Anti-hazing bill fails to pass House
By Mark Siebert Staff writer
Anti-hazing legislation failed to pass the Kansas House on Friday, but the bill's sponsor has vowed to resurrect the measure during the final week of the legislative session.
Senate Majority Leader Paul Burke, R-Leawood, said yesterday that he planned to tack the proposed hazing law onto a House bill when it came through the Senate for approval.
Even if the amendment fails to gain approval this session, Burke
said he would not drop the issue.
"I'll keep bringing it up as long as I'm here." Burke said.
The House defeated the bill that would have made it illegal to participate in an act that created a substantial risk of causing physical harm or serious mental harm in someone with the activities of a student organization.
Hazing violators would be subject to up to $2,500 fine, one year in jail, or both.
Judiciary Committee. The committee eliminated a section of the bill that designated who could be the target of a hazing lawsuit.
Drastic changes were made in the legislation Tuesday by the House
The original bill said any director, trustee or officer who authorized or commanded the hazing could be the person responsible for civil action suit for injury or damage.
Burke said, "It's definitely watered down, but sometimes progress comes in very small chunks."
University and student officials, who at first opposed the legislation, said they supported the legislation
Erik Hansen, president of the KU Intrafragrence Council said, "Once they had changed it, it would have been fine with me."
after the ambiguities concerning who would be the target of a hazing lawsuit were cleared up.
Opponents of the bill originally feared that alumni would no longer want to serve on fraternity or sorority boards if they could be implicated in a hazing lawsuit.
Hansen, a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon, 1911 Stewart St., said he thought students were becoming
more aware of the hazing issue
"More people are going to be willing to speak out about it," he said. "The guys that are coming into houses aren't going to put in with it."
Hansen said the IFC was planning to draft its official stance on hazing and would send it around to the various houses next fall.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said he thought there were enough laws on the books to cover hazing violations. But he said an anti-hazing law would act as somewhat of a deterrent.
KU budget for 1987 gets cut in committee
Bv Mark Siebert
Staff writer
TOPEKA — A Kansas House committee trimmed the University of Kansas' proposed $185-million fund for fiscal 1987 by about $3.2 million Friday, but one committee member said the cuts were less than they could have been.
State Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence, member of the House Ways and Means Committee, said the changes were only minor compared to the committee's cuts for the Board of Regents budget on systemwide issues.
"It was a lot better than what could have happened," Solbach said. "A subcommittee threatened to cut all the programs."
The committee passed the budget recommendation on a voice vote and sent it to the House floor for discussion and a vote this week.
On Thursday, the committee voted to cut back the Regents' budget by $13.2 million, deleting the increases recommended by the Senate when it passed its version of the budget March 26.
The Regents schools are the six state universities and the Kansas Technical Institute in Salina.
On the Record
If budgets passed by the House and Senate do not concur, a conference committee consisting of legislators from both chambers will be appointed to work out a compromise.
About $3 million deleted from the KU budget reflected the cuts made in the Regents system as a whole. The money would have gone to classified employees.
The only large cut made in the KU budget specifically was the removal of $100,528 and two faculty positions that would have financed
a science instrumentation laboratory.
A subcommittee had recommended a $255,400 cutback in the University's out-of-state travel expenses, but the committee voted to include the money in its final proposal.
The committee's proposal also includes a recommendation that legislation be introduced that would authorize the transfer of KU property on West Campus to the Kansas University Endowment Association.
In exchange, the Endowment Association would transfer land near Memorial Stadium to the University.
