Committee passes election rules bill
By Bonnie Snyder Of the Kansas staff
Students will vote for senators from their living groups as well as from their schools in the University if a bill that passed the Student Rights Committee last night passes the full Senate next Wednesday.
Of the Kansan staff
The bill would give living groups one-third of the representation in the Student Senate and leave the remaining two-thirds to the various schools of the University.
The committee had not planned to discuss the bill at last night's meeting. The meeting was originally called to finish debate on a nine-page proposal to restructure Senate meetings that the committee had begun discussing at their last meeting on Sept. 23.
According to current Senate rules, about one-tenth of the senators represent living groups.
Before the committee began discussion on the restructuring bill, it voted to create a subcommittee that would divide the bill into several smaller bills to be considered later. That move put the living group representation bill up for discussion.
The rest of the Senate, except for three senators who are held over from the previous senate and the student body president and vice president, consists of senators who are elected from the various districts. The senator for each school depends on the size of the school, but each school must have at least one senator.
The bill that the committee passed would give each living group no less than one senator and no more than ten representatives depending on the size of the living group.
on the number of students enrolled in each schoo
Among other things, the bill proposes that Senate meet weekly instead of twice monthly and limits meetings to two-and-a-half hours unless the Senate votes to extend the time limit.
Each school would then receive no less than two and no more than ten representatives depending
The authors of the bill, Martie Aaron, social welfare senator, and David Epstein, Nunemaker senator, said after the vote that it was unfair of the committee not to give the bill a hearing.
Aaron said the philosophy of the bill was to make Senate meetings more efficient.
Epstein said it wouldn't be the same bill after it was divided because it represented a philosophy, less than a philosophy.
in other action the committee voted to ask for a student referendum to change Student Senate elections from November to April. If passed in the Senate, the question would be put on the ballot for this fall's election.
2 HOPE nominees ask to be removed
By Bob Tinsley Of the Kansan staff
Two KU professors who were nominated for the HOPE Award announced in a prepared statement yesterday that they were removing their names from the list of nominees.
However, their withdrawal from the group of 12 semifinalists will not affect the outcome of the com-mission to honor the senior class secretary said yesterday.
Oxley said the remaining semi-finalists would be interviewed next week.
The two professors are John B. Bremner, Oscar S. Stauffer distinguished professor of journalism, who won the 1971 HOPE Award, and Calder M. Pickett, Clyde M. Reed distinguished professor of journalism, who won the HOPE Award in 1975.
"We are removing ourselves from consideration for the HOPE Award because we think that once is enough. This University has so many fine teachers who deserve this prestigious honor that we think a HOPE
winner should not be allowed to repeat," the statement said.
"Nevertheless, we are grateful to the students who nominated us and we shall continue to try to justify their appreciation of our teaching."
Three other professors from the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the ten seminalists who remain
Oxley said she approved of the professors' decision to withdraw.
"If they felt that way, it's nice of them to think that they should give it to someone else," she said.
The HOPE Award, Honor for Outstanding Progressive Educator, will be presented during the KU-Oklahoma State University football game Oct. 26 in Memorial Stadium.
The winner will receive a trophy and a $200 cash prize.
Next week's interviews for the 10 remaining nominees will be conducted by the Senior Committee. The committee is composed of seniors who responded to earlier advertisements or indicated that they wanted to participate when they completed their HOPE Award ballots.

Measles still a pox on college campuses
By Stefani Day Of the Kansan staff
Although no measles cases were reported in Kansas, the staff at Watkins Memorial Hospital is not taking any chances this year.
Measles — a disease long thought under control in the United States — made an appearance on campuses last spring, killing at least two students.
The hospital will give free vaccinations to students from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Oct. 14-18, in front of Wescoe Hall.
Anyone who has not been immunized for measles or who was
immunized before 1967 should get the vaccination, R.W. McClure, Watkins chief of staff, said yesterday.
"Most reports of measles are in college students," McClure said. "Although everyone is supposed to be immunized by getting shots, not everyone is. About 20 percent of the college population is probably not immunized."
education at Watkins, said the hospital's main goal was to educate the public that measles was a disease that still existed.
Individuals who were vaccinated before 1967 should be reimmunized, McClure said, because they may have contracted an altered virus. He there were cases of measles had occurred in people immunized before 1967
Lynn Heller, coordinator of health
She said many people thought measles had been eradicated, and therefore, many students had not been vaccinated.
"Weasles is still around," she said. "The need for immunization still exists."
"We have to deal with the potential that we could have a measles outbreak on camus."
school in Elsah, Ill., from measles or complications resulting from the disease.
Last spring, several campuses around the United States reported measles outbreaks. Two students died at the Christian Science Church
McClure said the outbreaks focused attention on measles as a real threat.
"Here we have a disease we think is preventable. Then to have someone get sick and die is really too bad," he said.
Heller said students who came to be immunized would have to read and sign a form that described what measles were, the side effects of the vaccine and who should receive the vaccination.
City staff gets ideas in Topeka
By Mike Snider Of the Kansan staff
TOPEKA - City staff took a "day off" yesterday and attended the 75th annual League of Kansas Municipalities Conference in Topeka.
City officials who attended the conference included city commissioners Howard Hill and Sandra Prueger, city manager Buford Watson, and assistant city manager Mike Wilden.
Watson said he tried to get his staff to the conference because they could get good ideas to help Lawrence.
"Lawrence is a dynamic community and we always try to improve and stay on the cutting edge of civic affairs." Watson said.
Today the league will consider changes in the group's policies about issues such as city annexation laws. Watson said this was an important issue because of large annexations taking place in Johnson County and Topeka. It is also important to Lawrence because the city must decide this month whether to annex the area known as Western Hills.
Watson said, "The problem with any annexation issue is that it's emotional and political. From the staff's standpoint, we believe there is an unannexed land and there should not be islands of unannexed land within the city."
"We believe that the city should proceed with the annexation of Western Hills, and it's appropriate to do so. It's good planning and it's good development. We do understand the emotions of the people involved and the political decision that has be made."
Walson said about 15 or 16 programs were conducted at the conference yesterday and he hoped that Lawrence officials who attended the conference would get some good ideas from the seminars.
Hill said his exposure to city officials from other parts of Kansas showed him that Lawrence officials were ahead on most ideas.
Hill attended the keynote speech yesterday morning by Mayor Henry Cisneros of San Antonio, Texas. Cisneros had been considered a candidate for Walter Mondale on the 1984 Democratic presidential ticket.
Cisneros told the municipal leaders at the conference that "some cities will be victimized and some will prosper. The difference rests on those who could be leaders ... who would accept the dictates and put forth a sense of optimism."
Hill said, "He was essentially saying 'chart your own course.' As I listened to him, I got the idea that he had said that those that has every chance to prosper."
Hill said he would probably meet with Watson at a later time to discuss ideas that he got at the conference.

Free tuition for study in Japan attracts senior
By Bengt Ljung Of the Kansan staff
John Tollefson, dean of business, said yesterday that Branda was the kind of person American business needed to turn around the trade deficit with Japan.
Tim Branda will leave Kansas City International Airport Thursday for an all-expenses-paid year in Japan.
The Japanese Ministry of Education will pay the bill for Branda, a Hays senior majoring in Japanese and business administration.
"His background will give him a unique position to develop a better understanding of his own life."
said. "One of the problems of the U.S. is that we haven't invested time and effort to understand the Japanese market."
Branda said, "American companies don't know the culture. When Japanese companies come here they learn English and study the society for years."
Tollefson said he visited Japan this summer and spoke to both American and Japanese business leaders. He said the businessmen saw bureaucratic impediments as part of the problem American companies have in Japan.
American companies need to analyze the market to avoid making the mistake of using cheap, lower-quality materials.
He said the Japanese were nervous about the American discontent with the trade deficit and the protectionist feelings it produced.
Tollison said Japan was twice as dependent on export trade as the United States.
Branda said he would attend Tsukuba University, 40 miles north of Tokyo, and would study Japanese language, history and sociology. His scholarship includes air fare, tuition and a monthly stipend of about $500 to pay for room and board.
Branda said the year would be a challenge. "I'll be on my own," he said. "It's not easy to be accepted in their society. They know you're not a native. But I hope to overcome that by
Brenda's interest in Japan got its start with a five-week-41 homestay program in 1980 when he stayed with a family in Japan. Since then, he has been fascinated by almost every aspect of Japanese culture and has said, He has had 30 hours of Japanese language classes and about 15 hours of Japanese culture.
This summer, Branda went to Thailand on another 4-H program. After four nights in Bangkok, the Thai government showed him the educational system in the poor province of Srisaket. He said his interest had broadened to include all of Asia.
