Bill promotes teaching scholarships
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The House Ways and Means Committee yesterday endorsed and sent to the House a bill that would create a state teacher education scholarship program to encourage more and brighter students to get into education.
Under the proposal, students in teacher education programs could receive $750 a semester for as many as five semesters. Only Kansas residents would be eligible, and they would have to pass a Board of Regents test to

receive the money.
The bill contains no money for the program, which would be financed by the state. But State Sen. Gerald Karr, D-Emploria, co-sponsor of the bill, said it would cost the state about $450,000 in the first year.
Karr said Kansas universities were facing a decline in enrollment in teacher education programs and the quality of students enrolling in them. The state also faces a shortage of mathematics and science teachers, Karr said.
"What we have here is a program that attempts to address these kinds of problems," Karr said.
Clantha McCurdy, Regents associate director of financial aid, told the committee that, often, bright students don't go into teacher education programs because of a lack of financial aid.
Committee passes bill to aid tax approval
The Associated Press
TOPEKA  The Senate Ways and Means Committee yesterday endorsed a bill which will serve as the vehicle to enact a sales tax increase in Kansas, if the legislature is to get that job done by the end of this week.
The 1966 session is scheduled to close Saturday evening, with the lawmakers taking a 10-day recess before returning to Topeka on April
23 for two or three days of cleanup work.
If the sales tax issue isn't resolved this week, the wrap-up session may be a lot longer than three days.
The two houses' budget committees have a master budget-cutting list that would slash $135 million from the fiscal year 1987 budget, if there is a new loan to finance state government next year.
killed the bill once before reviving it and putting it back on its debate calendar.
That is because nearly everything left of importance this session hinges on revenue. Without an increase in the tax sales, the Legislature will be forced to approve the tightest budget in recent history.
The Senate passed a bill increasing the state sales tax from 3 percent to 4 percent, which would generate an estimated $182.5 million new revenue for the fiscal year which begins July 1. The House amended the bill to make it a half-cent increase, then
The Republican majority leadership has decided that instead of trying to get that bill passed in the House, a better way is to get a bill into a conference committee. There, the leadership of both parties and Gov. John Carlin's liaison representatives can try to compromise in order to gain enough votes to pass.
Feds study conditions of inmates at Lansing
United Press International
LANSING — Federal investigators have launched an investigation into inmate conditions at Kansas State Penitentiary and will tour the prison a second time late next month, a state corrections official said yesterday.
Larry Cowger, special assistant to Corrections Secretary Richard Mills, said the Justice Department advised Gov. John Carlin last month of the federal investigation.
Although the attorneys would not
specify what they are looking for, they are limited to areas involving the civil rights of inmates, including delivery of medical services, general safety, environmental issues such as lighting and heating, and overcrowded conditions.
Cowger said, "I would say the majority of complaints are connected to overcrowding — cell space, the amount of time that people have to wait for programs, just general idleness."
A new medium-security prison was opened last fall adjacent to the penitentiary. Additionally, lawmakers have approved planning money for a 190-bed prison at Ellsworth to help alleviate overcrowding.
"KU on Wheels will be conducting route hearings for the 1986-1987 school year on Thursday, April 10, 1986 at 6:30 P.M. Please stop by the Student Senate office to complete a route change request form and schedule an appointment if you want to make a presentation to the Transportation Board. The Student Senate office is located on the third floor of the Kansas Union B105. The telephone number is 864-3710."
"KU on Wheels is a service of the KU Student Senate."

Paddy Murphy Advises Men of S.A.E
It has been learned that a special envoy from Sigma Alpha Epsilon National Headquarters has been sent to the fraternity's Kansas Alpha Chapter here at K.U.. Paddy Murphy of the organizations Evanston III. Headquarters has been here since mid-January.
An S.A.E national spokesman said that the local chapter had made a turn for the worse. "Last spring everything at Kansas Alpha was going great. They were last on the hill in grades, sports, and hell, they were even on double secret probation but they were still first in alcohol consumption. Then all hell broke loose, the missile crisis, and look at them now. Grades are higher, sports are good, and there is no alcohol permitted in the house."
"Specially trained in party and alcohol abuse, SAE spokesman said, we knew that he was the only one to save the chapter from its inevitable demise."
Paddy's specialty is consumption of alcohol and obnoxious actions least of which is being passed out on Chancellor Budig's patio.
As of yet Paddy has been unavailable for comment. Chapter members haven't seen him since his arrival but have been contacted by the local bars to pay the enormous tabs Paddy has incurred.
The chapter would like to get in contact with him so if anyone sees him, (he is 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighs about 168 lbs and reeks of alcohol) put him in a cab and send him to one of the local bars, one of the members is bound to see him.
