ASK to support work-study
By a Kansan reporter
Putting more money into state work-study programs will be the first priority for the Associated Students of Kansas when the group lobbies the Kansas Legislature in January.
The ASK legislative assembly met Nov. 21 at Epcora State University to plan its 1984 platform. Six KU students attended the assembly.
Other lobbying priorities are expanding the State Scholarship program, re-establishing a teacher scholarship program, creating a merit-based aid program by supporting the Kansas Board of Regents'
Distinguished Scholarship Program, increasing money available for student jobs and publishing a guide to higher education for high school students.
Gilpin said the platform included most of KU's issues.
Brian Glipin, KU's ASK director, said ASK organizations from each school made a list of the issues their school wanted to include in the state ASK platform.
"What we wanted to get on got on," he said, "and the things we didn't support didn't get on."
He said that issues, such as teacher
evaluations and bills affecting residency requirements, passed committees but were not adopted by the full assembly.
The next ASK legislative assembly will probably be at Washburn University in February, Gilpin said, and the last one for this school year will be at the University of Kansas in April.
ASK serves seven Kansas schools: the university of Kansas, Emporia State University, Fort Hays-State University, Kansas State University, Pittsburg State University, Wichita State University and Washburn University.

TOPEKA - Violent crime in Kansas has risen 9.6 percent during the first nine months of 1985, including a 41.7 percent increase in murders, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation reported yesterday.
The number of murders in the state has increased from 60 in the first nine months of 1984 to 85 during the same period this year, according to the statistics compiled by 280 local law enforcement agencies and released by KBI Director Thomas E. Kelly. In addition, the number of raps was up by 8.6 percent, from 514 during the first three quarters of 1984 to 558 through this September. Robberies also were up 9.2 percent, from 1,282 to 1,400, and aggravated assaults increased 9.3 percent, from 4,204 to 4,596.
Violent crime increases 9.6%
However, property crimes — burglary, larceny and vehicle theft — remained nearly constant with last year's figures, increasing from 72,409 to 72,418. Kelly said the third quarter of 1985 was the first time in 14 consecutive quarters that the number of property crimes did not decrease.
Because property crimes far outnumber violent crimes, the overall crime rate increased only 0.8 percent through September compared with the first three quarters of 1984.
Burglaries increased 1.9 percent,
from 13,818 at the same time last
year to 19,167 this year and vehicle thefts are up 4.7 percent, from 3,784 to 3,961.
Highlights of the nine-month survey included:
The number of murders in Johnson County have nearly tripled — from four during the nine-month period last year to 11 this year — and more than doubled in Sedgwick County, from 10 to 22. Murders increased from four to five in Shawnee County while they decreased from 19 to 13 in Wvandotte County.
Hays, with a 69.4 percent increase, registered the most dramatic rise in crime among Kansas' 34 largest cities.
