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.
Most officials react favorably
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;
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."
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 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:
If passed, the self-help amendment to the Landford-Tenant Act would affect students who rent apartments or other housing.
lan
- A bill that would prohibit the use of student fees to pay for academic, instructional or health care buildings, facilities, and the payments they receive on them.
- 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.
- 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 proposed 100 percent fee waiver for graduate teaching assistants.
The IA, 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 the landlord disagrees with agreement or with state health and building codes, if the landlord refused to make necessary improvements within a certain period.
Landlords not be liable for anything not already included in the existing act. Subach said, and only necessary repairs could be made.
The amendment is expected to come

"I'll be home for Christmas." Most KU students can sing that tune without any doubt that it will happen, because this holiday, more than any other, is a holiday season.
By CAFTL IN GOODWIN
Yet many students will only dream of being home for Christmas. Their homes are thousands miles away, and the cost is high. Many families are being with their families for the holidays.
So, the foreign students of the University of Kansas must celebrate their holidays in the United States, and some go no farther than Lawrence.
"I think old Lawrence will really be dead," Rao Vedurumudi, Thailand senior, said last week.
He said he would stay in Lawrence and work for the department of continuing education. Most of his friends will go home and spend the Christmas plains were uncertain.
"I usually get invited to someone's house," he said. "I went to same friends' house, but they gave me guys that will be here, and one of them lives in L.A., so we might go over his house."
GUSEPPE PUGLISI, Siracusa, Italy graduate student, said she would spend her Christmas with her boyfriend, in Lawrence.
"I don't feel particularly sad about not going home for Christmas and not being together. I can't be together Christmas anyway, she said, because her father will have to be away on Christmas
She said that last Christmas she bought a Greyhound Bus Ameripas and traveled through the Southwest on her own.
"I met people on the bus," she said. "Some of them were traveling like I was, but some were only going part of the way,"
Many foreign students plan to travel within the country during the holidays.
She had never been in that part of the United States before, so she decided that the vacation would be a good time to see the U.S.
AN FLEMING, Scotland junior, he was going to observe the architecture in several southern cities, including New Orleans and Atlanta.
"I'm in architecture," he said, "and first I'm here to see the architecture in the United States."
He said he would celebrate Christmas at a friend's home in St. Louis before the two of them headed south.
Miyuki Fugi, Giffi City, Japan, graduate student, plans to visit the eastern cities such as Washington, D.C. and Boston during the holidays. She said she had never traveled in that part of the country, where Christmas is celebrated white while Christmas is in snow New England.
FUGITA SAID she cannot go home because she is attending KU on a Rotary Scholarship that requires her to stay in the United States.
"We go to the shrine to pray for God, there is a big meal and all the family gets together," she said.
She said she especially would miss New Year's Day in Japan.
Flering also said he would miss New Year's Day the most. New Year's in Scotland is a popular holiday full of freezed celebration.
He told of the traditional Scottish party called "first footing."
"We start off with a bottle of whiskey," we go around to all our friend houses, and we take a threshold. At each house we have some more whiskey. This goes on until the next day.
