FEO Official Says Conserving Helps
By ROY CLEVENGER Kansan Staff Reporter
Gasoline supplies will be critically short this summer, but rationing can be avoided through voluntary conservation, James Newman, regional director of the Federal Energy Office (FEO), said at a press conference here yesterday.
Newman, former assistant chief of police in Kansas City, Mo., was in Lawrence for a Chamber of Commerce seminar on tourism and the energy crisis.

tivity.*

"We'll be in critical shape this summer," he said "but next year it should be better."

A gasoline supply shuffle announced Tuesday by FEO chief William Simon didn't mean that Kansas would lose any more of its allocation to hard-hit eastern and southern states, Newman said. Simon had announced before the latest shuffle that
Kansas would lose about 2 per cent of its February allocation. He also said Tuesday that Kansas' allocation might be increased as summer demands at harvest time this summer.
Energy officials decided against cutting Kansas supplies because of a lack of adequate figures on supply distribution within the state. Newman said.
He said voluntary conservation had reduced gasoline use by 12 per cent of last year's consumption and by almost one-fourth of the expected demand. But conservation hasn't been satisfactory recently, he said.
Victims Review Vern's First Raid
When President Nixon requested conservation, everyone drove at 50 miles an hour and gasoline stations closed religiously on Sundays," he said. "But now many people are driving at 70 agon on the highways, and more stations are staying open Sundays.

Three years ago this week, Atty. Genuine Miller made good his pledge to "land in Lawrence with both feet" in an effort to halt the use of illegal drugs in Lawrence. Of the 30 persons arrested in thatraid, only six still live in Lawrence.
Twenty-four of those arrested in the raid were found guilty. Nineteen were sentenced to three years in prison. The Kansas State Industrial Reformatory in Dushutchon and fined $500. All but five of the 19 sentences were suspended, and the 19 were placed on three-year probation instead.
Six of the cases were dropped.
Now, three years after their arrests, survivors of the first Miller raid were uncertain of the effect it would have on their lives.
"It hasn't altered my lifestyle at all," she said.
Maura Biesemeyer of 1229 New Jersey, is nearing the completion of her probation period. She recently said that her arrest hadn't created any problems for her.
But she did express concern over the fact that she had a criminal record. She said she hoped to have the record of her conviction documented and provided in the Youthful Offenders Act.
Thus far, Biesemeyer said, she hadn't experienced any difficulty in gaining employment, but she knew of others who had. Most people who suffered from the raid did so because they were again arrested for drug violations, she said.
A person who was convicted of selling one ounce of marijuana and conspiracy to sell LSD and who wished to remain unidentified, said it was too early to tell if he would have difficulty getting a job because of his criminal record.
"I just got out of the joint six months ago," he said, "I really don't know how long it was."
He said he'd known others from the Lawrence drug raid who also were in the reformatory in Hutchinson. But he said he was not concerned in the raid was still confined there.
Most of those who were sent to Hutchinson had been students, he said, and most planned to continue their education, but not at the University of Kansas.
Those who were confined to the reformatory had experienced much unintended harm.
"A year ago, they were rough on drug offenders," he said of officials at the reformate. People who are in for armed combat or quicker than people who are in for dope.
He said that because Miller had made public statements urging a stance on the treatment of drug offenders, the defense at Hutchinson could have improved.
Another person who was arrested in the raid and who also wished to remain unidentified said he thought his arrest and being held in jail would cause problems for him in the future.
"I'm sure I'm going to take some flak," he said. "A lot of corporations will come down to you."
College graduates seek executive positions that might be off-limits for drug offenders, he said, while lesser employment positions that non-college graduates would fill would be available regardless of drug convictions. "He said he, too, was hoping to have the
He said the stigma is greater for college graduates than it would be for others.
He said be, too, was hoping to have the record of his conviction expunged.
He said he hoped employers would look on his conviction as a mistake that a misguided college student would make in following a fad.
Summer employment has presented no problems, he said.

But, he said, he thought applications for permanent employment would be checked

Newman said petroleum shortages would remain significant until new energy sources become more accessible.
"By the early '80s, we should be able to end regulation of crude oil and have mandatory conservation," he said. "We must also protect oil by 1990, but not necessarily crude oil."
Nixon's nips for energy independence by 1880 may succeed, Newman said, but only because it is too complicated.
He said the United States currently imported one-third of its oil and might import another.
Newman said gasoline prices were stable but would rise to support profit margins of oil corporations and to finance research and development of additional oil wells.
"A political embargo then would be a real benefit," he said, "making today look like a very powerful force."
He said the switch to other energy sources didn't have to cause chronic inflation, government controls on business and massive reordering of life-styles.
American ingenuity and technology will help remove slack in industries hit by shortages and create new industries, Newman said.
"Work is going on in developing combustion systems using oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen," he said. "If any of these reactors are used, they would be abundant sources of energy."

Snow was chancellor of KU from 1890 to 1901. It is said that he liked to "coast down Mt. Orca on his bicycle with his feet up and his coattails living in the wind."
These two riven and others helped to develop the museum into one of the best in the city.
Dyce Hall was designed in Venetian-
Romanesque style in 1902 for 500 dollars. Sixty
years later when the addition was built, it
cost $750,000. The gargoyles on the building
were carved on the spot by an Italian stone
cutter.
The building was declared unsafe in 1932 by the state architect. The concrete floors, lad when concrete reinforcing was just coming into use, had been strengthened with steel and reinforced stronger bars. The floors swayed slightly and officials feared they might collapse.
The museum remained closed for eight years. Repairs were slowed down by legislative wrangling about appropriating funds.
Originally, just the floors were going to be redone. Then officials decided to remodel the museum. It finally reopened in 1940.
Today the museum has five divisions, according to Ray Ashen, coordinator of public education for the museum. They are herpetology, ichthyology, vertebrate paleontology, mammalogy and ornithology, or in other words, the study of reptiles, fish, amphibians, birds, mammals, manual and reptile collections. Ashen said, are among the best in the world.
Ashton said the museum is slowly getting away from public education by use of stuffed animals. It offers classes for adults, children and families. It sponsors field trips to museums and local schools. The vivarium which is, a group of live exhibits, most snakes, on display in the building.
