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 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;
- *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 raising tuition by $300 for foreign students:
- A bill reducing the resiency requirement from one year to six months for out-of-state students;
- A bill that would prohibit the use of student fees to pay for academic, instructional or health care buildings, housing, or payments they now are making on them;
- Proposed funding for non-student users 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 be proposed bill increasing the number of scholarships available to students at state colleges.
- 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 proposed 100 percent fee waiver for graduate teaching assistants.
Most officials react favorably to budget plan
ASK's Bob Bingaman said that almost every 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."
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.
Bingham said he expected a bill to be introduced, but that he didn't know when it would pass. The bill a bill would be determined by the Legislative Assembly when it meets in session.
before a House Judiciary Committee for a vote in about two weeks.
According to the bill's sponsor, State Rep. John Sobach, D-Lawrence, the amendment requires that landowners force his landlords to comply with a rental agreement or with state health and building codes, if the landlord refused to make necessary improvements within a certain timeframe.
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

The ghosts of golden KU campus
University Daily Kansan
There are those who believe in ghosts. They believe spirits exist, not only of people, but of other things departed from this world, such as buildings.
By BENJAMIN JONES
there are several structures that once lay on Mount Oahead. But now, there is no trace of them. The grass or new buildings have covered their native stone foundations completely; they
Though much of KU's sense of history has been demolished by the wrecking ball, the ghost town still boasts some trees then. Old KU existed long before the current crop of students arrived at Mount Oread, and it touristed. Fifty years ago, a building covered with trees was the buildings more stately.
So cast your mind back to the year 1931 and take a walk down shady Jayhawk Boulevard amid the ghosts of semesters nest
Fraser, Snow, Blake, Robinson, Haworth all these are all names of buildings now on campus. But though the names are the same, the structures are not. New buildings are built at the Before there was New Snow, or New Fraser, or New Blake, who is Old Snow, and Old Fraser and Old Blake. In some cases, the new structures have been built upon the foundations of the old buildings, such as cases, not a stone has been left unturned.
MOST OF THE names will be familiar:
You start your walk at the west end of campus where the most recent buildings are. To your left is a walkway that was built in 1930. On the other side is Marvin Hill, older by 23 years. It looks much the same as it will in the future. You can also addition, finished in 1927. Beyond Hoch HOqus抽一个 observation室, and beyond that you can go to 1980 and house the geology department.

--in your
Across from the east wing of the administration building and sitting cattly-cornered to Jayhawk Boulevard is Robinson Gaussian, opened in 1966. It looks somewhat like a Gothic cathedral from the front. As you pass the door, looking up, you see some staircases, for there are streetcars that regularly mount the hill from the town and cross the campus.
The next stretch of campus looks almost the same as it will in 1979, except there are footsteps in the floor that forms Flint Hall. And you notice that the long, low stone building isn't called Flint Hall yet. It is still the Fowler Shoes, as it was christened one year before the construction.
YOU LEARN THE building does not house the department of journalism as it will in 1979, but rather, it serves as the center for the news. How did you wonder what has become of the journalism department, so you ask a left-over flapper from the previous decade who happens to be a journalist?
She points to a building in the distance, nearly elicited by a familiar building you see from your apartment. One of its additions. She says the small building is called the Journalism Shack. From what you can see at it, it looks more like an old warehouse or a storehouse. You structure. You decide to get a closer look at it, but as you continue eastward toward the Journalism Shack there are many people working on it.
LITTING YOUR eyes to the left, you see several tall, skinny chimney lining the roof of Bailey Chemical Laboratory like battlements at a medieval castle. Actually, these are not chimneys but ventilators for the laboratory in the literature's function is switched from chemistry to education two decades later. Bailey was built in 1900.
Just ahead, at the corner of Sunflower Road and Jayhawk Boulevard, sits a rather plain, one-story wooden building called Cemetery Park. It is built in a temporary cafeteria for students, but when the Memorial Union was dedicated in 1927 to those students who gave their lives in World War I, it no longer had a building for the cafeteria and became the maternity building.
It is a pleasant morning, and you can see the pre-med students sitting on the north wall of the classroom talking lazily. As you pass the anatomy building, you catch a whiff of for-
NOW YOU ENTER the oldest part of campus, the very core of the University. It must be the building of immense size; it is so densely covered with vines that it looks to be constructed merely of green leaves. It is Old Snowdon, graveyard of the built in 1866.
You sigh as you see that on even this quiet morning Old Snow is slowly being torn apart by wind and dust, while the windows will disappear, and its only epiphil will be the stones it donates to make the outer walls of the Military Science building in the next
Looking over the shoulder of Old Snow from directly behind it is Watson Library, where an archive holds handgamets stands the Journalism Shuck. Built in 1883, it is the second-oldest
FROM UP CLOSE you see that it has a broad, triangular fireplace that is flattened and slanted. Watson the roof is narrow with a steep slope that becomes vertical at the window.
Just southeast of the Journalism Shack,
you see a new building being constructed—Watkins Memorial Hospital, the only university hospital, in 1932, and will serve as the University hospital
