Students' lobby hikes fee
By KAREN SCHLUETER Staff Reporter
Membership in the Associated Students of Kansas will coat the KU students an additional $4,965 increase in the membership fee.
The Board of Directors of ASK, a student lobbying group, agreed Monday to raise the fee from 25 cents to 40 cents a student, according to Greg Schnacke, chairman of the board.
Because of its large enrollment, KU currently is paying $1,157, the largest fee of any of the member companies. The membership cost will be $14,652.
The other members of ASK are Wichita State University, Kansas State University, Emporia State
University, Pittsburgh State University, Fort Hays State University and Washburn University.
Schnacke said that the increase was necessary to meet operating costs and to cover merit salary increases for paid positions in ASK.
THE PAID POSITIONS are the executive director, the administrative assistant, the campus and the legislative director.
The position of legislative director is being changed from a part-time to a full-time position. The salary for the position is increasing from $3,000 to $8,000.
Schnacke said that the new membership fee increase would be the last for several years because it is expected to be intended to keep pace with inflation.
"We have had the 25-cent fee since the beginning of ASK," he said. "The board is trying for an increase in inflation, so the inflation rate to stave ahead."
ASK was formed in 1972 at Washburn University.
Schnacke also said that by allowing for merit salary increases, ASK would be able to keep well-qualified people in the paid positions.
EACH ASK MEMBER school must now approve the increased fee to remain a member. At KU, the Finance and Auditing Committee of the Student Senate will make a recommendation regarding approval of the increase following next week's revenue code hearings.
The increase will then have to be approved by the Student Senate, Acting Chancellor Del Shankel and the Board of Regents.
Mental effects of captivity unknown

The last 14 and one-half months have been trying for the $2 American former hostages but the scars of captivity should not last long.
"When you are taken as a prisoner of war, you are under the control of the environment just as you are when you are home," he said. "But you can bank on the fact that you start thinking and your mind and thinks together."
Elias Chediak, a Lawrence psychiatrist, said people handled depression and trauma in their own way and in varying degrees.
Richard Scheiflebusch, a former prisoner of war and KU director of the child resource bureau, said his cap-on vest for World War II made him a stronger person.
ways," he said. "It all depends on a person's past experience."
According to Donald Goodwin, chairman of the department of psychiatry at the National Medical Center, the adjustment to freedom should not be traumatic.
"People have fantastic resilience"
be said. "In my opinion the evidence for
this is overwhelming."
GOODWITH SAID psychiatrists could only speculate on the former hostages' reaction to freedom by consulting case studies involving similar experiences. Most people who had been in concentration camps or had been prisoners of war had no lasting emotional scars, he said.
"The correlation with future psychiatric disturbances is small," he said. "There aren't any consistent reactions."
Chediak explained the decompression process the hostages would go through this week in Weibaden, West Germany.
Decompression is letting feelings out with someone, usually a professional, who will help in a constructive manner," he said.
The decompose sessions probably would be structured to promote gradual exposure to everything the hostages had missed. Chedak said.
Readjustment to society was a strengthening experience for Schelchebush. But it took some time for it become "caught in a daily routine."
"I found that I was more
familiar and less inclined to
handle." she said.
Goodwin said that although the hostages may experience some depression and trauma, only a small percentage of them, if any, would suffer any lasting effects.
He said that any $2 people could require as much psychiatric help as the $2 former hostages and statistically two others would need help out of each group.
