Professors, Students Work on Film About State Legislative Activities
By DAVID H. BURPEE
Kansan Staff Reporter
A film about the Kansas Legislature is being produced by University of Kansas students and professors from the radio-TV film department.
The film is being produced to aid civic groups and schools in learning about state government, Peter Dart, professor of journalism and radio-TV film, and said
the film, Dart said, will include the subject of job responsibilities of important legislative offices, the flow of bills and information within the legislature, the technical services available to each legislator and the functions of a legislator's staff.
Bruce Linton, professor of journalism and director of the radio-TV-film department, told reporters that he had started last fall. The film was to have been made for the state legislative coordinating council, he said, but tax money couldn't be spent because no specific bill authorized the
Darl said that many legislators and the
University still wanted to make the film, so a search was made for nontax movie. The Kansas Endowment Association donated $50,000 that would be beneficial to the people of Kansas.
"The $14,000 grant is the largest budget in dollars-a-minute that the radio-TV-film industry can afford."
"The film's staff has a feeling of considerable responsibility to the University, the legislature and the people of Kansas to produce a representative film."
Student participation in making the film is an important part of the project, according to Dart. There are approximately 12 students involved, he said, who work as cameramen, assistant cameramen and sound men.
Curt Garner, Ankeny, Iowa, senior, said learning about film work was important, but it was also interesting to learn about the history of lobbyists and legislative committees.
Garner said he had encountered lighting and sound problems in large rooms, but even the problems were an important part of the educational experience.
According to Dart, the main problem has been filming accurate representations of things that happen spontaneously. Filming an event so it wouldn't look stage was a challenge for many filmmakers. The tendency people have to lose spontaneity when a camera is turned toward them.
Both Dart and Linton said that the legislators were very cooperative. The legislators showed their cooperation, they gave us an answer, they told us that were normally closed to the public.
The completed film will be 14 minutes long and we include color, narration, music and sound effects.
Dart said that about five months would be needed to complete filming, writing and recording the narration, editing the app and running the film of film and mixing the sound with the film.
Lawrence landlords were instrumental in killing two bills in the Kansas Legislature that would have improved tenants' rights, but lawmakers failed to pass a $1.25 million implant Center representative, last week.
Hutton, speaking at a tenants rights forum sponsored by the Consumer Protection Agency, said that "some really nasty things" were said about Lawrence tenants by representatives of the Apartments owners Association of Lawrence and Topeka.
Hutton said they displayed pictures of a tilting over and said, "this is what happens when you don't."
"Though the law was specific, the landlords' lawyers argue against the bill said that it could be used to force them to change the color of wall paint, if the tenant so desired. This couldn't have happened," said Linda Triplett, CPA director.
Hutton and Dina Pennington, VISTA volunteers, told the audience of ten students the bills would have provided for enforcement of minimum health standards, limited security deposits, and reductions in rent for minor repairs by the tenant.
The deadline for completing the film was Aug. 31.

One source, the magazine said, reported that the prosecutors felt the evidence was "strong enough to enmesh the President as a knowing party to the coverup."
The indictment indicated that the grand jury, which had access to White House tapes, accepted Dean's version of key events in the alleged cover-up and conspiracy, a version that says Nixon was more involved than he has so far admitted.
