Campaign Kansas is nearing goal
by Scott Achelpohl Kansan staff writer
Donations for scholarships and endowed professorships are leading the contributions to the Campaign Kansas coffers.
Donors, and not the Kansas University Endowment Association, determine where contributions will go, said John Scarffe, director of public relations at the Endowment Association.
Campaign Kansas is the University's five-year $150 million fund raising drive. A total of $100.5 million, or 82%, of the goal already has been raised.
According to figures provided by the Endowment Association, included in the $10.5 million committed thus far, the campaign has raised $18.5 million for undergraduate scholarships, graduate student fellowships and awards. Endowed academic support, including professorships, has received $14.6 million For university education benefits, $3.2 million for donations. Donations to campus museum have been $2.3 million and $12 million has been donated to the unrestricted use category of the campaign.
At the beginning of the campaign.
goals for individual areas were broken down in the following ways: $22 million for KU faculty; $23 million for KU students; $6 million for KU libraries; $6 million for KU museums; $11 million for program enhancements; $19.5 million for Lawrence campus construction and improvements; $14 million for University Medical Center campus construction and improvements; $14 million for equipment and $39.5 million for unrestricted use.
"We tend to find people that are interested in donating to scholarships and student aid," said Jack Siekfas, senior campaign counsel for Campaign Kansas.
Sietkas said that when the campaign solicited donations, it tended to look at areas people have donated to in the past. Library donations is one of the areas that is difficult for the campaign to find support for, he said.
"Corporations, for example, tend to commit support to libraries within colleges that support a particular area of business," said Jeffrey McInerney,应用, such as Watson Library, tend to be the last considered, he said.

Search received her bachelor's degree from KU in 1926 and lived in Lovington, N.M., from 1935 until her death in 1984.
■ The third donation, $300,000 has been made from the estate of Maurice Crook, who earned his doctorate at age 84 from KU. With the donation, his wife has established a charitable remainder trust.

BALTIMORE — Members of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra return to the concert hall this week after ratifying a contract that assures a minimum $1,040 a week in the 1991-1992 season and closes the longest stretch in American symphony history.
By the end of the four-year, $4.6 million contract, players will earn 35 percent more than the $70 weekly minimum they received at the end of the three-year pact that expired in September. Unlike many orchestras, the musicians in the Baltimore Symphony are paid for a 52-week year.
The contract was approved late Saturday by a vote of 78-7.
"We think it's an excellent settlement and it meets the players' needs for parity with the orchestras of St. Louis and Cincinnati," said Charles Underwood, the playwright. He referred to the musicians' demand that their wages be on a par with those of orchestras they consider peers.
The new agreement, reached after a 22-week walkout, was agreed to after an all-day negotiating session an Thursday and approved Friday by members of the BSO board. After 84 canceled concerts, the orchestra will return to its home at Meyerhoff Hall for a performance Thursday.
"Hopefully, we'll be able to face the future and become a better and deeper institution," said John Gidwitz, the orchestra's executive director. "We will work so that this will never happen again."
The $4.6 million cost of the contract is "in line with the financial plan of the orchestra" and will be paid for by "very ambitious fund-raising," he said.
said, "Ticket prices may go up modestly, but we do not anticipate dramatic rises," he said.
Horn player Peter Landgren said he had lost $20,000 during the strike but said it was worth every penny "because we have the satisfaction of knowing that we had to be dealt with and that we were not manipulated."
Raging bull
Hoping a spotlight will stop a loose bull on the northeast side of Haskell Indian Junior College, Lawrence police try to keep him from returning to 23rd Street. Police cornered the bull at the dead end of
22nd and Pennsylvania streets after about an hour. Police said the bull must have jumped out of the back of a truck on the way to market about 11:30 a.m. Saturday.
