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;
- A bill that would prohibit the use of student fees to pay for academic, instructional or health care buildings, schools, classrooms and payments they now are making on them.
- Proposed salary increases, to the $3.10 minimum wage, for students employed by the University;
- A bill raising tuition by $300 for foreign students:
- A bill reducing the residency requirement from one year to six months for out-of-state students;
- Proposed funding for non-student uses of student unions, such as faculty and administrative meetings, which now are partially funded by student activity fees;
Although a ball to raise the drinking age has not yet been introduced, most observers are confident that the issue will be raised this session.
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."
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.
- Proposed increases in the maximum amount of federal funds available for scholarships will be proposed bill increasing the number of scholarships available to students at state colleges.
- A proposed 100 percent fee waiver for graduate teaching assistants.
Most officials react favorably to budget plan
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 in that town and know when it will be passed. And ASK 851, a bill would 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 members.
According to the bill's sponsor, State Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence, the amendment would give a tenant an easy legal means to sue if the landlord disagrees with or state health and building codes, if the landlord refused to make necessary improvements within a certain period.
Landlords not be liable for anything not already included in the existing act, Sailback said, and only necessary repairs could be made.
The amendment is expected to come
before a House Judiciary Committee for a vote in about two weeks.
Forer not to
When the administration concluded its internal rcv观 of the faculty members' feedback, the university would further action against Forer and Dillingham would be taken according to the official KU instructions.
Most students employed by the University will receive an increase in salary from $2.90 to $3.10 an hour if the Legislature follows a recommendation to raise student salaries.
Dillingham could not be reached for comment, but Forer said he didn't think Dillingham was planning any action against the University now.

On the way home we talk of presents and promises. Marie wants a silver bracelet. Neil wants a leather belt, Linda wants a woven blanket. I want a suede blazer.
