Fee release tops ASK attack plans
By PEGGY O'BRIEN
Staff writer
The release of almost $1 million in fees is the top priority for the Associated Students of Kansas in the next month, and members are mobilizing their lobbying forces to descend on the Kansas Legislature.
At a meeting last night in the Kansas Union, ASK directors from the University of Kansas outlined a strategy for students to persuade legislators to release $533,418 in excess fees, an amount that ASK thinks would meet KU's minimum needs.
The amount of a state Board of Regents school's state allocation is based on enrollment predictions.
When enrollment exceeds predictions, as KU's did last fall, the state receives the money from extra tuition fees.
Although ASK has five priority issues for this legislative session, its main concern is the passage of a bill that would release the fees.
Martie Aaron and Eddie Watson, KU's AK co-directors, outlined their strategy for getting this legislation passed. That strategy includes a mass campus petition drive, letter-writing campaigns and information tables in the Kansas Union and on Wesco Beach. The group also will blitz legislators with phone calls and personally lobby the "movers and shakers" in the Legislature, the directors said.
State looks for a cure for vaccine shortage
The Associated Press
TOPEKA - A statewide whooping cough outbreak, coupled with a national shortage of diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccine, has exhausted the Kansas Department of Health and Environment's supply of the vaccine.
Bob Moody, health and environment spokesman, said the agency was hoping local county health departments had enough DTP vaccine in stock to tide them over until the state could find a new supplier of the vaccine.
"We are out," Moody said of the vaccine. "We supply local county health departments, and we don't have any at all. Our problem was exacerbated by the pertussis outbreak we've had. Earlier this month,
we ran out of the vaccine, although most counties still have some on hand."
Moody said the agency normally distributed between 90,000 and 100,000 doses of the vaccine each year, or an average of 7,500 doses each month.
"The shortage problem is being dealt with in a number of states," Moody said. "I understand Iowa has no DTP vaccine, and Missouri is running low."
The state agency is exploring several ways of alleviating its shortage. It can negotiate with other states to acquire part of their inventories, change the immunization schedules, or seek congressional approval to begin distributing DTP vaccine it has stored in an emergency stockpile.
