Drought study in works
By BOB MOEN Staff Reporter
Outside, the snowfall ends the winter drought, while inside Learned Hall a project devising a drought alert contingency plan is being developed.
The project at the School of Engineering is funded by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. It is the brainchild of Robert Smith, professor of civil engineering.
The principal researcher on the project, however, is Les Lampe, a Ph.D. candidate at KU.
Lampe, who works in a 'Kansas City engineering firm', said the division was into four areas to help Kansas with water supplies in the event of a drought.

The project will develop a drought alert mechanism using probabilities. It also will devise manuals for water utilities to explain the need for and method of updating water rights and to show how to analyze long-term water use patterns to prepare an emergency preparedness manual for water conservation.
"The project covers the nine different climatic regions of the state, but it is much more applicable to the eastern part." (Sotheby's) and a master's degree from KU, said.
He said the project was developing drought alert techniques to make six-month forecasts of the amount of water that would be available for cities.
"If it was dry the last six months, we can figure the probability of what the situation will be the next six months," he said.

The press has a responsibility to upgrade declining marches, Keith Fuller, president and general manager of the Associated Press, told about 200 journalists, students and KU faculty members yesterday.
AP chief outlines press duty
Fulmer was at KU to receive the 1981 William Allen White Award, which is given annually to a journalist who "exemplifies William Allen White in service to his profession and his country."
FULLER URGED the William Allen White Day audience in the Kansas Union to "unite and vow that they will dedicate themselves as never before to the unmasking and defrocking of the false prophers."
"We live where murder, rape, arson and drugs are commonplace," Fuller said. "We have tolerated in meek surrender false perceptions and aberrations in behavior from the courtroom to the classroom. As a newperson, I denounce myself for letting it happen.
"I blame myself—and other journalists as well—for permitting blatant hypocrisy to have been allowed to go unchecked and unchallenged so long that they have gained credibility."
FULLER, WHO is from Arlington,
Kan., joined AP as a reporter in 1949 and had been involved in coverage of several prominent news stories of the past three decades.
He headed bureaues in Jackson, Miss., Little Rock, Ark, and Denver. As bureau chief in little Rock in the late 1950s, he directed coverage of the school integration struggle that won AP a Pulitzer Prize.
In 1978, Fuller became president and general manager of AP, and under his direction, AP Newsfeedss produced the best-selling book "The Torch is Passed" about the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
THE WILLIAM ALLEN White Award for Journalistic Merit is named after the late Pulitzer Prize-winning editor and publisher of the Emporia Gazette. Elected the Gazette from 1883 to 1944, the Failer is the 25th recipient of the Award.
Previous winners of the award include James B. Reston of the New York Times; Wes Gallagher, former general manager of the Associated Press; Walter Cronkite, CBS anchorman; Sylvia Porter, columnist; and the late Roy A. Roberts, long-time Kansas City Star editor.
The Burton W. Marvin Kansas News Enterprise Award also was awarded yesterday. Ken Stephens, a reporter for the Wichita Eagle-Beacon, won the award for a story he wrote about legal ethics.
