'Call me Ishmael'
'Moby Dick' read to honor Melville
By Jonathan Plummer
Canean staff writer
Today may be the first time that a whale has appeared on Wescoe Beach.
A 24-hour reading of "Moby Dick" will take place today in front of the museum to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of Herman Melville
Elizabeth Schultz, professor of English and the event's organizer, said 70 people would read from the novel for 20 minutes at a time.
Schultz said the readers were KU students, faculty and staff, as well as members of the Lawrence community.
'There are more people interested in this than I ever anticipated. I hope those who are not reading come by just to listen.'
— Elizabeth Schultz professor of English
Among those reading, she said, will be a KU English professor who is returning from his leave in Chicago and a former member of KU's English department who now teaches at the University of Missouri-Rolla.
Schultz said the number of people who asked to join the reading was so great that she had had to shorten the reading times from 30-minute *most*

KU is seeking tuition relief
Budig says endowment programs will provide scholarship money
By Eric Nelson
Kansan staff writer
KU officials are looking to the Kansas University Endowment Association for relief from tuition increases.
Last week the Board of Regents increased tuition by 8 percent for residents and by 15 percent for non-residents for the 1991-92 academic year.
This increase will be followed by a proposed increase for 1992-93 of 8 percent for resident students in smaller regional schools, 10 percent for residents in research schools such as and 12% percent for all non-residents.
Along with approving increases, the Regents tabled a proposal by the student advisory committee for new scholarships.
After the Regents action, Chancellor Gene Budig said, "I do not expect the state to increase student scholarships," and "way in the immediate years ahead."
Budid said the University would rely on programs such as Campaign Kansas to carry the burden of finding scholarship money.
"We must be sensitive to the magnitude of these increases," he said. "This action places great pressure on students and staff, and more private funding for student
tunities at KU."
Todd Seymour, president of the endowment association, said the association had already received $24 million this year for student scholarships.
"Scholarships are one of the main things we are raising money for all the time."
He said that small amounts donated may go directly to scholarships, while some larger amounts go to special funds. The income generated from fund's investments go to scholarships.
John Scarlie, director of public relations for the association, said that when endowment funds began counting toward Campaign Kansas on July 1, 1987, the goal for scholarships was set at $20 million.
As of January 1991, $30.9 million had been pledged or committed to scholarship funds, he said. Money will continue to count toward the campaign until June 30, 1992, even if education has already exceeded its goal.
"It's a popular item to give for." Scarfe said of the scholarships.
"That has always been one of our
He said the association always had worked hard to help students meet financial needs.
