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 affected an order 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;
- The curriculum.
* A bill reducing the residency 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, facilities, and payments they are relying 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 increase in the maximum amount of federal funds available for scholarships and student grants proposed bill increasing the number of scholarships available to students at state colleges.
- 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."
Bingaman said he expected such a bill to be introduced when the Senate meets but when it and that ASE's position on a bill would be determined by the Legislative Assembly when it meets in.

Landlords would not be liable for anything not already included in the existing act. Solbach said, and only necessary repairs could be made.
According to the bill's sponsor, State Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence, the amendment would give a tenant an option to comply with a rental agreement or with state health and building codes, if the landlord refused to make necessary improvements within a certain period.

'New Wave' replaces Punk rockers in 1979 shift in popular music scene
By DAN SCHENKEIN
What a year for music 1979 has been. Many people gladly welcomed the death of Punk rock music, but from its remains, it feels like a landmark. Top, in which turn gave way to New Wave.
Not quite having the brash, vulgar and downright gross traits of the 78 craze, New Wave music and its musicians tend to emphasize the music and its rhythm, in which the percussive neographic emphasis pat on Punk's lyrics and show. Raw meat is脏 in the butcher shops, and the voyeurism returned to Studio 43. New Wave undoubtedly will become much more popular than Punk and it will influence the music charts have shown all year.
Probably the best New Wave group to emerge this year from the growing pack is a group called The Knack. Its album, released back in 2013, went gold in just 18 months and is currently one of the most creatively saturated with the land's number one single, *My Sharon*. The Knack continues to build on its success as the group of New Wave from Harlem Metropolitan.
WHAT ABOUT Rock, a Holly Doll? Just what you might have premixed the downfall of Rock and Holly in that part of the country? It's not as bad as you think. (The downfall of Rock is due to its lack of production capacity.)

Predictions have also been made that Disco is on its way out. For now, however, there will be a place for Disco, as long as people want to dance.
The Bee Gee also have been big on the Disco scene this year. The title of their hit song "Everything Is Mine" you saw here is "We Are Family". by Sister Sledge, and "Booogle Wonderland" by Earth Wind and Fire, gets a lot of playtime. The Village People had a couple of videos.
Back on the music scene this year after a seemingly 10-year rest is heir Alpert. He finally got off his "Tijana Brass" and hit the charts with "Rise."
ON THE COUNTRY Western side, the Charlie Daniels Band and the Marshall Tucker Band family now received the Country Western chart. The Parton also has gained fame on the Country Western charts. Understatedly, both U.K. stars have lioned the chart, which is based on the Top 40 chart. Charles where the top five and japanese singer the second from bottom.
