Committee OKs open meetings bill
TOPEKA - A Kansas House committee approved a bill yesterday that would change a widely applied Kansas open meetings law as a shift of power from the legislature to the governor.
The recommended change would allow more public meetings to be closed to the public.
The House Federal and State Affairs Committee decided to make the change in the open meetings law despite a memorandum circulated by State Rep. James Lowther, R-Emporia, the initial sponsor of the open meeting law, which would avoid hand and could accept another method of solving the school board problem.
Lother's suggestion, ignored by the committee, would merely have restricted the open meeting change to school boards operating under the board's rules.
The boards had complained the open meetings law hampers their negotiations with teachers.
The open meetings laws change was heavily opposed by the news media and attorney general's office during hearings last month. Opponents said the change would cripple the open meetings law by keeping government business from public view.
As it was sent to the House, Lowther's bill would define a public meeting as one at which a quorum (one more than half of the body's members) for the vote of the majority of members.
Now, an open meeting is one at which a majority of a quorum (one more than half of a quorum) meets to discuss business.
"Because of the widespread opposition to eliminate the majority of a quorum requirement at open meetings," the Lowther mema read, "I would suggest to you that I would accept an amendment so a waiver would apply to the board members when negotiating under the Professional Negotiations act."

"he does intend to resign," said aide Rebecca Snyder, "it is now just a question of when, and we don't know when."

Federal travel purposes unclear
WASHINGTON—Travail by federal employee is so loosely administered that a government study has been unable to determine the reason for nearly 30 percent of its responses.
The study found that in fiscal 1979, 26.8 percent of the trips taken by employees of 26 departments and agencies were for unknown purposes, according to Brooks, who is chairman of the House Government Operations Committee.
Brooks said the study team was unable to determine the purpose of 87.4 percent of the trips taken by Department of Housing and Urban Development employees and of 83.6 percent taken by Treasury Department employees.
Only the Tennessee Valley Authority was able to account for all of its travel, he said.
Congress ordered the report last year, and the General Services Administration, which is the government's housekeeping agency, also used results from a similar study conducted by the Office of Management and Budget.
The summary report submitted by GSA showed personnel at the 25 agencies studied took 16.3 million trips at a cost of $2.9 billion in fiscal 1797. The Defense Department spent most of the money—$18 billion.
Report cites human rights violations
WASHINGTON—The State Department's annual human rights report yesterday described a world where violations are rampant and cited the Soviet Union and South Korea as nations where the quality of rights detercented in 1980.
my contrast, the State Department was somewhat hopeful of China's movement toward a more open system and said Poland's political and economic problems were in a way a reflection of its "relatively open society."
In addition to the Soviet Union and South Korea, major human rights violators included Cuba, Hollyviz, South Africa and all nations engaged in the war.
Iran was not included among the 157 nations in the 1,139-page report when the reports were drafted in late 1980.
ASK refuses to act on KU-MU game issue
KU delegates' efforts to sway the 80-member Legislative Assembly of the Associated Students of Kansas on at least two occasions, on Friday and at the assembly's semi-annual meeting.
Staff Reporter
By KAREN SCHLUETER
The Assembly, a group of delegates from ASK's seven member schools, adopted nine resolutions as support for the meeting at Wichita State University.
Support issues are those receiving ASK support, but not actively lobbied for by the group.
Greg Schneck, chairman of ASK's board of directors and a KU senior, submitted a resolution asking for ASK support of KU students' efforts to keep the same football game in Lawrence, where he was moving it toArrowhead Stadium.
"I was forcing two questions by proposing this issue," Schumacke said. "I tried to get the Association to issue and trying to get the Association to support issues at individual schools."
SCINCHACKE'S RESOLUTION was ruled out of order as an issue of involving a particular school and not concerning Kansas students in general.
Bob Frigo, KU delegate, submitted a resolution supporting a proposed mineral resources severance tax just introduce in the Kansas Legislature. The tax would include the natural minerals, including oil and natural gas, in Kansas.
The Assembly rejected the resolution because there was not sufficient information on the tax's impact. Schnacke, who opposed the resolution, said.
ONE OF THE resolutions passed by the Assembly opposed cuts in Social Security payments to students.
ASK's participation in the development of a plan to bring Washburn University in the Regents system was also an approved.
A resolution defeated by the assembly opposed legislative attempts to remove tenure decisions from faculty and administrative control. The resolution would support protecting tenured faculty members from legal efforts to curb beliefs of their political beliefs or actions.
Dan Cunningham, KU's ASK campus director, said that the assembly did not want to become involved in the tenure question.
"It was felt that no matter which side we took on this, we were going to be the losers." he said.
"If we get involved in this now, we're going to be rubbing our noses in the dirt just like Joe Hoagland."
OTHER RESOLUTIONS adopted by the Assembly were:
- Support for banning beverage cans with detachable ring tabs in Kansas.
* Conducting a study on sexual abuse in Kansas.
Williams Fund polls donors on gift raise
- Supporting an amendment to the Kansas Open Meetings Law requiring a quorum for a public meeting to be called, and prohibiting the discussion of topics of student concern in closed or executive sessions.
The Williams Fund athletic scholarship trust is seeking opinions from contributors about a plan to raise the minimum gift required for VIP football parking and stadium dining club privileges from $500 to $750.
"If contributors think it will be detrimental, we won't change anything," John Novotny, Williams Fund director, said yesterday. "We certainly don't want to lose contributors."
Novotny said the plan for changing the dollar amounts required was based on inflation, increased scholarship need and current levels of contributions.
"There's really nothing to it yet," Novotny said. "We just want to see how people react to the idea."
As it stands, contributors who donate $500 to the fund become members of the Victory Club and are eligible to receive VIP numbered parking for football games and Stadium Club dining. You can press box during home football games.
"We aren't going to do anything until the results of the poll come in," Novotny said.
Results are expected in about two weeks.

teaching assistants were forced to locate their offices in Wescoe Hall.
A drive to raise $2.1 million for the expansion of Summerfield Hall has surpassed the halfway mark but is progressing slowly, John Tolleson, associate dean of the School of Business, said yesterday.
