Kansas legislators debate speed limit bills
By GENE GEORGE Staff Reporter
The days of the 74mm eneod limit in Kansas
the limit to 65, both dependent on Congress taking action first.
Hamm said he proposed his version of the bill in anticipation that President Reagan was going to leave.
Car? What Car?
Col. David Hornbaker, superintendent of the Kansas Highway Patrol, said that about 62 percent of Kansas drivers were complying with the 55-mlh limit, a drastic increase over 1980.
The "Most Creative Excuse for Speeding Contest," held recently by the Georgia Fraternal Order of Police, revealed some outstanding wrongdoings and excessive pressure. Among the entries:
"I know I'm speeding, but
I'm thinking about buying
this car and I want to see
before close the deal."
The next time you’re mad at your parents, let yourself get angry and show it, says David Johnson, author of *When I Gave Up* (1980, $14.95). “Most of us have been taught that anger shows a lack of love or denotes rejection. That isn’t what we want, so shoes would be stronger if we could just argue effectively.”
A man said he had just left the hospital emergency room after receiving a shot that would knock him out—and now he must staff advised him to get home very fast.
- "Officer, I've been drinking and I figured I would get caught quicker if I drove slower."
Get Mad— It's Good For You
- From an elderly woman. "This car is so old and arnyme it won't listen to anyone I have absolutely no control over where it goes or what it will do." Because it's speeding."
- "As I approached the driver's window, the man flipped open his wallet and spoke into it saying, 'Kirk to Ensemble. Kirk to Ensemble. Me out on here, fast!'
When arguing with parents, try focusing on a particular subject rather than
bringing up past grievances, Johnson suggests. Also, try to paraphrase your parents' arguments after each man's turn, so you understand their viewpoint. "If they say they're scared to let you borrow the car, then you should say after them. Do you mean I am unexpected I'll be in a wreck?"
Dating relationships pose additional barriers to effective argument. "Coupleals affect the stability of their relationship," says Johnson. Couples should learn that a single issue can be discussed on the entire relationship.
Don't limit your anger to those you know well, cautions Johnson. "If someone borrows your notes from a class and then returns them way after deadline, you should let them know of your anger ever in case you see him again." You're not getting angry to reprimand him but to avoid holding anger inside yourself, he adds.
Don't limit yourself to academic mentors, however. The people you meet during internships or summer jobs can help you stay up to date with your field and help make your entry into the job market easier. Keep in touch.
Almost all of the business manuals on the market today advise graduates to find mentors when landing that first big job. What many people don't realize, however, is that the cultivation of a mentor is one skill still in college, according to Dr. Adela Scheele, author of *Skills for Success* (William Morrow, 1979. $9.95).
The successful student, says Scheele, realizes that the influence of an academic mentor is not limited to students. An English teacher in college or the adviser who offers guidance on future career moves may turn out to be the connection that lands with a big publishing house.

New KUAC ticket proposal could triple student prices
s who speed those ticketsiolations. recorded on
By REBECCA CHANEY Staff Reporter
The KUAC board will meet at 3:30 p.m. in the Satellite Union to consider the recommendations. It also will consider proposals to move a KUAC football game to Arrowhead and will decide to sell beer in Memorial Stadium and will decide which KU women's teams will join the NCAA.
Student ticket prices for football and basketball games could as much as triple next year if recommendations made by the KU institution board ticket committees are approved today.
Steve Leben, KUAC student board member,
said that ticket pricing in past years had been settled at board meetings to keep student ticket prices as low as possible.
THE RECOMMENDATIONS of the ticket committee would allow the board to set policy regarding pricing and let the athletic department work out specific costs.
The committee also has proposed a policy for the board to adopt requiring students to pay half the public price for both football and basketball tickets.
Leben said the proposed pricing policy was unjustified and drastic. Based on this year's public prices, $19 student tickets would cost $31 for a seven-game football season and $15 student tickets would cost $38.50 for a 14-game basketball season.
e sai that he had met with athletic officials and student board members and that a compromise could be worked out before the board pmet this afternoon.
BASED ON NEXT year's prices, which have not been set officially, student tickets could cost $36 for football and $42 for basketball, Leben said.
The ticket policy committee, headed by David Amber, vice chancellor for student affairs, will meet at 2:30 p.m. today, before the board meeting, to finalize its recommendations.
Leben said that he met with Bob Marcum,
athletic director, yesterday, and the two had
---
agreed to recommend to the committee at the 2:30 meeting that student football tickets be based on one-third the public cost rather than one-half.
That would mean tickets would cost about $25. "I leaped sincerely. I don't think that's out of line."
AMBLER SAID the recommendations would be thoroughly discussed at both meetings today before any decision was made.
If adopted, the policy could be put into effect gradually over the next few years. Leben said.
He also said he believed some of the information used to back up the committee's recommendation was "unintentionally" misleading.
"But phasing it in doesn't change the problem," he said. "It 'only lengthens the pain. Let's not accept something we don't think is fair and we're not going to take effect for two or three years."
"When you talk about increases, students have to bear their fair share of the load," he said. "But a major reason that student income has declined is that we've paid off our debt that we agreed to finance (the east stadium addition of a 7,000-seat student seat). Lo and behold, revenues did decrease, but they were supposed to."
Leben said the information did not include student contributions to women's athletics and distorted declining percentages of student contributions to the total athletic department
He also said private contributions had increased to more than $1 million a year.
KU STUDENT FUNDING for athletics is comparable to other schools in the Big Eight
Significant increases in funding of women's athletics have to be made, he said. Also, KU's football and basketball recruiting budgets are second to lowest in the Big Eight, and the capital improvements budget is the lowest in the Big Eight.
"The athletic department is in a difficult financial situation," he said. "It is not a desperate situation, but it is serious."

The Senate approved the Finance and Auditing Committee's recommendations for seven of 13 committees.
The University Daily Kansas's $1 student activity fee increase request provoked a two-hour Student Senate debate before it was approved last night.
It also deferred a decision on the recommendation to remove the School of Architecture and Urban Design Student Council from the code until tomorrow's meeting. Six remaining recommendations will be considered Thursday if the vote is taken on the entire recommendations bill.
Kansan spurs Senate debate
If the Senate approves the bill, it will ask Actuary Chancellor Janet Kanel to increase the $15 million to $14.52.
Terri Fry, Kansan business manager, defended the fee increase before the Senate.
"We've done things in an effort to keep even with rising costs," Fry said, "but if we raise our rates to our advertisers any more, we'll no longer be competitive."
Three student senators voiced opposition to the Kanas's request. The Kanas received $73,280 and requested that its total allocation be the same as $109,680. The Kanan now receives $2 from the activity fee.
Fry also answered questions from Steve McMurry, Transportation Board chairman, concerning the Kansan's cash carry-forward account.

"The Kansan is a half-a-million-dollar business," Fry said. "Our costs vary from month to month. Cash carry-forward is to maintain our costs."
