WAV MALI. 1 i Sport budget lean for Kansas schools Kansas state legislators have expressed doubt that the Kansas Legislature would approve a proposal to supplement the athletic budgets of state schools. Reactions to the proposal varied from cynicism to optimism about its chances for approval by the legislature, according to an article appearing in the Kansan, the University of Kansas student newspaper. The article went on to say the Kansas Board ot Kegents approved a request to the legislature for $770,000 in state assistance for the six state colleges and universities in Kansas. The University of Kansas was to receive $190,000. Henry Bubb, Topeka businessman and a member ot the Regents' Athletic Committee, said that the financial situation of the state schools' athletic departments had become critical. The only alternative to state financial support, he said, would be to end conference competition by the schools. However, Clyde Walker, KU athletic director, said that there was little chance of KU being forced to withdraw from the Big 8. "That would be a last resort, after all else had failed," the Kansan quoted him as saying. Walker confirmed, however, that KU's athletic department was having financial difficulty. He said the program was in poor shape and has been losing money over the past three years.
