KAAC leader Dr. Leon Hazen outlined optional funding ideas including a 64 hour limit plan and county levy taxes, while NCCJC President Dr. J C Sanders noted unequal state support versus state colleges. Tuition inertia among six southeast Kansas colleges may rise to match rates, and nursing program attrition prompts call for stricter screening though all 1976 summer graduates passed boards.
