Budget to Hayden for final approval
Package includes Margin of Excellence
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The Legislature yesterday sent about three-quarter of the state's next annual budget to Gov. Mike Hayden, including money for the Margin of Excellence program for Board of Regents universities.
Other major bills passed included the "KanWork" welfare reform program and salary increases for tudues.
The House and the Senate passed eight appropriations bills containing close to $3 billion in spending. Hayden had proposed a $4.2 billion budget for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1.
Hayden praised the Legislature for tackling major appropriations bills on the first day of its wrap-up session. The House-Senate conference committee negotiated the compromises before the wrap-up session.
"Their actions today in passing all but three of the remaining regular

appropriations bills hopefully signifies a readiness to bring this session to a timely and orderly close," Hayden said.
The Margin of Excellence program was proposed by the regents as a way of making state universities more competitive with their peers in other states and to increase faculty salaries.
A conference committee agreed to spend a total of $9.1 million to fund
the program, $5.3 million for salary increases and $8.8 million to improve other academic programs. The regents had requested a total of $10.8 million, $6.3 million for salary increases and $4.4 million for other expenses. The more money would increase faculty salaries by an average of 7.5 percent.
Rep. Robert Vancurm, R-Overland Park, urged his colleagues to reject the conference committee's compromise on the Regents budget. The House had voted only to fund the salary increases.
"This has been rather a substantial change in philosophy — we said we would fund the faculty part of the plan, recognizing that need," Vanckrum said.
However, Rep. Rochelle Chronier, R-Neodesha, said many of the universities would use the extra program money to hire extra professors.
Students will race canoes at KSU

Sink or win is the motto for KU civil engineering students this weekend.
The students, who built and will race their concrete canoes in Manhattan on Saturday, say they will win.
Dan Lanning, Ottawa junior,
was putting the final coat of paint
on the canoe that he says will beat
the Mistletoe. The team last year

"We've got the winning canoe right here," he said. "This is the year. We've got all the calculators, we have all the sinks, sink unless there are big waves."
Ben Frevert, Pomona senior,
said that about 25 civil engineers
have helped to construct the
canoe, which is a different design
than canoes that KU engineers
have made in the past.

Then the tape ended. His hands, feet and
lips stood still. She straightened in her seat.
"I supose we should go to class now."
He leaned closer to her, smashing one leg into the stick shift. She could almost feel his breath on her face.
He put his hand under her chin and kissed her. "Let's go back to my apartment." Then he put his arm around her and led her off the dance floor.
"Oh."
Janie raised her hand. "I have to go to the bathroom."
"Please hurry," Mrs. Jackson answered. Jonny's penis tipped right and then left as she looked down the hall. No one was coming.
She held her breath as he moved one hand from the dashboard to her thigh and the other hand from the car seat to her shoulder.
She lay her head back on the stack of pillows, sipping her drink. "Classical music is fine. I've had enough rock 'n' roll for one evening. He started the Fresh Aire tape and scooted into bed next to her. "Now, where were we?"
Janie knocked on the door. No one answered. She pushed open the heavy door and stepped quietly inside. There were those funny sinks again.
Janie walked to the last stall. She sat down on the toilet and pulled her legs up to her chest with her feet on the seat. She smiled, "Tim loves Janie," she read on The Boy's Wall. She pulled her pen from her pocket. Then she turned to her right hand with her left, she drew a heart the size of a workbook page around the writing.
She closed her eyes as his breath became hot on her face. His lips barely touched hers.
She wrapped her legs around his body, pulling him closer.
