Student body leader vows to veto budget amended by Senate
Krakow objects for $1,600 for Crew
By Jeff Moberg
Kansan staff writer
Student body president Jason Krakow last night noved to veto any budget that contained additional money for the KU Crew.
"If this is the only capital expenditure request made, I don't think it's a sound budget and I will veto it," Krakow said during a special budget session of Student Senate. "It's not consistent."
Senate last night amended the Senate Finance Committee's proposed budget and voted to give KU Crew an additional $1,600 to buy a set of eight oars. The committee's original recommendation called for KU Crew to receive $7,875. Krakow said it would not be fair to other student organizations to give only the crew team money for capital expenses.
an incentive for capital expansion.
Krakow also objected to KU Crew's
"Obviously, that was not the case," Krakow said. "I thought they would stick to what they said last year with a good faith agreement."
Earlier in the evening, John Cissel, liberal arts senator, made a motion to restore a request from KU Crew that would have used Senate money to buy a four-man shell costing $8,200. This request was denied by the Finance Committee during budget hearings because the committee was hesitant to finance any large expenditure unless it was necessary for a group's survival.
Cissell said that KU Crew deserved the new shell as well as the set of oars.
"They not only bring good times and an education, but they bring recognition to the University," he said.
David Brandt, KU Crew captain.
Glenn Shirliff, Finance Committee chairman, said that the Senate should not finance the shell because of the cost and because KU Crew needed to plan for future expenditures.
"If this goes through, they are going to walk out of here with one-fourth of the budget." Shirtliff said. "You have some problem with that."

"We do have a fixed amount of money and there will be future requests," Templin said. "The question for this body to decide is whether they want to spend that much on one organization, especially with the large amounts we've spent in the past."

more fragile than wine, partly because of its low alcohol content. Roberts used to own Bacchus and Barcarycn, a supplier for home brewers and winemakers in Mission. Beer is more susceptible to contaminants and off-flavors. The higher alcohol content in wine can kill invading bacteria and mask flavors that are not supposed to be there.
To make beer, Burnham starts with maked barley that he mashes himself, or he buys a malt extract syrup that is already mashed. To mash the barley, he adds water until it has the consistency of porridge. He heats it to 120 degrees and then lets it rest for 20 minutes. Next, he reheats the mixture and holds it at 150 degrees until all of the starch is converted to fermentable sugar.
To separate the sugar from the barley husks, he puts the mash into a vessel with small holes in the bottom. He pours hot water over the mash, causing the sugar to drop through the bottom. He repeats this process until he has a clear liquid called wort.
Burnham boils the wort, then adds hops. Hops are flowers that add bitterness to the beer to counteract the sweetness of the barley. He boils the wort with the hops again, then adds another dose of hops for aroma.
When the mixture has cooled to 80 degrees, yeast is added — top-fermenting yeast for ale and bottom-fermenting for lager. Ale is fermented at room temperature and takes only 10 days. Lager, on the other hand, is fermented in cold storage and takes much longer because the yeast works more slowly at low temperatures. Burnham stores his lager in the refrigerator for six months during fermentation.
'Mozart's Minuet Lager' and 'Smokey the Beer'
At the end of fermentation, he carefully checks the sugar content to be sure that it is all fermented out before he bottles the beer. Then, he adds a precisely measured dose of corn syrup during bottling to create a predictable amount of gas in the beer. This method, which prevents the bottles from exploding, is one he discovered after the Pale Ale disaster. He waits five weeks before drinking his beer, although it is drinkable after only seven days.
Barnum beers twice a month. He brews 12 gallons of single beer, the same Pale Ale he recipe has used for years, and five gallons of specialty beer. His specialty beers are recipes that simulate famous European beers, such as Irish stout, English bitter and Belgian Chimay beer, which ages for two years. Or, they are flavored beers, such as his
cherry, raspberry and ginger beers. Some of his beers have odd names, such as "Mozart's Minut Lager" and "Smokey the Beer," so-named because the grain is smoked. In all, he has tried nearly 100 varieties.
Why does a man spend hours upon hours making beer and wine in a musty cellar, when he can, in 15 minutes and for not much more money, go to the store and buy the same thing? It's because Burnham gets satisfaction from doing it himself. He also sought that satisfaction by designing and building his house and art studio. A few years later, he added a greenhouse to grow his own herbs and vegetables. Then, he designed and built a gazebo with a wet bar lights, and a ceiling fan for entertaining in his back yard. He built his own television. He even bakes his own bread, not from flour, but from whole wheat kernels that he grinds himself.
He enjoys the creative process. And although home brewing and winemaking have become nearly a science in recent years, they remain an art for Burnham. He is always experimenting and varying his tried-and-true formulas to come up with something even greater.

The group also sponsored a demonstration yesterday. Najib said that approximately 40 students participated in a peaceful march from the Kansas Union to Strong Hall and back.
Khalid Najib, president of the group, said that the purpose of the exhibit was to show the American people that Palestinians are a people who are proud of their heritage and customs. Najib's family was forced to leave the West Bank in 1948.

ans to defy bulpit ban
Treeby said that the national Presbytery might dismiss Swaggart from the denomination if he resumed preaching May 22 but that Swaggart could appeal that.
Juleen Turnage, a spokeswoman for the national office of the Assemblies of God in Springfield, Mo., said Swaggart's option to return after three months "does not exist anymore."
"The General Presbytery overwhelmingly and without a dissenting vote affirmed the authority of the Executive Presbytery to make decisions on matters concerning ministerial credentials," she said yesterday.
Although the 13-member Executive Presbytery, which acts as the church board of directors, interrupted its regular bimonthly meeting to watch Treebey's televised news conference, "We don't consider that we've heard from Jimmy Swaggart, because we don't communicate through television news conferences with our disciplined ministers," Turnage said.
The Rev. G. Raymond Carlson, the he Assemblies' general superintendent, said Tuesday that if Swaggart did not accept its ruling, 'the Executive Presbytery would do doubt take action to dismiss him."
Asked if Swaggart had considered leaving the Assemblies, Freeby said, "He is considering his possibility of an appeal.
