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 aide in Kansas to 21;
Most officials react favorably
- 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. Students will be paid payments they now are making on them.*
- 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 students in the area for 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.
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."
plan
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.
Bingham said he expected such a bill to be introduced, but that the Senate's *AIPS* position on a bill would be determined by the Legislative Assembly when it meets in Washington.
Landlords would not be liable for anything not already included in the existing act. Solab said, and only necessary repairs could be made.
According to the bill's sponsor, State Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence, the amendment would give a tenant an easy legal means to be able to negotiate a agreement or with state health and building codes, if the landlord refused to make necessary improvements within a certain period.
The amendment is expected to come
before a House Judiciary Committee for a vote in about two weeks.
Most students接受由 the University will receive an increase in salary from $2.90 to $1.30 an hour if the Legislature follows Gov. John Carlin's recommendation to raise salaries.
When the administration concluded its internal review of the faculty members' roles, it was necessary for further action against Forer and Dillingham would be taken according to the official KU order.
