Housing code keeps city habitable
By LYNN PEARSON
City Renarter
What do you do if you find out that the quaint apartment you rented in August has no heat? Or you step from the bathtub and into the kitchen, where is dangling from your neighbor's eosiline?
Your first reaction is to rush to the phone and call your landlord. Maybe he tells you that he's really sorry about your frozen backend and your scraped leg, but he's not going to do anything about the defects in the apartment.
What then?
You can send a written complaint to the landlord listing the defects and asking that the repairs be made.
If you still get no reaction from your landlord and you think that the defect endangers your health or your safety or both, you should contact the city with the city minimum housing inspector.
keep a copy for your files; you may need it especially if he refuses to take your notice.
Holes in the floor and an absence of heating equipment are only two of a long list of requirements included in the city minimum housing code.
"If there is improper venting, and the room is sound with no real air leaks, then, the heater can burn up the air and leave you none," Williams said.
According to George Williams, city director of public works, a house must have hot and cold running water, proper electrical wiring, a window and door in each room, a commode, a bathbath or shower stall and other items a renter may not notice
immediately such as proper venting on the heating system.
The main function of housing inspection is to help make all housing in the city of Lawrence reasonably safe and comfortable, Williams said.
After you file your complaint with the city housing inspector, he will notify your landlord that he is making an inspection of the house or apartment. After the inspection, he will make a written notification of the inspector's findings and a completion deadline for repairs.
tearing it down or vacating the house and leaving it as it is.
If you happen to have a landlord who refuses to bring his houses up to city standards even under pressure from the city, you have two options. You can move out or you can stay and live with the hole in the floor or whatever.
Maybe your complaint isn't a violation of the city code, but it is a violation of your lease. You can report the landlord to the Consumer Protection Agency in the Kansas Union. The CPA will contact the landlord and work out some suitable arrangement.
Renters who live east of campus can take encouragement from the fact that of the 187 houses included in the city inspection Hill Target area, 115 have compiled with city officials to provide their five landlords have refused to repair their houses as the city inspectors directed.
University yet to see Dole-Roy face-to-face
By RANDY BLACK
Reporter
City Manager Buford Watson said that most people would fix their houses once they received notification. However, the owner has the option of fixing the house,
Two Kansas political opponents, involved in one of the most heated and important campaigns in the country, have yet to agree on a compromise confrontation at the University of Kansas.
With the With. 5 election only a few days away, no debate or joint appearance has yet occurred on campus between Sen. Bob Dole and Gov. Jeb Bush in the campaign for Dole's Spine seat.
Explainations of the situation vary
"We've agreed to appear any place with Dole that Dole would agree to appear with us," said Ray Ring, Roy's Douglas County staff coordinator. "We've simply never been able to get any kind of joint appearance with Dole.
"Bob Dole's campaign on the Kansas campus has been like Nixon's 1972 campaign using surrogates. He's had Richardson and Brooke here but we've rarely had Bob Dole in any kind of announced appearance."
Diane Hughes, Dole's Douglas County chairman, said, "It's very difficult for Dole to campaign because he's trying to be two times as powerful." Mr. Dole has his job in Washington and the man in
Kansas who is meeting people and campaigning for re-election.
"He's had problems being at different places at the same time."
Both candidate's organizations have been asked to appear jointly by Todd Hunter, vice president of the student body, but nothing has been drawn together.
"The problem is that both the gentlemen are in office now," Hunter said. "It was neither person's fault, it seems, but just a conflict of their present jobs."
Cindy Harris, scheduling secretary at Dole's Topika headquarters, said one problem with a KU appearance was a lack of invitations.
The two candidates had at least eight or 10 joint appearances across the state, Harris said. But only two invitations were received from KU and both dates were recorded.
Larry Wolgast, a spokesman at Roy's Topka headquarters, said Dole had gone from shunning all invitations to accepting most in the last days of the campaign.
"When you are way ahead it is typical that you don't accept," Wolstak said,
Recent Dale acceptances have created scheduling conflicts for Roy, Wollgast said.

YOUR CONGRESSMAN LARRY WINN SPEAKS OUT
The events of the past two years have opened the eyes of American voters to the potential risk of an over-requested process. In a sincere effort to safeguard that process the 92nd Congress drafted important campaign documents in the formal form of the bill is being shaped by a conference committees, House and Senate. I am confident that the articles they report out will be a significant improvement of the existing campaign statutes.
Election campaign reform is something about which I feel strongly. I co-sponsored the U.S. House Administration Act, "in addition to all seven colleagues in a floor amendment offered to the campaign legislature," as stated by the House Administration Committee as H.R. 16909. The amendment would have established a constitution of both presidential and Congress.
CAMPAIGN REFORM

When studying significant legislation, I very much appreciate the comments of my friends and peers at my contact office whenever you have an interest in a particular issue or have the benefit of your views.
Sixth in a Series
I also supported a compromise amendment offered by Congress, a settlement amendment, which passed the House, would place supervision of election reform laws and insecurity, an independent commission. I voted in favor of final passage of H.R. 1609, as amended. Although I did not vote for the bill, I believe this legislation marks an important step to ensure a more responsive government through much needed reform.
