one congressmen face action on important bills including national health insurance, foreign trade, campaign reform and taxation of excess oil profits. The House Judiciary Committee is to begin studying its impeachment inquiry evidence about May 7 and questioning the House by end of June its impeachment action.

Sawhill Sees $ 3^{c} $ to $ 5^{c} $ Summer Gasoline Hike
Saulitin Sees 3 to 5 Summer Gasoline Hike John Sawillh, recently appointed federal energy chief who replaced William Simon in that position, made the prediction yesterday at a press conference following a speech to the National Oil Jobs Council.
"I don't expect gasoline on a national basis to go much above 60 cents," he said. "The record winter is now over and the oil embargo is lifted, but this is not going to happen."
The formal dedication of Wescow Hall Saturday morning returned the humanities to the heart of the University of Kansas campus, according to keynote speaker Ned Cushing, former chairman of the Board of Regents.

The $7.88 million Wescow Hall, the new humanities building, honors former KU Chancellor W. Clarke Wescow, who was present at the dedication ceremonies.
"No act could be more appropriate in honoring the name of Wescow on this campus than the naming of this humanities building after him, because Dr. Clarke Wescow wasn't narrowly concerned with the medical sciences or science in general, but rather with the entire range of human learning," Cushing said.
300 Attend Wescoe Hall Dedication
Speaking for the Board of Regents, Henry A. Bubb, chairman of the building committee, said, "In addition to being a valuable and needed academic facility, Wesco Hall is also a living monument to a man who contributed immeasurably to the University—former chancellor W. Clarke Wesco."
Cushing told a standing-room-only crowd of 300 people that Wescoe had provided the leadership to begin the necessary building of new KU academic structures. Dignitaries in the audience included Gov. Robert Docking, Congressman Larry Winn and former Chancellors Franklin Murphy and Raymond Nichols.
"Clarke Wescoe was the leadership of a University that had grown somewhat casually over the years. Marked by long dry spells of little or no construction,
During his years as chancellor, Wescoe and his associates "conceived a visionary plan" for to rebuild the center of the KU campus for undergraduate and nonprofessional students in place of placing the professional schools around this reconstructed area, Cushing said.
University of Kansas was a campus that no longer mit the needs of the present, much of which is due to the
Rooms were cooler and lights were fewer at the University of Kansas last winter, but the conservation efforts worked, according to Jim Perkins. "I think Dick Perkins, University energy officer,"
KU grew during Wescoe's tenure as chancellor from 1960 to 1968. Enrollment increased from 9,375 to 17,800, several buildings were constructed or planned including Wescoe Hall, and full-time faculty grew from 602 to 862.
"January was the best month for saving." Perkins said. "This indicates that our efforts in shuting down unused buildings over the semester break were successful, although I think people were also being very conscious of the problem.
The University saved more than $45,000 in energy costs last winter compared with the previous winter, although the cost of fuels rose.
"Discounting the new buildings—Wescoe Hall and the Student Health Center—we will invest $20 million in January over January of 1973, and 17 per cent on gas over last year. This represents
Energy Conservation Helps KU Save $45,000
savings of almost $15,000 in energy costs for January alone," he said.
Savings in energy during February and March have averaged more than 10 per cent, except for gas consumption in March, which rose 2 per cent over last year.
Seven persons will receive the University of Kansas' highest honor, the Distinguished Service Citation, at commencement exercises May 20.
POSITIONS ARE OPEN:
The awards, given jointly by the University and the KU Alumii Association, recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to society.
Perkins said the gas figures were unpredictable because of the variation in temperature.

"The these figures indicate that energy-saving efforts work," said Keith Nitcher, vice chancellor for business affairs. "We had two new buildings come into this year that weren't reflected in the savings achieved." He played a very considerable part in helping us keep power costs within reasonable bounds."

Constantly rising construction costs posed a major problem in financing the building of Wesco Hall, Cushing said. State funds paid $3.9 million while the Federal government issued a bond to collect the project. The remaining $1.6 million came from a revenue bond issue paid by student fees.
"No one—regent, chancellor nor faculty member—approved, in principle, of student assistance in the financing of academic buildings. We all felt that all such construction should be a state responsibility," he said.
However, without the student assistance,
the construction of Wescos Hall would have
been delayed two to three years, he said.
"We must applaud the dedication of those
