Repair work chases chills from Wescoe
By JEANINE HOWE Staff Reporter
Students accustomed to alternately sweating and shivering in Wescoe Hall should find classes there more comfortable starting this fall.
Wescoe's heating and cooling system is being repaired, and the foreman of the company doing the work said the repairs would cost $10 million and improve circulation throughout the hall.
Bud Van Tuyl, foreman for Huxtable and Associates Inc., said work to improve temperature control systems on Wescoe's campus should be completed this summer.
"What we've done so far has already helped," he said.
Allen Wiechert, University director of facilities planning, said the repair project cost $192,000 and was financed by federal and state grants.
THE PROJECT IS the result of an energy conservation study conducted three years ago by the Center for Research Inc. Wiechert said faculty and graduate students had built the prototype buildings Wescoe and several other buildings had inefficient heating and cooling systems.
Wiechert said the primary goal of the Wesco repair was to reduce the cost of heating and air-conditioning the hall.
metherm heating and cooling systems.
Wiechert said that plans were being made for work on systems at Fraser Hall and that work would begin in the fall.
He said the new system would help circulate air but would not necessarily adjust the building to one temperature. The temperatures in rooms still might vary because one thermostat might regulate five or six rooms, he said.
Wiechert said thermostats probably never would be installed in each classroom because it would be too expensive.
VAN TUYL SMD temperature problems probably had plagued Wescoe since it was built.
"The original problem was that it didn't have a good enough control on heating and air conditioning and the mixture of air." Van Tuyl said. "The air was stuffy and there was poor circulation. One area would be hot, another cold."
Now, cool and hot air mix constantly and in proportion. Van Tulyt said. Individual metal cylinder dampers, those for hot air and those for cold air, being installed to enable the air to mix better.
Van Tuyl said a control devise determined the correct air proportions in a damper. Cool and hot air flow from individual dampers into a metal box where the air is blended and then circulated.
In the old system, hot and cool air did not flow though air ducts at the same time. Van Tuyl said dampers had to open and shut constantly to allow cool or hot air to flow.
KU helps keep Command College in line
By KATHY FLANDERS Staff Reporter
LEAVENWORTH — About 30 miles northeast of Lawrence, world leaders and high-ranking military officers train at one of the world's top colleges, with the help of the University of Kansas and its professors.
Perched on the bluffs of the Missouri River, the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth is the training ground for U.S. and foreign military students.
Besides military training, the Command College offers a cooperative degree program. Students combine Command College work with courses offered by affiliated universities to earn degrees in a dozn areas related to military professions.
AU professors have taught at the Command College since the spring of 1967. For the 1984-85 school year, the University received $47,218 for the professors' efforts.
The professors don't get the money; it goes to their departments.
SIX KU PROFESSORS teach at the Command College this semester.
Ronald Francisco, associate professor of political science, teaches Theories and Methodology of International Relations; Andrew Conteh, assistant professor of Soviet and East European Studies, teaches Soviet African Relations; and Norman Saul, professor of Soviet and East European studies, teaches History of the Soviet Union.
Also, Paul Fortin, associate professor of engineering management, teaches Engineering Project Management; George Gawrych, assistant professor of history, teaches Modern Military History of the Middle East; and H. Blair Harcourt, assistant professor of economics, teaches Intermediate Microeconomics.
The Command College, established in 1881, develops and writes plans for military tactics
THOSE ADMITTED TO the Command
College must have the rank of major. They go to the college to advance in rank.
Col. Jimmy Tucker is the commander for almost 1,000 students. He's responsible for the organization, administration and supervision of all student affairs at the College.
"The military force should be used to deter aggression," Tucker said. "But if deterrence fails, we'll go to war and win. But the main purpose of the army is peace."
Command College students train for war by playing strategic war games and planning troop movement. Tucker said the Army taught the students how to think, not what to do.
The Command College has a wide range of courses. Some offered are: Nuclear and Chemical Weapons Employment, Strategies and Operations, Counter-attention and Internal War and Revolution.
IN THE MILITARY'S educational system, the Command College ranks second only to the Armed Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Va.

Report seeks forum on South Africa ties
By J. STROHMAIER Staff Reporter
The debate over whether the Kansas University Endowment Association should divest from companies doing business in South Africa soon may be brought to the public.
A report issued yesterday by a University Senate committee suggested an open forum to discuss whether the Endowment Association should withdraw its investments from companies doing business in South Africa.
South Africa currently operates under a
social security called onoverhead
policy or racial segregation called apartheid. The University Senate Human Relations Committee issued the report after $1\frac{1}{2}$ years of research into the Endowment Association's ties with South Africa. The lengthy report was distributed and discussed at the University Senate Executive Committee's meeting.
SENEX, FOLLOWING recommendations in the report, will inform the University Council about the existence of the report, said Arno Knapper, SenEx Chairman. The
council will discuss the report at its Feb. 21 meeting.
Knapper said the report suggested that the council set a date, possibly sometime this spring, for an open forum for students, faculty and interested parties to discuss the possibilities for action on the South African issue.
On Nov. 3, 1983, the council commissioned the Human Relations Committee to consider a council resolution asking the Endowment Trust to increase business in South Africa, the report said
The Human Relations Committee met Jan. 21 for final voting on the recommendations. Only five of 22 committee members were present for the vote.
The report said divestment would help end apartheid in South Africa only if:
- The Endowment Association's selling of stock in companies doing business in South Africa would persuade American companies to leave South Africa.
- Withdrawal by American companies would help overcome apartheid.
Liquor by the drink clears Senate hurdle

TOPEKA - Liquor by the drink cleared its first hurdle yesterday as supporters in the Kansas Senate found the necessary two-thirds majority to send the measure to the House.
Passage of the proposed amendment to the state constitution was eased by Senate approval of a package of bills designed to curb drunken driving and prevent excessive
The Senate voted 28-12 for the resolution, which calls for each county to vote on legalizing liquor by the drink. But it faces a tough road in the house, where supporters estimate that they still lack 12 to 15 votes needed for passage.
Any attempt to amend the constitution requires a two-thirds margin in the Senate and House and approval by a majority of the state's voters.
WHEN THE SENATE took final action on the resolution, it also passed a package of bills that toughened drunken driving laws. All were approved by wide margins, but only 24% had happy hours and similar club and tavern specials met with the most opposition.
The measure needs 84 votes in the House before it can be sent to the voters in the 1986 general election.
Mike Swenson, Gov. John Carlin's press secretary, was pleased with the outcome of yesterday's vote. He said that prospects in Iowa were strong, and that supporters had 70 solid votes.
State Rep. Robert H. Miller, R-Wellington,
said the House Federal and State Affairs
Committee would look at the drunken driving
package toward the end of next week. The
State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, voted for the resolution. He said that it was hazardous for a politician to predict the outcome but that he thought the support in the Senate might help carry the measure in the House.
HOUSE MEMBERS NEED to conduct their own polls, Shelor said, and not base their decision on the letters they might receive in constituents who oppose liquor by the drink.
Jerry Shelor, lobbyist for Kansans for Effective Liquor Control, said getting the 28 votes helped the resolution's prospects. Shelor's organization originally had offered the resolution to the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee.
"Dry forces have a good, well-greased machine," Shelor said. "In some situations that influences their vote."
"Debating the pros and cons of liquor by the drink is not a legislative issue," Reilly said. "We need to isolate the true issue. It's about voters' rights."
State Sen. Edward F. Reilly, R-Leaveworth and chairman of the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee, carried the measure to the Senate floor. He emphasized that he wanted to put the issue to a public referendum.
ONLY THEN WILL his committee examine liquor by the drink. Miller said. He would not predict how his committee would treat him, but he was undecided on the proposed amendment.
REILLY SAID 1970 was the last time Kansans were given the opportunity to vote on liquor by the drink. At that time, it was defeated by 12,000 votes.
Experience ample reward for legislative internships
House also has its own anti-drinking bills that his committee will examine at the same time.

Sidney Shapiro, professor of law, said students in his Legislative Workshop class found answers to constituents' questions about the status of bills, attended meetings in place of their legislators and wrote newsletters.
This semester, a dozen KU law students work as interns at the Capitol several days a week through a class offered by the Law School. The students also work as interns at the Capitol.
TOPERA—The hours are long and there is no pay, but the experience makes up for everything, say students who work as legislative interps.
Shapiro said the Law School had sponsored the internship program for many years.
While there are no prerequisites for the class, Shapiro said most of the students had completed courses in legislative and administrative law.
Shapiro said he also asked students to name specific committees in the Legislature.
The students receive three hours credit for their work.
STUDENTS ARE ASSIGNED to legislators according to preferences they give Shaniro

Shapiro sends the preference cards to the
Capitol, where they are sent to House or Sepate offices.
Sue Peterson, administrative assistant in the office of House Speaker Mike Hayden, R-Atwood, said she placed interns with representatives who had requested assist-
Peterson said the KU Law School was the only one in the state to send students to the Capitol through a class. Washburn University in Topeka, which has the only other law school in Kansas, has one student working as an intern this semester.
"I worked on her campaign this year doing a small amount of constituent work and liked it, so I requested that I work for her," she said.
Patty Hackney, Lawrence second year law student, and a member of Shapiro's class, said she worked Tuesday and Thursday as State Rep. Bet Jou Charlton, D-Lawrence.
"Not all the representatives request interest. There are only about 30 to 35 in both North America and Europe."
"WE HAVE ALWAYS been pleased with the interns have given us," Paterson sai.
Hackney said Charlton allowed her to sit on committee meetings she had an interest in as well as meetings Charlton was unable to attend. She also asked constituents' problems or questions about bills.
