THE FAR SIDE

By GARY LARSON
"No." When some students came in to discuss the fee release with him, he turned the sign over to read "Hell, no!" Aaron said.

State Sen. Michael Johnston, D-Parsons, told the students, "For the most part, if you take a fairly dispassionate look, we've tried to be fairly responsible. Things are not going to be better in higher education until the economy improves."

But Johnston said he didn't expect much opposition to the bill.
Mark Tallman, legislative director for ASK, said student lobbying at the Statehouse could be very effective.
"The thing that needs to be stressed is that this is exactly the sort of thing state students need to be doing," he said. "You absolutely have to have a demonstration from the people."
KU students also met briefly with Gov. Mike Hayden and gave him a blue and red KU sweatshirt, an invitation for representation for his support of free release.
"I couldn't be here where I am today without higher education in Paris."
Kelly Milligan, student body vice president, said, "The only way Kansas is going to emerge from this economic downturn is if we diversify ourselves so that we no longer rely on aerospace, oil, gas and agriculture. And the only way to do that is through education."
Tallman said the Legislature had a philosophical bias against budget extras such as fee releases, he said. He added that the budget released excess fees for six years.
"The Legislature likes to believe that it can determine a budget for the universities that will be set," he said. "They don't like surprises like an increase in enrollment."
The state's budget always must have a positive balance, Tallman said, adding that the state Finance Committee tries to maintain a surplus of at least $100 million.
Hayden's budget proposal shows a surplus of about $130 million, but includes a federal windfall of $130 million that was generated from surplus state taxes, Tallman said.
The state has no guarantee that it will receive the windfall, and many legislators are unwilling to gamble on losing their surplus cushion, he said.
U.S. deserts terrorism meeting
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The United States, rebuffed by France and two other close allies, was forced yesterday to abandon plans for a sevennation meeting in Rome on countering the rising tide of terrorism.
ence held in the shadows of a U.S. military buildup in the eastern Mediterranean.
Although State Department officials said military steps were not on the agenda, the reluctant allies did not wish to participate in a confer-
With eight Americans being held hostage in Lebanon, there was apprehension that the United States retaliated, as it did in April against Libya.
The session was to have opened today and focused on the recent spate of abductions.
Redman said the United States had hoped for an exchange of information on the recent hostage-takings.
France, which initiated the boycott, and Britain and West Germany, which also declined invitations to attend, all have hostages in Lebanon.
L. Paul Bremer, who heads the State Department's counterterrorism office, was to lead the U.S. delegation.
