John Solbach, D-Lawrence, the amendment would give a tenant an easy legal means to challenge the proposed agreement or with state health and building codes, if the landlord refused to make necessary improvements within a certain time period. The LA, with representatives from each member school, sets the issues for lobbying priority.

Bingam said he expected a bill to be introduced, but that he didn't know when or where it would pass. A bill a bill would be determined by the Legislative Assembly when it meets in before a House Judiciary Committee for a vote in about two weeks. - A proposed 100 percent fee waiver for graduate teaching assistants.

He has lived in Crawford, despite living an hour away in Kansas City, Mia, also plans to make "I MADE A COMMITMENT when I came to KU, and I knew that I could not play basketball without Crawford." Even though I would like to go home, basketball is something I enjoy. And exposure is the reason KU travels, trying to find good competition and playing where there are large packs of KU alumni. During the next holiday seasons, Christmas-time athletes were never so important. The team had to make sure they had a record 13 times, lasted 33 successful years. It was stopped because the traditional tourney loses—Oklahoma and Oklahoma State—they could receive more national exposure. the 'Hawks will go East for tournaments in Washington, D.C., and New York City. THE SEARCH FOR national recognition also affects women's sports. KU's women's basketball team is the nation's backyard 23 practice and play for the Orange Bowl Classic in Miami. On the way back, they will play the University of Miami, Northeast Louisiana and Delta "That's the only way I can do it," he coach Coach Martin Washington said.

"I try to cook turkey because we usually can't too home for Thanksgiving either." BUT THE TEAM, playing in the Queen's Classic in Plainview, Texas, on Thanksgiving, garnered a gobbler from its hosts. For the players cooped up in Lawrence for the entire time, Washington tries to soften their stay. "They gave us homemade turkey," she said. "I had asked for one and couldn't believe we gave a homemade one. I was expecting something frozen. "It was better than mine, better than the food they get in the dorm." For the other in-season sports, including track, swimming and gymnastics, a break is required. To prepare one stipulation. The athletes are supposed to suppress wild partying and workout. The only team that would welcome Christmas practice is the Jayhawk football team. Holiday practice means a team is a winner and headed for a bowl and possibly football glory. The Jayhawks don't get close this season, finishing 3-4.
