MARGIN Continued from p. 1 receive a 4 percent budget increase to maintain its current operating level But Stanley Koplik, executive director of the Regents, said the modest increase would be offset by a reduction in the budget base, which is the amount of money budgeted without Margin increases. "If it's not funded, it will certainly stall the very positive progress over the last two years." Winter said. NATURAL WAY Natural Fiber Clothing and Body Care 820-822 Mass. St. Downtown 841-0100 State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, said the loss of the Margin would determine whether Kansas had first class institutions. Bill Moseley, vice president of the Associated Students of Kansas, said that KU would simply continue to operate at its current level but that it couldn't support the quality faculty and technical research facilities to be competitive with its peer schools. Mosely said ASK was meeting "We're not getting a quality education, that's where the student should be concerned," Moseley said. "As far as students, I don't see why we're paying more." Saturday in Topeka to plan lobbying strategies. Although Winter opposed Hayden's decision, he and other officials weren't surprised, considering the uprear about resuppraisal and reclassification, which meant higher taxes for many. "It's one thing to postpone the Margin of Excellence . . . but the Kopilk was concerned that the state's financial status wouldn't improve for fiscal year 1992, and the Margin would be postponed again. "Obviously it's shaping up as a difficult year as far as resources," Konik said. Of his $85.9 million in state spending cuts, Hayden proposed using $30.8 million for property tax relief for angry homeowners and small businessmen. And with the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services cutting its programs to make up for a $34 million budget shortfall, Hayden found it difficult to support the Margin in light of the state's financial restraints. question is, in putting it off, can we realistically achieve it next year?" Kopfik said. "You get concerned for putting off a program in the future." Winter said legislators still would have their crack at the budget. Lindy Eakin, KU budget director, said his office would have to wait for the final outcome. He said Izekov's finance only half of the proposed Margin budget last year, but in the end, the Regents received full financing. As a co-sponsor with State Sen. Richard L. Bond, R-Overland Park, Winter has proposed a bill that would raise the tax on a pack of cigarettes by 5 cents and by 5 percent on other tobacco products to finance the Margin. But Winter said the bill would not solve the problem. Bond has estimated the bill will only generate $12 million. At this point, we will proceed as if the governor's recommendation is not the final reality. Eakin said. "We will have our way with it," he said. "They're (Regents universities) worth fighting for."
