$4 million may be allotted to KU
Kansan staff writer
By Eric Nelson
A large chunk of the $16 million reinstated to the financing of higher education through a House amendment would filter to KU if it survives legislative obstacles.
Lindy Eakin, associate vice chancellor for administration and finance, said the University of Kansas is working to improve
"This is everything we asked for except the Magistrate, and they haven't addressed salaries." he said.
Eakin said financing for faculty and classified employees' salaries was an issue the Legislature would face later in the session. Gov. Joan Finney placed salaries under a category separate from
the Regents budget.
The largest amount of money for KU would come from enrollment adjustment, Eakin said. The $1.27 million received would compensate for past increases in enrollment.
KU also would receive $242,510 for graduate teaching assistant fee waivers out of the $500,000 allocated to the Regents system. But Eakin said the figure was deceiving because it did not represent new money to the KU budget but rather the amount of money saved.
Eakin said that the amendment was encouraging but that he was still worried about what could happen if it was repealed.
"They're in much more of a cutting mood than the House is right now," he said.
Eakin said the situation seemed to be one that would require more state budget cuts or higher taxes for the state to finance projects.
Del Shankel, interim executive vice chancellor,
said he was also pleased to see the House put $16
million into the Regents budget, $4 million of it for
KU.
But he agreed that KU's work was far from done. "We have meetings with Sen. Winter and others," Shankel said. "We are trying to urge people to write letters to their senators."
Shankel said that if tax increases were necessary to finance higher education, it would be an initiative supported by the administration. He also reported that the factiona Fuhrmans contributed information to this story.
ASK organizing to fight cuts in Regents budget
By Michael Christie Kansas staff writer
The next few weeks in Topeka are critical for KU's future, and Associated Students of Kansas will be asked to provide their input.
Greg Hughes, ASK campus director, said that ASK would spend this week organizing ed so it can lobby the Senate effectively about financing the seven Board of Regents institutions.
"We're going to try and target students in key districts." he said.
Johnson County is one of those districts, Hughes said. Many KU students come from the area, and it
has influential residents.
Another plan targets parents of Kansas honor students.
Mike Schreiner, student body president, said it was important for parents of honor students to lobby the Legislature because they represented a diverse section of the public.
"These are the kinds of students we want to keep in the state." he said.
A Senate Ways and Means subcommittee is working on higher education legislation. It is considering eliminating proposed tuition increases for next year and cutting $16 million that the House
recently voted to restore to the Regents budget. Hughes said that the combined budget cuts were "unacceptable."
Publicity focuses on recycling awareness
The Legislature will have its hands tied with the budget if no new revenue comes in, flushes said.
Schreiner said that he received the impression from talking to state senators that higher education was a priority but that the state did not have the money to finance it.
"What we have to do is continue advocating a revenue-generation plan," he said.

The task force has been making posters and fliers to display on campuses for publicity about Recycling Week, which begins today.
"Our first priority is to get people to utilize the recycling baskets available on campus," Gottschall said. "We're going to flood the room with publicity and imprint the message in people's minds."
The task force will have an information table in the Union and will use the information booth outside of Stauffer-Flint Hall to inform students about reusing resources.
were recycling a lot of newsprint but that they could recycle more aluminum.
"When you reuse a product, it saves energy and resources," she said. "It assures the product will be safe." When it doesn't, there's useless and cumbersome."
"I think we're lucky if we are recycling half of the aluminum cans from the students on this campus," she said.
She said that the publicity on campus was to encourage people to think about what happens to their waste.
Gottschalk said that students
"We want people to take the information back to their homes and use it there, too," she said.
Tina Haladay, co-chairperson of the task force, said that the idea of the awareness week was to make people realize that there were consequences to throwing things away.
"The little things add up," she said. "It seems like no big deal for one person to throw something away, but when everyone on campus throws something away we have a problem."
"We hope that the publicity will make people see things more globally with a wider perspective."
