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 direct effect on University of Kansas students.
- 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;
- A bill that would prohibit the use of student fees to pay for academic, instructional or health care buildings, computers, and other payments they now are making on them.
ASK's Bob Bingaman that almost every legislator he talked to this week wanted to know what ASK's position would be once a bill.
Most officials react favorably to budget plan
A bill raising tuition by $300 for foreign 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;
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."
- Proposed salary increases, to the $3.10 minimum wage, for students employed by the University;
If passed, the self-help amendment to the Landlord-Tenant Act would affect students who rent apartments or other housing.
before a House Judiciary Committee for a vote in about two weeks.
The LA, with representatives from each member school, sets the issues for lobbying priority. KU has 23 voting members.
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.
- A bill reducing the residency requirement from one year to six months for out-of-state students;
- 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 an agreement or with state health and building codes, if the landlord refused to make necessary improvements within a certain period.
- Proposed increases in the maximum amount of federal funds available for scholarships will increase the number of scholarships available to students at state colleges.
- Bingham said he expected such a bill to be introduced within the next four years and that ASE's position on such a bill would be determined by the Legislative Assembly when it meets in Washington.
- A proposed 100 percent fee waiver for graduate teaching assistants.
Landlords would not be liable for anything not already included in the existing act. Subbach said, and only necessary repairs could be made.
Most students employed by the University will receive an increase in salary from $2.90 to $1.30 an hour if the legislature follows Gov. John Carlin's recommendation to raise wages.

1979 television programming a flop
Rv PAM CLARK
It takes but one look at the regular programming of the 1972 television season to see that it was one of the worst in recent years. The program was better been better off filling the prime-time hours with reprints of old favorites such as "Leave It to Heaven," "Dick Van Dyke," and others.
At least the networks had enough sense to keep the annual holiday favorites. There is no doubt that spirits brighten contemplems during Christmas, but tempersize about the true meaning of Christmas to Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang, when Santa Claus comes to town in the animated version, or in person at a special event. Rudolph and Frosty are aired. Not even
Anything would have been better than Mary Tyler Moore's variety show, Muhammad Ali's first movie, "Freedom is the Battle of the NFL Cheerleaders."
KANSAN Review
Bing Crosby's death will prevent us from enjoyme Christmas with the Crossbys.
But these traditional favorites do little to erase our memories of one of the worst episodes of *Game of Thrones* ever offered. Again this year the networks had to dip into their pockets to bring big-screen hits to the little screen. Some of the games we see on television this year included "Jaws," "Smokey and the Bandit," "One Flew Over the River" and "The Turning Point" and "Oh, God."
The made-for-television movies dealt with everything from teen-age alcoholism, prostitution, pregnancy and runaways to suicide and inceist.
The 1979 season was one in which some of the medium's most reliable breweras

proved not to be so reliable. Ratings for the World Series, which usually were among the highest of the season, were about the same in the history of the television Series.
Some people attribute this to the fact that teams representing the large tech companies in Los Angeles, were not in the Series. Instead, the Baltimore Orioles and the Boston Red Sox more accurately attribute the low ratings to the mansure commentary of Howard Stern.
Other successful shows had trouble attaining the ratings they had accrued from them, but one of its most successful programs, "Mork and Mindy," and now it is having trouble competing with a show that has been the number-one starbags back, "Arche Burke's Place."
The nostalgia craze may go out of style, "Happy Days" and "Laverne and Shirley" are not bringing in the numbers that made it popular to raise ratings, the networks starred of one show make appearances on another show and then continue two on the show.
The stars of "Happy Days" and "Laverne and Shirley" were on each other's show. The Angel's angels solved a case on "The Love Boat" and then went to "Las Vegas." Two aliens got together and work joined the cast of "Out of the Blue."
The Saturday lineup of cartoons for children consisted of shows that were 20 years old. "Woodie Woodpecker," "Tom and Jerry," "Mighty Mouse," "Heckle and jeekle" and "Bugs Bunny." But they also included scenes of real people in real situations, such as "Kids Are People Tob," "Hot Hero Sandwich" and the ABC Afternoon and weekend
there were plenty of gruesome stories for the news shows to air. The sick and starving boat people were brought into our homes; an NBC newsman, Bill Stewart, was shot in Nicaragua in front of television cameras, and several major airline crashes that cost many lives and caused concern for air safety were televised.
Probably the best remembered will be Geraldo Rivera's expose of the moulded investigation of Elvis Presley's death. Americans were kept up-to-date on the situation in Iran by nightly half-hour calls to the three networks after the late news.
Other highlights of the season included "Sesame Street's" 10th anniversary and a special, "Who are the DeBolts and Where Did They Get 12 Children?"
America was not at war in 1979, but
But, of course, not all of the news shows or regular programming turned one's eyes on the *Minutes* — "Minutes" was among the 10 in ratings and in quality, while its ABC counterpart, "The Late Show," did not.
Three series that have been mainstays on television the past decade have surpassed all other events even though one of its featured stars is playing the show *Alan Alda's acting, writing* and directing talents "M.A.A.S. Hour" (comedy) with guest star Bunker's *Place"; and two of Charles' three original angels have flown the coop *All Things All*; all three shows are holding up well.
It is probably unrealistic, but if the networks would put half of the time and energy into the servers that they put into the mini-series, then the quality of television would increase 200 times.
And when one speaks of highlights of a television show anymore, you can't leave the screen. But the mini-series. The best two offered this year were "Back Stairs at the White House," and "The Big Bang Theory."
