"THIS IS AN EFFORT to keep prices down, so we don't give tickets affordable for students." Sobha said.
However, he said any increase in basketball and football ticket prices for students would probably be less than the extra $4 a year all time. He would be required to pay if the proposal was passed.
Sobba said the fee increase would be easy to pay because the payment would be made part of students' tuition payments.
"They'll never see it," he said. "It will be fairly painless."
Hanna said the council considered Jackie Johnson's proposal two or three weeks ago after the athletic department business office supplied the council with figures showing that KU
students paid for a smaller portion of the athletic department's budget than did students at other Big Eight institutions.
ACCORDING TO THE FIGURES, student ticket sales and the present $4,50 fee paid during the two semesters in fiscal 1984 generated $408,822 in that year. Iowa State students generated $986,000, the highest in the Big Eight.
In fiscal year 1982, student ticket sales and activity fees accounted for about 12 percent of the athletic department's budget. In fiscal year 1984, student contributions dipped to about eight percent of the budget.
The athletic department's figures also showed that the percentage of athletic department revenue generated by students had declined over the past four years.
The athletic department didn't provide the council with the percentages that student athletes received.
KU students pay a larger percentage of their tuition fees than students at Oklahoma, Nebraska and Missouri.
However, Sobba said that all students "reaped the benefit of a good athletic program."
Vogel said the proposal might be unfair to students who weren't interested in athletics.
Hanna said the proposal was not forced upon the council by the athletic department.
He said athletics brought prestige to the University and served as a rallying point for students.
"This isn't something done by the athletic department to rake a few more dollars out of state."
Kids continued from p. 1
children that are no more than 30 minutes old. Most of the time, Friede said, getting the children away from the window is difficult.
"The children respond differently, but they always like the program." she said.
Sometimes they don't say much, but others want to explain why they will help mom throw an egg on the sandpit she said.
DURING THE HOSPITAL TOUR, the children see a hospital room similar to the one where their mother will stay.
Connie Viebrock, 3101 Ranger Drive, said that her 3/year-old daughter Lisa had been counting the days until she could "see where mom was going to be."
When Lisa saw the room, she immediately asked whether she could sleep in the extra bed,
Viebrock said.
The program also addresses the questions and concerns of the parents.
Most of the time, Friede said, both parents accompanied the child during the program. The parents are curious to know how much time the family can spend with the new baby.
Visiting hours for siblings are from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. for one half hour. The children must wash their hands and wear a hospital gown while holding the baby.
Fathers have virtually unlimited visiting hours, can stay overnight, and can be present in both the delivery and labor rooms.
DESPITE THE INCREASE in the number of people who actually touch the baby, she said, the hospital has never had an infection problem in
the five years the hospital has been allowing sibling visitors.
And having more than one child in the room does not bother the mothers, Friede said.
"Actually, the mothers do better when their other children and the fathers are around," she said.
Even though the program lasts about only an hour, the children retain the information that they learn. When the new baby has arrived, the parents have to provide the details and know exactly where to go, she said.
The children usually come to the program during the last six weeks of the mother's program.
The program removes the children's fear of not knowing what is going on and prepares them for the event, Friede said.
production and possession of them. And each country must have confidence that a new international greement is being compiled with. That's what our treaty proposal is designed to do.
"Of course, there will be hard negotiations ahead. But we're willing to work side by side with the representatives of the Soviet Union and the United States," he said, "to effectively effect an ban on chemical weapons." he added.
The Disarmament Committee has been negotiating on a chemical weapons ban for seven years. Verification is the major sticking point.
The United States and Soviet Union both subscribe to the 1925 Geneva Protocol on chemical weapons and the 1972 Biological
Weapons Convention, which prohibit the first use of chemical and biological weapons. The Soviets offered their own draft of a chemical weapons treaty some time ago.
REAGAN, POINTING TO the use of chemical weapons by Iraq against Iran in the Persian Gulf war and his own charges of Soviet use in Southeast Asia and Afghanistan, said earlier treaties had proven inadequate.
Reagan warned earlier this month that an "extensive arsenal" maintained by the Soviet Union "threatens U.S. forces" and underscored the need to modernize the U.S. chemical weapons stockpile, which has been in mothballs since 1969.
Chemicals
He suggested yesterday that critics of a revived U.S. chemical weapons program heed the lesson of World War I, when the Germans used mustard gas against allied troops.
"Some of us who are old enough remember the horror in World War I when only one side had those weapons and first used them against allied forces, so we didn't themselves against them or to retaliate," he said.
Reagan, denied production funds by Congress in the last three years, has requested $1.126 billion in fiscal 1985 for destruction of obsolete chemical weapons, development of protective measures and construction of a new production facility.
CHICAGO — Grandfather Winston Kindle, the winner in a court fight to raise the police department's retirement age to 70, put on his jacket and bow tie for yesterday to "the greatest job in the world."
"This is really fantastic," said Kindle, 64,
forced to retire two years ago. "It's the greatest job in the world. I always worked the street and I didn't mind that that job was like taking me away from home."
Retired Chicago policeman wins right to return to work

The city raised the retirement age after a complaint was filed in March 1983 with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. A federal lawsuit also was filed four months later by another former patrolman, William Griffin. Both men were forced to retire in 1982 when they turned 63.
The department has notified 109 people who were forced to retire after July 2, 1982, that they could return to work if they wished. Kindle was one of 29 who accepted the offer.
"It's a good thing. It don't bother me," said patrolman Jim Murphy, 37, a 16-year veteran of the department." We're glad to have them back. I think there's a place for them. They may don’t have the physical skills, but they have valuable knowledge."
The decision has received mixed reactions from other beat patrol officers.
But patrolman Sam Pesioli, 54, who has been on the force for 30 years, said age 63 was too old to go back on the street.
In their suit, Kindle and Griffin charged that the city violated the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act, which says that workers cannot be forced to retire between the ages of 40 and 70 if age is not a "bona fide occupational qualification."
"I think when you're 63 that it's, 'Pesiol said abruptly. "If you're 68 and encounter someone who is 25, there's going to be a problem. But if they are put on a desk job, that's different."
In October 1983, patrol officer Joseph Klak received a temporary restraining order that kept the city from forcing him to retire on his 63rd birthday.
The city admitted that it was breaking the law and approved a new mandatory retirement rule effective Nov. 14, 1983, allowing any police officer or firefighter approaching 63 to remain on the job. Those returning must pass a physical examination and a background check.
Police department officials said that they were concerned about the possible long-term effect of the raid.
"If we have an older force, does it increase our medical rolls and our rate of injury?" asked Deputy Police Superintendent Dennis Nowicki. "Is there a lack of upward mobility for younger officers?"
