TOPEKA-As expected, the Kansas House Ways and Means Committee yesterday approved the addition of $116,000 for women's athletics and a library security system to the fiscal 1800 KU budget.
Committee members also approved a transfer of $777,500 from an allocation for renovation of Marvin Hall to the
Unexpected addition to the budget were $80,000 to the Kansas State scholarship fund, $3,500 for the development of sandstone aquaters in western Kansas and $40,000 for the development between KU's Bureau of Child Research and the northeast.
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 building costs, greater use of the formula funding budget and more access to the salaries of Regents staff members from 2 to 1 percent.
subletting rules
AFTER THE new tenant moves in, she said, the management provides regular maintenance for the apartment.
Marnie Clawson, manager of Apple Croft Apartments, 1741 W. 19th St., said a new lease on security deposit directly to the former tenant, but signed a separate lease with the management.
She also kept the first tenant's deposit but transferred it to the new tenant's name. She argued she were the first tenant's deposit, the new tenant paid a damage fee are deducted from the first tenant's deposit, the new tenant paid a deposit.
"For instance, if the former tenant has a $25 damage fee deducted from a $100 security deposit, then the subtentant only pays the tenant $75," she said.
But damage to an apartment is not the main problem with subtleting, Bill Lemeansy, manager of University Terrace Anterra. 502 Country Club.Terraced, said
FOR YOUR PORTRAIT, take apartments.  Country club' s office, said.
"STUDENTS SELLDOM damage apartments anymore, they just leave them dirty," he said.
Rena Underwood, Shawnee freshman, said she and her romance found dirtiness to be a problem when they moved into an apartment they had sublet at Gatehouse Hall.
"When we looked at the apartment it was really a mess," she said. "But we thought it was just because the people were getting ready to move."
Underwood said she thought the tenants would clean the apartment before they left.
"But they didn't even bother to vacuum," she said.
"But we should've gotten a check list," she said. "Then we could've noted the mess on the list and withheld our security deposit from the tenants until they'd cleaned the house."
The management was not responsible for the mess, she said, because she and her roommate were taking over the former tenant's lease.
SHE SAID that she had no other problems in leasing her apartment from another tenant and that there were advantages in taking over the former tenant's lease.
"We got a really good deal," she said. "The people before us lived here for three years and the management let them renew the lease each year without raising the rent."
"Students seldom damage apartments anymore, they just leave them dirty.
Because we took over their lease, we pay lower rent than somebody who signs a new lease."
Because the management was not responsible for the dirt in the apartment, Underwood said, she spent two days cleaning it herself.

apartments in Lawrence than other cities," Bob Sarna, manager of Meadowbrook Apartments, 101 Windsor Place, said. "Theory would indicate that price is influenced by demand. It might be influenced in quality of construction here. too."
The Lawrence figure also was 10 percent higher than the average monthly cost for a dozen randomly selected Topeka apartments.
OF THOSE REQUESTS, Zacharias said, the graduate fee waiver, improvements to make buildings accessible to the handicapped and Regents salary increases are most important.
"I think the University has a direct influence on the price of housing," Barbara Fendley, manager of Jayhawker Towers, 1603 W. 15th St., said."Since the students have to have a place to live, the landlords can charge more.
"Plus, Lawrence is a desirable place to live." Things like the new Clinton Dam are causing more people to come here. Generally, I think Lawrence is a rapidly growing town and the apartment prices are just keeping up with the growth."
ANOTHER LANDLORD, Glen Lemesary of Park Plaza Apartments, 1912 W. 25th St., said the "college town" atmosphere of Lawrence also attracted many persons who otherwise might live elsewhere.
"I have friends who work in Topeka and live in Lawrence even though it's cheaper in topeka," he explained. "They do love the parties, but they're born because of the parties, the nightlife."
Sheryl Lemesany, manager of West
Hills Apartments 1008 Emery Road, noted another aspect of college towns that she said forced apartment prices upward.
It is well known, she said, that college students clear out in the summer.
"Unless you have a 12-month lease, there is a pretty high rate of unoccupied space during the summer," she said. "You should compensate for the loss of income abovehow."
"THESE WERE hardly any cars in the parking lot here last summer. A lot of apartments lower the rates in the summer, so you take in a lot less. You have to make up for that. Wherever if you were living in a city, your house would cost pretty much the same year all round."
The average price for a gallon of regular gas in Kansas City was 63.9 cents. The Lawrence average was 67.9 cents, and the Omaha in Ottawa and Wichita were even higher.
The only other dramatic price difference found in the survey was a difference in income.
"It just depends on how far you are from the refineries," he said. "They have them in Kansas City. The farther you get from the terminals, the more expensive gas is."
"The difference is the freight costs," Bill Edmonsdale, manager of Bill's Mobil, 1206 W. Edmonsdale Street, New York.
However, one Lawrence gas station manager said the difference could be that the stations

Although the School of Law enrollment increased by 19, Martin Dickinson, dean of the school, said he expected the school's enrollment to remain fairly stable.
This year, the school accepted 190 students out of 650 who applied.
