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.
Most officials react favorably to budget plan
- A proposed bill that would raise the minimum drinking age in Kansas to 21;
- Among those issues are:
- 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 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, libraries, museums and payments they are making on them.
before a House Judiciary Committee for a vote in about two weeks.
- Proposed funding for non-student uses of student unions, such as faculty and administrative meetings, which now are partially funded by student activity fees;
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 Bingamain 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 increased by proposed bill increasing the number of scholarships available to students at state universities.
- If passed, the self-help amendment to the Landlord-Tenant Act would affect students who rent apartments or other housing.
- 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.
According to the bill's sponsor, State Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence, the amendment would give a tenant an easy legal means to challenge a state law that requires agreement or with state health and building codes, if the landlord refused to make necessary improvements within a certain timeframe.
Bingham said he expected a bill to be introduced, but he wasn't sure that ASE's position on such a bill would be determined by the Legislative Assembly when it meets in
The I.A, with representatives from each member school, sets the issues for lobbying priority. KU has 23 voting members.
Landlords not be liable for anything not already included in the existing act, Sabbach said, and only necessary repairs could be made.

Last night Linda and I peered out the portheb of a 727 and gazed down at glistening midnight jewels—the lights of Mexico City.
Today the dry December sun beats down both a tourist and a tour guide, I lead Liam and his cobblestone street bedded with Christmas ornaments, silver shops and
Linda is my roommate. We are juniorats at Barnard College in New York. For the third year in a row, I have fided freezing pavement and screeching, chilly subway water and ice, all in the south. To me winter means wind-cill factors and snow-clad sidewalks.
"Kennedy Airport," I shout so the sullen cabbie can hear me through the bullet-proof glass panel that separates us. Off to the bustling brilliance of Mexico City, where our lined with marble, murals and music, not daisy, broken cake machines.
But after I've typed the last page of my last English paper at the crack of dawn, bleary-eyed I slide my suitcase into a cab at the corner of Broadway and 110th.
LINDA AND I move along the sidewalk at a pace that is neither a stroll nor a stride, but something in between. And we're right in step with the city's flow. Mexico City is richly adorned with statues, cathedrals, palaces and churches. It is a bustling and vibrant city, brimmed, jammed with traffic, pierced by skyscrapers and screaming neon lights.
Linda grew in the gray-blue bosom of Brooklyn's Oak Parkway. She has the perpetual palpitation of a New Yorker. One wet, windy November night, over dark beer at the bar, she had to hurry to Mexico. The wind whipped us as we hurried across Broadway back to campus.
Three weeks later, we drive down Paseo de la Reforma, one of Mexico City's main avenues. Huge, colorful papier-mache figures swing from streetlights. Green, white and red Christmas lights line and decorate the canopy and arch after arch of light. Alamanda park is overflowing with balloon vendors who pour onto the sidewalks and streets. Balloons of all shapes and shades, bigger than barrels, seem suspended in the night air. And the streets are lit up by another, until they be heaped so high they bump tree branches and twirl and tangle.
On the way home we take turns holding our big pink balloon by the string, letting it flap out the car window, as if it were causing us, fluttering midly in the wings.
Saturday we spread blankets on the roof my parents' cabin, and the sun heats and the wind blows overlooking stone mansions encircled by great stone walls, wrought-iron gates and
"DIEZ PESOS, senitora, diez pesos," puffs an excited, overweight weight.
"Those must be palaces that house kings." Linda siahs.
At night we dress in jeans and embroidered, cotton peasant blouses and visit a garish but charming restaurant. Brightly colored paper flowers bloom on small, round tables drapped with matching cloth—orange, red, Mexican pink. The flowers are cut into petals and dressed in uenew white letters on glazed, blaoted green and brown clay coffee cups.
And quietly pleure, stretching, sunning,
we talk longily of Paul, who sins

From page three
The council notes that charitable contributions can only make a difference if the dollars are actually spent on the cause for which they were donated.
A LEGITIMATE charity encourages donor interest not only in its goals, but also in its finances.
For telephone, door-to-door and street corner appeal, asking the right questions is essential. If the council scrupulous pitch, the council says, without discounting the legitimate charity that owns the property.
consumer advisers at the national council of Better Business Bureaus urge you to give, but give wisely.
Here are some questions suggested by the bureau:
The unscrupulous solicitor who hopes to pocket most or all of the contribution will be anxious to cut off questions and move on to a better prospect.
the bar end.
* Does the solicitor have identification
bearing his name and that of the benefiting group?
*Is the solicitor willing and able to provide the complete name, address and telephone number of the charitable group so you can write for more information?
- Is the group non-profit and are the contributions deductible?
- Is the solicitor a volunteer, an employee of the group or a paid solicitor? If paid, does he get a percentage or commission?
- WHEN THE appeal is combined with the sale of merchandise or admission to an event, how much of the price will benefit the charity?
- Can the solicitor answer reasonable questions about the group's program?
If the solicitation is by mail, look for a clear statement of the group's purpose and how the money will be used.
You can ask for a copy of the group's statement and give it to you, your statement you give to be given, always do by check made out to the organization and don't give until you are satisfied with your statement.
