THE FAR SIDE
By GARY LARSON
Evidence from a dog crime
Many of the new students were from out of state or graduate students, both of whom pay higher tuition, increasing the amount of money the University received.

"The estimation of general tree income is not an exact science." Rawson said. "Nobody estimated the students at KU. I guarantee it."
The state Legislature has not approved a fee release request from KU in the past five years. Rawson said that in light of this, the Regents had to come up with a fee release strategy it could sell to the Legislature
"What does have a bearing on all this is not the extra revenue, but the thousand or so extra students," Rawson said.
Another member of the committee, State Rep, John Solbach, D-Lawrence, said that the committee's action represented an attempt by Republican leadership to give the House leverage when taking the fee release issue into conference with the Senate.
"In light of how poorly the House is treating the issue, it would be justified that the Senate review the entire question and perhaps recommend a 75 percent release of the entire $2.7 million amount," Solbach said.

radical change in my values. I started thinking and questioning myself 'Why did the revolution happen?' 'Did it have to happen?'

"I arrived at the conclusion that it was really needed. It took the revolution to make me think that it was good to start with."
But a childhood's worth of training dies hard.
"I was still very skeptical of the Sandinistas for the first two years after the revolution," he said, "but it was my two years of international law in Belgium and the influence of my international law protector in Guatemala that the revolution had to happen and changes had to be made."
The quality and timing of his education may work against him.
Charles Stansifer, director of the Center of Latin American Studies, said the students preferred peo-
nies that had similar movements with the movement for a long time.
"It doesn't hurt a Nicaraguan to be of a wealthy background, but you have to have lervent revolutionary feelings to get a job." Stamat said. "Just being away using an education renders you suicidal."
lutionary. He agrees with the broad Sandinista platforms of non-alignment, decolonization and Third World rights. But he is critical of the ideological nature of the Sandinista government, and he said he wouldn't work for it without the right to criticize it.
But for now, Valladares is concentrating on possible thesis topics. He is considering writing about the prospects for a new joining the Atlantic and Pacific oceans — a canal in Nicaragua.
Valladares is not fervently revo-
"For that to come to reality," Valladares said, "you would need a lot of work, research, lobbying here and there, and money."
Valladales said he would want to be involved in the international negotiations the canal would necessitate.
But if it proved feasible, it would provide a lot of jobs for Nicaraguans. And it might help him deal with a conscience that carries memories of Miami shopping trips and ignored peanuts.
"I feel ... guilty. I feel that I might have something to do and that I should do something to better my country"
English

Designating a state language shouldn't be the biggest concern of legislators, she said.
"I think we murder the King's English, but that has nothing to do with making English the official language," she said.
State Rep. Betty Jo Charlton, D-Lawrence, said that although the authors of the Kansas bill might not mean any harm, the nationwide drive for an official language had bad motives.
"It's part of the radical right agenda — bigotry," she said.
A 1984 proposal in the U.S. Congress would have amended the constitution to make English the official national language. English is already the official language in states such as Nebraska and Indiana.
Many other states have considered similar legislation. In November, California voters defeated a plan to make English the official language there.
