Ina Zimmerman, first-year law student, and her husband, Charles, milk the family Jersey. Although Zimmerman must get up at 4 a.m., to milk the cow and make it to classes on time, she enjoys the job because it allows her to spend more time with her husband. Zimmerman is one of 179 women enrolled in the School of Law.

Three mornings a week, Zimmerman gets out of bed at 4:30 to help her husband milk the family's Jersey and study before she leaves for Green Hall on the KU campus.
Zimmerman, a first-year law student, is one of 179 women currently enrolled at the KU School of Law. She makes the 80-mile trip-drive every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. To help cut the cost of commuting, she stays with a friend in Lawrence on Tuesday and Thursday.
"Milking Bosse is my most valuable time,"
"it's about me, about the only time
she and I have together."
As of Oct. 1, 1979, there were 38,287 students enrolled in American Bar Association approved law schools out of a total enrollment of 122,880 of 1979 entering law class, according to ABA statistic.
THE STATISTICS, THE most recent
THE STATISTICS, comprise 31.4 percent of
the training class in 1979.
KU's percentage of entering women for 1979 was slightly below the national average. The class's 61 women make up 29 percent of the total population, according to Lilian Sik, admissions director.
6x said the percentage remained the same for this year's entry, in which there were 56 students.
She said an increasing number of the women enrolling in law school were either widowed or divorced and had returned to start a career that would enable them to support themselves.
"The average age of the women has increased to 25," Six said. "It's been at 24 for several years. We've had more women enroll who have done some type of graduate study as well."
Zimmerman, 38, started college 10 years ago after her first husband was killed in Vietnam.
"I started picking up the pieces immediately," she said.

"I confronted the fact that women can't rise above a certain level except in a field such as accounting," she said. "In law school she's shown insiduality. They are loosening at as rational beings instead of hysterical ones."
Zimmerman said her family supported her in her decision to attend law school.
"My husband and the boys do the housework and cooking," she said. "The amount of time I worked with her was enormous."
Zimmerman said she occasionally felt guilty about sending so much time away from home.
"I spend most of my time at KU," she said. "I been a process of weaning myself away from the new routine."

you're neglecting your family so you have this kind of guilt."
ALTHOUGH SOME OF THE women attending law school with families have husbands to support them, others have to work to pay their wav.
Law schools must agree to adopt ABA guidelines that limit the number of hours law students may work at part-time jobs as a condition of the school's accreditation.
The limit, formerly 15 hours a week, was raised to 20 hours in August 1980 after law schools pressured the ABA to raise it, according to Mike Davis, dean of the KU Law School.
"The rationale for the guideline is that a student should be in contact with the school and faculty for a given time of time to obtain the full benefit of the school," Davis said.
Some students, however, especially those with families, have been forced to work more than the ACE.
DAVIS REFUSED TO comment on what
action could be taken to prevent a student from working more than the guideline allows.
"We would encourage the student to not work more than is allowed because it would jeopardize our accreditation by the American Bar Association," he said.
Ann Brandon, 42, is a second-year law student at KU. She has two teen-aged children that she supports by working as the associate director of a federally-funded program designed to give young women financial security. The program, called Follow Through, is an extension of the Head Start program.
Brandon, who would not comment on the number of hours she worked each week, said that she worked part time during the school year and full time during the summer.
"I need to support my kids," she said. "That's what I work. It's also a beautiful escape to rest."
BRANDON, WHO GRADUATED from KU in 1961 with a music therapy degree, said she had reached a point in her job where an advanced degree was necessary for a promotion.
"I had two options," she said. "Either go to the University of Georgia to begin work on my doctorate in music therapy or go to law school." She chose law school because the training
She chose law school because the training would be valuable in her job.
"Part of my job is to follow all the federal rules and regulations that concern our grant," she said. "Law school teaches you to think in a different way than you would be on my team if it's a mind-honing process."
Brandon believes the law school's work guidelines are a subtle form of discrimination.
"The rule as it is applied tends to discriminate against single parents with kids," she said. "I don't know if it's intended or not. I'm just glad that my kids are in their late teens."
Student senator seeks parking policy change
The administration is wrong if it thinks that unless people are totally immersed in the law program, they aren't dedicated, Brandon said.
"That's pretzel logic," she said. "When a person my age decides to go to law school they have to be dedicated. Many people my age have set aside established careers to come here."

Parking policy at the University of Kansas could undergo several changes if a member of the Student Rights Committee of the Student Senate succeeds in gaining acceptance of his
Dave Kersley, Ottawa sophomore and member of the committee, has written a series of resolutions to present to the committee aimed at changing some parking regulations and parking permits at KU.
ONE OF THE changes Kersley would like to see is the elimination of the policy increasing Group I and II parking violation fines from $7.50 to $12.50 if they are not paid within two weeks.
Group I violations are those involving parking in undesignated areas. Group II violations include displaying a mutilated or obsolete sticker, a badge for or permit stickers in the wrong place on the car.
Kersley said it was unfair for the parking lot not come with $7.90 to be able to own a higher price,
"And the University catches up with the
University evenually, so why increase them?" he said.
HE WOULD ALSO like the policy of raising

"It is very unbecoming to KU's image to have the highest parking meter fine in the state and possibly the nation," Kersley said.
He said that, after some research, he had been unable to find another parking system with as high of a penalty for parking meter violations as KU's.
Another change Kersley would like to see is the repeal of the "Excessive Violator" fine from the policy concerning Group III violations.
STUDENTS HAVING more than five unpaid Group III violations, in addition to being subject to having their cars towed away or the wheels locked, are charged an additional $2 if they pay the violations within 14 days, and $30 after that period.
Group III violations include illegally parking in a handicapped zone, blocking a fire hydrant or water pump.
Keralesy called this fine the "ultimate rip-off," saying it penalized students twice for the same
Don Kearns, director of parking services, said
he had no knowledge of the resolutions and did not
know what they were.
Larry Metzger, chairman of the Student Rights Committee, said the resolutions would have to be approved or possibly amended by the Senate before they could be presented to the Senate.
Metzger, also a member of the Parking and Traffic Board, said although many of Kersley's suggestions were viable he would like to have the committee conduct an extensive investigation of the issue and present a "well-hammered out" proposal.
He is organizing a study of the parking systems at state schools similar to KU to define and compare the services offered by these schools with those at KU.
IF ADOPTED BY THE Student Senate, the resolutions would have to be accepted to the administration in order to become University policy.
Metzger favors the "time deterrent" structure now used for parking violations. He said that he would like to have the initial violation lowered from $7.50 to around $5.50.

Carrying signs and chanting "Reagan and Haig, the D.C. Klan," about 30 protesters marched in front of the Kansas Union Friday afternoon in a "Rally Against Reagan."
The rally, loosely organized around several issues, touched on everything from military intervention to warrior to sexism. The rally, but Ron Reagan was not the focus of the rally, but its figurehead.

Joyful relatives, inspired crowds greet returning American hostages
By United Press International
WEST POINT, N.Y.-The 52 freed American hostages returned yesterday to the United States, the open arms of joyful relatives and a tumultuous national celebration of their safe return from 444 days as prisoners of Iranian militants.
After private family reunions in the airport terminal, they traveled to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in a bus cavalcade along a 17-mile yellow ribbon-bedecked road, waving to 200,000 shouting and screening well-wishers along the way.
The released hostages stepped off "Freedom One," the jet that brought them home from West Germany, to an explosion of cheers at Stewart Airport and threw themselves into the arms of waiting and weeping relatives.
SMALLER CELLEBRATIONS were staged by other towns around the country. Football fans at the Super Bowl in New Orleans decked themselves out in yellow ribbons and bows and displayed banners proclaiming, "Welcome to the champions—our hostages." Cheerleaders ran up and down both sidelines trailing yellow streamers, and a band played "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Oak Tree.'"
The former captives left Wiesbaden, West Germany, early yesterday and refueled in Shannon, Ireland. Meanwhile, their families got a tearful send-off from President Ronald Reagan in Washington. "Freedom One" touched down at Stewart Airport at 1:54 p.m. CST, less than an hour after the arrival of the families.

Free speech saga continues

The latest KU committee concerned with free speech net Friday, amid questions about its necessity and purpose.
"We're not just not sure this committee is responsible for the committee member, the freedom of the Freedom of Expression."
Formed by Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, the committee was asked to develop guidelines to protect free speech for all members of the University.
But at least one faculty member, asked to join the committee, declined, saying the committee was
"I was asked to join the committee but declined in a letter," Richard Cole, professor of philosophy and former chairman of the Blue Ribbon Committee on Freedom of Expression said. "I gave them my views that the fewer rules on this the better.
BUT ACCORDING to Cobb, the committee is requesting a renegotiated policy and submit it to the Board of Regents.
"Iurged them not to make new rules and to use judgment when problems arose."
The Regents revised its banner policy last semester by eliminating a sentence, prohibiting political advertisements in enclosed areas during non-political events. The revised policy stated that each Regents institution would develop its banner guidance to enforce the Regents policy.
COLE SAID THE committee could reply quickly to the Regents if it uses language from
To aid them in that decision, the committee will meet with Cole this week. Cobb said.
"I think most members of the committee are hoping to get this done rather quickly," he said.

"We don't anticipate doing a lot of new writing, but we're well aware that someone has to decide whether the Regents policy is adequate as it is, or whether we should add to it." Cobb said.
