Money requested by agencies exceeds expected revenue
Assoclated Press
FRANKFORT, Ky. —- Requests
for funding that far exceed projected
state revenue for the next two years
represent a typical situation, said
Sen. Michael R. Moloney, chair-
man of the Senate Appropriations
and Revenue Committee.
“We’ve had the same thing for 10
years, " said Moloney, a Lexington
Democrat. “The requests call for
much more than available revenue.
So yes, the requests have become
known as wish lists."
But Moloney added: “I believe
the requests are better described as
being needs lists. The agencies can
make a very strong case for most of
what they request."
The state agencies' “wish lists”
exceed projected General Fund col-
lections by ntore than $1 billion
during the two-year period.
The budget requests submitted so
far seek more than $4.15 billion
from the General Fund in the 1990-
()l fiscal year, when state taxes and
lottery revenue are expected to raise
about $3.74 billion a difference
of ntorc than $410 llllllltin. The
difference between the requests and
anticipated revenue in the 1991-92
fiscal year is more than $600 mil«
lion.
The requests are submitted to
Gov. Wallace Wilkinson, who will
review them along with his budget
office in preparing the govcmor’s
1990-92 budget to be submitted to
the legislature in January.
Some of the agency‘s requests
seek to provide quality education,
adequate health and welfare pro-
grams, three more state prisons to
handle a burgeoning inmate popula»
tion and incentives for some big
corporate citizens.
Moloney said federal mandates
will require sharp funding increases
for Medicade and welfare reform,
and courts orders capping popula-
tions at state prisons and county
jails will require a large increase for
the Corrections Cabinet budget.
Promised incentives to three lead-
ing state employers will force the
Economic Development Cabinet
budget to grow sharply.
And the governor had made some

ment bond l.\\'ll.“~. enhanced pro-

Beyond those priorities and man—

Rape should result in
expulsion, student says
By KAKIE URCH
Senior Staff Write
UK psychology senior Mimi ()k-
azaki wants the University to expel
any UK student convicted of rape.
()kazaki, who is a member of the
Campus Rape Awareness and Sexu
al Harassment Council, and is a re-
cently appointed student member of
the committee which oversees .evi—
sions to the UK Code of Student
Conduct, said the student code
should be changed to "get iSlUtlc‘an
convicted of rape) out of school and
let them know that what they did is
rtot acceptable,"
Okazaki said she plans to pro«
pose the change at the next meeting
of the Student Code Committee,
But she said she does rtot know
when the committee meets next.
“It's been in the planning even
before the (recent) rape (complaint
on campus) happened,” Okazaki
said.
Okazakt said many students sup
port the change irt the code.
“There's a lot of people who are
pretty upset but then again
some of the other people were like
‘Who cares?‘.” she said. “There's a
big general tendency to blame the
(rape) victim "
()ka/aki said she became iri-
volved in the issue following at. al»
legcd rape incident at Kentucky
State University last fall.
“It all started with the K State
case,’ she said. “I was arguing with
some people in a social psychology
class, and the professor told rrte that
Dr. Chris O'Sullivan was really in-
volved in this m her research spc‘
cialization is campus gang rape."
Okazaki and O’Sullivan, a fonttcr
UK psychology professor who now
teaches at Bucknell University,
worked on the code change proposal
last January in conjunction with
their work with CRASH.
They used Rape on Campus:
What Colleges Can Do as a refer—
once.
“The more research we did, the
more pissed off we got about how
schools handle this," Okazaki said.
“There’ve been a lot of changes be—
cause schools arc realizing this is a
national issue. But it seems they
only changed when they had to —~
when there were a lot of publicized
cases"
Okazaki said that at the Universi—
“It‘s been in the planning
even before the trecenti
rape (complaint on
campus) happened."

ty of Califomia at Berkley. three
men were charged with raping a
woriian in 1086. but the (.Talilorrtra
attorney general refused to prose-
cute the case because or lack tifCH-
dcnce.
The university adjudicated the
case and gave the men ”something
like 40 hours ol contmuntty ser»
vice." as a punishment, she said.
"The tUC~Berk|eyi community
was outraged." Oka/aki said.
As a result of protests about the
issue. Berkley"s \[llthnl code was
amended to make punishment for
rape cases more stringent.
The change to make rape punish-
able by expulsion at UK would be,
a major effort because UK‘s Code
of Student Conduct does not attach
a particular punishrrtcrit to any in-
fraction.
0ka/1ikt said it Will be difficult
to all‘cct the change. but she said
that .she is tlcterittiited to press
ahead with it.
“People are not going to walk
from it," she said.
Dean of Students Doug Wilson
said UK students have been sus-
pended or dismissed for various of-
fenses. About 70 disciplinary cases
are adjudicated each year by the.
Dean of Students Office. but Wila
sort said he did rtot know how
many of the cases result in suspen»
sion or dtsrttissal.
The number of suspensions and
distttrssals at [K \arics “from year
to year," Wilson said. ‘livery year
is a little drll‘crcrtt. Sometimes
there are group actions that would
involve a group admonition.”
UK News Bureau Director Ralph
Derickson said last week that the
University would not force the stu—
dents involved in the alleged rape at
Haggin Hall two weeks ago to
withdraw from the University.
“His implication is that we have
considerable due process under the
code,” Wilson said. “In the interim
period they’re certainly eligible to
continue in school."

Elementary and secondary educa-
tion consumes about half of all
General Fund revenue, The Kert~
tucky Supreme Court‘s June order
declaring the current school system
unconstitutional prompted legisla-
tive leaders and the governor to
create a task force to redesign the
system — a system that’s expected
to require significantly more mon-
cy.
Here are some of the top priori-
ties and mandatory additional appro-
priations sought by the major agen-

President Thomas Meridith will
take higher education‘s case for
increased funding to Frankfort
today when he meets with legis-
lators.
Meridith will speak on behalf
of the state Conference on Pres-
idents to make sure higher edu-
cation isn’t overlooked when
the legislature overhauls the
state’s elementary and secondary
education system next year.
Meridith said university presi-
dents have developed several
suggestions to remind lawmak-
ers of higher education’s finan—
cial needs.
"We work in a clOse partner-
ship with the. General Assembly
to make sure they have all the
information they need and want

dith said.
Other higher—education advo-
cates also are working to remind
lawmakers of their needs as the

serribly approaches.
Students on many Kentucky
campuses have begun Vtrlllllg

ordinator for govemmental rcla~
tions {or the state Board of Stu~

Elder, a UK junior from t.) x

be on writing personal rather
than form letters. Students will
also be encouraged to sin!
