ASK fights liquor bill asks for student letters
By SARA KEMPIN Staff Reporter

The Associated Students of Kansas launched a post card and letter writing drive today primarily to influence Kansas legislators to vote against raising the drinking age, the ASK campus director said yesterday.
Scott Swenson, the director, said that from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. today, ASK representatives would be in front of Wescoe Hall urging students to write messages for their representatives or to members of their Federal and State Affairs Committee.
The committee is considering two bills which would raise the beer drinking age to 19 or 21.
This week ASK representatives from most living groups on campus have been urging people in their groups to write their representatives, he said.
ASK HOPES to send 1,500 post cards to legislators Monday.
At the past two Senate meetings, Lisa Ashner, student body president, appealed to student senators to write letters to their representatives to voice concern over raising the drinking age approval of the $700,000 work study bill.
Swenson said he was disappointed that only about 20 senators had written letters.
Jim Cramer, student body vice president, said that in the past, post card and letter writing drives had not been successful.
"The beer and work study issues are closer to the students' hearts than a tuition increase was," Cramer said.
Students would participate more in this drive because ASK is organizing it better than others have in the past, he said.
The last ASK or Student Senate post card drive was two years ago, he said, when students asked legislators to vote against a tuition increase at the University of Kansas.
CRAMER SAID he thought students could make a big difference in the outcome of the issue.
roger Fooie, president of Maranatha Christian Ministries, said students should put their energy into other issues besides the drinking age.
"If everyone were as much against abortion as they are against raising the drinking age, we could do away with it," he said.
it, he said.
He said that as a Christian, he thought all drinking of alchoholic beverages should be eliminated.
Swenson said that ASK would also be concentrating on lobbying for the work study bill because it would be discussed in committee Ways and Means Committee Tuesday.
The Senate phone will be open to students from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday and 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Tuesday to call legislators and members of the House Ways and Means Committee about the work study bill, he said.
"The legislators will be in meetings most of the day," he said. "But at least they will get our messages."
The dual price plan for open and reserved seating passed by an 11.0 vote
Jon Gilchrist, Hays junior, told the council he would support the measure but would abstain from voting because
THE OPEN SEATING plan submitted to the Senate, which the council endorsed unanimously, would recommend that the upper tier of seats on the east side of the stadium be open and that the lower tier than 3,000 seats in the lower tier remain reserved.
In three recommendations, the Student Sports Council Wednesday told the athletic department to increase the price of student reserved season football tickets only if an open seating plan is approved by the Student Senate.
The council voted unanimously to recommend keeping reserved student ticket prices at $25 if the seating on the student side of the stadium remains reserved.
However, if the Senate approves an open seating plan drawn up Tuesday night by the Student Senate Sports Committee, the council recommended that reserved tickets be increased to $27 and open seating tickets be lowered to $24.
Plan may alter ticket prices
It was the first meeting of the sports council since its organization this semester.

Craig Domann, Attichion sophomore,
proposed that the price of reserved
season tickets be decreased to allow
more students to buy them.
Athletic Director Monte Johnson, who attended the meeting, said that a decrease in the price of student tickets
Hamrick said the main consideration of the council was to make a price differential that made the open seat more attractive than the reserved one while bringing in a maximum amount of income.
would only be possible if subsidized by a larger student activity fee or if some other revenue source could be found to cover a loss.
In addition to the proposal that passed and the one presented by the department two others were discussed. One would have raised reserved tickets only one dollar and decreased the open seat ticket to $23. Another would have raised the price of a reserved ticket $$ and left the open seat at $25.
However, Hamrick said the department's recommendation for open seating prices was to cut the price of the reserved tickets the reserved ticket only $1 to $26.
The council debated for almost an hour on the price recommendation for a joint open and reserved seat price plan

The Senate does not have any binding authority over policy decisions about ticket prices and售，但 the athletic department is expected to follow the Senate's recommendation.
The price of an all-sports ticket, for both football and basketball, would remain at $45 under both proposals.
HAMRICK SAID that a decrease in ticket prices only would be possible if there were an assurance that more customers would purchase the lowering the price would be a gamble.
Mike Hamrick, administrative assistant to the athletic director, said at the beginning of the meeting that the department was hoping to keep reserved season tickets at the same price if the seating remained all reserved.
"Last year we were 8-5 and went to a bowl but we didn't sell more tickets," Friess said.
Anne Stucker, chairman of both the Senate Sports Committee and the sports council, said the open seating bill would be voted on by the Senate in three weeks.

THE PACKAGE deal recommendation was close to what the athletic department was anticipating.
Tim Friess, Lyons senior, said that tickets sales had been too fickle in the past to justify a decrease in prices.

All accredited colleges and universities in the United States are eligible to take part in the competition. Entrants must submit a five-page of summary of proposed research to Soho by April 1. About 20 entries will be selected to submit more detailed proposals.

"BY ITS VERY nature, the Soho competition should result in more innovative proposals, and will allow scientists to tailor their projects to the strengths of their own research departments," she said.
The con is on...
"We feel that the traditional corporate approach of contributing to pre-selected colleges for research dictated by the company tends to limit creativity," said Terry Saario, Sohio's director of corporate contributions.
