Senate will budget fees
Hearings determine groups' allotments
By Michael Christie
Kansan staff writer
The KU Student Senate Finance Committee will begin budget hearings tomorrow to determine how much money be spent during the next two years.
According to the University of Kansas Student Senate Rules and Regulations, a full-time KU student now pays $28-a-semester for a student activity fee. Part-time students pay by credit hour.
Concert financing bill sent to Senate for final approval
At the hearings, leaders from the groups address the finance committee and the Student Senate Executive Committee.
Every two years Senate allocates money to various campus groups, said Carl Damon, Senate treasurer. The budget hearings determine which groups will receive money and how much they will receive. The money allocated comes from the student activity fee.
The leaders present their groups' cases and try to prove they deserve to be financed by Senate, Damon said.
This year 19 groups are requesting money, he said. All the groups租房, making two years a budget.
Before addressing the committees, each group must fill out forms that state the purpose served by the group, expenses from the past year, a budget for the next two years and other sources of financing.
Groups that prove they deserve financing then go before the finance committee, which votes to approve the budget of each group.
By senate regulations, the commit-
The Student Senate Finance Committee voted last night to send a bill to Senate which would allocate $4,000 to help lower the cost of tickets for a Branford tentatively planned for Feb. 11.
Kansan staff report
By Senate rules, any request for financing must first go through the finance committee for a vote. The committee approved the request unanimously, but voted 13-5 to stay neutral on it. The committee can favor a bill, oppose it or stav neutral.
Two conditions were requested by several members of the committee. First, that a good-faith effort be made by Student Union leaders to recruit a maker senator, to reserve 2,000 tickets for students. Second, that
the information about whether the tickets can be reserved for students be provided by the next Senate meeting, Hoch Auditorium, where the concert will be held, seats 3.000.
Tii Mu Guire, SUA representative, said that with this allocation, the concert tickets probably would be priced at $12.
In other action, the committee voted to table two other bills. A request for $5,115 to pay for day care for residents of Stouffor and to be reworked, said Craig Fulton, committee chairperson.
The other bill tabled called for the redesignation of student activity fees to the University Daily Kansas. The Kansan is currently allocated approximately $112,000 a year from Senate.
tee has the power to amend budgets. Each group's budget must be approved by Senate before money can be allocated.
According to Senate documents, requests from the budgets exceed Senate's operating budget by $450 million from all groups total $1,388,186.
requested was not more than the operating budget, this would not guarantee the committee's recommendation that Senate approve the requests. The groups must show a call all the money they are requesting.
Craig Fulton, chairperson of the committee, said that about $150,000 would have to be denied. Senate will consider the allegations and allocate allocations during the two years.
Tomorrow, four groups are scheduled to go before the finance committee. They are the Chamber and Concert Music Series, the University Company, Graduate Student Council and Rape Victim Support Services.
Groups stage abortion rallies
Damon said that even if the money

TOPEKA- Two groups on opposite sides of the abortion issue met by coincidence at the capitale yesterday to commemorate the 18th anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision and to attempt to swag legislative votes.
About 40 members of the Kansas Choice Alliance gave bells to legislators and asked them to ring a bell for freedom, and about 40 Kansas Right To Life members handed out roses which represented unborn children.
The demonstrations were peaceful until the Kansas Choice Alliance had a news conference in the second-floor of the convention center, displaying was responsible for the
commotion.
Maryann Grelinger, board member of the Kansas City, Kan., chapter of Right to Life, said she was upset about treatment by security guards concerning signs that her organization had displayed earlier in the day.
"We were told by security that we would have to turn the signs around." she said. "They didn't want us to cause a riot.
"We were outraged that they got to display their sign and we didn't get to display ours."
Grelinger said she and members of her organization asked security guards to remove Kansas Choice Alliance's sien.
quietly requested that the sign come down during the news conference, which addressed the future freedom for abortions in Kansas.
Greinger said that Right to Life was going to try to change the law, starting with requiring parental notification.
Security guards showed up and
"We simply want to allow parents to know what is happening surgically to their children before it happens, not after it happens," she said.
Gulf war clouds predictions for U.S. economy
By Patricia Rojas Kansan staff writer
But Clifford said the war had made the economic future uncertain.
Norman Clifford, research associate at KU's Institute for Public Policy and Business Research, predicted a month later that the economy would experience a relatively short and mild recession.
The outbreak of war in the Persian Gulf has made the U.S. economy more difficult to pre-ure a KU research associate said.
- Imported oil prices would decline gradually throughout the year.
His original conclusions, released this month, were based on the following assumptions:
The foreign exchange value of the dollar would fall.
The Federal Reserve Board would hold short-term rates virtually constant.
There would be some increases in personal income taxes and some decreases in medical benefits and veterans' benefits.
U. S. exports would be the main strength of the economy in 1991. They would grow 4.7 percent
Provided the conditions mentioned above were maintained, Clifford concluded, among other things, the following:
Consumer spending on services would increase by 3.1 percent.
The weakest sector of the economy would be residential investment, with an expected fall of 7 percent.
Unemployment would reach 6.7 percent.
Clifford said that historically, it had been the case that war had stimulated industrial production.
"In this case, I'm not sure that we're going to see that effect very early on because a lot of what we're using to fight the war has already been produced." he said.
Mohamed EHodi, director of KU's Institute for Economic and Business Research, said that research more optimistic than Clifford
El Hodiri said there would be a short recession, but the economic climate would pick up by fall.
