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 the direct effect on University of Kansas students.
Among those issues are:
- A proposed bill that would raise the minimum drinking are 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 reducing the residency requirement from one year to six months for out-of-state students;
Most officials react favorably to budget plan
- 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, equipment and payment payments they are now making 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 number of scholarships available to students at state universities.
- Although a bale to raise the drinking age has not yet been introduced, most observers are confident that the issue will be raised this session.
- A proposed 100 percent fee waiver for graduate teaching assistants.
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."
Bingamman he expected such a bill to be introduced, but that he didn't know when it would pass. It will be a bill he would be determined by the Legislative Assembly when it meets in session.
If passed, the self-help amendment to the Landlord-Tenant Act would affect students who rent apartments or other housing.
The LA, 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 his landlord for lack of agreement or with state health and building codes, if the landlord refused to make improvements within a certain period.
Landlords would not be liable for anything not already included in the existing act, Solbach 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.
When the administration concluded its internal review of the faculty members' roles, a motion to further action against Forer and Dillingshall would be taken according to the official KU order.
Most students employed by the University will receive an increase in salary from $2.90 to $3.10 an hour if the Legislature follows its recommendation to raise student salaries.
But Forer yesterday called the threat of

**IF YOU REALLY don't need to eat to replace a missed meal, re-evaluate why you want a missed meal; or intimidate, for a reward or as a break? Make snacking a separate activity. If you're studying and eating at the cafeteria, make sure you're aware of how much you're actually eating.*

Bates offered several tips for party-gaters to avoid overindulging. "Go ahead and have fun," she said, "but plan ahead. If you know you're going, cut down your food." Party guests don't attend after the party. Don't follow the yo-yo-pattern of eating one day, not the next.
"See what it's being served and decide then what you want. For example, if it's a buffet and you want dessert, take less of it than the portion from the breadbasket and salad dressing.
**Be realistic.** You know you're going to watch the amounts and the frequency.
THE SAME ADVICE applies at home, she said, when food is bound to be abundant. Instead of sitting around and eating all day while watching football games or playing basketball, she plans on plan other things to do—time with friends or physical activities, Bates said.
Even though it might be numbing cold outside, think ahead to warm beaches and scantily-clothed men and women. "It's not bad for me when I lose weight for spring break," she said.
As for alcohol, moderation seems to be the key. Remember that soda and other muxers add calories and carbon monoxide to the air next morning. Bates said it was wise to eat before
Bates said, "Eating is OK" by Jordan Levitz and Kimbrell was a good reference on behavioral modification in eating.
drinking to slow the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream.
IF YOU DO WAKE up with a throbbing headache the next day, Bates recommends drinking milk or juice, not coffee. "Coffee is my favorite beverage, but it doesn't make it go away," she said.
Alcohol, of course, can cause more serious problems. Although alcohol in moderate amounts—two or three drinks in an evening—is generally safe, it can be dangerous to people taking street drugs or alcohol, as the director, director of Watkins Hospital, said.
Alcohol-drug interactions can result in anything from slight drowsiness and confusion to loss of consciousness, depression of breathing and even death, depending on how much a person drank, the amount of alcohol taken, his size, weight and mood, he said.

"ALCOHOL IS a depressant on many of the body's functions." Wollmann said. "When it is combined with any drug that has a depressant effect—including tranquilizers, antibiotics and anxiolytics—it can be dangerous in conscious cases."
The effect of the two together could be several times greater than the effect of each one separately), he said. In medical practice, it is referred to as the synergistic effect.
Many popular cough and cold remedies contain antihistamines. "Anybody who plans to treat a cold with a hot toddy and a pill of aspirin, or better head bed for it," warns a recent issue of a Food and Drug Administration publication. "The two together can increase drowsiness and make driving or using machinery difficult, if not hazardous."
A final piece of advice to avoid overindulgence, Bates said, is "to relax and enjoy the season more than the food and drink."
