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 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 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, relieving them from the payments they receive on teacher wages.
- 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 proposed will increasing the number of scholarships available to students at state colleges.
- 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."
The LA, with representatives from each member school, sets the issues for lobbying priority. KU has 23 voting members.
Bingam said he expected such a bill to introduce, if it could know when or where the ASEA and that bill would a bill would be determined by the Legislative Assembly when it meets in
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-Dawrence, the amendment would give a tenant an essay question that would require agreement or with state health and building codes, if the landlord refused to make necessary improvements within a certain period.
Landlords not be able for anything not already included in the existing act. Subach 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.

Holiday eating, drinking binges may
Ru DANA MILLER
Eat, drink and be merry, Christmas tradition insists. But as final exams loom over students' heads, many are more concerned about surviving week end than worrying about the health hazards of overeating and drinking during the holiday.
Thinks one studentic friend: "If Iace my final, I can get a c i m (micro economics)." There are too many Christmas parties to go to; there's not enough time left to study. I've already pulled two alliances and I'm running out of coffee to stay awake."
roons, establish a good meal pattern and limit their intake of products with caffeine so as not to jeopardize their health.
The best present a student can give himself during this hectic, tense time is an awareness of the potential problems from overindulging in food, alcohol and technology; with the help of teammates, Marseille Bates, a registered doctor at Watkins Memorial Hospital.
DURING THE finals period, Bates recommends that students eat a variety of
"Students are already under a stressful situation," Bates said. "Erratic and bad sleeping and eating habits just compound the problem."
Consistently drinking more than 2/12 cups of coffee a day, containing about 312 milligrams of caffeine can cause adverse effects. You should from 50 to 200 milligrams you will experience increased awareness, consuming more than that day after day may cause gastric disturbances, mild tremors, nausea and headaches, headaches and poor quality of sleep."

Amain acetaminophen or cola drinks have 24-59 mg per 12 ounces.
Care packages from home, packed with mouth-watering pecan balls, iced Christmas cookies, Chex mix and other treats, are stored in the refrigerator. To avoid putting on extra pounds of insulation while studying, Bates suggests that students try to find activities besides eating for a study break, such as exerting themselves in magazine they haven't had time to look at.
