More Issues Than Eggs at C of C
By BOB MARCOTTE Kansas Staff Reporter
The unusually large number of issues now before the Kansas Legislature was reflected in the wide range of topics discussed Saturday at the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce's "Eggs and Issues" breakfast with three Lawrence state legislators.
Workman's compensation, public campaign financing, disclosure of campaign expenditures, and the powers of the legislature were among several issues discussed by Sen. Arden Booth, Republican, Rep. Michael Glover, Democrat, and Rep. John Vogel,
About 180 persons attended.
BOOTH SAID PASSAGE of the workman's compensation bill now being studied in the house would depend to a large extent on whether he is considered as a "compensable personal injury."
Industry representatives, he said, had made many concessions on the bill with the understanding that the definition remain the same. "I understand all, he said, the bill probably won't pass.
Chances for the passage of the bill would be further enhanced, Booth said, if a limitation exempting small employers who make $100,000 in total wages were placed in the bill.
The bill would increase weekly benefits from 156 to about $90. This would mean about a 25 per cent increase in cost to the employer. The employer would not tax money would be involved, be added.
"We'VE GOT ELEMENTS in this bill
that are totally unsatisfactory to industry,
totally unsatisfactory to labor, totally unsatisfactory to trial lawyers and totally unsatisfactory to the insurance people," he said, "so maybe we've got a pretty good bill—it gives us something to work on."
Booth said he was "completely and unalterably opposed to public campaign financing in any form at all. It will have a negative effect that its proposers want."
Who he fears most about such a measure, Beoth said, is that people will think their political consciences and duties can be put to rest simply because of the donations they have made when filling out their tax forms.
Glover said that in order to have a legislature of common people it is necessary to pay its members sufficiently while they're in session.
As it now stands, he said, "you've got to be either independently wealthy or indebted."
Glover said he was against any attempt to reduce the number of representatives in the house because it would increase the constituency of each representative.
Representatives need to be able to explain their work on an individual basis, he said, to "reverse damage possibly done by the media."
Booth said earlier that about the only way a reorganization bill limiting house membership to 80 would get favorable approval was for her members were inserted saying the extra members
OF A BILL REQUIRING disclosure of campaign finances by candidates for state office, booth said it appeared likely that the governor may have made 15 days to five prizes prior to the election.
public knowledge, Booth said complaints filed with an elections ethics commission should be confidential until legal action is actually taken and "not used as a tool to destroy the credibility of a candidate with an unfounded complaint."
Booth said he would also bold firmly to his belief that the answer to campaign abuses lies not in the limitation of funds but in the disclosure of their use.

Bubb said then that the "permissiveness" of former Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr., resulted in reduced legislative support for the University and that Dykes' presence on the campus had changed the situation.
Dykes...
He says he no longer think of KU as "a powder key ready to explode."
Bubb says Dykes' contacts with state officials and with the people of Kansas have favorably changed peoples' thinking about KU.
Even though campaign finances should be

The chancellor also stresses non-teaching services and information to be administered by the University, Nichols says. Dykes 'succeeds during his first six months has prompted Max Bickford, executive secretary of the regents, to predict: "Chancellor Dykes will go down as one of the great chancellors."

"I think he has done a splendid job," Balfour says.
"You might consider baking them in a cake."
He says Dykes' efforts at long range planning to soften the blow of a predicted decreasing enrollment have been beneficial to the University.

Ballour isn't as critical of Chalmer's Babb is and says the issues facing the University are different now than when Chalmer was chancellor.

Ambrose Saricks, vice chancellor for academic affairs, agrees that Chalmers faced different problems than those Dykes faces.
"I THINK ANY institution that has 'i' declined in public esteem has this "I" in the name. Must state university's have had bad students decline in public esteem and less importance attached to their contributions." Dykes' goal when he came to KU was to lead a university that "is more respectful of public esteem."
He says that although Dykes is deeply concerned with internal University problems, he works harder than Chalmers did on external matters, such as pushing forward KU's reputation and improving its budget.
"I think my goal then and now is to help the University be more fully what it is capable of helping the University be a university of the frontier for our students with the best quality education possible and to render the service to the people of Kansas," Dykes says.
