Group wants bartenders licensed
By KAREN SAMELSON
Waitresses and bartenders will need licenses to serve alcohol if the Kansas Liquor Law Review Commission gets its way.
The commission, which has studied existing liquor laws as well as carrying out the recently approved liquor by-the-drink amendment, will make recommendations on the licenses when it makes its final report. State Rep. Robert Miller, R-Wellington, a member of the commission, said yesterday.
Miller said the commission would suggest that waitresses and bartenders earn their licenses by attending courses that discuss liquor laws and what to do with intoxicated customers.
The commission has studied liquor laws since 1858, when the Legislature voted to put liquor-by-the-drink on the ballot.
Thursday and Friday, the 13 members, including legislators and
representatives of the liquor industry, discussed the constitutional amendment, which passed with about 60 percent of the votes Nov. 4.
The commission will give final approval to the recommendations Dec. 3 and will give its findings to Mike Havden, governor-elect, in January.
State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., RLawrence, predicted that interest groups would fight over the provisions of the bill to carry out the amendment.
"Interim committee recommendations don't have a very good track record," he said, so changes might be made along the way.
"It's a starting point, but by no means is the battle over," Winter said. "It's just begun."
As expected, Miller said, the commission will recommend that the state allow private clubs in the 36 counties that approved the amendment to drop the membership requirements. However, the clubs must at least 30 percent of their
"I'm pretty comfortable that that's what the Legislature will adopt," said Miller, chairman of the House Federal and State Affairs Committee.
receipts from food sales.
Legally, the state could increase the minimum to 50 percent, which is required now for reciprocal private clubs, which honor other clubs' cards.
The review commission also will recommend eliminating reciprocity provisions in wet and dry counties, Miller said.
The state has permitted reciprocity as a way of getting around the liquor laws, Miller said, but when liquor by the drink becomes legal, those loopholes won't be needed.
Owners of private clubs in wet counties still may choose to stay private.
John Lamb, director of the division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, predicted that some of the nonreciprocating clubs would go out of
business because people would prefer to eat at restaurants where they wouldn't have to hassle with club memberships.
Lamb said most of the private clubs that didn't reciprocate did not meet the 50-percent requirement.
To make enforcement easier in another segment of liquor laws, the commission will recommend that new laws be made to vate clubs be abolished, Miller said.
In the 36 counties that passed the liquor-by-the-drink amendment, 358 private clubs reciprocate and 465 don't, Lamb said. In Douglas County, 10 clubs reciprocate and 16 don't, he said.
The commission also will recommend allowing stores selling 3.2 beer to sell stronger beer, which now is sold only in liquor stores. Because the minimum drinking age will increase to 21 on July 1, 1987, the law won't distinguish between the beer that 20-year-olds and 21-year-olds can purchase. Miller said.
Coalition calls loan program illegal
By PAM MILLER
The Initiative coalition charged last night that a Cheers coalition platform issue might be illegal under Kansas banking law.
Student body presidential and vice presidential candidates debated for the fifth and last time yesterday at Templin Hall.
Betsy Bergman and Stephanie Quincy, presidential and vice-presidential candidates for the Initiative coalition, faced Brady Stanton and Kelly Militan, candidates for the Cheers coalition.
Bergman and Quincy said that the short-term loan program proposed by the Cheers coalition cannot be immediately put into action because Kansas banking laws prohibit it.
Stanton's and Milligan's proposal would start a
lending system within the Student Senate so that a student could receive a no-interest loan of $15 to $100 for a $1 service fee. The money loaned would come from $5,000 of unallocated Senate funds.
Quincy read a section of a Kansas statute from the Kansas banking laws thatsaid if the Senate loaned money, in the way that Stanton and Milligan propose, the Senate would have to be certified as a bank. The certification process would take at least eight months.
If Student Senate was not certified as a bank before it began giving loans, the Senate would be illegally lending money and could be fined heavily, she said.
Milligan said his coalition would cheek to see whether they were running into banking laws, and he was sure that they could solve the problem.
Milligan and Stanton said they were unaware of the law, before the debate.
The two plan to run again in April, regardless of whether they are elected next week.
The next Student Senate election and all those after it will be in April, according to current Senate rules.
Milligan said after the debate that he had an appeal pending on the suspension and said that he thought it was "cheap" to bring the fact into the debate, because the issues were more important.
"They should have known before they came here that this is illegal," Bergman said of Cheers' loan proposal.
Bergman and Quincy also said that Milligan was suspended from the University Council last week for absences from meetings.
Anything's the topic at the HDFL Forum
Staff writer
"There's nothing like it on campus," Yvonne Caldera, New Orleans, La., graduate student and one of the coordinators of the Human Development and Family Life Forum, said yesterday.
Anything.
"Topics are not limited to issues related to HDFL," she said. "We discuss topics from many different disciplines."
"The forum is a place for people of many different disciplines to meet and share their research, data or just an idea," Caldera said. "In a very relaxed atmosphere, we discuss all kinds of topics. It's a very supportive group."
By CRAIG HERRMANN
A group of about 30 people meet in Haworth Hall at 3 p.m. every Thursday to discuss anything.
The forum, sponsored by the human development and family life department, was formed last year for HDFL students as a place to share their research with other HDFL students. Caldera said.
Topics that already have been scheduled for the remainder of the fall semester range from the thinking processes of rats and other animals to reliability and statistics. Caldera said.
This year, Caldera said she and fellow forum coordinator, Rob Ober, Farmington, Mich., graduate student, decided to open the forum to anyone who wished to share research or ideas with others.
The diverse backgrounds of the people who attend or give presentations make the forums special, she said, because of the interaction of ideas.
Education, sociology, psychology and anthropology are among the disciplines represented by the people who have attended the forum, Caldera she. Said she from five to nearly 30 people attend each forum.
Fabricio Balcazar, Bogota, Colombia, graduate student, said he would use the forum to practice his dissertation defense.
"We started sending flyers to departments other than HDFL," she said. "We thought it would be interesting to get a variety of views and opinions at the discussions."
"A person might want to tell the group about a possible research idea just to get a reaction," she said. "The feedback from a group of people with so many different backgrounds can be very helpful to the researcher."
Caldera said the forums also were a place to test new ideas.
"It's a formal but non-threatening environment." Balcazar said of the forum. "It's a place for me to be among peers and get input and feedback on the research I'm doing."
The forum is also good, Balecar said, because it allows him to share his work with many others, something not normally possible with dissertations.
Baleazar said he hoped he would get new ideas for his defense before he made his official presentation Nov. 21.
"Formal dissertations are not normally advertised like the forums are," he said.

Kansas City recorded a 19 percent increase in major crime during the previous year, and police say 60 percent of the crime is related to drug and alcohol abuse.
Officials said the goal of the program is to use skills and resources that are in place but are being ignored.

PARSONS — Union Pacific Railroad will abandon the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad line between Parsons and Fort Scott if its $110 million purchase of MKT, better known as the Katy., is approved.
"The goal is to demonstratively reduce the crime rate in Kansas City, specifically as it relates to alcohol and drugs." the mayor said.
Chris Putsche, Katy general superintendent for transportation, said the route would be abandoned after the merger was completed.
Union Pacific plans to submit its merger operating plan to the ICC Friday
The railroad would first have to apply to the Interstate Commerce Commission for permission to abandon the line, Putsche said.
The Katy currently operates one train a day each way on the Parsons-Fort Scott route and two trains a day each way on alternate days, Putsche said.
