Group says no nukes is good nukes Massachusetts voters to decide fate of plan
The Associated Press
BOSTON — a multimillion-dollar battle is being waged in Massachusetts over a binding referendum that could produce the nation's first voter mandated shutdown of nuclear power plants.
Voters will decide on Nov. 8 whether to ban "the continued power of electric power by commercial nuclear power plants in the commonwealth by means which would deplete of nuclear waste" after July 4, 1988.

called Citizens Against the
Shutdown Initiative, outspending
the government.
Anti-nuclear activists collected more than 120,000 signatures to qualify the referendum for the November election. They are in Oregon, Maine and California.
A poll by the Boston Globe in late September of 619 registered voters said that 49 percent opposed the ban and 14 percent were undecided.
The measure, if adopted, would force the shutdown of Boston Edison 650 MW plant in Plymouth — a 16-year旧 plant closed for the past 2½ years requiring nearly $400 million in funding improvements after the Nuclear Regulatory Commission rated it one of the nation's worst-run nuclear plants.
Boston Edison, confident that it has corrected problems at Pilgrim, has been able to restart the plant. Massachusetts officials are still concerned about the problems at Pilgrim.
The stale's other nuclear plant, Yankee Electric College's station, is also closed but could also be closed by the referendum. Though relatively small and with a good operating record, it is the oldest operating nuclear station in the country.

7:30 a.m. classes evoke diverse reactions
The pre-dawn campus is eerily quiet, and the night air is still moist.

Angela Cushman agreed that 7:00 a.m. was not the optimal time to be in class.
"I'm always up at late night, and that extra hour makes a big difference," said Cushman, a French man.
But some students are more good-natured about taking classes in those early-morning hours.
"I took a 7:30 class on purpose," said Jeff Williams, a former high school teacher. "I had morning, and I have the rest of the morning to study."
Kathy Comfort, Lawrence graduate teacher assistant, said she agreed that many students like classes

Mary Wagner, Smith Center junior, said she had had biscintiom before and had requested the 7:00 m. class on Friday.
"He's a good teacher and gets the class really motivated." Warner said.
According to the Fall 1988 Timetable, the Lawrence campus offers 44 sections of 7:30 a.m. classes. English 101, foreign languages, introductory math classes and science laboratories are common at that time.
Robert Spires, scheduling officer and chairman of the Spanish department, said that because of increased demand for classes and lack of classroom departments were forced to schedule classes at off-hours.
"We have 7:30 classes because we can't get classrooms at prime times to meet our needs." Spires said. Introductory Spanish classes usually close halfway through summer orientation, Spires said.
"Given that, students know that they are lucky to get the classes at all," he said.

Two grievances filed for campaign actions
By a Kansan reporter
Two separate complaints were filed against the winning coalition in the Freshman Class Officers elections last week.
Diversity, a losing coalition, and vice-president candidate and Tulsa, Okla. freshman, filled written complaints against Thumbs
Diversity filed a complaint stating that Thumbs up placed a banner outside Strong Hall that didn't clearly state "paid for by the Thumbs Up" equation. "Senior员工" fined Thumbs up $100 for its error.
After the $10 fine, Thumbs Up had spent about $94 of its funds, Jann said.
Each coalition was given a budget of $120, said Bobby Jannin, senior class president. The budget for each coalition is based on purposes, but payment of any fines leved against the coalition also comes out of the fund. Had it not been so, the $120 limit all of its coalition would have had to resign.
McIntosh's complaint about campaign boundaries was declared invalid by the senior class officers.
McNish told, "We were given the privilege of being paired with doft of the ballot box. We were also told not to hand out the Jawahk and Strang's ballots."
"Thumbs Up handed them out in front of the steps (of Strong)."
One ballot box was in the Strong Hall rotunda, and another was in the Kansas Union.
Jann said that McIntosh must have misunderstood statements regarding the appropriate areas to campaign.
"I said that they couldn't campain within 30 feet of the polls," said Joshua. "The boundary was the Jayhawk. Actually, the steps were the prop
