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 affect direct effect on University of Kansas students.
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;
- Proposed salary increases, to the $3.10 minimum wage, for students employed by the University;
- A bill reducing the resiency requirement from one year to six months for out-of-state students;
- A bill raising tuition by $300 for foreign students:
- A bill that would prohibit the use of student fees to pay for academic, instructional or health care buildings, classrooms, libraries and payment they are making on them.
- Proposed funding for non-student uses of student unions, such as faculty and administrative meetings, which now are partially funded by student activity fees;
- Proposed increases in the maximum amount of federal funds available for scholarships will be increased, proposed bill increasing the number of scholarships available to students at state universities.
- A proposed 100 percent fee waiver for graduate teaching assistants.
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.
ASK's Bob Bingaman said that almost every legislator he talked to this week wanted to know what ASK's position would be on such a bill.
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."
Most officials react favorably to budget plan
The LA, with representatives from each member school, sets the issues for lobbying priority. KU has 23 voting members.
If passed, the self-help amendment to the Landlord-Tenant Act would affect students who rent apartments or other housing.
Bingham said he expected such a bill to be introduced, but that he didn't know when it would be enacted. The bill a bill would be determined by the Legislative Assembly when it meets in
According to the bill's sponsor, State Rep John Sobach, D-Lawrence, the amendment would give a tenant an easy legal means to move without having to obtain agreement or with state health and building codes, if the landlord refused to make necessary improvements within a certain area.
before a House Judiciary Committee for a vote in about two weeks.
Landlords would not be liable for anything not already included in the existing act. Sobach said, and only necessary repairs could be made.
The amendment is expected to come
Most students employed by the University will receive an increase in salary from $2.90 to $1.00 an hour if the Legislature follows Gov. John Cochran's recommendation to raise wages.

He also said that he thought wintry weather and gas prices would increase this season's movie business in Lawrence.
Elden Harwood, district manager for Commonwealth Theatres, also predicted that the box office lines would be long overdue. That is why he said, though most KU students will be elsewhere.
"WHEN WE HAVE a line-up of great pictures," he said, "we do as well or better as when the students are here. And I expect that it will be the same year."
the films Harwood listed as reasons for his optimism this year were "Star Trek," "The Black Hole" "The Electric Horse" and "Justice For All." "141," "and" "The Jekk."
Most of the holiday films will be coming from different studios, but they all, with the exception of "And Justice For All." A great science fiction adventure or comedies.
Paramount Pictures has released "STAR TREK," the motion picture that joins old and new members of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in a powerful power that threatens the earth and the human race. Produced by Gene Roddenberry and directed by Robert Wise, the film stars Kirk Acevedo, Leonard Nimoy and Deforest Kellery and introduces Persis Khanna as a new bold beauty on board the redecorated starship Enterprise. *Granada Theatre, 109 Massachusetts St.*
"The BLACK HOLE" is Walt Disney productions' contribution to the film space at Palmieri, an independent Palomini that is about to give up its search for alien life when it discovers the long-lost spaceship Cyprus, which is traveling dangerously near ever encountered in the universe.
