State Legislature to address student-related issues
The 1980 session of the Kansas Legislature, which convened this week in Topeka, will address several issues that have a direct effect on University of Kansas
Among those issues are:
- A proposed bill that would raise the minimum drinking age in Kansas to 21;
- An amendment to the Landlord-Tenant Act, designed to force negligent landlords to comply with existing health and safety codes, and with their rental agreements;
- A bill that would prohibit the use of student fees to pay for academic, instructional or health care buildings, housing or payments they now are making on them;
- A bill raising tuition by $300 for foreign students;
- Proposed funding for non-student users of student unions, such as faculty and administrative meetings, which now are partially funded by student activity fees;
Most officials react favorably get plan
The executive director of the Associated Students of Kansas, the state student lobby group, said yesterday that changing the drinking age would be "a very hot issue."
- Proposed increases in the maximum amount of federal funds allocated to scholarships, and a proposed hill increasing the number of scholarships available to students at states.
- Proposed salary increases, to the $3.10 minimum wage, for students employed by the University;
- A bill reducing the residency requirement from one year to six months for out-of-state students;
- Although a bill to raise the drinking age has not yet been introduced, most observers are confident that the issue will be raised this session.
- A proposed 100 percent fee waiver for graduate teaching assistants.
ASK's Bob Bingaman said that almost every legislator he walked to this week wanted to know what ASK's position would be on such a bill.
Bingham said he expected a bill to be introduced, but that he didn't know when it would pass. The Senate will bill a bill to be determined by the Legislative Assembly when it meets in.
The L.A. with representatives from each member school, sets the issues for lobbying priority. KU has 23 voting priorities.
If passed, the self-help amendment to the Landlord-Tenant Act would affect students who rent apartments or other housing.
According to the bill's sponsor, State Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence, the amendment would give a tenant a right to apply with a rental agreement or with state health and building codes, if the landlord refused to make necessary improvements within a certain period.
The amendment is expected to come
Landlords would not be liable for anything not already included in the existing act, Solbach said, and only necessary repairs could be made.
Forer not
By CINDY WHITCOME Staff Reporter
Norman Forer says he wants peace. And the KU associate professor of social welfare will work with the students against the KU administration concerning his status as an instructor during his commitment to the university.
Forer and Clarence Dillingham, a lecturer in the School Social Welfare who taught at the university, have given 20 days of leave without pay after their unauthorized trip to Iran. Forer leaves with a copy of his notes.
Dillingham could not be reached for comment, but Forer said he didn't think Dillingham was planning any action against the University now.
