Arts
Continued from p. 1
Carey said that Kansas usually figured poorly in the national rankings for arts spending. The new ranking was the best the state has ever had, but he said NASAA rankings could change rapidly.
"The figures can change any time any legislature across the United States takes any action which affects the budget in any state," he said. "Through no fault of our own, we might have risen."
Because the Kansas Legislature has proposed a 6.9 percent cut in financing for the Kansas Arts Commission for fiscal year 1987, the state's position could slip, he said.
"The more money that the Kansas Arts Commission has to bolster the image of the state, the better we're going to look with businesses, particularly with businesses on the management level," he said.
poor support for the arts could have important economic implications.
Two Lawrence area arts experts said that despite the state's low ranking, they thought Lawrence was less affected by low financing for the arts than other Kansas towns because of the University of Kansas and Lawrence's proximity to Kansas City.
Carev said the state's record of
"In Lawrence, we're a lot better off than most of the state," said Doug Tlighman, assistant director of the KU Spencer Museum of Art.
Lawrence Arts Commission, said,
"There's a high percentage of artists
who live here. Lawrence seems to be
a community in which a lot of people
are interested in the arts."
Louis Cont. president of the
Tuesday night, the Lawrence City Commission passed a resolution requiring that a percentage of public building and capital improvement costs be used for art for city projects. Copt said Lawrence was the first city in Kansas to pass such a mea-
"People don't think of the arts in economic terms," Sicilian said. "They think of the arts only in terms of adding to the cultural fiber of society or something like that. Our nature there is also an economic impact of the arts on the economy You can think of the arts as an industry."
Shirley Sicilian, a research economist at KU's Institute for Public Policy and Business Research, said that a study she completed in December 1985 indicated that expenditures by the Kansas Arts Commission generated $14.3 million for the state economy in fiscal year 1985.
She said that typically people spend $1 in related expenses for every dollar they spent attending an arts event.
For example, a visit to the theater might result in such expenses as food, travel and babyspising costs, she said. Also, the price of a ticket might help pay for wages and salaries of artists.
Teaching

in the school was unaffected by last fall's enrollment surge.
"We're like most engineering schools in the country." Locke said.
Carl E. Locke, dean of the School of Engineering, said the school suffered budget cuts, but they were not drastic since most of the courses were taught by permanent instructors instead of GTAs.
"We don't teach many service courses like freshman English or chemistry."
Instead of reducing the number of GTAs, the school did not replace a machinist and a software engineer who had resigned, canceled some of its spring courses and cut its summer program in half. Locke said.
Locke added that the school was
not entirely dependent on funds from the state to employ GTAs. Funds from research grants and releasetime monies generated by faculty members are also used to pay graduate teaching assistants.
John O. Tollefson, dean of the School of Business, said the school had cut its budget allotment for GTAs and part-time lecturers by
$22,000 for the spring and summer semesters.
The cut has been made by canceling unappointed GTA positions, Tollefson said.
"We haven't fired anyone," he said. "Everyone who was offered a job has one."
