Senate to vote tonight on ASK membership

Student senators will vote tonight on whether to make the University of Kansas a member of Associated Students of Kansas, a state lobbying group.
Mike Harper, student body president, said yesterday that only a simple majority vote was needed to pass the bill and that he was confident it would pass.
He said he did not pass to speculate on whether passage of the bill by the Senate would help gain the approval of KU's membership by the other member schools
Members of the Student Senate Services Committee last night voted to recommend a bill proposing a 18-month provisional memorial U.S. ASK to the Senate at a free meeting tonight.
The bill was submitted by Harper and Ron Allen, executive director of Concerned Mining, to the Senate.
lobbying group. It said that although CSEH "plays a valuable role in making the Legislature aware of KU issues," KU must also monitor the legislative process.
BECAUSE ASK is in Topeka, and because it is a full-time lobbying group, KU's membership in ASK would make monitoring possible, the bill said.
KU's membership also would provide Board of Regents universities with unified lobbying in the Kansas Legislature, the bill said.
The board of directors of ASK this summer passed a resolution recommending that KU be allowed a 10-month provisional membership, with rights for a reduced membership fee of $2,500.
KU's provisional membership is subject to the approval of the student senates of all member schools and the legislative assembly of ASK. A dissenting vote from one student senate would block KU's membership.
ALL OTHER Regents universities and Washburn University are members of ASK. Each of the universities pays 25 cents a month to the school. The ception of Wichita State University, which pays 30 cents a student. Every member school has one delegate in the legislative assembly of ASK for every 1,000 full-time teachers in its school. There were 31 delegates last year.
If KU paid the entire membership fee, it would be about $10,000. KU would have 21 to 23 delegates, giving the University nearly 30 percent of the vote in the legislative assembly.
Wichita State and Pittsburgh State University already have approved KU's membership in ASK. Other member schools will vote this month.
Harper and Hannes Zachieras, executive director of ASK, were at the committee meeting last night to support the bill and answer questions.
ALTHOUGH HARPER would not support KU's membership in ASK without the trial membership, he said, the 10-month national membership would be beneficial to KU.
Harper said ASK's success in lobbying for any major issues would justify rejoining next year for the full membership fee of 25 cents a student.
"IF, FOR example, ASK is successful in finding an alternative method of funding women's athletics, then KU students will need to ask the university not now that we cannot afford to join." he said.
Zacharias said he did not view CSME as the two to ask ASH. He said he hoped the two to ask him.
He said KU's membership would increase ASK's lobbying power.
ZACHERLIA SAID that ASK members had not yet decided for which issues they were concerned.
would be chosen at the first ASK legislative assembly meeting in October.
Also on the agenda for the Senate meeting tonight will be officers' reports and approval of several appointments that Harper made this fall to fill vacancies.
"I know some students at KU are opposed to the proposed cigarette tax, but if KU joins ASK, it will have 23 votes to oppose it," he said.
Harper and there were 112 seminars, but 21 of the seats were open because some of the students were very sick.
The 21 seats open are six freshman-
sophomore seats from Nunenaker Center,
three fine arts seats, seven graduate seats
and one seat each for journalism,
engineering, business, special student and
 junior-senior liberal arts and sciences.
Candidate filing deadline is Oct. 2 and elections will be Oct. 18 and 19.
Inmates seek own fraternity at Leavenworth
BY LORI LINENBERGER
Baker said he received a letter in late August from Theodore Williams Sr., an inmate at the penitentiary, requesting the IFC's assistance in organizing a local fraternity for those inmates enrolled in University classes.
Several inmates at Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary who are enrolled in the KU continuing education program are eager to establish their own fraternity, Dave Baker, Interfraternity Council president, said yesterday.
In the letter, Williams said he and some of his fellow inmates believed that a prison fraternity would offer an opportunity to develop skills as well as the college program there.
Baker said that the idea of establishing a fraternity at Leavenworth still was in the preliminary stage, but that IFC was eager to get the project going and would discuss the matter at its next presidential council meeting.
"ITS POSSIBLE that some of us will go to the prison and try to discuss some of the aspects of organizing a fraternity with the impates who are interested," he said.
Richard Reiter, executive assistant to the warden at Leavenworth, said he was not familiar with William's desire to establish a museum. "It would be tough to reach an organization would not be ruled out."
Barker said Williams wanted the fraternity open to all inmates enrolled in KU classes so that the prisoners could experience some of their own experiences with an institution of higher education.
"SOME OF THE STUDENTS here, because of the length of their sentences, may never attend classes on the campus of a regular college or university and may miss some important and required coursework," said the membership in a fraternity can provide. "Williams said in the letter."
A spokesman for the continuing education office said about 50 to 60 inmates were enrolled in the extension program. Any prisoner with a high school education or its equivalent is eligible to enroll in the extension classes.
**WILLIAMS SAID** that his hopes of establishing a fraternity on the prison have been dashed.
Baker said he thought the idea was workable and hoped prison authorities could use it.

Wichita branch report approved
KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- After two days of meetings, the interim legislative health education committee yesterday gave general approval to a report on the Wichita branch of the University of Kansas School of Medicine.
One of the recommendations in the report dealt with the growing tendency for
The report included recommendations that would expand the services of the brent
hospitals to phase out their residency programs unless the programs are connected to a medical school. Several Wichita hospitals have residency training programs for physicians, but the programs are only connected to the medical school there.
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes, who presented the recommendation report to the committee Monday, suggested considering the development of a "formal, consistent relationship between the Wichita facility branch of the KU school and several
residency programs in the Wichita
bombits,"
RICHARD VON ENDE, executive secretary of the University, described similar programs he had observed in Illinois and Oklahoma medical school branches and commented on the success of those programs.
Another recommendation that would expand the residence programs involved establishing several ambulatory care specialties and emphasized physicians' specialities.
Rov gets Docking endorsement
From staff and wire reports
Speaking at a joint press conference with Roy in Wichita, Docking praised Roy for his efforts at fiscal restraint while in Congress, and he made him the most qualified T.O. to the Senate.
Robert Docking, former Kansas governor, took a step back into active political life yesterday when he officially endorsed Hill Roy, democratic candidate for the U.S.
Docking has not been active in politics since 1972, when he completed his fourth consecutive two-year term as governor. He was also elected other Democratic candidates in the past.
"Bill Roy believes in the philosophy of pay you go, and I support him for that," Joachim says.
During the press conference Docking was
ROY WAS confronted by a statement from the campaign of his Republican op- leader, Ben Carson, labeled as misleading a statement Roy made Sept. 6 in which he said he had the endorsement and support of both the Republican Association and the Kansas Medical Society.
"The members of those two organizations have political action committees, and I received their endorsements." Roy said. "We never said we had sole support."
given the title of honorary campaign chairman. Officials in Roy's office said he would serve mainly in an advisory position and not speak as a speaking engagement on behalf of Roy.
ROY RESPOONED that at the time of his Sept. 6, remarks, he had understood that Kassbaum had not received support from the campaign team. That Kassbaum's campaign headquarters had received a $1,000 check Aug. 30 from the national association. He checked Check 7. From the national association.
Kassabeh's campaign manager, Leigh Kimbali, had distributed a letter from the mayor to him.
As the general election nears, several groups have come out in support of candidates from Kansas and 22,000-member Kansas National Education Association and the Kansas State
E. Meyer, specifying that the society had given equal financial support to both Boy Yoyo and Levi.
Both candidates will be featured speakers at the William Allen White Editors' Day this fall.
"THE AMBULATORY care clinics would have great advantages for medical education and direct benefit to the people." chairman of red Cross-Better Batter Chairman of the intercommune said.
They would be directed by the schools and faculties of the corresponding medical specialities. Staffed by faculty and residents, the clinics would provide clinical experience and training for medical students, the report said.
Von Ende said, "The clinics would have no fiscal impact on the general revenue fund because they are self-supporting. All it takes is some seed money to get it started."
The report said that the University's decision to increase medical school enrollment to 200 students a class, including the Wichita students, had turned out to be a success.
Von Erde said he also had observed similar clinics at the branch medical department.
Several factors, the report said, indicate that 200 graduates yearly will help, over the next 10 years, to achieve a correct ratio and geographic distribution of physicians in the state.

Even more reassuring to the University and legislators is the fact that, under the

The clinics, specializing in family practice, internal practice, pediatrics and obstetrics-gynecology, would be established at several locations in the Wichita community.
The spokesman, Leland Mcechan of Landmark Ford, said Ford had been sending letters the past three weeks to owners of 1971 and 1976 and Bobcats made in 1973-76.

Students who drive defective Ford Pintos and Mercury Bobcats can expect a letter from the Ford Motor Co. directing them to have the fuel tank repaired and they should not delay in doing so, a local Ford dealer snooker said yesterday.

should fix us and make an appointment to fix the fuel tank." McMechan said.

He said Landmark Ford had repaired 15 recalled Pintos and expected to repair many more. To avoid a backlog of repairs, he said the car did not get in delay the tank fixed, he said.

car owners of all problems that might be found on a particular model.
Ford recalled about 1.5 million Pintos and 30,000 Bobcats in June when it was discontinued because of a failure to structure and that the filer pipe would separate from the tank after a low-to-moderate-speed vehicle.
The manufacturer also must tell the owner what parts are to be replaced and where he can receive the repairs. Repairs may be required for charge to the owner, the spokesman said.
A WEEK AGO, Ford was indicted by an

The grand jury charged Ford with three counts of reckless homicide and one count of criminal recklessness, saying that the fuel tank exploded. The judge said that Ford had legal duty to warn the public.
