Helmets May Be Required By Law

Controversial Helmet, Light Bill Held by Transportation Committee
By DAVE BLISS
Kansan Staff Writer
A proposal to amend the 1970 helmet law requiring motorcyclists to wear helmets and to keep their bike lights attached while riding is yet to be approved in Kansas House of Representatives.
The controversial bill has remained in the Senate Committee on Transportation issues for further evaluation.
Many local motorcyclists adamantly oppose legislation that would bar helmets compulsory. The case of controversy is whether the proposed law endangers the personal freedom of the rider.
"It's your life, and if you want to ride without a helmet, it should be your decision," said Doug Offill, Overland Park senior.
Offill thought that much of the bill's support was because of intrathegovernmental power and the concern of public safety
Other cyclists cited the need for adequate protection while bike riding, but they also noted the inherent dangers of the helmet.
"Your peripheral vision is cut off, and you're barely a harder to hear." said Bird Bird. Great Bend senior. "Just riding in city streets, I think you're fine."
Mark Garrison of Abilene said that in his hometown there was a police officer, the riders of all ages to wear motorcycle helmets and other motorcyclists in an attempt to repeal the ordinance, but the group lacked enough money for the equipment.
Vigorous opposing the bill are representatives of the Kansas Motorcycle Industry Council, inc., who contend that the
constitutional rights of individual are being infringed upon.
According to Sen. Bob Storey, R-Topeka and Senate committee chairman, the federal Department, of transportation can make a 10 per cent cut in state highway funds if the bill failed to pass.
Current state law requires that all persons under the age of 21 must wear helmets while riding motorcycles.
A federal law was passed in 1966 requiring all cyclists to wear helmets while riding motorcycles. The helmets law of Kansas is in violation of the Federal Highway Safety Standards Act.
The proposed bill is expected to be voted on later this week by the state House of Representatives. It was passed by the Senate last week.
Haskell Club Preserves Indian Tradition, Dances
The purpose of the Indian Club at Haskell Indian Junior College is to keep Indian traditions alive, promote the club, club sponsors, said recently.
"It's social. We need to keep close together." Dawes said.
The group has traveled throughout the state and danced for various clubs and church organizations. After each club members explain the importance of Indian Culture in their importance in Indian Culture.
There were 27 members of the club who have costs. Dawes said, and 30-40 other members who helped in other projects.
Pat Nimsey, club President,
said the Indian Club did not get
paid for dancing, but they had
died making projects
during the year.
The Campus Activities Board gave the group movies to show to raise money, Nimsey said. Members of the club had also invited the marketers to sell. Last year they set up a carnival on the Haskell campus.
The dances are performed for basically white audiences.
"It promotes good community
relations, as far as the school is concerned. Whitehall, a national prize-winner dancer in the club "117" like this is something we can do in the next season.
Whitecloed he thought of the Indian Club as a personal as well as a group effort. He talked to his students to speak to groups about Indian culture. The club recently went to the State Penitentiary to dance with the students.
"I go because it is a requirement—I have to," he said. "The trips are a part of a course in Indian singing and dancing."
"I'd rather do that than anything else." Whitecloud said. "They're my people."
