License plate bill to be heard
Amendments threaten mascot designs for Regents alumni

Kansan staff writer
Unless some legislators are willing to make concessions, Jayhawk license plates could get lost in the legislative shuffle.
A bill that would, among other things, allow alumni of Board of Regents schools to purchase license plates with the mascot and name of the school will be heard in a House of Representatives and Senate conference committee sometime next week.
The bill originally was introduced in the Senate to include only provisions for the alumni plates. However, when the bill moved to the House, it was amended to allow spouses of prisoners of war or other armed special plates for survivors of Pearl Harbor. Also, the House amended the bill to require
replacement of county designations that had been removed from current-issue license plates.
However, State Sen. Bill Morris, R-Wichita, chairman of the conference committee that will consider the bill, said that he would not support the bill with the House amendments.
"Unless the House agrees to take almost all of that other garbage out, the hill stands very little chance of passing out of committees," Morris said.
However, State Rep. Jeff Freeman, B-Rington, a member of the conference committee, said that he believed the amendments to remain in the bill.
"We're not about to act on the alumni tags unless some of these other provisions are included," Freeman said.
The alumni plates would be available only to alumni of the six Regents schools and Washburn University in Topeka.
B. J. Pattee, director of special projects and member assistance for the University of Kansas Alumni Association, said that preliminary sketches has been made of the plates did not want to release drawings.
She said that they would be just like a regular license plate but would have the mascot and the school name.
However, she said that no decision had been made on what type of plate would be used. She said a personalized-license plate style might be used.
"This is the part of detail that people wrestle with," Pattee said.
The bill is endorsed by the alumni association. Pattee said.

University Council approves requirements for red zone permits
Kansan staff writer
Some faculty and staff may find themselves unable to purchase red parking permits in the fall under a plan passed by the University Council yesterday.
By Rebecca J. Cisek
The Council voted 7-2 to approve the requirements for the purchase of red parking permits. If approved by the executive vice chancellor and chancellor, only faculty and
stuff whose age and years of service equals 25 would be able to purchase the red permits.
Blue permits, reserved for the most senior faculty and staff, allow parking closest to campus buildings. Red and yellow permits allow parking progressively farther away from campus buildings.

Andy Torres, professor of botany and a member of the parking board, said that the requirements would reduce the competition
spaces would make a difference
yM, 12 people. Mel Dunbick, presiding officer of the Council and University Senate, said that passing the legislation could mean setting a precedent people might regret. Although the legislation age limit was 25 for the fall, that number could grow to 30 and 40 in future years he said.
"Why not restructure the system instead of going to an arbitrary cutoff?" he asked.
going to be able to use brown zones.
Dubnick said that he wanted a return to the faculty and staff spaces that were labeled red and brown five years ago. Brown permit zones used to be located between the red and yellow zones.
dave Downing, professor of aerospace engineering, questioned whether the elimination of 29 people from competition for the red
"It itseems that we are giving only lip service to the problem for next year," he said.
to the problem next year, 'he said'
Sharon Bass, associate professor of journalism, disagreed with Dubnick's request for the addition of brown permit spaces.
"There still would be the same number of spaces and the same crowding," she said. "It's not the colors that are the problem."
