CAMPUS AND AREA
Facilities operations begins asbestos plan
Forty-four facilities operations managers and supervisors are scheduled to attend today's first seminar in a three-week, $12,000 asbestos-control training program financed by facilities operations.
This week, supervisors and managers are scheduled to attend two days of instruction in the Council Room of the Kansas Union. The instruction includes uses of asbestos, asbestos and safety procedures concerning asbestos and safety procedures used in handling asbestos.
Representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Kansas Department of Community Health, the Kansas Department of Agriculture, and trained in asbestos safety practices will talk about asbestos safety.
The program was planned by the KU National Asbestos Training
Center in Overland Park, operated by the division of continuing education. The $12,000 fee for the training program is a discount price, according to Lani Himegarner, project coordinator for the center.
Last week, Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations, said of the program. "We are doing what is necessary to protect our employees."
The training program comes in the midst of a Kansas Department of Human Resources inquiry into procedures used in the application of a solution with asbestos and removal of the boiler from the campus power plant.
The inquiry was a response to complaints made in January by facilities operations workers, who charged that proper asbestos safety procedures were not used in the two-year demolition and removal of the boiler.
Sen. Mathias to speak about political courage
Sen, Charles Mathias Jr., R-Maryland, is scheduled to deliver a lecture titled "A Time for Political Courage" at 2:30 p.m. today in Woodruff Auditorium of the Kansas Union.
His speech is part of the Pearson Lecture Series The Pearson Lecture Series was founded by former Kansas senator James B. Pearson to bring prominent government figures to campus.
Mathias, who has been discussed as a possible presidential candidate in 1988, was elected to the House of Representatives in 1960. He has been a senator since 1968.
Matias is known to support arms reduction. He has promoted civil rights legislation and election law reform.
Burdett Loomis, associate professor of political science, said yesterday that Mathias was one of the most liberal Republicans in the Senate. The Senate has only a handful of liberal Republicans, Loomis said, and Mathias is one of them — "a legitimate, genuine, old-line, Eastern, liberal Republican."
Loornis said Mathias had a moderat- ing influence on his colleagues and their students.
Mathias is chairman of the Senate Rules and Administration Committee and the Foreign Relations Committee's subcommittee on international economic policy. He was a delegate to the SALT II talks.
Mathias attended Yale University and graduated from Haverford College in Haverford, Pa. He received a bachelor's degree from the University of Maryland in 1949.
