Carlin says budget will be unpopular
By Gary Duda

TOPEKA - Gov. John Carlin will announce his budget recommendations for fiscal year 1987 on Wednesday after saying Friday that they would not be popular.
"Nobody is going to be happy," he said to Board of Regents members at the governor's office.
Carlin said the one exception would be correctional institutions. He said the increasing load upon the system left him with no choice but to increase state aid.
However, he assured worried board members that, despite the state's gloomy economic forecast, higher education would not be treated unfairly.
"Education will get its fair share," he said.
"Education will get its fair share," he said.
The fiscal year 1987 version of "fair share," however, isn't quite what board members said they had in mind.
Last month, the state budget director, Alden Shields, told the Regents that he would have to cut $17 million from the Regents' lowest budget re
quest for fiscal year 1987, which is $512 million. He said the cut would mean there would be no salary increases for faculty and classified employees.
Carlin said that although cuts were necessary, they didn't mean that the state would stop supporting higher education.
"Through good and bad, we've had one of the more consistent records of supporting higher education," he said.
Carlin said that faculty and classified salaries would have to suffer — at least for a while — but that it was for the good of the state. He said that his top priority now was to stabilize the state's economy.
Carlin said he would try to stabilize the economy by investing in areas that would bring the state some sort of economic return.
The governor, who has said he would submit a budget within current revenue guidelines, said that he wasn't pleased with the proposed budget but that it was the best he could do.
"I don't like it," he said, "but I feel it's the right
move to go with resources that are available conidering the Legislature's track record."
Larry Jones, chairman of the Regents, said that Carlin's budget needed to include some sort of increase for salaries. He said that, considering the Regents' faculty recruitment picture, salaries needed to be improved.
In their budget request, the Regengs asked for 7 percent salary increases for faculty and classified employees, as well as a 7 percent increase in operating expenses.
Stanley Koplik, executive director of the Regents, said that instead of working on a year-to-year basis, the state should try to gear up now for the future.
"By the year 2009," he said, "we will replace two-thirds of our faculty. The time to position yourself is today and not on a yearly basis."
Koplik said it was important to show faculty that the state was interested in supporting higher education, even if that support was small.
Committee to draw names to break 3 Senate seat ties
By a Kansan reporter
Three Student Senate seats that had write-in tie votes should be filled today, David Day, chairman of the Student Senate Elections Committee, said yesterday.
Special students, the School of Business and the School of Journalism each have been one senator short since the Nov. 20-21 Senate elections, because write-in candidates received the same number of votes.
Day said Stephanie Quincy,
chairman of the Student Senate
Executive Committee, and Caryl Smith, dean of student life, would meet with a notary public at 3 p.m. today in Smith's office to break the ties by drawing names out of a hat.
Two other seats, one in the School of Law and one graduate seat, will be decided by the Elections Review Board when it meets at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Governor's Room of the Kansas Union.
Filling those two seats will be more complicated. Day said, because both cases involve different variations on the same name written on ballots.
Presses stop indefinitely
United Press International
ST. LOUIS — Jeffrey Gluck, publisher of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, continued to search for investors even though the newspaper has suspended operations indefinitely.
U. S. Bankruptcy Judge David McDonald announced Friday that he would appoint a trustee to manage the newspaper, prompting Gluck's main source of financing, Citicorp Industrial Credit, Inc., to cut off funds.
Friday's morning edition was the last published.
The trustee, who could be named as early as today, is to determine whether the newspaper should be reorganized or liquidated. There has
been no word on whom McDonald might appoint.
Thomas Amberg, a spokesman for Gluck, said the publisher was continuing to try to arrange an infusion of money for the 133-year-old newspaper.
"He is looking for investors or for buyers. His first concern has not been that he remain with the Globe-Democrat but that the Globe-Democrat remain." Amberg said.
On Friday, Amberg said at least two parties had expressed interest in the newspaper.
The paper listed debts of more than $8 million and assets of $4.3 million in documents filed with the court last month.

The event is similar to September's "Express Yourself at the Union Gallery" because it is participatory, free, original and creative.
"There have been events where students have decorated trees, but we've never had them make their own decorations," she said. "It should be kind of fun."
Katherine Giele, associate director of Union programs, said SUA previously had not conducted an event in which students created Christmas tree ornaments.
crayons and chalk to draw graffiti art on huge sheetrock panels. Four of the 8-fetch-by-4 feet panels were filled in the first couple of days and had to be replaced with four more panels, which also were filled.
Lindley said Christmas music would contribute to the festive spirit and at 1 p.m. tomorrow students creating ornaments would be treated to free refreshments. The gallery will remain open during the final exam period.
Students may create decorations starting when the gallery opens at 9 a.m. today through 4:30 p.m. and again from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow and Wednesday.
In the September event, nearly 700 students used magic markers,
"We bought glitter, glue, felt and ribbon for people to create ornaments," he said. "The idea was that usually the gallery's dark during finals, and I thought it would be nice to get in to the Christmas spirit with a decorated tree."
