Few local lawyers advertising
By JEFF KIOUS Staff Reporter
Most Lawrence lawyers are not ad- marketing their services despite the fact that they can, according to James Salyer of the Douglas County Bar Association.
The Kansas Supreme Court in February 1979 amended the Code of Professional Ethics to allow lawyers to advertise their services under a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1977.
But Kansas lawyers have not taken full advantage of the opportunity, according to Marcia Poell, public relations director for the Kansas Bar Association.
"Most lawyers feel like it wouldn't pay off to advertise," she said, "or they won't advertise because they're not used to the idea."
She said the code provided that Kansas lawyers could advertise in print, radio and television. Kansas is one of 30 states that allows lawyers to advertisement.
IN PRINT advertising, for example, a lawyer may advertise 25 points such as fees.
field of speciality, the law school he attended and which credit cards he accepts.

"Many lawyers feel that advertising might debase the profession," he said, "or that the advertising might get out of hand.
In Lawrence, lawyers are reluctant to advertise because they are not sure how to market their services. Salyer said.
"The lawyers may be afraid that advertising will lead to such things as discounts on divorces or neon signs."
"Even though advertising has been allowed for more than a year," he said. "It's hard to get lawyers who have practiced 30 or 40 years to change their waws."
Salver said many lawyers were "sitting back" to see whether other lawyers would advertise.
Charles Stough, a Lawrence lawyer who has practiced law for 42 years, said that although he has no advertising other than a newsletter, he is now also a lawyer to lawyers who advertised their services.
STOUGH SAID he thought that it was fine that lawyers advertised their fields of
specialty but that he objected to advertising of things such as cut-rates or discounts.
Another lawyer, Michael Nichols, said he favored lawyers advertising their specialties, but not their fees.
"I don't think it is good the client that a 'i be advertised he'd, said," the advertised fee may be different than the real cost of the content comes in and the facts are determined."
Lawyer David Berkowitz said that the advertising of fees could lead to such things as "price wars" or cut-rate sales.
"It may be deceptive for a person to get a lawyer based on the fee alone," he said. "Because the advertised fee limits the client, the client will only get his pay for."
Berkwitz said his business had increased during the last year because of a display advertisement that he placed in the yellow pages.
"I've had such good success with the ad, that I might expand my advertising when I move into my new office," he said.
Lack of time forces Salter to resign
The Bendover coalition, which ran a candidate for student body president and vice president on an election platform on Thursday, reached a breakneck point this week.
Unsuccessful Bendover presidential candidate Tim Salter, who was elected on Monday to serve as Chair of Auditing Committee last month, resigned this week. Salter said class and time constraints prevented him from voting.
"Senate doesn't have any power, so it doesn't matter whether I do anything," Sailer said. "Stirring up trouble was fine, but that kind of energy and it didn't change anyone anyway."
Salter, a teaching assistant in the department of geology, said he planned to attend regular Senate meetings until the end of the semester.
Greg Schmacke, student body president,
the university's resignation would not disrupt the operations of the executive committee. Committee, but it would have been advantageous for a graduate student to have an office in the school.
"It ito bad Salter didn't stay with it," Schnacke said. "He had some good ideas.

"I don't think I would have to resign from Senate if I was elected because before anything became critical, Senate would be in shamples," Salter ioked.
"No, I really don't know what I would have done."
Salter was the only graduate student elected as a chairman in at least two years. He said he was unaware of the committee's role, but he ran for the committee chairmanship.
He was busy and he hasn't been doing a lot anyway, so we have had everything under control. It is no big strain."
"I'm very professionally oriented right now and Senate is so insignificant that if it has any effect on my studies I would have to give it up." Salter said.

Tuition would pay for foreign study
University of Kansas students selected to participate in an International Student Exchange Program will get a chance to travel internationally for no money if more than it costs to go to KU.
The ISEP, developed and administered by Georgetown University under a grant from the National Science Foundation, operates on the basis of one-to-one student exchanges between participating institutions.
Exchange students will pay KU tuition, fees and room and board (a residence hall contract) for the academic year. The same services will have been paid for by their counterpart at the foreign institution; the students will then exchange places.
The only other cost to the student will be transportation and personal expenses for the year.
Students who want to apply for the exchange program must have a 3.0 GPA and demonstrate a proficiency in the exchange country's language.
