Inflation hinders KU budget
By John Collar
Kansan staff writer
TOPEKA — Chancellor Robert Hemenway said yesterday that his two priorities for University of Kansas' budget during this legislative session were increasing the University's salaries and its operating budget.
Hemenway's remarks came after he discussed the University's budget during a Senate subcommittee meeting.
For fiscal year 1997, which begins July 1, the Board of Regents had requested a 2 percent increase in the operating budget, which pays for the day-to-day expenses of the University. The Regents also had requested an 8 percent increase for libraries. However, Gov. Bill Graves recommended that next year's operating budget
remain the same as this year's.

Hemenway said that when the current inflation rate of about 3 percent was figured in, the governor's recommendation was not good for KU.
"Because there is no increase, in effect our budget has been cut 3 percent," Hemenway said. "The increase in library acquisition costs is frequently double digits."
On the subject of salaries, Hemenway told the committee that the classified employees were concerned about the lack of a cost-of-living adjustment.
The governor's budget includes a 2.5 percent salary increase for faculty and administrators, but defers this increase for six months. Other University staff members would receive an increase on the step system, which is the state pay scale.
Hemenway said that even though the governor's budget was austere, the small amount of growth had been distributed equitably to all state agencies.
State Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, said that the governor's budget was lean.
"A strict budget sometimes means that you don't always get to do what you really want to do," Ballard said. "We do need to live within our means."
Ballard, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said the University's budget should survive without any additional cuts.

Those are the goals of a satellite video conference that the School of Social Welfare is sponsoring this week at the University of Kansas. The conference will explore the problem of violence and examine measures communities are taking to stop it, said Sadye Logan, associate professor of social welfare and organizer of the event. The conference also will work to get people to see violence on a more global scale, she said.
"People need to see violence in terms not only of the individual," Logan said.
Stop violence. Promote development.
The University is one of two dozen locations for the video conference, Social Workers and the Challenge of Violence Worldwide, held this week as part of a national teach-in on the causes and solutions to violence. Broadcast journalist Charles Kuralt will host the conference
Conference to attack violence

"The motivation to stop violence must come from the grassroots level," Logan said.
One participant in the teach-in is the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. Rachel Lee, Lawrence graduate student and coordinator of the sexual assault and preventative education program at the center, said the center had a community focus centered around education and the prevention of situations that could lead to violence.
"We help people see it not only as an issue that affects them but one that affects their friends and families," she said.
Stop the violence
When: tomorrow at 1:30 p.m.
Where: KU, Computer Center auditorium; Regents Center, Room 210
Headquarters Counseling Center, 1419 Massachusetts St., also is participating. Marcia Epstein, director of the center, said she could see the benefits people got from sharing their experiences in dealing with violence.
"There are lots of similarities despite cultural differences," Epstein said.
On the Lawrence campus, people can participate in the conference's second video discussion at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Computer Center auditorium. Students at the Regents Center can view it in Room 210.
Logan said participants would discuss action people are taking to stop violence in their own communities.

"It's a much broader phenomenon," she said.
Logan said the conference would explore violence globally, exploring issues such as genocide, war, police brutality and hunger.
