Regents ask 13 per cent boost in KU's 1979 operating budget
Increased funding recommendations of 13 per cent by the Kansas Board of Regents reflects the Regents' concern for the continuing high quality of educational programs at the University of Kansas, Chancellor Archie Dykes said.
Dykes said he was especially pleased with the Regents' approval of $83,603 for improvements in teaching and scientific instructional equipment and a $300,000 increase for his department overhead costs that aren't repaid by federal grants.
He also praised the Regents for recommended funding increases for new and improved programs at KU.
These programs include $87,059 for a child abuse center, $54,671 for a transportation research program and $18,317 for training to accommodate handicapped students, a program that compiles with federal government
The Board of Regents approved Friday Regents Budget and Finance Committee recommendations that KU's total operating increases requests for fiscal year 1979 were set at $7,283,768. KU had requested KI$1,815,764.
Several funding proposals, however, were substantially reduced by the Regents committee. Among these were
requests for funds to improve KU's libraries and to increase the number and the salary of student workers.
The request for library improvements was reduced from $1,068,227 to $100,000.
Phil Arnold, budget officer for the Regents, and Friday that the college offered two honors to the Ohio College computerized cataloging system.
The Regents committee also reduced KU's request for a fund increase for the student workers program from 48 to 36.
In fiscal year 1978, KU did not receive an increase in funding for the workers and the program operated on a level of $747,833.
Complying with the Regents' funding guidelines, the committee approved $355,292 to fulfill KU's request for a 10 per cent increase in operating expenditures, and $2,288,331 for a seven per cent increase in faculty salaries.
The Regents also approved $23,024 in graduate student fee waivers for some teaching and research positions.
ARMOA said that the waivers had been very popular among students at all Kansas Regents institutions.
Along with budget recommendations for capital improvements, the following approved requests are to be
forwarded to Gov. Robert F. Bennett before the total budget is presented to the 1978 session of the Kansas Legislature.

StudEx wants students notified when grades are sent to parents
An amendment to bring the student code article dealing with the confidentiality of student records more in accord with the requirements of Section 625 passed unanimously by StudEx yesterday.
The StudEx amendment, which is attached to a Student Senate bill revising Student Code Article 22, which was passed during the spring by the Senate, will soon go to Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, for approval.
The StudEx amendment is attached to Senate Bill 603. That bill was passed last spring to ensure that all students are accorded their full rights guaranteed by educational Rights and Privacy Act, popularly known as the Buckley Amendment.
The Buckley Amendment, named after former New York Sen. James Buckley, who sponsored the amendment, went into effect Jan. 1, 1975.
StudEx members were informed by Reggie Robinson, chairman of the rights committee, that the current manual of the Kansas Board of Regents instructs state universities to send grade records of dependent students, regardless of their ages, to their parents or legal guardians when they request the grades.
ALTHOUGH THE AMENDMENT to the student code was passed unanimously, committee members had difficulty agreeing on whether students should be notified by the University when their grade is sent to their parents or legal guardians.
Robinson told the committee that these instructions to the universities weren't very well known to either students or their parents. But, he said, the instructions still existed and could be used anytime parents or legal guardians requested grades.
Two committee members, Mike Taraboules, committee services chairman, and Joel Mallie, Prairie Village junior, each said that they were concerned because of the number of students the universities to notify students when the grades had been sent to their parents.
Mallie said that notifying the student would protect him from being unaware that his grades had been sent to his parents or legal guardians.
Robinson and Caldwell, acting StudEx treasurer, said that they didn't see the need to inform the students, and that requiring the University to notify the students in writing would create an additional administrative burden.
Steve Leben, student body president, said it was necessary to resolve the issue because the deadline for printing the new student code was Friday.
Leben said that it was necessary to meet the deadline in order to have the new student enrolled. He added that there would be a car in the handbook distributed during fall registration that would inform students where copies of the new student code could be obtained.
Copies of the new student code will be available in the Senate office, but Leben
said he wasn't sure where else they would be distributed.
StuEx agreed that it was necessary to meet the printer's decline and unanimously rewrite the instructions.
"Board of Regents policy provides that the University may not withhold the written record of grades earned by any dependent student when the University receives a written request for such grades from a student, his parents or his legal guardian, in writing or by any disclosure of his grades made to his parents or his legal guardian."
In his financial report, Caldwell, who was selected by Leben to fill a vacancy and was unanimously approved by StudEx, reported that because student organizations didn't have the necessary capital, approximately $24,000 would remain when fiscal Year 1977 ends June 30.
CALDWELL SAID THAT it was impossible to arrive at an exact figure at this time because some of the organizations could still spend some of their money, but that the excess money would be transferred to next year's budget.
"This $24,000 would be in addition to the
$80,000 already allotted to us," he said.
$80,000 already allotted to us," he said. In other committee matters, Stauke DeBussy would recommend that it should make to Donald Alderson, acting vice chancellor for student affairs, about revising the procedures used to recognize student achievement.
Robinson said that present procedures
required student organizations to be registered and recognized by the University. The problem, he said, was that in order for an organization to receive student funds it must receive recognition from the University.
Leben said that a problem with this procedure occurred during the spring when three groups—Hillel, a campus Jewish organization; the College Republicans, and the KU Young Democrats—applied for student funds totaling $5,216.
The organizations were denied student funds because University guidelines prohibit the funding of any fund if it is substantially oriented toward support of a particular religious institution's activities or beliefs, or is aligned with political party's activities or organizations.
A STUDEX COMMITTEE to study new procedures for recognizing student organizations in the School of Study Ex members could not agree with the committee's recommendation to establish a review board complying with the vice chancellor's student affairs and three of Studex.
Other StudEx members, however, thought it was necessary to discuss other alternatives to the problem. They also said that it wouldn't hurt to postpone making a recommendation until after the next meeting, tentatively scheduled for July 10.
Sunday's meeting was the first of five Studios meetings scheduled for the summer

Paper reports Arabs tortured
LONDON (AP)—The London Sunday Times said a five-month investigation by its reporters found Israel systematically tortured Arab prisoners to extract information, confession fees and discourage protests.
No Israeli government reaction was available yesterday.
A three-and-a-half-page article by a Sunday Times reported team said its investigation in the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River and Gaza Strip implicated all of Israel's security services.
"Torture is organized so methodically that it cannot be dismised as a handful of 'rogue cops' exceeding orders," the report said. "It is systematic. It appears to be sanctioned at some level as deliberate policy."
The newspaper said it questioned 44 Arabs who claimed to have suffered ill treatment ranging from beatings to electric shocks, sexual assaults and confinement in specially constructed torture cells. It named 22 of the 44 and gave accounts of several cases over the last 10 years.
Pope elevates U.S. clergyman
VATICAN CITY (AP)—Pope Paul VI elevated Bishop John Nepomucene Neumann of Philadelphia to sainthood yesterday.
The Pope canonized the 19th century bishop, an immigrant from Bohemia and
America's first male saint, at an outdoor Mass celebrated before 25,000 people in St. Peter's Square.
"He was close to the sick, he was at home with the poor, he was a friend to sinners, and today he is the honor of all immigrants," the 79-year-old pontiff said in English to the predominantly American congregation.
PARIS-About 100 demonstrators defied a police ban yesterday and marched peacefully in Paris to protest that France is by Soviet President Gerd Brehmvej.
Brezhney, the 70-year-old general secretary of the Soviet Communist Party who Thursday replaced Nikolai Podgorny as president of the U.S.R. today began his term which he will produce "positive" results for France-Soviet relations.
America's two other saints have been women. St. Frances Xavier Cabrini was canonized in 1984 and St. Elizabeth Anne was canonized in 2007. St. Mary was added to the roll in 1975.
sunday's brief march was staged by a group called the "Committee of Coordination of Support for the Straits of China" of Eastern Europe and the USSR.

Funds abused magazine says
WASHINGTON (AP) - Members of Congress and their staffs spent $1 million in government funds for travel and more

entertainment last year than they reported publicly, according to U.S. News & World Report.
The official report of Congress,
published in the Congressional Record,
reported the spending totalled $1,431,826,
the magazine said.
Documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act showed that "certain costs have been omitted from the public record atrology, while others appear to have significantly—and dramatically—underserved," the magazine reported.
It said the major discrepancy between publicly repressed expenses and actual expenses was provided by the military. It said while public reports showed $243,474 in military air transportation costs, the true amount was $103,142. Pentagon calculations, was $103,142.
GRAND ANSE, Grenada—The United States quietly lobbed yesterday for a human rights resolution that asks the 24 members of the Organization of Human Rights to execute or detain anyone without the process of law or enrage in torture.
Rights pledge backed by U.S.
No solid, across-the-board support appeared to have materialized for the resolution and the Americans were looking to two blocs for support—the English-speaking Caribbean states and the undeclared Latin American countries.
No veto seen on works bill
WASHINGTON-House Majority Leader Jim Wright said yesterday he did not expect President Jimmy Carter to veto the public works bill, although it may include funds for some water projects he opposes.
"There's going to be, in my opinion, a mutual lewd," the Wright said on the CD television program "Face the Nation." Additional concessions will be made.
"I'm quite hopeful we will not have any presidential vetoes." Wright said that he would be surprised if there were any.
But Interior Secretary Cecil Andrus, in an interview with U.S. News & World Report, predicted that if Congress did not comprimise to the President's satisfaction on the disputed water projects, a veto was likely.
The House passed the public works bill last week after rejecting an attempt to delete funds for 16 of the 17 projects. Carter wants to kill. The Senate is still working on it but a Senate committee has set last Wednesday to eliminate eight of the projects.
The President contends the 17 projects are potentially harmful to the environment and have a low cost-benefit ratio.
Weather
The National Weather Service in Topeka issued a flash flood watch for the Topeka vicinity. The chance of thunderstorms is 50 percent today and tonight. Temperatures will be in the high 80s today, with a low in the 60s tonight.

"But that species of tarantula is relatively harmless," Paul, a biology major, said. "It's not aggressive, nonlethal and very slow moving."

"HE'S PROBABLY STILL in the room or where somewhere crawling around in those pipes," he said, pointing to the pipes running across the ceiling of his room.
In the 16th and 17th centuries the taranaua's bite had a reputation of causing a nervous disease characterized by hysteria and a mania for dancing, but as of yet no one in JRP has heard of or shown any uncontrollable urges to go to a disco.
Jackson's roommate, Paul Carman, Salina special student, said simply, "It doesn't really bother me. My brother had two tantalants, a male and a female, and I had a scorpion."
Jackson said he fed junior mainly crickets, but lately the tarantula had been feasting on moths. He used to eat them regularly, if Junior is

Under University residence hall regulations, the only pets allowed in the resident halls are fish, but Paul, who also works with the Association of University Residence Halls, said many people had been stretching the rules.
Paul said that if Junior was caught or returned to his territory he "will be disposed of immediately," but Jackson had other ideas.

The one vacancy in the University of Kansas basketball coaching staff has been filled by Bob Hill, an assistant coach for the two years at the University of Pittsburgh.
Hill's appointment filling the second of two assistant basketball coach positions in the staff that were formerly held by sid Sams Miranda and Duncan Reid, when he was a junior at Norwood, Northwood, a former Wichita Helgis High School coach, signed last month.
"I'm not very familiar with the personnel at KU or with the players, but I understand they have gone out," he said yesterday in a telephone interview from his home in
Pittsburgh. "I'm looking forward to the challenge." ...
Head basketball coach Ted Owens said he feltood that his staff was completed.
"I was searching to find as capable a man as I could," he said. "With Bob Hill we have a highly successful coach who has successfully both as a coach and as a recruiter."
Owens said that because Hill was from the East, he could significantly help KU's defense.
Hill said that Eastern players would not give Kansas instant success in basketball.
"I don't think Eastern players are better than Midwestern players," he said. "I don't think Western players are better."
"Since more players in the East come from the cities, most of the players play
