Gas Shortage Drains Dealer Wallet

BECAUSE COLLINS HAD already sold 15,000 gallons of the month's allotment, the backfucked him to limit his customers to five gallons. Collins said he made a marry-bent cent per gallon. The 10,000 gallon cutback cost him $500 in March, he estimated.
A conversation such as this one would have been a surprise in Lawrence a year ago. However, it has become a not untraditional occurrence for many of today's motorists.
"IF INDUCTION authority is not extended, only those men who have had their liability extended until age 35 still could be induced," the leaflet said.
"Sorry, sir. I can give you only 10 calls."
The inconvenience has also hit gas station operators, often right in the pocketbook.
THE GASOLINE SHORTAGE has obviously inconvenienced drivers who have been forced to stop more frequently for fuel than before, and now have been having hinder prices for what they get.
Jerry Collins, who manages a Texaco station at 2206 Iowa St., was receiving a monthly allotment of 30,000 gallons from his bulk distributor until March of this year. He was notified March 15 that his allotment had been cut to 20,000 gallons.
HOWEVER, COLLINS SAID most of his customers tried to understand and said they would give him their business whenever possible.
"I really had to talk to him and explain in situation," Collin said. "From some people."
Bob Gosvenner, manager of a Champlin station at N90. 2N st, received similar reactions from his customers when he limited them to 10 gallons. Gosvenner said most of his customers accepted the inconvenience without getting mad.
The president cannot extend the draft induction authority on his own, but he must ask Congress. The draft boards will not be allowed to draft law, or draft law requires that Selective Service
National headquarters is starting a campaign to inform the public on draft status. Cordell said. The campaign will send letters to accounts continue to exist and men must register.
The opinion that "it always happens to the other guy" has been discarded as people find themselves driving into closed stations and denied the amount of gas they request.
At Gosventer's station, customers can buy a full tank of gasoline during the morning. At 10 gallons at 10 gallons a customer. He said that when he ran out of this month's gas allocation, he would probably have to close his station and move to a new shipment of gasoline would arrive.
Almost all station managers have
The cutback hurt his business tremendously. Collins said. He served regular customers who had depended upon him for gas and service. According to Collins, many customers could not limit their purchases when they could buy unlimited amounts from other dealers.

"FILL 'on up, please'"
A leaflet available from Cordell explains the status of the selective service and rights and responsibilities following the end of draft inductions.
Secretary of Defense Laird announced the end of the draft on Jan. 27, 1973.
Even though there is no draft, men 18 years and older must register with the selective service board, Edith Cordell, who administers of local boards 18, 24 and 2, Sunday.
In the past year, total real, personal and utility property valuation for Douglas County has increased by more than $6 million to $145,111,000.
CORDELL SAID THAT there was a sixty-
day time period in which an individual
might come in to register: thirty days
before his birthday and thirty days after.

Higher Valuations May Reduce Taxes In Douglas County
Cordell said that there were a few men who had been coming in late to register because they didn't think that it was necessary to register any longer.

Higher valuation represents good news for taxpayers, because indications are that leases levies for financing various governmental operations will result from the increase.
According to Walter Cragan, county commission chairman, it appears that the county-wide mill levy for real estate may decline somewhat because of the increased valuation, meaning a possible decrease in the individual property owner's tax bill.
Real estate taxes account for more than $86,453,000 of the valuation; personal property taxes amount to over $22,296,000; more than $92,900 of the total.
Cragan said that the commission had no idea how large the decline would be.
"There is a law," Cordell said, "but it is not enforced. If you are late just come in and register. Then all I ask is that they pass me on to their friends to come in and register."
Darlene Hill, budget director, released the valuation abstract Monday. The abstract shows that the county valuation has increased $6,211,000 over the 1922 figures.
Draft Gone But Not Registration
Price hikes have been kept to a minimum,
dealers have assured the public. Dale
Foltwell, manager of a Standard station at
1300 Massachusetts St., said he raised his price for regular gasoline one cent in the last month.
The price jump was not because of the shortage, but because of the price hike from bulk distributors, said Richard Craigman, manager of a Fina station at 1819 W. 23rd St.
Ivan Percival, a Phillips dealer at 1843
Massachusetts, was valued his price once
the last two.
Claude Elms, who operates a Sinclair station at 521 W. 23rd St., said he charged his customers four cents more than he did two months ago.
had to cut back their operating hours by two to four hours per day. Many stations have
Other dealers agreed with Craig, saying that they had to pay more for their gas supply now than several months ago. Most dealers said, however, that they had to compensate for the amount of gas they could not sell because of the shortage.
The gas shortage has been studied by energy experts, legislators and the public. Some say that there is a critical shortage. Others assert that the crisis is the result of a power play by the major oil companies, citing as evidence reports such as one by the company itself. The major oil company earnings were up 37 percent in the first quarter of 1973.
A petition was filed for by City Attorney Milton Allen for "declaratory judgment" on the validity of the party's claims. The case was filed by Fire Fighters Ecalc Union 1966.
Allen maintained in a statement filed in court, that the subject of the petition is improper, calling it an administrative rather than a legislative tonic.
Petition Validity Ruling Asked
Prices would probably have to be raised soon, however, according to some dealers who have been warned.
"As far as the dealer is concerned, there
The case will be assigned to a district court judge Friday and a hearing date will be set later. The union now has 20 days to reply to the city petition.
The petition, which has 3,400 signatures,
was presented June 12 to the Lawrence City
Commission. It calls for equal pay between
the two employees in categories in which the pay would be equal.
Union officials have said in the past that they had lawyers prepared to contest the claims.
In a vote June 19, the commission unanimously decided to seek a court clarification of the state statute under which the union circulated its petition.
Application for regular permits will be subject to approval by representatives of the University Parking Board during enrolment. Special cases in need of the more highly restricted zones will file their applications with the five-member Parking Board.
The August regulation change will provide a color-coded permit system that allows members access to parking lots close to the buildings that they frequent. The lots around the campus will be color-coded differently for each of several different lots having the same color.
He now pumps gas to an average of 1,000 fewer cars a month. Collins traced the shortage to a growing population with more than a quarter of its vehicles being model cars. Because of these devices, gas mileage has been cut by one to three miles a gallon in some cars, according to Collins. He said a 1972 full-sized air conditioned car had a mileage of about 1973 models get only eight miles a gallon.
Goavener service trucks used by a company working at the Clinton Dam. Cannon buys 36,000 gallons of diesel fuel a month. His allocation is 10,000 gallons, less than 28 per unit.
COLLINS, WHO SAID he had built up a good business in his 1½ years of Lawrence dealership, pointed out that Texaco spent a large amount of money to build his new and modern station. According to Collins, he surpassed the estimated potential for his business by making money for Texaco when he was able to sell 30,000 gallons of gas a month.

dealer at W 12, 3rd St. "If we can't get

GOVENSEY SAID HE did not know if there was an actual gas shortage. However, Govensey, who said that he was one of the few people in the city to use a diesel fuel (fus), has run into a serious problem.
"Permits will no longer be restricted to any specific loc. "Fenestera maker said, "except on special conditions and for special or emergency parking permits."
Texaco dealer Collins said it made no sense for Texaco to supply him with less fuel.
New KU Traffic Rules Detailed
New parking and traffic regulations will become effective August 26, 1973. Major changes in the new regulations will deal with the restrictions on a new color-coded system of permits rather than specific zone permits and a new policy that will treat students and faculty of the school.
Lawrence dealers said they did not know any solution to the problem.
According to E. W. Fenstemaker, lieutenant in charge of parking for the traffic and security department, it has been a long standing theory of the University that an automobile is not a necessity in the educational process.
Because the use of an automobile is viewed as a special privilege, the state of Kansas will not provide funds for parking on its own funds for maintenance of the lots.
There are still problems arising with many employees about parking registration. Because of the inflationary cost of maintenance material and labor, it is necessary for the price of the parking permits to go up. Fenstemaker said.
"It IS A FEELING throughout the institution that persons who use the parking lots should for them," said Lillian Feldman, who applied to both students and faculty.
parking violation fees if they were legally parked at the time they received the ticket.
However, visitors who park in an illegal or hazardous manner will be subject to the same regulations that apply to students and faculty.
Violations in Group I are parking in wrong zones, non-designed parking areas, guest areas, restricted areas or unmarked areas. This group also includes fines for legally parked vehicles that do not have permits.
Parking violation fees are organized under four groups.
AFTER THE AUGUST change, fees for Group I volsitions will be $5.
Group II parking violations are displaying a mutilated permit, not displaying a KU registration sticker. Group III parking violations are displaying a stickers and displaying obsolete stickers.
There will be no fee assessed for Group II
violations if they are corrected within seven days, the warning is ignored, however a failure may occur.
GROUP III WILL consist of violations that are hazardous. These are blocking a drive or roadway, restricting normal flow of traffic, parking in a designated fire lane, parking adjacent to a fire hydrant or storing water in a University premises without authorization.
Group IIi violations will entail a $10 fine plus an automatic tow. Violators will be subject to pay all previous unpaid violations and tow charges.
Forged or altered parking stickers or permits will constitute a Group IV violation. Persons receiving Group IV fines will have to pay a $25 fine and to be required to pay a $2 fine and toow them.
Any parking violation fee that remains unpaid after 14 days of receipt of the ticket may be charged to the individual.

Shakespearean drama presents a problem to actresses. Shakespeare wrote
"Sakabease's Women" will open at the
Kansas Theater at 8 p.m.
Shakespeare was forced to limit female roles to those his actors could handle. No women were allowed on the stage during Shakespeare's time.
The presentation, which was organized by William Keeler, professor of theatre, is a collection of 16 scenes that concentrate on women's roles.
The show is directed by three graduate students, Piet Knetsch of Amsterdam, Ronald Shull of Haven and Gerald Shinder of Overland Park. They have the respon-
tibility to pull together their individually-directed scenes into a cohesive production.
"To structure the production we have centered on two major themes," Shul said. "Act I shows women in relation to love; act II shows them in relation to power."
"We have attempted to provide the assistance and evidence of Shakespeare's women in diversity."
Many of the actors play more than one part in "Sharespeare's Women" and are required to change into a number of varied roles in diverse styles.
Performances will be preceded by musical presentations of Meade Hall Players in the theatre lobby. Cookies, tarts, punch, postcards and books will be sold. The play will run through June 30 and on July 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7.
The scenes in "Shakespeare's Women"
are taken from the plays "Two Gentlemen
From Verona," "Much Ado About
Nothing," "Merry Wives of Windsor",
"Macbeth," "Coriolans," "Richard III"
and "Henry IV" parts II and III.
