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;

- 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;
- 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 residency requirement from one year to six months for out-of-state 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;
ASK's Boh Bingaman said that almost every legislator he talked to this week wanted to know what ASK's position would be on such a bill.
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."

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.
- Proposed increases in the maximum amount of federal funds available for school-related expenses; proposed bill increase the number of scholarships available to students at state colleges.
Bingam said he expected a bill to be introduced, but that he didn't know when it would pass. If the bill a bill would be determined by the Legislative Assembly when it meets in
According to the bill's sponsor, State Rep John Sobach, D-Lawrence, the amendment would give a tenant an easy legal means to move and move without agreement or with state health and building codes, if the landlord refused to make necessary improvements within a certain period.
- A proposed 100 percent fee waiver for graduate teaching assistants.
Landlords would not be liable for anything not already included in the existing act, Solbach said, and only necessary repairs could be made.

Children scramble for favorite toys
By BONNIE DUNHAM
Twas 24 days before Christmas and the discount store echoed with shouts from begging children. Visions of Infant Softie Love, Bad Marsh and Card Vadder doles had replaced sugarpans. Only those strapped in infant carriers maintained
The store intercom made a request: "Any available staff to the check-out stand."
Stand.
It was Christmas time in Lawrence.
"The aisles are a shambles for a month before Christmas and we have to reduce them," Ms. Barrasso said of the clerk clark. "The parents let them loose in the toy department while they are shopping."
Kids climbed over stuffed animals that had topped from shelves and raced Hot Wheels down the aisles. On chubby little toys, she placed the floor pounding on a Shorty Toyter toy.
A YOUNG GIRL made claims for a Baby Wet and Care, grabbed her mother and shouted, "I want one of those."
And there was Todd, whose parents patiently presented toys for his consideration. In one swoop he pushed the medium-sized Tokaki truck and lingered for the biggest one on the shell. The day's repaired "I wanted one of these,"
His father nodded and replied, "Yea,
I know I wanted Santy Claus to bring me one
of those, too. May be for Christmas."
A LONE GRAY-HAIRED woman stacked three identical dress-dressed blouses and one pink plastic doll strimmer to her cart. Before she headed for the check-out line, she passed and then added three balls of flour before he could be enough to make the children happy?
Toyland, toyland, the peddler had just opened his pack. The bins were stuffed and the counters loaded.
of the toys will fit into a miniature leaver or a $1.08 stocking hung with care. Certainly the plastic machine gum was too large. Its stache soaked up water and tested to another.
The small blond girl, dressed all in pink, held the gun on her shoulder and aimed at her little friend.
"Put the banjo down and put 'em up or I'll shoot you. See it can have real bullets," she said.
The friend grabbed her own plastic shotgun and answered, "They aren't real bullets."
Like pros, they counted off and paced four steps away from each other, turned and "fired."
A wink of the eye and a twist of Saint Nick's head will not dismiss the dread. Might as well settle down for a long winter's nap.
