Budget

similar to the House's version, KU and the Regents could face severe cuts, von Ende said.
"It was a bare bones budget as it was," he said. "There won't be much in there to go after."
State Rep. Betty Jo Charlton, D-Da Lawrence, said the fact that higher education had been tied to economic development — a political buzzword during the 1986 legislative session could help the KUbudget.
"I'd rather see it stand on its own merit," Charlton said, "but I'll take the money no matter what way we get it."
She said several higher education bills not acted on by the House also would stand a better chance of being revived during the veto session if they were tied to economic development.
"Anything with a remote connection to economic development has a better chance of being brought up." Charlton said.
Camper
Continued from p.1
Many of the campers were skeptical of the Endowment Association's plans.
Jane Ungerman, Lawrence senior,
said, "We need documentation on
this. If KUEA is going to be above
board on this, they should be willing
to provide documentation of this
decision."
Hemphill said the Endowment Association provided no timetable for taking action on the decision.
"We're going to keep the pressure on them to make sure they follow their publicly stated policy," he said.
But even though the protesters weren't totally satisfied with the policy, it was enough to end their campout.
After learning of the policy last week, Chris Bunker, Prairie Village law student and president of the KU Committee on South Africa, called the decision a big victory for all those in the University who favored divestment.

Cab
Boller said if the ridership continued as it had, the program would cost $10,000.
Student reaction to SecureCab has been favorable. Boller said. The only complaints have been about the hours, which are midnight to 3 a.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The program's busiest nights are Friday and Saturday when the company gets around 16 calls each night. For each call, there are usually four to five students that want a ride home. Kelley said most calls come from private clubs, not taverns.
"A lot of people have asked for increased hours," he said. "People wanted it to begin at 11 p.m., but that would mean it would be competing with the bus service. We finance both SecureCab and the bus program and that would mean we would be competing against ourselves."
the calls are from people who are drunk."
Most students who use SecureCab are ones who are too intoxicated to drive home, said Jamie Kelley, dispatcher at the City Cab Company
Since SecureCab began, more KU students are riding in the cab, Barnes said. Before SecureCab started, students would rarely use the taxi service.
"We get a lot of calls around 3 a.m. from the Hatter and Gammons," he said. "We also get a lot from parties at dorms, frats or sororites. Most of
"We used to get about three or four students that would use the cab each day," he said.
Although most students who ride the cab usually keep to themselves and ignore the driver, occasionally the drivers will get harassed, Barnes said.
"Sometimes I get harassed, but not a lot," he said. "It's usually boiling at me and the other people in the cab."
60 KU black alumni gather to raise scholarship money
By Lynn Maree Ross

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Nearly 60 KU black alumni gathered yesterday to honor past recipients of the KU Distinguished Service Citation and to raise money for the Bruce-Smith Scholarship fund.
The citation is the highest honor the University awards and recognizes those who've excelled in their chosen endeavors, Fred Williams, executive director of the Alumni Association, said yesterday after the program at the First American Methodist Episcopal Church. The award is equivalent to honorary doctoral degrees that other universities award.
The Black Alumni Committee sponsored the program that honored the 13 black alumni the University cited in past years for outstanding contributions to the University, community and nation.
"These people need to be known within the community," Eunice Stallworth, coordinator of minority programs for the Alumni Association, said.
"These are key leaders who happen to be black, but they also happen to be some of our greatest alumni," said Williams.
The intent of the program, he said, is to tell younger alumni more about the award and the accomplishments of past black recipients.
Only five of the honores were present, but they represented vastly different areas of academics such as physical education, journalism, social work, zoology and medicine. Among them were John McLendon Jr., the first black graduate of the physical education program, and Dorothy Hodge Johnson, a journalist and later a graduate in social welfare.
