Regents budget advances in Senate 94
Kansas Senate slated final approval on a 2.5 percent raise for Kansas University employees and a record 1 046 billion appropriation for KU and the Regents system. The budget would give the regents 432 million from the general fund next year, seven million less than the governor's request but fifteen million more than this year. Senator Sandy Praeger urged protecting funding, while Senator Todd Tiahrt warned of future cuts tied to a weakening economy. KU Chancellor Gene Budig commented as the Regents story continued on page 9A.

February building permits show seasonal pace in Douglas County
Douglas County construction activity remained seasonal in February with total permits valued at 3 659 714 dollars, near January’s 3 748 657 but far below February 1992’s 7 026 281. City inspector Gene Shaughnessy calls the 1992 total an aberration as mild winter weather boosted earlier housing construction and a record February for single family homes.
