The bill now will go to the Senate. Anyone under age 21 would be considered legally drunk at .04. The bill will go before the Representatives Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, and Forrest Swall. D-Lawrence, voted in favor of the bill, but Betty Jo Charlton, D-Lawrence, did not. Charlton said she was in favor of the .08 legal limit but not several other provisions, including the provision for underage drinkers. "I don't think they would be asked to take the tests anyway unless they appeared drunk or were driving erratically," she said. Another provision would make it legal for passengers to have open containers of alcohol in cars. "The designated driver is supposed to drive drunk people home,not people who are drinking,"Charlton said. The federal government threatened to reduce states' highway funds if they did not lower the legal level to.08. Senate passes fellowship legislation TOPEKA - A bill that would create a fellowship program for minority graduate students passed the Kansas Senate yesterday. The bill could establish as many as 40 fellowships of $8,000 each for Regents universities. Sixteen of the fellowships would go to KU students. During floor debate, Senators discussed the definition of minority. State Sen. Alicia Salisbury, R-Topeka, said she thought the bill's definition of minority was loosely worded. State Sen. Dave Kerr, R-Hutchinson, who heads the Senate Education Committee, agreed. "Basically, if someone meets the requirements for the fellowship and claims to be an ethnic minority they would be considered for this," he said. "The fellowies come to the House." Legislation would stiffen rape law TOPEKA — Drug and alcohol use will no longer be accepted as defense for persons accused of rape according to two bills passed yesterday in the Senate and House of Representatives. State Sen. Lillian Papay, R-Great Bend, said the rape definition bill she introduced to the Senate had influenced the success of the House bill, which had been stalled in a conference committee for more than a month before being moved to the House floor. It passed 124-0. Her message to young men: "I wouldn't be having sex with anyone who has had anything to do with drugs or alcohol." The House and Senate will exchange bills and debate them further before deciding whether the bills should become law. Compiled by Kansan staff writer Ben Grove.

Thompson said he had heard many suggestions of ways to study academic advising and hold the open hearings. University Senate Executive Committee formed a task force yesterday that will examine the quality of KU's student academic advising program. "John asked SenEx to form the task force. "We wanted to see if the University was really getting to the problem of advising students," McIntosh said. The task force will study the advising process and decide whether it needs to be improved. SenEx asked the task force to identify the needs of students through open hearings, research advising programs at other Big Eight universities and KU's peer institutions, and work with the Office of Academic Affairs on a study of the academic schools within the University. He said the study of the schools would give SenEx members Jason McIntosh and Robert Thomas asked SenEx to form the task force. the university a better idea of how students feel about academic advising. The hearings may attract only those who are upset with the advising process, he said. "We want to hear from students who may not have had either terrible or outstanding experiences with academic advising." Thompson said. The task force will report back to SenEx before its last meeting of the semester, but Nancy Dahl, who heads SenEx, said she would like a report before April 1.
