Budget to Hayden for final approval
Package includes Margin of Excellence
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The Legislature yesterday sent about three-quarters of the state's next annual budget to Gov. Mike Hayden, including money for the Margin of Excellence program for Board of Regents universi-
Other major bills passed included the "KanWork" welfare reform program and salary increases for judges.
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 compromise before the wrap-up session began.

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 $2.9 million for programs. The extra money would increase faculty salaries by an average of 7.5 percent.
Rep. Robert Vancur, 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 organizing that need." Vancrum 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 cane that he will wear beat the Giants in an annual KSU concrete Game Brace.
"We've got the winning canoe right here," he said. "This is the year. We've got all the calculators and we've got a sink unless there are big waves."
Ben Frevert, Pomona senior,
said that about 25 civil engineers
have helped to construct the
bridge over the Mississippi

leaders it depends on the budget," said Copeland. "Some people are getting out of Education; some people are getting out of Law School. Everybody has his own budget, but the Thunderbird coupe is attracting a lot of graduates."
Speaking of T-birds, Thunderbirds are as popular now as they were back in the 1960s. Bryan Copeland, salesman at the Laird Noller car dealership, 253 W. 48th St., Ford Thunderbird is a good buy for college graduates. A 1988 model starts about $15,000.
attracting a no. 10 or grandpa.
"I love you for your pink Cadillac, crush velvet seats, ridin' in the back, cruisen' down the street."
The Ford Tempo may be in the pink Cadilla category, but for a college graduate, the Tempo might seem like a Cadilla. Copeland says the Tempo, starting about $9,000 for a four-door, is the best selling car for first-time buyers.
Ford and Mazda joined forces about a year ago to develop a new line of cars for people who wanted foreign engines in their cars, Tracer, Festiva and Probe, are Mazda-engineered
and Ford-manufactured. The Festiva starts at $5,995.
"Riding along in my automobile . . .
with no particular place to go."
The Dodge Shadow and the Plymouth Sundance offer a nice ride, says Loris Brubeck, Jr., president of Jim Clark Motors. He says a graduate can get a nicely equipped Shadow or Sundance for less than $10,000.
But he says that Chrysler offers one of the best deals on a car, considering price, style and warranty. Chrysler has a seven-year, 70,000-mile warranty. "College graduates are intelligent buyers," Brubeck says. "It's a big decision for them, so they know what they want when they come to buy. They want something that is stylish. They want something that is dependable and economically feasible." (Berkshire Hathaway, 521)
One of the most popular cars for graduates is the Toyota Camry, says John Eilena, general manager of Jim Ellena Toyota.
"The Camry is popular because it's always done well in the consumer magazine," Ellen says. The Camry runs from $13,500 to $17,000.
Bowie Gibbies, sales manager at Toyota,
says that the college finance program
allows graduates to purchase a Toyota
without a credit. The firm has 108
accreditations at $6,250. The Celicas
start at $1,500 and go up to $15,000,
depending on optional equipment.
