Proposal produces optimism
By ROGER COREY
Staff writer
Topeka legislators are supportive but cautious about Gov. Mike Hayden's fee release proposal for KU, Martie Aaron, KU co-director of Associated Students of Kansas, said yesterday.
Hayden's proposal would release 75 percent of the extra student fees collected by the University of Kansas because of a record fall enrollment. This would amount to $653,000 for the University in fiscal year 1987 and another $635,000 in fiscal year 1988.
The fee release would benefit the University at a time when it recently became a university.
Some legislators fully support the governor's proposal, but Aaron advised caution.
The proposal first must be approved by the Kansas House Appropriations Committee before going to the Senate Ways and Means Committee. In the past, the House Appropriations Committee has not authorized fee releases.
"I think it would be unwise for us to be anything more than optimistic." Aaron said. "We're practically still in the trenches."
But Marlin Rein, KU legislative liaison, said he was optimistic about the proposal's chances.
"For KU to absorb the increased enrollment costs when it has already suffered a 3.8 percent budget reduc- tion is asking much too much," he said.
Rein said the KU administration had visited individual members of the Legislature and stressed the importance of the fee release issue.
He said he expected the appropriations committee to vote on the proposal at the end of February or beginning of March.
Members of ASK are working in Topeka at the grass-roots level. They are lobbying for the proposal, scheduling appointments, writing letters and telephoning legislators. Aaron said.
She added that ASK members had talked to everyone on the appropriations committee.
Senate allots funds for new crew boats
By LISA A. MALONEY
After more than two hours of debate, Student Senate passed a bill allocating $24,800 for two new racing boats for KU Crew.
Staff writer
Coach Cliff Elliott said, "We're very pleased. It will definitely help us to be competitive this year."
Senate passed the bill 41-13 on a roll call vote, after numerous amendments to the bill and the passage of the bill were discussed and voted down.
The original bill called for $37,450 to be spent on two eight-man racing boats, or shells, at $24,800; one four-man shell at $6,600; 2 life vessels at $10; 20 oars at $3,800; and three cossair amplifier systems at $1,440
The amended bill includes only the two eight-man shells.
Michael Foubert, graduate student senator, said he opposed the original bill because it amounted to $16,000 of his state's $16,000 unallocated account.
He said other organizations were "grilled" by the Senate when they sought much smaller sums just to
get started, but the crew bill sought more money just to get better.
"There are fellow students who can barely afford to attend this university," Foubert said. "Can you look them in the eye and tell them that you're spending 30 percent of their money on one organization?"
Korey Kaul, Nunemaker senator, said the issue of whether crew should receive the full allocation rested too much on the team's past success against larger, better-financed teams.
Scott Long, captain of the crew team, said that the crew's reputation as competitors and their policy of not competing was the request for new equipment,
"People are amazed that Kansas has a crew," he said. "We're going out there and beating crews at Cornell and Navy."
Long said that both the men's novice heavyweight and light-weight teams had placed sixth in a joint tournament last spring in Philadelphia.

KU faculty group visits legislators says low pay could hurt education
By BENJAMIN HALL
TOPEKA — Gov. Mike Hayden's proposed faculty merit pay increase is not enough, a group of KU professors told legislators in Topeka on Monday and Tuesday.
Staff writer
Hayden called for a 2.5 percent increase in merit salary and a 1 percent increase in the state's contribution to faculty retirement plans. The faculty had asked for an 8 percent salary increase.
"Legislators were telling us it may have to be enough." Hohn said.
Robert Hohn, professor of educational psychology and research, is president of the KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors. He said a delegation of the group told legislators that the quality of education would suffer
under the proposal
Six professors each day met one on-one with the legislators to eat lunch and discuss University finance issues.
Many of the legislators showed their support for education, Hohn said.
The AAUP told legislators that they were opposed to a Kansas Senate bill that would cut the salaries of state employees who earn $50,000 or more by 3.8 percent. The proposal
"The majority of them were very positive," he said.
The legislators have to reconcile the demands of education with other state demands, Hohn said.
would cut the salaries of 126 KU faculty members and administrators.
A Senate committee was considering the proposal while the group was in Topeka. Hohn said legislators were worried that a proposedposal would be killed on the next vote.
The meetings were co-sponsored by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. Sid Shapiro, professor of law and chairman of the chamber's legislative affairs committee, said the meeting was an opportunity to meet informally with legislators.
"My impression is that it seemed to accomplish its purpose," he said. "The great benefit was that it allowed me to sit down and trade notes."
