Fee waiver on Bennett's agenda
Bv LINDA STEWART
Staff Writer
An incentive plan designed to draw graduate assistants to the University of Kansas by offering decreased fee costs will be discussed with Gov. Robert Bennett Monday, Steve Leben, student body president, said yesterday.
The plan, called the graduate assistant fee waiver, would exempt graduate assistants from paying 25 to 100 per cent of their fees. This meant that they were on the number of teaching hours each week.
Graduate assistants now pay $28.35 per credit hour for classes in which they are enrolled and they are paid for the number of hours they teach.
The graduate assistant fee waiver proposal was accepted by the Kansas Board
radio,
Those who will meet to discuss the proposal with Gov. Bennett include Leben, Ralph Munroe, student body vice president, executive candidate, graduate student council executive coordinator.
BRETZ SAID A waiver for graduate assistants at KU was "long overdue."
She said a recent study by the KU Office of Institutional Research and Planning showed that KU offers less monetary compensation for faculty who teach in colleges and universities comparable to KU.
The other institutions studied were Iowa State, Michigan State, Ohio State.
University of Illinois, University of Indiana,
University of Iowa, University of Nebraska,
University of Oregon and University of Wisconsin.
The fee waiver also will be one of the issues the KU lobbying group, Concerned Students for Higher Education (CSHE), will advocate in the Kansas Legislature this session.
Bennett guest at open forum
Gov. Robert Bennett will be the guest at an open forum for University of Kansas students from 12:30 to 1:30 in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union.
The governor's stop in Lawrence will be a break in his series of town hall meetings taking place in nine Kansas cities.
The governor conducted a series of similar meetings last year that he said had been so successful that he decided to tour again.
the governor will attend an informal luncheon with representatives of the KU Graduate Student Executive Committee to discuss the university's president, and other student leaders.

Correction
CSAH SIDE IT would support the waiver because according to a CSAH handout, "KU would attract better teaching assistants because of improved conditions of employment, which the fee waiver would represent."
Bretsa said graduate students have been developing the fee waiver proposal for four years.

Improving Watson was one of Leben's promises during his campaign for student body president last February. A survey taken by Leben showed that students were in favor of improving Watson, including having longer library hours.

Improvements of Watson and Women's Intercollegiate Athletics also are two issues CSHE will study and lobby for during the legislative session.
The Student Senate voted last spring to discontinue funding of Women's Intercollegiate Athletics, putting the burden of funding on the state.
CSHE will lobby in favor of funding women's athletics to keep the program up to the standards of other Big Eight School's programs.
Although house-by-house reports have not yet been revealed, a state fire official said last night that he was satisfied with the cooperation that KU sororities had shown in meeting recommended fire safety standards.
Fire safety progress approved
Inspectors from the Lawrence Fire Department and the state fire marshal's office will finish checking the 12 sororites today and will inspect the 23 fraternities through next week. Clark Brubaker, deputy state fire marshal, said.

Brubaker said although he knew many rooming houses in Lawrence and throughout his seven-county region could be fire hazards, more attention was given to fraternities and sororites because they housed more people.
Brubaker said inspectors would check that houses had smoke detectors and en-

closed stairwells with heavy doors to keep out smoke.
Metal ladders and outdoor fire escape are not acceptable substitutes for enclosed stairwells, Brubaker said. Fraternities and sororites must plan efficient escape routes for members to exit through the enclosed stairwells.
Brubaker recommended fraternities plan six fire drills a year, two of them supervised by the Lawrence Fire Department. The sororites already conduct fire drills.
Reports of the fire inspections will be reviewed by state fire officials to see whether recommendations have been met after inspections end next week.
