Groups' funding is Senate conflict
By TERRY SELBY Staff Reporter
The Auditing and Finance Committee last night begin to develop the Student Senate budget philosophy by saying the Senate shouldn't fund intercollegiate sports or organizations that recruit and retain students.
Bert Nunley, chairman of the Sports Committee, said he didn't know what elaborate provisions in the Senate budget philosophy would have on these allocations.
Meanwhile the Sports Committee passed a resolution to give block allocations of $40,000 to the Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Association for $8,083 to the Recreational Advisory Board.

Overspending decried
TOTAL AVAILABLE FOR THE CULTURAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE TO BUDGET
TOPEKA (AP)—Gov. Robert Bennett addressed a prime-time radio and television audience yesterday to outline a potential impact on herpanas because of legislative overwhelping.
"As your governor, I now must come to you with my concerns in the hope that through you the legislature can be urged to cast aside its partisan garments and replace them with the mantle of responsibility," Bennett said of Carlin's refusal.
"I sincerely hope and pray that these steps will not be necessary," the governor cried.
LAST NIGHT'S address was the first occasion in which Bennett superset prime statewide exposure since becoming governor in 1975. The address was the result of Speaker John Carlil's refusal to allow the House to override him before a joint session of the legislature.
Bennett said state balances had been consistently eroded in the past three years by a rise in gas prices.
Should the legislature ignore his pleas for spending curses, Bennett said, he is prepared to veto appropriations and even to call a special legislative session to protect against fiscal insolvency, while protecting taxpayers against unjustified tax increases.
"THE OVERSPENDING of the legislature in 1975 has now eaten into state balances by $23.3 million," the governor declared. "The overspendment by the legislature in 1976 has now eaten into state balances by $30.3 million dollars."
Bennett went on to say that appropriations approved so far this session in one legislative chamber or the other, added $2.8 million for a total of $4.8 million.
"Unfortunately, if uncontrolled, this spending compounds itself—careless of the future and of the tax burdens which our people bear," he said.
The television address paralleled the letter Bennett sent to individual lawmakers earlier yesterday in which he explained the reasons for this concern and suggested remedies.
Earlier, Bennett had said he assumed Carlin's refusal of this gesture to address the crowd.
BENNETT SAID at a news conference that he understood the legislature was rushed as the 1977 session drew to a close, but thought the House and Senate could have allowed him to address them directly this week.
"I disagree with his reasoning, but not his right to reason that way," Bennett said of Cain.
Asked whether he thought Carlin's decision was political in nature, Bennett said, "I assume so, but you'd have to ask him yourself."
Shortly after Bennett talked with reporters, copies of the message he would have delivered were given to members of his house, with the Senate to get its copies later.
In light of the legislature's rejection of his request to address lawmakers directly, Bennett decided to go on television and radio to carry his thoughts to the people.
Bennett defended his admonition that the legislature was guilty of overspending, saying a general tax increase in 1978 would be necessary if every bill that has passed one house of the legislature was eventually passed.
Carlin will be given equal time to reply at 6:30 tonight.
Backstage
Behind-the-scenes concentration during the University Theatre's "Uncle Vanya," was wearing. While stage manager Nancy Flagg (top), Pittsburg senior, kept track of the numerous light and sound cues, others like Tamy Jiles, (left), Coffeyville freshman, awaited instructions from musicians Rhonda Blair, (bottom), Battle Creek, Mich., grad student, and Jim Ivey, South Holland, III., senior, spent much of their time backstage studying their scripts.
Action taken in Iranian controversy
By LEON UNRUE Staff Reporter
Administrative action has been taken in an incident between two Iranian students, the University of Kansas said in a statement. The university conducted a three-week investigation into the incident.
The report didn't go into detail concerning the action, and University officials refused specific comment. The three-member committee, formed specially for this incident, made its decision Monday, but withheld the statement until yesterday.
The University release said KU was forwarding a "communication" to the university's medical society yesterday the two staff involved in the incident, the ISA and its adviser all said they hadn't been notified of the committee's request for what administrative action might be taken.
The Buckley Amendment prohibits the university's disclosure of any disciplinary action.
THE UNIVERSITY investigation into the incident was ordered March 7 by Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, after he had met with ISA members who charged him for breaching the hearing was the result of a clash between ISA and SAVAK, the Iranian secret police.
ISA said the attack was made on an ISA member by Kambiz Zibail, Tehran, Iran, special student, who, the ISA said, was a SAVAK member.
The investigative committee, compris-
ing Sandek, Mike Davis, University geo-
graphics department, and Dr. Evan,
vice chancellor for student affairs, interviewed the two students allegedly in a lived in the room of Sandek.
The investigation centered on whether the incident had actually occurred, Shankel said, rather than on whether it was politically inspired.
Shankel was unavailable for comment last night. Davies refused to comment on the

Workload extends legislative term

A heavy workload of unfinished business will cause the Kansas Legislature to run past its Friday deadline for this year's session.
Senate Se. Norman Gaar, R-Westwood,
Senate major leader, said Monday that
the Senate leadership had given up hope of
finishing this week.
Gaar said the Senate probably would recess for the weekend and come back to work full days at least Monday and Tuesday before reaching first adjournment.
State Rep. John Carlin, D-Smolai, speaker of the House, said recently that the legislature wouldn't make an all-out effort to prevent long debate sessions and evening work.

'Aunt Carrie' library's namesake
Staff Renorter
Today is the 119th anniversary of the birth of Carrie M. Watson, a short, lively spinster, who was a librarian at KU from 1787 to 1921. She and the new library was built in 1924, the University's Daily Kansan called it "the dream of the woman for whom it was named."
By SUSAN HUME
Buildings usually are named after someone who is either wealthy or great, but in 1924, Watson Library at the University of Kansas was named in honor of someone some historians called dedicated but incompetent.
"Aunt Carrie," as she was known, worked at the KU library as it grew from 2,500 books in one room in old Fraser Hall to 300,000 books at its present site.
In 1988, the Lawrence Daily Journal World called Watson Library "an amazing growth from the one-roomed library, and all under one woman."
BUT, ACCORDING to Clifford S. Griffin in his book, "The University of Kansas: A History," from the turn of the century until Watson's retirement in 1921, complaints about her misreatment of the library were so ardent that University officials
CLIFFORD SAID that Watson was especially incompetent in "deciding purchase priorities, periodic binding of orders, and making bulk of value to two or more departments."
"Without a doubt, she saw the library as her personal preserve in whose administration the faculty should not intrude on administrative ability." Clifford wrote.
Complaints about her were many, he said, and when a library committee was created to act on "questions of library administration," Watson was deliberately excluded—even though she was head librarian at the time.
continually tried to find a replacement for her.
At one point, the editors of the Kansan threatened to do an expose of library management. But finally, according to newspaper accounts, Watson 'asked to be relieved of her duties,' and was succeeded by Earl N. Manchester in 1921.
Officials tried for many years to find a new head librarian, "preferably the scholar she was not," because complaints about library management were so ardent, he said.
WATSON WAS A FAMILIAR figure around the library for more than half a century, and after her retirement continued to work on the "Lawrence room" of the library, which held a collection of historical items that she began.
HER EFFORTS to get more money for additions to the library collection and more space for the books account for much of the early growth of the library.
Yet the new library was named after Carrie M. Watson, in spite of the protests of E. H. Lindley, who was chancellor of the University at the time.
While working at KU, Watson traveled to many universities. She attended several international librarian meetings, including one in Brussels, Belgium, in 1910.
I have loved people and I have done my
best to serve the students who came to the
school.

The main appropriations bill, which would allot KU $7,715,556 for salaries, utilities and maintenance, among other things, has also passed the Senate and is now in the House Ways and Means Committee. The appropriations bill for capital improvements, which would give KU $1,094,328 to Robinson Gymnasium and Malet Hall, has neither the Senate nor the House and is still in the Senate Ways and Means Committee.
A BILL TO reduce the penalties for possession of an ounce or less of marijuana, sponsored by Rep. Mike Glover, D-Dawrence, has passed the house and is now being considered by the Senate Committee on State and Federal Affairs.

NO CAR transporting than an ounce of marijuana could be confiscated by police if the marjuanja was in a locked compartment accessible to the driver or passengers.
The bill would make possession of an ounce or less of marijuana punishable by a fine of not more than $100 for the first two offenses and by a fine of up to $500 for offenses would be class A. Misdemeanors.
Money from fines would go to a drug abuse fund, which would be used by licensed officers in the case of offenses.
Possession of more than an ounce would be a class A misdeanear and a class D felony for the third and subsequent offenses. Delivering any amount of marjuana to anyone under 18 years old would be a class D felony.
Under current Kansas law, possession of

any amount of marijuana is a class A misdemeanor for the first offense and a class D felony for the second and subsequent offenses.
A bill to set up guidelines for a family practice program to be run through the KU Medical Center was introduced into the Senate Ways and Means Committee Tuesday. The money for this program was donated by members of the organizations bill chiefly because there were no specifications on how the money would be spent.
THE GUIDELINES bill would require local communities to pay part of the cost of four model family clinics to be located in kingsland cities with populations of fewer 200,000.
According to James Drury, professor of political science at KU, the limit on the
WHEN THE FEDERAL system was first set up, Drury said, the state legislatures were made relatively strong and the executive branches relatively weak due to a deep mistrust of a strong executive, with respect to the U.S. experience with British monarchs.
However, Drury said, the state legislatures became too powerful and abused their power. Reacting to this abuse, he said, the public demanded and got involved in the case of state legislatures, such as a limit on the number of days a year they could run.
number of days the legislature may meet has important historical roots.
Druiry said that in recent years, the restriction wasn't always followed to the letter because of increased workloads and the increasing demand for restricting legislative power.
County and city representatives returned from Washington yesterday, optimistic about the probability of receiving continued funding for Clinton Lake and the Mud Creek projects.
Glenn West, executive vice president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and one six of local laborists who made the trip, said that there didn't appear to be any problems and that Congress had been very receptive.
The six appeared before public works subcommittees of the Senate and the House of Representatives in support of water projects, especially Clinton and Mul Creek.
Continued funds likely for 2 county projects
He said, however, that the group didn't been concerned that Congress would cut the projects from the budget because the projects were near completion.
The funding request for Mud Creek is
$60,000. The request for Clinton is $5.9
million.
"But we are concerned," West said, "with keeping the funding coming at a level that will allow them to be completed as soon as possible."
Peter Whitehent, county commission chairman, told the senators and representatives that a bill

allocations, Clinton Dam was 99 per cent completed and that accompanying public use areas were ready for installation of facilities.
Whitenight said that other than a cleanup appropriation next year, the current request should be the last for the Clinton project.
The Mud Creek project, officially called Lawrence Local Protection, is ahead of schedule, be said, and should be finished. It will be completed and well below initially projected costs."
"Mud Creek is ahead of normal schedule for this type project only because of the extreme drought our area is enduring," he said.
The Mud Creek project includes cleaning and straightening the Mud Creek channel and constructing a key system to restrict local flooding. Mud Creek, which runs just north of Lawrence, collects water from the Kansas River and flows into the Kansas River.
West said the project was an effort to prevent massive flooding similar to that in California.
Those who made the trip were Whitenight; West; Marrie Argersinger, city commissioner; Don Westeffer, management association; George F尔勒, management Association; George F尔勒, president of the Kaw Drainage District; and Buford Watson, city manager.
