Emission Control Stymies Co-Op
There are no readily available solutions to the visibility problems that sometimes occur along K-10 opposite the Cooperative Farm Chemicals Association (CFCA) plant, according to CFCA and State Highway Commission officials.
Emissions and steam from the plant's water cooling towers created fog conditions along the highway on the afternoon of Jan. 21 and were blamed for three accidents involving seven cars and injuring four persons within 45 minutes.
Allen Hoffman, the plant's general manager, said Friday that the water cooling towers were part of a basic evaporation process and that given certain conditions, the towers were not much that could be done to prevent decreased visibility along K-10.
BILL OGAN, state urban highway engineer, indicated that the problem was particularly difficult to cope with because it could be known to know when the problem would occur.
Ogan said traffic engineers of the State Highway Commission had studied the problem and had decided to put a sign in front of Area Ahead" for each direction of traffic.
Ogan said the signs would be in place quickly, adding that the problem would take care of itself anyway with the coming of warmer weather.
Gene Comeau, CFCA air pollution engineer, said various other solutions he had considered would prove impractical. Shutting down operations completely during fog conditions, he said, would be difficult and would involve too much time. And replacing the water cooling towers, Gene said, would be very prohibitive in cost.

Grading at KU Agenda Topic
A University Senate会议 to review grading changes proposed by the University Council last week has been scheduled for Tuesday as the university's executive committee spokesman said Monday.
At Monday's meeting, SenEx compiled the agenda for Thursday's university Council meeting. Reports from the Planning and Resources, Organization and Adjustment, and Calendar committees will be presented at the meeting.
The reports will include a recommended revision of the restriction on scheduling athletic events during final exam periods and proposed wording changes of the Senate Code.
The University Council will meet at 3:30 p.m. Thursday in Room 108 Blake Hall.
Yesterday's numa led a cloistered life. When they ventured out, it was two-by-two. Their roles were the headmistress and within church institutions.
Things have changed. The world.
The Church. The roles women play.
Yet for one order, these changes are hardly apparent. Ever since the Dominican Sisters of the Sick Poor were founded in 1876, they have been engaged in pastoral ministry. They have always been hardworking and caring. Always had freedom. Why? By the very nature of their work.
The Dominican Sisters of the Sick Poor give free nursing care to the needy in their own homes. They travel alone by bus or by subway. Or by car. Or on foot. And their day doesn't end at five o'clock
Each case presents a different problem; whether it is bringing physical or spiritual comfort, keeping a family together, counseling or bridging the gap between social agencies, we bring people to Christ. We are in direct contact with the people we care for.
You see, we don't have to be liberated. We are.
GRACE. We are.

possibility that involved the use of gas burners in the towers to heat the water vapor to the extent that it could not condense as easily into fog.
However, Conmean said, the problem occurred most in the winter months when gas shortages would make the operation of gas burners unfeasible.
Corneau also cited the example of a plant in New Jersey which tried the gas burner method and ended up burning down a cooling tower.
Cormeau said that flashing lights had been used with some success in other parts of the country as a means of warning motorists.
Ogan said that the flashing light
possibility had been considered by the State Highway Commission's traffic engineers but was rejected because the highway was too wide, so people on rough roads can call to activate the lights.
Ogian said he knew of no devices that would automatically activate themselves when they were powered on.
