4 Monday, June 26, 1978 University Daily Kansan Kansans protest nuclear plant BY BRAD H. HAMILTON Staff Writer BURLINGTON—About 750 people yesterday protested the construction of the Wolf Creek nuclear generating station near Burlington. If we don't get it stopped peacefully, then we will take up arms. William Egidy, a soldier from the French Resistance, said: I've never done anything more important for myself and my children to accomplish. The demonstration, held at the dam on John Redmond Reservoir, was part of an ongoing effort to block the construction, which started in 1973 when the Kansas Gas and Electric Co. of Wichita and the Kansas Light Co. began acquiring land for the station. At that time, concerned residents of the Burlington area formed the Wolf Creek Nuclear Opposition group to fight the station's construction. THEIR FIGHT failed and, according to Mary Ellen Sailas, leader of the group, the attack was a tactic she had learned. The people lost their land and gave up. Salvaiva said — "They felt downsidden hot." The demonstration was sponsored by the Sunflower Alliance, which is a coalition of farmers. According to Egidy, the turnout was larger than at previous demonstrations. "Most people around here feel you can't stop the plant because it's the government," he said. "But this is the biggest rally I've seen so far." Easily said the protesters were committed to stepping the station. the demonstration featured several speakers and some groups that sang songs The demonstration was attended by several families who had fought to keep their land and loat. The station, which will take up their land, is in command, forces the station to give up their land. Another farmer, Parl Lance, was allowed to keep his buildings but had to relinquish them. One family recently had to move its dairy operation to make way for the station. State Sen. John Simpson, R-Salina, said that much of the hand to be used for the ball was a left-hand hand. He said that as a result of the Wolf Creek project, the Kansas Legislature established a committee to control the emissions of power company could not build a station. THEY HAVE enough land to build a second plantation. Shipman said this was their from doing it for them. Francis Blaufuss, an area farmer and self-proclaimed nuclear danger expert, said he had challenged several power companies to public debates but none had accepted his views. Bluairass the crowd that the group would continue to protest 'until the power is gone' "Before the snow flies the Wolf Creek project will be stopped," he said. As he spoke, Blaufass held a tiny girl in his arms, saying, "If they build this plant, this girl will be dead in 40 years from cancer as sure as I'm standing here." Simpson said he hoped to develop strong laws concerning storage of waste products. Diane Tegmeier, a sunflower Alliance member, said that one problem with the station was that it took thousands of years for the waste products to deactivate and that there was no way to properly dispose of them. "We ARE trusting future generations to guard something we don't know how to handle." The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will not allow a nuclear plant to be built within 50 miles of an area populated by 25,000 people or more. Engine failure suspected as cause of plane crash Authorities said the two contestants, Dorothy Birdsong, Temple Terrace, Fla. and Ethel Gibson, St. Petersburg, Fla., both were apparently experiencing engine failure. OLATHE (UP1) - Engine failure has been tentatively listed as the cause of a plane crash near Olathe yesterday that injured two contestants in the second annual Air "They departed from Casper, Wyo., this morning," McAnally said, "and flew by the North Platte, Neb, stop and planned on landing in Olathe." GIBSON WAS taken to the University of Kansas Medical Center, where she was listed in serious condition in the intensive care unit with undetermined injuries. Birdson, who authorities said was listed as the plot in the annual race, was in stable but serious condition last night at the Shawnee Mission Medical Center. She underwent surgery to treat a fracture, a fractured wrist and trouble lacerations and contusions. "They had made one approach to land," A spokesman for the Johnson County Sheriff's office said the plane, a single-engine six-passenger Beechercraft, crashed shortly before 11 a.m. RECREATION TENNIS TOURNAMENTS Drop-in Tourney: Drop Sat, July 8&22-9:00 am, Robinson Tennis Courts Singles Tourney: Singles Tourney: June 27-29, (Tues-Thur) Entry Deadline: Mon.,June 26 by 5:00 pm Rm 208 Robinson RECREATION SERVICES FUJI FILM NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD.

Authorities said they did not know which woman was the pilot of the airplane at the crash. The spokesman said the crash occurred about three or four miles from the airport. BIRDSONG IS listed by the race sponsors, Hughes Airwest, as a commercial pilot with 2,532 hours of flying time. She had flown in seven powder-puff derbies, which preceded the Air Race Classic, and had made a forced landing during the 1968 race. 1107 Massachusetts Gibson is a private pilot with 87 hours of flying time. She is a member of the Flying Nurses Association. She had participated in seven puffer-duff derbies. The 79 women pilots in the second race left Las Vegas. Saturday, and were scheduled to fly to San Francisco. She said that the companies were building the station out in the country because they would get too much opposition from an urban area. ACCORDING TO Tegtmeier, many people are joining the fight against the project because they sympathize with area residents.

Brooke's wife, Remigia, must tell the Middlesex Probate Court today whether she wants a new divorce TICO Iowa Mrs. Brooke was offered the option of a new trial after Brooke admitted making misstatements about his work in the original proceeding last year. Brooke's wife to decide on new divorce trial The Boston Globe reported yesterday another allegation about Brooke's finances. A close associate of Brooke says that Brooke has complete ownership of a Carribbean land corporation, although it owns only 38 percent of it, the newspaper said. JOHN BOTTOMLY, an assistant attorney general when Brooke was state attorney general, and a supplemental agreement between Brooke and Toronto businessman Norman Cohen listed Cohen's interest as 61 percent in the 30- acre property on the island of St. Martin, the newspaper said. "Although Brooke says it is Cohen who put in most of the money for the land, it is Cohen who gets the documents on file in Massachusetts and St. Martin as the directing force in the case." Why all the stock was listed in Brooke's name, making him the owner of record, when Cohen allegedly financed 61 percent of the land purchase was not clear. Brooke who is up for re-election this fall, refused comment, the newspaper said. The Senate Ethics Committee this month begins an investigation into Brooke's financial dealings and the claims of disclosure statements he filed in May. Bottomly, an independently wealthy lawyer now in private practice, said Brooke had lost his copy of the supplemental agreement and was trying to headmasters For the finest in hair and skin care for men and women. - Expert Hair Designers - Scientific Hair Analysis - Creative Chemical Services - Creative Chemical Products Super Skin Care Products - Super Skin Care Products - Friendly Free Advice - Friendly Free Advice Appointments not always needed. 809 Vermont 843-8808 REDKEN THURSDAY JUNE 29TH ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL Western Swing with the Sounds of National Recordings Aesthetic Only 700 tickets will be sold and going fast! one show—two sets $^{4 in advance Tickets at Love Records downtown and 7th Spirit Cellar "We're Making Improvements" MAKING THE BEST EVEN BETTER FOR YOU - the bookstore now with more than just books - designed with the student in mind - and the budget he can afford I - at the best quality, the best prices, and the best service - with something to meet all of the student's needs.
