TOPEKA — The Senate Ways and Means subcommittee recommended yesterday that $7.5 million more than the amount in Gov. Mike Hayden's proposed 1991 budget be distributed to Board of Regents schools.
The subcommittee reported to the full Senate Ways and Means Committee yesterday on issues in the Regents system.
"It's an absolute minimum of mine that we have $12 million more than the governor recommended," he said.
State Sen. Wint Winst Jr., R-Lawrence, said he would like to see the amount of the subcommittee's recommendation more than doubled.
The recommendations now will be reviewed by subcommittees for each of the Regents schools. The subcommittee should make changes in the recommendations.
budget and would cost $21 million.
The University of Kansas Medical
Center would be allocated $2 million
and KU would receive $3.4 million.
Bogina said Regents members testified earlier that they were willing to accept the reductions.
Accepting Hayden's proposal not to make salary and wage shrinkage adjustments in fiscal year 1990. State Sen, Gus Bogina, R-Shawnee, said he did not believe freezing the shrinkage rates at their 1989 level was fair because it did not distribute funds evenly among the schools.
The subcommittee recommended:
A 2.5-percent merit increase and a 1.5 percent cost-of-living increase for classified salaries. KU would receive $1.24 million, and the Med Center would receive $2.45 million of the $6.7 million to be allocated.
"This is just a way to reduce the budget by approximately 84 million."
- Increasing the salaries of unclassified employees by 4 percent. The Regents requested a 5 percent increase. The recommendation would agree with Hayden's proposed
Releasing $1.6 million in general funds in fiscal year 1990. The subcommittee report said the amount was a reflection of current policy, which is to release 75 percent of revenue generated by higher-than-expected enrollment in 1989. The University of Kansas would receive $331,716.
- Allocating $7.5 million for student salaries, $128,658 more than the governor's recommendation. KU would receive $38,394, whereas the Med Center would lose $318. The Kansas Career Work Study Program would receive $10,517 less than the governor recommended. KU would receive $133,480 for the program. Graduate teaching assistant fee waivers would remain at 75 percent for fiscal year 1991.
- Full financing of the requested enrollment adjustment for fiscal 1991 and an additional $4.1 million in general fund support.
Education is important in'90s Meyers says U.S. education hurts ability to compete globaly

She then turned to challenges that the federal government would face in the 1990s.
TOPEKA — U.S. Representative Jan Meyers told a joint session of the Kansas Legislature yesterday that the KU basketball team would eat the Missouri Tigers for lunch in tonight's game.

"We are entering a new decade, the last of the 20th century," she said. "The challenges that we must meet if we are to continue our leadership will be most urgent and demanding in the areas of education, environment and trade."
Meyers said education was the most important issue facing the United States.
The goals are increasing high school graduation rates to 90 percent, eliminating adult illiteracy, and "making U.S. students first in the world in math and science achievement."
"An America 20 percent illiterate will be unable to compete and unable to lead in the 21st century's global economy" she said.
She said President Bush established three goals for U.S. education.
The dropout rate is 50 percent in some areas of the country, Meyers said. The literacy rate is 80 percent in the United States, compared to 99 percent in Japan, U.S. students rank last in the world in math and science achievement, according to some studies.
Meyers said the president had proposed a $500 million
But State Rep. Betty Jo Charlton, D-Lawrence, said the increases were minuscule.
increase in the Chapter 1 basic skills program, the nation's largest education program. She said he also proposed increasing other education programs by a total of $206 million.
increases were immediate.
"We already knew we didn't have an education governor," she said. "Well, now we know we don't have an education president, either."
The United States must take action on environmental issues if the country is to remain a world leader, Meyers said.
"Cleaning up our global environment is a major challenge that the United States will be called upon to meet, not only for our benefit, but as a part of a larger global commitment," she said.
Meyers said it was imperative for the nation to eliminate the trade deficit. A trade deficit of zero was being projected for 1993. It would not be a true zero, she said.
"If we extend Gramm-Rudman — or enact a similar mechanism — for three more years, we can also phase off-budget the Social Security trust deficit and reduce the deficit," she said. "Then we will arrive at a true zero deficit by 1996."
Meyers said the nation must maintain a free trade policy while pressuring nations that close their markets to U.S. trade.
The United States also must stay at the head of the world's technological development, she said.
