substances that had entered a person's system more than a month earlier.
Schroeder also said there were not many laws governing the use of drug tests by employers.
"Right now we're seeing a lot of publicity in drug testing generally," Schroeder said.
She said the amount of attention the problem was receiving could produce some laws concerning the use of tests.
Barbara Alifano, Minneapolis, Minn., senior, said she thought drug tests were OK for athletes and people working in jobs where they could endanger other people but she wasn't sure it was a good idea for people working other jobs.
She said she would submit to a test if she were applying for a job.
Janet Campion, Overland Park senior, said she thought drug tests didn't violate a person's rights because drugs were illegal anyway.
Mark Zieman, a 1983 KU graduate, was recently hired as a reporter by the Kansas City Star. The publisher of the Star and the Kansas City Times, Capital Cities/ABC Inc., recently dropped plans to have the building searched with drug-sniffing dogs and to have all new employees tested for drugs.
Organizers of Jehan Sadat's visit to the University invited her in hopes that some stereotypes would be dispelled by her speech on Wednesday.

Sadat's widow to speak about women
Sadat, the widow of Anwar Sadat, the late president of Egypt, will speak at 7:30 p.m. in Hoch Auditorium. Doors will open at 7 p.m.
The president of the International Club, who asked Sadat to come, said he got the idea at the

blacking.
He consulted with some other groups on the choice of speakers and then invited Sadat.
El-shoubary received donations from Student Senate, which contributed $6,500, Student Union Activities, the political science
department, the women's studies program, Joseph R. Pearson Hall. Association of University Residence Halls, McCollum Hall, Ellsworth Hall and Templin Hall. The groups have worked together to organize the event.
Sadat will donate her fee to the Sadat Foundation in Washington, D.C., according to El-shoubary.
The topic of Sadat's speech will be "Women in the Middle East."
"It will be very nice to have some firsthand information," said Carol Coburn, an assistant instructor.
Coburn, who is a member of the committee that organized the event, said the women's studies department was interested in getting ideas and information
tor in women's studies. "Mrs. Sadat has been actively involved in Egypt with women's issues."
Sadat headed the Egyptian delegation to the International Women's Conference in Mexico City in 1975. She also pushed a new civil rights law through the Egyptian parliament that gave more rights to women and more security
to the family. She was elected chairman of her village council for five consecutive years.
A panel of five faculty members and students will ask two questions each after Sadat's speech.
The panel members will be Clifford Ketzel, professor of political science; Karlyn Kohrs-Campbell, professor of communication studies; Aly Karam of the Egyptian Club; Drew Blossom, president of AURH, and Amy Brown, student body vice president.
Smoking petition snuffed out
The Associated Press
TOPEKA - Sponsors are dropping a petition signed by six members of the Capitol press corps asking the Kansas Legislature to ban smoking in the state capital building except in certain specified areas.
The Wichita Eagle-Beacon said the signings prompted ethical questions about the reporters' attempt to influence legislation at the same time they were assigned to report on the Legislature.
The three Associated Press
newsmen who signed the petition withdrew their names Thursday. The two newsmen who had circulated the petition, Dale Goter of Harris News Service, and Bill Vogrin of the AP, said the petition effort would be allowed to die.
Paul Stevens, head of AP news operations in Kansas and Missouri, said the AP reporters removed their names from the petition because the petition appeared to place them in the role of lobbyists.
Goter said the petition was never presented as an official request.
"It was drafted and shown to one legislator and discussed," he said.
"The status of this 'legislation' is as an idea, on paper, on a desk in a Capitol press room. Period."
"I don't think there's a conflict of interest on matters of personal health and the right to a smokefree workplace."
Vogrin said, "There was no petition officially filed, no lobbying, no bill written and no conflict of interest."
Wages
Continued from p. 1
Tuition at the University of Kansas has risen 36 percent since 1982, but the minimum wage has remained at $3.35 and hour.
Ed Mills, manager of the Lawrence Job Service Center, said wages remained low because of supply and demand. Because a number of students are willing to work for the minimum wage, businesses have no reason to pay more.
Weinberg agreed, saying,
"Employers in Lawrence know that
all they have to do is advertise and
they will have a sizable pool of applicants."
Despite the sometimes low wages, the number of students employed in Lawrence has increased. Mills said the total number of employed people in Douglas County jumped from 20,600 in Oct.1984 to 30,100 in Oct.1985.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said the University was doing whatever it could to meet the financial needs of students.
Much has been accomplished in the last few years in the area, he said.
