Wichita senior and the show's assistant director, said that this year's show had garnered a record donation of $24,000. The money raised by Rock Chalk Reve was donated to the United Way.
"We gave the United Way a preliminary check, so that amount will probably go up." Nixon said. "Last year the preliminary amount was about $15,000, and the final donation ended up being $16,400."
The 40th annual Rock Chalk Reve variety show set several records during its run from Thursday to Saturday.
This year's show set a record with about 8,500 people attending during the three nights.
But State Rep. Darrel Webb, D-
"Our proposal has a lot of merit," Rein said.
"We sold out Saturday night, and Thursday and Friday were both close to sell-outs." Nixon said.

Participants in Rock Chalk can win awards ranging from best actress to best set design. Nixon said the two most important awards were the Best Show award and the Most Charitable award.
The center is projected to be ready for occupancy by October 1991.
The group's show was titled. "You Say Missiles, I Say Miss Iles."
The Best Show award was won by the team made up of the Chi Omega

sorority and the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.
"We really worked hard to make a good showing since we hadn't been in it for so long." Henson said. "The team overwhelmed when we did so well."
Leigh Reinhart, Merriam sophomore and co-director for Chi Omega, said that it had been five years since the Omega had got into Rock Chalk.
The show was about a small country town that received a letter from the government telling them that the building was insult base built in it, Heinart said.
"Through咙音 it gets confused, and the people of the town think that Mice Beverley Iles, a movie star, is coming to town to film a big movie." The girl asks if she wants their town looks nice enough for a movie star so they clean it up.
The townpeople's confusion is cleared up when the general who wrote the letter arrives to tell them that they are not getting the missile base.
"But the people are still happy because now their town looks real
nice." Reinhart said.
Rock Chalk raises record amount
The group that sold the most tickets, raising the most money for the United Way, was given the Most Charitable award. Nixon said.
"For the first time in 40 years we had a tie," Nixon said.
The award was given to the team of Chi Omega/ Pi Kappa Alpha, and to the team made up of the Alpha KappaLambda and Alpha KappaLambda fraternity.
Tom Beachard, Overland Park junior and Rock Chalk business manager, said that each group had collected about $10,000.
"With all that money, they ended up being within $20 of each other, so we decided to give the award to both groups." Bechard said.
Nixon said a Most Charitable award also was given to the residence hall that sold the most tickets.
"We tried hard to get people from other living groups to attend the show so next year they will get involved in the production side." Nixon said.

"We will have three symposiums between now and September to show living groups what they need to do to help Rock Chalk on the production side."
"It has been about six or seven years since a non-greek group partici- pated with us to what the show was originally desig- ted be — an all campus variety show."
