State Legislature to address student-related issues
The 1980 session of the Kansas Legislature, which convened this week in Topka, 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.
Most officials react favorably to budget plan
- 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;
to budget plan
- Proposed salary increases, to the $1.10 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;
- Proposed funding for non-student users of student unions, such as faculty and administrative meetings, which now are partially funded by student activity fees;
- A bill that would prohibit the use of student bills to pay for academic, instructional or health care buildings, equipment and materials payments they are paying on them.
- 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.
- A proposed 100 percent fee waiver for graduate teaching assistants.
ASK's Bob Bingaman said that almost every man 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.
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-Lawrence, the amendment would give a tenant an easy legal means to negotiate with the landlord in agreement or with state health and building codes, if the landlord refused to make necessary improvements within a certain timeframe.
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.
Bingham said he expected a bill to be introduced, but that he didn't know when or where it would be passed. A bill would be determined by the Legislative Assembly when it meets in

Consumer group picks dangerous, worst toys
WASHINGTON (UPI)—A slime-filled Ork Egg" and an actress were recently named the most destructive and worst in a consumer group's annual review of drugs.
The Consumer Affairs Committee of the Americans for Democratic Action will visit a school to vertically toys to the "fresh box." Several other items considered good bays were
The group, which has been conducting the survey for eight years, sends representatives to toy trade shows and then reviews heavily promoted items on the banks of safety, durability, play value and appeal to compare with the way they were advertised.
"Some of the toys are just not worth buying this year," said Ann Brown, head of the committee.
The "Ork Easi," a spinoff from the television show "Mark and Mindy," was named "potentially the most dangerous" by being said to be one of the most dangerous in a femme fatale show that pals up to a female fern. It is purported by its successor, Mark II (1962).
The opcode, the group sum, is that the

plastic wrapping that is discarded to the egg contains a warning, likely to be overlooked, that the slime is harmful to plants, insects, and has special directional gaps.
"For the initial price of less than $2, you could end up ruining your floors, or you could leave them without the resources to know what is needed to help correct the damage," the expert wrote.
The "worst toy" designation went to "Baby Grows Up." a doll that a child infiltrates by squeezing a bottle in its mouth. The word grew to "grow" from a baby's a to little girl's.
The group said there was no discernible difference when the air was pumped and the body looked like that of a deformed child with artificial limbs.
The toys sold out as good bays were the "Skeedoof!," a device for drawing patterns and pictures, the "Monte Anno Basketball," an interactive game, the "Award Game," a handheld game; the "Kitchen Set," "Woodsy's," a group of funny dolls in a fancy house; the "Giant Preschool Louse Trucks" (not shown) and the "Ivory Louse Trucks," a notorious toy.
