Surrogate-parenting bill is unfair, lobbyist savs
By the Kansan Staff
TOPEKA — A bill that would regulate surrogate parenting in Kansas violates the rights of the father in the surrogate agreement, a lobbyist for the Kansas chapter of the National Organization to hold told a Senate committee yesterday.
Linda Woody, the lobbyist, described as unfair a section in the bill that would require the father in a surrogate agreement to be financially responsible for the child if the surrogate mother decided to keep the baby.
The bill, which is under the consideration of the Senate Judiciary Committee, allows the surrogate mother 48 weeks old to be given birth to a baby or give it to the biological father.
and his wife.
If the surrogate does not give up the baby, according to the bill, the father must help support the child until age 18.
"We feel this is very unfair." Woody said. "If the contract is voided, the surrogate has chosen to do that herself. She must assume the rights and responsibilities that go along with that choice."
Woody said that NOW would support the bill if the 48-hour clause were deleted. But she said her organization was not involved in surrogate parenting at all.
Barbara Reinert of the Kansas Women's Political Caucus said that if the Legislature passed the bill, the state would be responsible for licensing surrogate agencies and regulating the industry.
Windsurfers use a visual aid in presentation to committee
By LORI DODGE Staff Reporter
TOPEKA — Yesterday was show- and-tell at a House committee meeting when supporters of a bill that would exempt windsurfers from life jacket requirements carried a red-and-white sailboard into the meeting.
Water vessels are now required to carry a lifesaving device for each person on board. Under the bill, sailboards would no longer be considered vessels and would be exempt from carrying life jackets.
Smiling members of the House Federal and State Affairs Committee heard conflicting testimony about the role of billboards and the necessity of life jackets.
Gesturing to a sailboard propped in
the back of the committee room, Tom Welsh, a windsurfing instructor and education coordinator for the KU Sail board. He was also on the board and sail weighed just 60 pounds.
He said that serious injuries in windsurfing were unlikely because the sailboard was light. He added that sailboarding is safer, and generally fell away from the rider.
Welsh also said that sailboards did not float away from a person the way they would float on water.
But Kathy Vonachen, a windsurfer and a camp water sports instructor, said she wanted windsurfers to be more aware of the hazards involved in the sport.
She contested that windsurfers could be knocked unconscious when falling off their boards and might drown if they were not wearing life jackets.

Winter among 15 to attend meeting in West Berlin
By the Kansan Staff
TOPEKA — State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, said yesterday he would definitely be one of 15 Americans participating in an international conference in West Berlin Feb. 19-22.
Besides the Americans, the Aspen Institute for the Humanities, a nonprofit cultural exchange group in Denver, has recruited 20 foreign representatives to attend the conference. The delegation from the Soviet Union and other Bloce countries, Winter said.
The topic of the conference will be "Where is the USA Heading?"
Winter said he was selected because the Institute wanted people who would be interested in discussing foreign relations, but it did not want high government officials to attend. He said that the film "The Day After" was another reason he was chosen.
Officials correct errors by KIPPS before payday
By JENNY BARKER Staff Reporter
KU employees received paychecks for the correct amount on time this month, but not because of the Kansas Integrated Personnel Payroll System.
Some KIPPS paychecks for KU employees were originally incorrect, but officials in Topeka and at the University of Kansas corrected the errors before payday, the KU associate comptroller said yesterday.
Keith Ratzloff, associate comproter, said the only mistake that did appear on employee paychecks would be if employees 'pay or their W-2 forms.
SOME KU EMPLOYEES' paychecks included incorrect figures on their 1984 earnings to date, Ratzloff said. Earnings-to-date totals are on the checks only for employees' information.
The comptroller's office has received no complaints about missing or inaccurate information.

Lonnie Brooks fuses the hot, steamy soul of the Louisiana bayou with the raw, gritty energy of a band about the voodoo-stepped swamps of the South or his "Sweet Home Chicago" and the quintessence excitement for every audience.
After twenty years on the blue circuit, jennie Brooks has suddenly been declared a staple of the band's tournements, of course, has been there all along. It's just that now, with his fresh, original songs, hard-driving band, and his natural humanity, the world is finally beginning to find out about it.
A PAYROLL REPORT sent by the Department of Administration in Topeka to the University a week before payday enabled the comptroller's office to determine discrepancies between the payroll and a list of KU employees and their proper salaries, Ratzloff said.
"An electrifying master, playing with the unabashed enthusiasm of a ten-year-old pretending his badminton racket is a guitar . . . sincere, exhaustive, houserocked."
This payday was the first time that the University received the report early. It arrived last Wednesday instead of Friday.
