Committee approves self-help amendment
A House committee yesterday approved a revised self-held amendment to the Landlord-Tenant Act, which bill's biller's Lawrence will be "more saleable on the floor of the House."
7
The proposal, introduced last year by the three State Rep. groups, would represent what would give tenants with negligent landlords a quick and affordable legal means of getting repairs
The revised bill was approved 10-6.
The bill had been approved by the House Judiciary Committee last month, but was referred back to committee because of a budget amendment during the committee's first action.
The committee yesterday made several revisions to the bill, including one that limits the cases covered by the amendment to threaten the health and safety of tenants.
ANOTHER CHANGE requires the tenant to present the landlord with a written estimate of needed repairs before the work is done.
"It's more restrictive now," Solbach said.
"But that should help it pass. It has passed the first step for the second time. We'll take anything we can get."
"Maybe if we're going to get this type of remedy into the Landlord-Term Act, we need something more restrictive to start off. And then open it up in the future, we can try to do so."
Solbach said the major obstacle now standing in the way of passage was whether the House majority, which determines
which bills are debated, decides to bring the bill to the House floor.
He said that House Majority Leader Robert Frey, R-Liberal, has expressed opposition to the bill. Frey is a landlord. Mr.librarians have been strongly against the bill.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Joe Hoagland, R-Overland Park, said he planned to propose the bill on the house floor.
If the House does not act on the proposal this session, the bill dies.
"My position is that the existing landlord-tenant act is a well-balanced law," Hoagland said. "I think this bill would tilt it in favor of the tenant."
"We just scored two points," Solbach said. "But the rest of the game depends on whether we can get to the other end of the floor." If the bill will be to the floor of the House.
Solbach said, however, that he was op
timistic about the bill's chances.
TO BE REIMBURSED, the tenant would have to give a receipt for the work, his next rent check and a filing fee to a district court clerk.
Under the bill, a tenant could have repair work done at his own expense if the landlord refused to do it.
"We've got a better shot now because of the revisions," he said. "It's a good solid bill and it's totally defensible."
The clerk would deduct the cost of the repairs -limited to $100 or half the rent, whichever was greater-from the rent and send the remainder to the landlord.
Med Center nurses seek additional funds, positions
Nurses from the University of Kansas have been teaching in Kansas yesterday in the Kansas Legislature for additional faculty positions and funds for a new library. Jeanne Woolsey, Kansas City, Mo.,
State Rep. Bill Buntner, R-Rosville, said, "We are committed to Nursing education from 89 to 125 last year and has recommended increasing it to 150 for next year, but we have recommended that we continue."
The House Ways and Means Committee recommended funds for renovating the old hospital and for only 2.5 faculty positions of the most recently recommended by Gov. John Carlin.
But the School of Nursing already has accepted an entering class of 150 students, according to Doris A. Geltge, dean of the School of Nursing.
She had said that the governor's
recommendation of eight positions was the increase in recount compensation the increase in recount could comment about the Ways and Means Committee recommendations until a bill is passed.
Bunten said the Legislature dealt only with dollar amounts and that if the Med Center wanted more nursing faculty, it could redistribute funds within its budget.
She said the nurses planned to meet with Chancellor Archie R. Dykes and David Waxman, executive vice chancellor for the Center, to discuss acquiring additional center.
Wesley said, "The way Exp. Bunten and Hayden layed, even though they only allocated 2.5 faculty positions, we might be the money from somewhere else in the University."
"I don't think that we have really been defeated," she said. "We have to find some new approaches."
HEADLINES FROM HEADMASTERS
Have you ever gone to have your hair styled only to leave the salon feeling disappointed? You had high hones of emerging with new confidence in your own good looks, brought about by that new hair style . . . but somehow . . . it didn't work. Your hair's too short, not short enough, too flat, too ordinary, too far out, just not you, etc. etc. Or maybe you looked and felt great when you left, only to be frustrated later when you couldn't duplicate what your stylist had done.
These problems can generally be solved by investing more time in communication. You and your stylist must allow time for discussion before any hair is cut. The following guide will help you:
2) . Is there anything I particularly dislike?
3. Will this work well with my hair? Texture, amount of growth patterns and hair density must be taken into account.
4) . What will my hair need to make this style work well? A perm to add body, hillights for sheen, or reconditioning treatments to improve texture may be needed.
5). How do I care for this style? Is it blowed dry? How?
What tools do I need? Does it need curling? How?
6) . How much time will be involved in caring for this style?
8) . Will it fit my personality?
7) . How versatile is it? Can it be changed easily for different looks? How?
9) . Will this style be flattering to my facial structure and general body build?
10) What are your suggestions for alternatives?
Now that you've really talked about it, your style should be able to design a great look you'll be happy with ... and teach you how to care for it between visits. And believe me, when you're happy, we're happy!
Sincerely,
Headmasters

Liquor
While bars generally see a dramatic drop off in business with the raising of the drinking age, liquor stores report sales increases.
From page one
"To me this legislative trend is just an alarming reaction," says Paul Farnsworth of the National reaction. "The white manse and Alcoholism." The lawmakers see the need to try to draw the white knight saving the world.
"THEY THINK that by raising the rate of problem solving it doesn't seem to work that way." The students all contradict each other. Legislators are looking for an easy solution.

Others insist that the higher drinking age has curbed liqueur use among high school students, a major argument of proponents.
A poll of 830 Michigan high school principals showed that 73 percent thought that fewer students were drinking during school hours since the legal age was raised.
About 67 percent said there had been fewer alcohol-related problems at school events, such as basketball games and dances.
"I don't believe you're going to ever keep school away from college students," Terry Baker said. "I have been a Council on Alcoholism's Michigan chapter said. 'But what happens when you raise the drinking age is that the fringe group wins 17, 18 and 15-year-olds can get liquor."
