TOPEKA- As expected, the Kansas House Ways and Means Commission yesterday approved the addition of $116,500 for women's athletics and a library security system to the fiscal 1980 KU budget.
Committee members also approved transfer of $277,000 from an allocation for renovation of Marvin Hall to renovate the building.
Unexpected contributions to the budget were $80,000 to the Kansas State scholarship fund, $35,000 for the development of sandstone aquifers in western Kansas and $40,000 for the development of sandstone aquifers in eastern Kansas between KU's Bureau of Child Research and the northeast.
Also part of the governor's budget recommendations was a $1,277,500 allocation for the renovation of Marvin Hall.
athletics is less than one-tenth of $867,368 requested by KU. The money would be used for travel to athletic events and
However, committee members split that figure, allocating $1 million for the renovation of Marvin and Blythe.
State Rep. David Heinemann, R-Garden City, said he favored splitting the money to get both projects started this week.
Committee members said the funds to finish both mouldings should be allocated by the Legislature next year.
said, are maintaining a 9.5 percent increase in student wages for next year, increasing the Kansas Scholarship program from $750,000 to $830,000 and raising a recommended faculty salary increase from 6 to 10 percent.
ZACHARIAS SAID the governor's recommended increase in student salaries would bring them in compliance with the department's policy.
Both the scholarship and faculty salary funding are needed, he said, to keep teachers and students at Kansas
"Faculty and students should not be enticed out of the state," he said.

THE STANDARD PRICE for most Lawrence exterior terminators is $30 to $50 for the initial spraying in a three-bedroom apartment, and $40 to $60 for monthly sprayings if the problem persists. Spraying apartment buildings costs $20 to $30 for the first spray and $30 to $40 afterward.
Wilson said the University had a contract with an exterminator in Manhattan. The contract calls for kitchen, laundries and eating areas to be sprayed once a week. The exterminators also come on students' student mice or risk problems.
Residence halls at KU are sprayed weekly, according to J.J. Wilson, KU housing director.
Sororites and fraternities normally have a local exterminator come about once a month to spray public areas. If a sororite does pests in his room, that room is sprayed.
All sprays used to kill bugs must be approved by the Environmental Protection Agency and exterminators usually ask residents to leave the area for four hours when they spray. Exterminators mind that all pets be taken out of the house.
ALTHOUGH the sprays must meet EPA standards, they are all poisons and can cause problems. A person chooses to spray the bags himself he should be extremely careful to follow the label instructions. Better, professor of entomology, said.
"People wind up in big trouble if they don't follow directions," Beer said. "I was involved in a couple of court cases on the West Coast some years back where babies had died as a result of homeowners overusing certain insecticides.
"Even though some of the more toxic chemicals have been banned, the chemical that is most likely to kill you
still dangerous. I'd recommend extreme caution when using any type of in-
Byers agreed and said some of the insecticides were more dangerous than the bites.
"Nobody has ever been able to prove that roaches carry disease," he said. He also wrote that move around enough to come into touch with anything that could be dangerous to humans
"HOUSEFLIES ARE much more susceptible to picking up transmittable diseases, because they cover much more territory than a cockroach."
"The best thing anyone can do to avoid
roaches is to make sure the house is clean.
But if you don't, it will take a lot of time."
Food also brings out another infamous pests, mice. There are many time-tested methods to control them.
ASK's other funding priorities, Zacharias said, are an increase in the fee waivers for graduate students from 60 to 100 percent, full reimbursement to universities for student union rentals, allocation of money for the removal of unused space and budget for all of the formula funding budget method and an increase of the salaries of Regents staff members from 2 to 7 percent.
"I've got this cat named Jive," Laurie Ramsay, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore said. "So far I've seen two mice in my apartment and Jive caught both of them."
Another standby is the mousetrap. Marina Torbey, Wichita senior, has caught six mice since last fall using a mousetrap she bought at a hardware store.
"It works really well," she said. "The only problem is getting them out of the trap once they're caught. It can get pretty messy. I usually just let my roommate do it."
Gumer Quevedo, Cordoba, Spain, graduate student, found a more innovative way to curb his mouse problem. He called it "mouse hockey."
"I STAND BEHIND the door with a broom and wait for a mouse to cross the kitchen floor," he said. "I then trap him under the broom, have a roommate open the kitchen door, and then I sweep the mouse outdoors."

"McCollium is always serviced three times because it is a large dorm. We pamper McCollium because it is such a large room that we give one cold food machine but it holds 194 cups."

4 KU schools losing in battle for students
