school in 1983 and then earned an MBA there a year later. His father, John C. Dicus, a former Capitol Federal chairman, earned his degree from KU’s business school in 1955. The four-story, $65.7 million Please see CAPITOL, page 5A

Topeka — Incoming freshmen at Kansas University would pay 3.4 percent more in tuition and fees than the last freshman class, under a proposal unveiled Wednesday. That would mean a resident freshman arriving in the fall will pay $5,224 per semester, which is $170 more than the last freshman class. An out-of-state freshman would pay $12,437, which is $429 more than the last out-of-state freshman Gray-Little class. At KU, freshmen enter a compact, meaning that they will have the same tuition rate for four years. Because of this compact system, twothirds of returning KU undergraduates will have no tuition increase. “Our goal is to balance the strong desire to maintain access with the equally strong need to ensure that the education students receive at KU prepares them for successful lives and careers,” said KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little.
