A tuition increase at each university would repay the bonds, and the money collected would go to supplement the state's contribution for educational materials.

KU continues the battle of the budget Nights out... days on the beach.. and a $1000 for my efforts! Other legislators have proposed changing state universities' tradition of open admissions. Another proposal would allow each institution to set differing rates of tuition to reduce the state's contribution to higher education. "We just can't afford to have kids in college who aren't prepared and who don't belong there," said State Rep. Robert Vancrum, R-Overland Park. "The Kansas economy is just not that strong." "Despite the state's declining economy, we have to make sure our students have the latest and best materials available if they're going to have a competitive edge in the job market." Daniels said. "Roy, I'm glad this is over," State Sen. Gus Bogina, R-Lenesa, said two weeks ago, after four days of intense negotiations with House leaders over the state's fiscal 1988 budget. The full Senate debates and approves the bill and then sends it to a joint conference committee, where they send their leaders work out their differences. A SUBSIDIARY OF ENTERTAINMENT PUBLICATIONS. INC approved there and then signed into law by Hayden. The conference committee recommendations will go to the full Senate and House when legislators return from recess Wednesday. The recommendations probably will be "It is important, and it should not be forgotten that students can play a very important role in helping the university achieve its goals," he said. McCall's Shoes Put Yourself in our Shoes 829 Dow DAYLIGHT SAVINGS SALE! day April 28 Open til 8:30 Budig said student support for the 1987 fee release had helped KU receive 75 percent of the Regents recommended $1.2 million. 841-1200 E.O.E. m/f/h Budig said that he was pleased with the KU budget recommendations made by a joint conference in 2014. That was optimistic about the future. Whv is KU important? But the House put off until next year decisions on open admissions and differing tuition increases. "I believe the people of this state have a strong commitment to higher education, and it is reflected at the state Legislature," he said. "The city's policy is proof that parents support KU and want to send their children here." The governor reviews the Regents recommendations and makes his own budget proposals for KU. A state House Appropriations Committee then has hearings on the proposals and creates a spending bill to be sent to the House floor, where it is debated and approved. Part of KU's problem is convincing state legislators that a healthier University will, in turn, boost Kansas' economic future. Budig said closing admissions would be harmful and was not the solution to the universities' financing problems. It starts each year when KU proposes its budget to the Regents. The Regents study the proposals and then recommend their own version of KU's budget to the state Legislature. After the bill is approved by the House, it is sent to the Senate Ways and Means Committee for more hearings and recommendations. "It's important that we are in a position to make progress when things get better," Kopilik said. "We need to be more aggressive about needs of Kansas when we need to." For the University to receive state money for its budget, it must wait for and watch the slow democratic process in Topeka. SAVE! 10% to 50% "Despite national trends, Kansas has had a record year in research," Budig said. "Research spending is up 10 percent at both campuses." The other plan would change the present system of university financing, allowing Regents institutions to keep more of the money they collect from student fees. The universities would be better able to coordinate their financing over a three-year period instead of the present annual process. "The purpose of this plan is to make Kansas institutions more competitive with other state universities," Koplik said. "If we don't do anything considering what has happened in the last few years, the situation is only going to get worse." "The Regents and the universities are prepared to take a bigger load," Budig said. "What we are proposing is a well-balanced relationship with the state Legislature." The budget process "Open enrollment has served the state of Kansas well," he said. "Enrollment caps would mean a serious drop in public support. I do not believe Kansans would support it." The Regents have also searched for alternatives, proposing two ways that universities could take a firmer grip on their financing. The crux of both plans is to allow the universities to raise their tuitions and keep more of it. One plan would raise student tuition, so that over a three-year period, university faculty in Kansas would receive salaries equivalent to faculty salaries at peer institutions.
