extra money materialize, it will be placed in an equipment reserve fund, which doesn't have a specific assignment but is isolated out to manage payments upon request throughout the year.
THE EXTRA one-half per cent increase,
according to various administrators'
calculations, could represent an amount
from $41,000 to $85,000.
Whether or not the extra one-half per cent comes through, OOE funds have been set at a 7 per cent increase and won't benefit from the extra money.
Capital improvements also has been cut substantially in final legislative action.
Although additions to Malott Hall and Robinson gymnasium were allowed, no other adjustments are recommended to eliminate Keogt's requests for $730,000 to renovate Lindley $400,000 to renovate Marvin Hill $167,000 to restore Halle Hall and $83,000 to restore Green Hall.

Administrators said, however, that the new buildings were justified on the basis of providing much-needed additional—not replacement—space for various programs to relieve seriously crowded facilities. Students and faculty will continue the third floor of Strong Hall will continue to be used for academic and academic-related programs.
Legislators also followed the governor's recommendation on when they failed to appropriate any money for maintenance supplies for three new buildings to be occupied in fiscal year 1978. Regents had requested that the governor for maintenance supplies for the new law building, the new art museum and the new visual arts building.
ADMINISTRATORS guessed that the governor's recommendation had been based on a false presumption that space to be vacated in Green Hall, Spooner-Thayer Museum and the third floor of Strong Hall wouldn't be used and that budgets for construction could not support these buildings could, therefore, be shifted to the three new buildings.
Strong Hall's third floor will be used as it is now during part of fiscal year 1978. When the visual arts programs move out, the third floor will be used to expand office space, which is in mathematics department, which is now located in temporary and overcrowded facilities.
SPOONER-THAYER Museum will be in transition for much of the year. It will require about six months to relocate the museum to Glen Forsman Spencer Museum of Art.
Following that transition, the Museum of Anthropology immediately will move its activities from the basement area of Blake Hall to the main floors of Spooner-Thayer Hall.
The Spooner-Thayer main gallery also will be used as a lecture room, a recital hall, a concert hall and for offices for new faculty.
Green Hall will be used to provide tem-
porature expansion space for the University
library.
Regents also had requested a $1,103,408 increase in the general fee fund expenditure which, in turn, allowed library movements. However, following revisions made by the governor and then the legislature, they will have only $363,800 to work with. Regents had scheduled the

That team reported, "Even a cursory examination of the University of Kansas library system indicates that it is unfortunate that we have not convinced that the library is a problem at the University of Kansas and that solutions to problems of library space and funds must be found if the University is to maintain the graduate and graduate programs of quality."
However, Bennett slashed more than $600,000 from the request; legislators repeated the cutting action, although not so severely, by reducing the action to $20,000.

Total $1,103,408
THE UNIVERSITY also didn't fare well with a request to increase the 1977 spending limit on already accumulate money from a parking lot, specifically to improve parking lots, specifically O Zone.
Administrators told legislators, "We are now convinced that conditions in Watson Library have reached crisis proportions and we should begin immediately to rectify the situation."
Administrators had planned to complete parking lot repairs and improvements before fall semester classes begin in August. However, the $100,000 request was denied by both the governor and the legislature.
REGENTS HAD requested about $70,000 in an effort to switch funding responsibility for the special education department from federal support to the state budget. The governor and the legislature ignored that request.
The legislature also rejected several new programs dealing with special education, human development and hydrocarbon use. These programs are included in the University's budget request.
The repairs will be made next year.
They also denied a request for about $35,000 to have been used by the Kansas Geological Survey in a reevaluation that have been neglected as unconcerned.
Regents had justified the program, saying that recent and significant changes in the economics of oil and gas have made the search for new hydrocarbon sources a national priority and have stimulated ex-mergers and tertiary recovery projects in Kansas.
THEY SAID the attraction of exploration for secondary prospecties is that the geophysical well logs. This information could be processed to yiel reliable estimates of reservoir properties in secondary targets. Most of the system and much of the wells are developed, Regents said, and with additional personnel and equipment support, the analysis of these old well logs could yield information for the petroleum industry.
The governor also recommended that the legislature give nothing to the University for a human development master's program, which Regents had requested about $15,100.
The legislature did allocate a $25,000 compromise for the program, which will be part of a graduate program within the department of human development and family life.
IN THIS case, the legislature was almost forced to disregard Bennett's recommendation and appropriate at least a marginal amount for the program. Since the legislature established a Division of Services for Children and Youth to support
The only new program which received unanimous support from the governor and the legislature was one dealing with the chemical quality of irrigation waters in Kailua.
group homes and other programs, the rapid development of group homes has led to a serious scarcity of professional staff to operate them.
TWO CAPITAL improvements approved by legislators and Bennett were the purchase of the Wesley Foundation Building of future power needs at the University.
The legislature also reversed the governor's decision to eliminate a $99,000 request by the University to replace Hoch Auditorium stage curtains.
The Wesley building, located immediately adjacent to the Lawrence campus, has for several years been used by students and faculty to study property are now willing to sell it, and Regents, in view of the property's location and the University's need for space for service, educational and research function, provided support of the requested $196.000.
That amount covers the $150,000 cost of the property and $40,000 for repairs and maintenance.
Legislators approved the request with Bennett's stipulation that the planning funds be provided for a study of future University power needs.
The $100,000 request had originally been made by the University to study the feasibility of a solid waste-fired steam generation plant. Although the governor supported the study into energy needs and alternatives, no appropriate approach was considered that it be restricted to studying a solid waste steam generating plant.
Brown need not be modest because he is one of the few good figures carvers left in the United States. Even Edgar Bergen, one of the premier ventriolquists in the business, has recommended Brown to other puppeteers.
SHOW BUSINESS people in all parts of the country, including Roy Clark of the television show He Hsaw, have bought dummies from Brown.
"I always enjoyed entertainment," he said. "That's all I heard as a kid-show."
He says word of mouth has kept him busy making ventilatorial figures for religious groups, educational organizations, people in show business and collectors of the unique.
Brown, who has a kind face and swept-back gray hair, smiles as he remembers his past, which includes a father who was a nurse. Brown also works with a man who has worked with Bob Hope and John Wayne on various stage presentations. Watching his father, who also worked with the Punch and Judy show, Brown picked up his hat, making dummies and throwing his voice.

"They say I'm the best wood carver they know of," he says, holding a three-foot lamp dummy Doris on his lap. "They say that anyway. But I don't say that."
Brown, 75, has been carving and painting ventrilolquial figures and hand puppets since 1838, and has made about 150 such characters.

goes through a short routine with Doris, Doris seems to be alive as Brown deceptively speaks with her and moves her eyes, head, and mouth.
Brown began making hand puppets in 1938, but started concentrating on the practice in 1959, when he retired from the Lawrence Fire Department.
He enjoys entertaining children, he says, because they are fascinated by the magic of teachers and religious workers think the darnes are a good tool for holding students.
Finally, Brown paints the character, using heavy strokes to pronounce the facial lines so the figure can be seen far from her clothes. Brown wears a pair of clothes at a local department store.
Brown has performed, and still does occasionally, for groups like the War Dads
BROWN'S IDEAS for characters come from many places.
Once he has the idea, Brown takes a block of basswood, the softest of the hardwoods, and cuts it to size in his workroom filled with tools and other tools. The face is carved by face.
pick out a character and study him. That's the reason I like circuses. You can see so many characters and made-up faces," he says.
Then the extra mechanical features such as moving eyes, mouth and neck are made possible by putting handles and levers inside the hollow stomach.
Each puppet, made from basswood, takes between 10 and 15 hours to make, and costs around $50. The market for puppets isn't as good as it is for ventilator dummies.
The dummies, which stand about three feet tall, are much larger than the hand puppets and take between 60 and 70 hours to curve and paint. Because of the intricate work required, not no two puppets are alike, prices for the dummies range between $250 and $400.
"THE NAME of the figure sort of comes to me after I carve it," Brown says. "Then I can associate the character with the name."
One such name is Phil Lander, cleverly given to a schoolboy who managed to go home without being caught.

Occasionally, Brown says, he becomes attached to a character and doesn't want to sell him. He had an especially difficult time with him, a black back dummy he recently sold.
