University Daily Kansan / Tuesday, February 26, 1991 5 Senate deliberates over budgets Groups wait to find out how much financing they'll receive By Michael Christie Kanean staff writer Although Student Senate will decide next year's budget March 5, organizations that receive financing may not know the amounts the finance committee has recommended they receive. The groups have had the opportunity to follow the discussion of their budgets in the finance committee, but Troy Radakovich, finance committee co-chairperson, said he had received only one inquiry about an audit on Tuesday. On Thursday, when the committee voted to send the budget proposal to Senate. "A lot of them will wait until Senate votes on the budget," he said. The budget hearings went smoothly this time as compared to two years ago, when the finance minister said he would pay $700,000 in cuts, Radakovich said. This year, about $100,000 had to be cut. Radakovich said that Carl Damon, Senate treasurer, had worked with the organizations since last fall to help the hearings go smoothly. Radakovich said the proposed media board and the restructuring of Graduate Student Council had helped the budget process. "He talked to them and guided them through," he said. "I think the requests were reasonable." Senate will vote on the media board bill tomorrow. The bills call for a $3 restricted fee to go to the Kansan and KJHK. The proposed restructuring of Graduate Student Council would finance graduate organizations Recommended Budget for Next Year. A $28 semester fee generates $1,289,150 annually

Firm will study Eastern Parkway's feasibility By Vanessa Fuhrmans Kansan staff writer Members of the engineering firm that will conduct the Eastern Parkway corridor study met with Lawrence officials and residents last night to discuss the proposed parkway's development. The session was the public's first opportunity to meet the engineers since the city selected Johnson, Brickell, Mulcahy and Associates, of Paxico, last fall to conduct the corridor study. Because of local concerns about the parkway's effect on traffic patterns and the environment, Ed Mulholland told residents to residents that the firm would test traffic response to the parkway with a computer software program. Mulichay said the firm would select five possible routes by June and then study each route's effect on the surrounding areas in conjunction with Burns & McDonnell, a Dodson, Mo. mental aspects of the parkway. Johnson, Brickell, Mulcahy and Associates will select a final route in Mulchy said that if the parkway's environmental impact was too great, he would find a way to do it. “It’s very possible that we may run into environmental issues that are too important to overcome,” he said. “I’m not saving they’re there, but I'm saving there's no given." But Mulcahy's diplomatic stance did not soothe everyone who attended the session. Some residents complained that the parkway only would worsen an already existing traffic glut around the Riverfront Plaza. Mark Bernstein, of Lawrence, said the parkway would not be an effective part of the proposed circumferential loop if it brought traffic from Kansas Highway 10 directly to the downtown area. "Do you want to funnel traffic into downtown, or do you want to make traffic flow easier?" said Bernstein, who is a Lawrence City Commission candidate.
