"Most of the insulation had been removed by then, but a large sheet of insulation was cut loose and dropped, and I was covered in scabs." There were even no precautions taken to protect anyone.
Dickhoff said he had not seen the letter from Smith and Brasswell.
"I told Steve (Brasswell) that I didn't intend to accept anything in the mail," Dickhoff said. "I think it would be improper to receive anything of this nature."
Bill Blankenship, spokesman for the Department of Human Resources, said the investigative panel probably would start conducting confidential interviews this week. The panel will interview about 80 people, he said.
"The interview alone will take two to three weeks." Blankenship said. "Then there will be some more fact finding. Then a report will be the primary story of the department of human resources."
"Then the secretary will forward it to the chancellor, and it will become public information available for public inspection." Renebarger he would file a lawsuit against the state if the investigation showed that he had been exposed to excessive levels of asbestos and that facilities operations officials had not provided proper information
and safety material during the demolition and removal of the boiler.
In his letter, Smith said that about a week after the boiler removal had been completed, Bob Porter, associate director of facilities at Fargo, said he safety concerns with workers at a meeting.
Smith wrote, "He went on to say that the reason the job was not done properly was that it would cost too much and (and this is a direct quote spoken in front of a shop full of people) 'What's a human life worth anyway = 98 cents?' "
Porter said last night that he had not made the statement, but would not comment further.
Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations, said he was not sure what had been done to prevent the spill.
"This is why we have contacted outside sources," Anderson said. "This all took place over a long period of time. Nobody knows for sure what really happened."
Mary Tietjen, a spokesman for the Kansas City, Mo., EPA office, said she had requested information about the demolition and removal of the boiler from KU officials. The information might be used by the EPA in an effort to remove the demolition and removal of the boiler.
Tietjen said violators of EPA guidelines for handling asbestos could be fined up to $25,000 each day for each violation.
"I fear that many able and deserving young people could be priced out of the educational market. This would be a tragedy. It would be a waste of needed human resources."
Aid continued from p.
But worry over the impact of the proposed cuts may be dispelled by Congress.
Last week, Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole, R-Kan., said Congress probably would modify the president's proposed cuts. He said the White House already was planning to compromise on that issue.
Christina Rossett, Conway Springs senior, said she opposed Reagan's planned aid cuts, but acknowledged that the current system needed improvement.
"I think that anyone who wants to get a student loan, regardless of how much their parents make, should be able to get one; but repayment should be more strictly enforced," she said.

Ike Holland, Coffeffive junior, said of Reagan's proposed cuts. "They don't affect me personally because the cuts don't affect my category. I see do a point in the cuts, though. Even though he's lowering the amount of money available, at least the people most deserving will receive their share."
figures, combined with summer and fall weather data, would be used to calculate the fiscal 1987 budget.
He said the fiscal 1985 budget would replace the fiscal 1982 budget as the base budget, which the Rogers use to gauge progress toward providing financial needs of different state universities.
BURRIS SAID INCREASES or decreases in the base budget for a particular year were determined by multiplying the number of credit hours taken at the University by the
State universities operate under the "corridor concept," developed by the Kansas Legislature, which allows a margin of gain or loss to be achieved without affecting their budgets. Burrs said.
Michael Young, associate dean of the college, said the increase in enrollment was due to increases in the number of students taking introductory courses in the college.
The 20th-day figures showed that the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences posted a significant gain in enrollment over 1984 tallies, increasing 381 students to 10,568 for
THE VAST MAYORITY of the increase is in the introductory classes," Young said. "Some of them (students) are now taking courses they couldn't take in the fall."

While some schools at the University
Enrollment for the School of Education declined 158 students to 792 from 950 in spring 1984.
Jerry Bailey, assistant dean of education, said. "A decrease was expected since we are in the process of changing our program from a four-year curriculum to a five-year curriculum."
He said enrollment figures should reach the levels of previous years by next year.
THE DEPARTMENT OF occupational therapy had a decrease of 62 students, to 304 from 366 in spring 1984.
Other schools with increases were the School of Business, with an increase of 143 students from a spring 1984 total of 893 to 1,036; the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications with 32 new students, from 641 to 673; the School of Architecture and Urban Design gained six new students, increasing from 61 to 84 students, from 520 to 604; Fine Arts gained 12 students, from 394 to 946; and the Applied English Center gained 20 new students, increasing from 73 to 93.
The School of Engineering declined in enrollment from 1984 figures of 1,701 to 1,611. The School of Law declined from 508 to 468. The School of Computer enrollment declined from 4,958 to 4,925.
