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 a 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 raising tuition by $300 for foreign students;
- A bill reducing the residency requirement from one year to six months for out-of-state students;
- A bill that would prohibit the use of student fees to pay for academic, instructional or health care buildings, schools, libraries and payments they are paying 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 increase the proposed bill increasing the number of scholarships available to students at state colleges.
Most officials react favorably to budget plan
- 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."
Bingham said he expected a bill to be introduced, but that he didn't know when or why it would be passed. A bill 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.
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-D Lawrence, the amendment would give a tenant an easy legal means to sue if they objected to the agreement or with 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, Solbach said, and only necessary repairs could be made.

But all those things have changed. Just before the new year begin, Woody Hayes was fired for hitting Clenison middle guard Charlie Bauman, on the sidelines of a game against an Arizona team that persecuted an Ohio State pass. Hayes was fired by the university president and the
university athletic director early the next morning.
HAYES HAD been at Ohio State for what seemed like forever, always charging up and running. He didn't destroy another down marker or congratulate Bo Schembler on another Michigan victory. But this year, the team had to deal with Erie Bruce, former Iowa State head coach and OSU assistant, took over the team and has led them to an 11-4 record.
Another coaching change that hasn't worked out so well happened at Arizona State. It all started when a young punter shanked a kick. Coach Frank Kush either

He said a lot of students looked at Strong Hall and thought it's made of stone but actually its walls are terra cotta—"a clay that's been fired."
From page 11
Beesinger said that the familiar story that Strong Hall was built backward was, "the old man who got up and originated that the front of Strong Hall was supposed to face north because in the 1920s 'there was a master plan for a fence' to keep up the hill and to pull up the hill to the north doors of Strong.

According to Robert Taft's book, "Across the Years on Mount Omelet at Lake Superior," he built a lakefront building, Lake before a divining tower, pier, spring boards and dressing rooms were installed and lifeguards provided in 1924. Three years later, in Potter Lake officially was banned.

The mailing center does not handle any letters. It handles only bulk mail.

tower, canail said, there will be a ram of "destination mail," or mail from other parts of the United States bound for cities in the Kansas City center's territory.
Boyd Crandall, manager of the center, said that during the Christmas season, the center had to hire part-time helpers and about nine hours instead of the usual eight.
"We have about three good heavy weeks," Crandall said.
BESINGER SAID that Potter Lake originally was built as a reservoir for fire protection and used early as a place to swim.
At Watson Library's entrance gates, where old Snow Hall stood for nearly 50 years and was the place of most wispership in the wind by bobeans and professors who entered its doors.
He said the current rush was in the form of "originating mail," or mail from the center's territory, and Kansas and the Missouri were headed for other parts of the United States.
The Kansas City busk mailing center was one of the first in the country when it began operating in 1975.

Previously, Crandall said, bulk mail processing had been done at local post offices.
Today the Kansas City center is one of 21 similar centers located throughout the country.
The 6/12-air building is painted a deep blue, which distinguishes it from the other large buildings in the Turner Industrial District.
