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 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-Term 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 that would prohibit the use of student fees to pay for academic, instructional or health care buildings, offices, and other payments they now are making on them.
Most officials react favorably to budget plan
- Proposed funding for non-student uses of student unions, such as faculty and administrative meetings, which now are partially funded by student activity fees;
- A bill reducing the residency requirement from one year to six months for out-of-state students;
- 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.
- 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.
If passed, the self-help amendment to the Landlord-Tenant Act would affect students who rent apartments or other housing.
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.
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."
- A proposed 100 percent fee waiver for graduate teaching assistants.
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 if she disagrees with agreement or with state health and building codes, if the landlord refused to make necessary improvements within a certain period.
Landlords would not be liable for anything not already included in the existing act, Subbach said, and only necessary repairs could be made.
Bingham said he expected such a bill to be introduced, but he knew when it would be passed, and that ASU's position as a bill would be determined by the Legislative Assembly when it meets in session.

Most students employed by the University will receive an increase in salary from $2.90 to $3.10 an hour if the Legislature follows the recommendation to raise student salaries.

Norman Forser says he wants peace. And KU associate professor of social welfare Gerrit Schroder was against the KU administration concerning his status as an instructor during his concluding lecture.
The new system, a sonic barrier alarm, should be operational next week, according to the president of the School of Fine Arts. The Thompson refused to comment on the manufacturer, cost, or technology.

if the team is whipping its opponents, the holiday season is bearable. If not, it's the nits.
There is no semester-end break for the men's basketball team. The rest of KU's athletic teams have at least three days of family reunions, but not basketball.
"This will be the second Christmas I'll have missed," KU's starting wing Tony Guy said recently. "When you play basketball, you miss all holidays. But every day is really a holiday, something that makes you come away from my family. I really must."
Guy, sophomore from Towson, Md., is one of the basketball prisoners confined to Lawrence, but he's an athletic inmate by choice just in his teammates.
"I miss Christmas Day and being home with my family, but there is one thing that I must remember." Body Neil, junior basketball coach of the college basketball and going to school, I know I must forfeit some things, like Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's.

playoffs, it could mean the end of next semester.
BUT THE PLAYOFFS are way down the road for a squad that didn't go last season. More important now is to make the most season tolerable and semi-jolly by winning.
“Our next big vacation is spring break, and that is during NCAA playoffs.”
Last year, KU dropped three of four games right before Christmas, including a win over the Chicago Bulls, however, salvaged money by winning the now-defunct Big Eight Holiday League.
"If you're winning and doing good," Guy said, "the sacrifice seems worthwhile. But if you're worrying about losing, it gets you worse. That's when the family can help you out."
