"I've seen the headline," Warnke said. "I'm not aware of any. But that doesn't mean we guessed accurately every move. We hope for movement. As to concern about miscalculation, I am unaware of any."
KC to dismiss 500 teachers
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —The Kansas City school board took the first step of a hardlined policy toward striking teachers with the announcement yesterday that 500 teaching contracts would not be renewed.

REILLY SAID laws prohibiting driver under the influence of marijuana were especially hard to enforce because marijuana is highly addictive. He said the bill would have increased the number of people who would smoke marijuana. Thus more people would be driving under the influence of marijuana, and traffic fatalities would increase.
He also said that no one knew the extent of the physiological harm caused by the drug. State Sen. Arnold Berman, D-Lawrence, voted for the bill. One of his aides had said earlier in the evening that Bermann's constituency was split between those who strongly opposed the bill and those who strongly favored it.

Recruiting groups before Senate
In its second night of budget hearings, the Student Senate Academic Affairs Committee debated whether to fund University programs that recruit and retain students.
Staff Reporter
By LINDA STEWART
Some senators favored funding the organizations, saying that the groups used their recruiting trips to get scholarship funds.
The Senate Finance and Auditing Committee's general budgeting philosophy states that the Senate shouldn't fund groups that recruit and retain students.
OTHER SENATORS SAID that student
others shouldn't be used to recruit and retain
students.
The committee deferred final deliberation until Wednesday night when it will vote.
Three student organizations that presented requests listed as one of their goals recruitment and retainment. They are American Women Engineers (UAWE), $1,112; the Student Council for Recruiting, Motivating, and Educating Black Engineers (BUEE), $4,610; and the American Law School Association (BALSA), $1,555.
The committee heard requests from nine organizations that requested a total of $12,222, which is $3,570 more than the committee has to allocate. The committee will give its recommendations to the full Senate at meetings April 12 and 13.
UAAWE and SCOREME said they traveled to high schools to encourage them.
THE GROUPS SAID retaining students was accomplished by giving minority and women engineering students already in the school benefits, such as free tutoring and organizations that drew the students together and gave them moral support.
SCORMEB requested a line item of $3,350 for travel for both in-state and outstate mileage. UAAWE requested a traveling budget of $600.
Both SCOMBEME and UAAWE receive money from individual corporations, which is stipulated to be used only for scholarships, not travel.
The Engineering School Council, which presented a request for $3,000 was found by

THE ENGINEERING School Council is ruled a class C organization in the Student Senate Revenue Code, which means that it can't disburse the money it is allocated by the Senate. The school district must submit the bill. The district will disburse money last year to subordinate engineering organizations.

The American Society of Civil Engineers made a request for $405, $225 of which would be used for the project.
Other groups that presented requests were the Undergraduate Philosophy Club, $210; the Society of American Military Engineers, $172; and Black'teens, $718.
