Premium Rates May Rise
Cost a Factor in No-Fault
By MIKE BAUER Kansan Staff Writer
Cost will be a primary concern for any firm. An eventual passage of no-fault insurance program in Kansas, a state professor of law, would recently
Possible no-fault insurance programs currently are being studied by a state interim legislative committee.
Kelly, who has studied no-fault insurance for over a year and a half, said the program was hard to determine, partly because that he had heard about it. She said 15 per cent decrease to a 154 per cent increase in insurance rates was good.
Under the no-fault insurance plan, insurance companies pay the medical expenses of their own victims. Who was at fault in the accident.
Kelly, a consultant to the committee, said the designing of a proposal was complicated by a lack of information studied by the U.S. Congress.
THE PLAN, if passed, would set minimum requirements on state no-fault insurance laws.
Rep. John Hayes, R.-Hutchinson, chairman of the legislative committee studying the issue, thought that any proposal on no-fault insurance would raise premium rates. He has predicted passage of a no-fault law in Kansas during the 1973 election.
Hayes said that under the federal plan an injured person could collect up to $125,000. The Kansas committee is thinking in
Last night the court heard the court said it believed Land said that most faculty members who appealed to the court showed no opposition in the case.
To hear the cases quickly the justices conducted three courts every Thursday this semester and court heard 15 cases a week.
The biggest problem of the court, he said, is the faculty and administration of traffic fines. If they refuse to pay the fines, Lind said, the only recourse the court has is to refuse them a parking permit the next day.
Students who do not pay traffic fines are not allowed to enroll or to get a diploma. The only action
At Thursday's session of the University traffic court, the last of 275 cases carried over from last summer were heard.
Lind said that refusing to issue a parking permit was not a fault, but if nothing would happen if the faculty member parked in the
Geoff Lind, chief justice and second-year law student from Kansas, said the backlog occurred because there was no court during the month months. He said it would be heard during the fall term.

that can oe taken against faculty members is not to allow them a permit. Lind said.
Fletcher Bell, state insurance commissioner, is also working on a proposal, but he said his firm did not raise the premium rates.
Lind said there had been talk of bringing up a model case before the court. He said the case would involve a student who owes a large amount of money. The student would be defended on the grounds that he does not have to pay, because the faculty does not pay.
Harold Matney, Ottawa second-year law student, said, "The case would be a question of

"If the case was heard under a defense of this type" Matney said, "the court might grant all appraisal. This would in effect, do

AT PRESENT, if no one is at fault, or if it is a one-car accident, the insurance companies will not pay for the injuries garden on the injured, Kelly said.
Kelly said that one reason he thinks the no-fault insurance system would not raise present demand is that the no-fault insurance would eliminate the high cost of legal fees. He said the program would save $750 million to $1 billion that its anchors in automobile accident cases.
He said that if the court started granting all appeals, the chancellor probably would become involved.

Lind said the model case was "pointless unless you grant all appeals, and that would get me into the point, but loss the war."
Hayes said the Kansas plan would be handled the same way the Texas plan is, but the are handled, but the no-fault coverage would add extra money.
If the plan is passed and is workable, the no-fault principles could be applied to personal property. If a car is damaged and the fault is undetermined, the damage will not cost you or the damage, Kelly said.
Charles Oldfather, University attorney, said he had nothing to do with the appeals court at the University.
"Today the injured receives an additional reward for pain and anguish. Under no-fault this be done with away," he said.

"We are still not sure if all veterans have received their checks; but, if so, and we have problems relating the fees these veterans have have to deal with the circumstances of each case and take some action.
James Johnson, Lawrence graduate student and academic advisor to the president, said he did not doubt that veterans would get their benefits.
Johnson said some veterans still had not received their checks.
Johnson said that veterans would be aided financially by a tax credit. The bill was passed Oct. 13, 1972, and increased single men's monthly salary from $175 to $224 and married men's from $230 to $340.
Lewis Hail representatives said that Lewis residents did not understand the circumstances of his next month. They said that Lewis had a reputation for being a cold-blooded man who disrupted the atmosphere. They requested that Lewis be an all-white city.
"Providing the President doesn't veto this bill, I expect to see an increase in our next check," he said.

As a result of an increase in wholesale prices by major bottling companies, the price of canned soft drinks in vending machines has increased to cents this semester to the 20 cents, said Kevin Remick.

Ellsworth and Templein representatives reported that their residents wanted their halls to remain the same.
Representatives of Joseph R. Pearson Hall said Thursday they didn't want their hall to become coed. They spoke at a meeting for the formulation of the hall contract at Temelin Hall.
One of the representatives said that JRP filled up easily each year. The staff, the team's residents had returned. If JRP were coed, Templin would be the only all-male hall, and should be more options he said.
Turning Corbin, Gertrude Stellars Pearson or Lewis into a coal hall was suggested as an alternative. It was noted that those halls had had difficulty meeting that JRP had a waiting list.
Lorna Grunz, assistant dean of women, answered questions and let a discussion of clauses in hall B be conducted the second part of the meeting.
It was suggested that maintenance men give more than two or three weeks' warning before they work in the residents' rooms.
These suggestions are to be considered when the new residence hall policies are made Nov.18.

"The price of canned pop had remained at 15 cents for ten years," Remile said. "We were asked to go as long as we could for the students."
After the price freeze was lifted, however, wholesale prices were too high to continue selling at this rate, he said. Since there has been a price increase in many major motor companies, Romick said.
B. L. Nelson, Kansas division manager for the company, said that as a result of the contract with the employer, decreased by seven cents a case.
