12 University Daily Kansan / Tuesday, February 25, 1992 Commission looks at panel efforts Traffic woes are focus of dialogue By Andy Taylor Kansan staff writer The last thing Mayor Bob Walters wants the Lawrence city commission to do is grab surveyor's levels and become traffic engineers. "We are policy makers," Walters said. "And the budget drives policies." The city commission forms laws and regulates budgets, and the city's traffic safety commission, an appointed board of nine local residents, makes traffic-related recommendations to the city commission. The city commission met with the traffic safety commission yesterday to discuss similarities and differences between the two groups. Commissioners from both groups agreed more discussion was needed, but their duties should remain separate. City Commissioner BobSchulte said the traffic safety commission served as a filter of information for the city commission. "Each commission is not coming up with different solutions," he said. Carl Thor, vice chairperson of the traffic safety commission and an assistant research engineer for KU's transportation center, said he wanted the safety commission to give more input into the city's larger projects. Schulte also said the current traffic safety commission was composed in an unusual manner because five of the nine members were civil engineers. "if there is a complaint that I have, it that even though we talk about little stuff like crosswalks and pedestrian signals, I wish we could give more input about larger traffic projects," he said. But Chuck Miller, another traffic safety commissioner and civil engineer, said the traffic safety commission members did not have the economic responsibility to make policies. "A big side of this issue is economics," he said. "We do not have some of the financial knowledge it takes to understand this." George Williams, director of public works, said the traffic safety commission originally was created to discuss safety prevention issues. "There was a time when the traffic safety commission looked only at traffic safety," he said. "We set safety routes near area schools and worked with the school's parent-teacher association." The KU Energy Research Development Center soon will become the Mid-Continent Energy Research Center if U.S. Sen. Bob Dole has his way. The U.S. Senate last week passed an energy bill that addressed nuclear energy, alternative fuels and other energy concerns. The bill awaits consideration from the U.S. House of Representatives and President George Bush. As an amendment to the bill, Bill proposed that the University of Kansas' Energy Research Development center become the Mid-Continent Energy Research Center. Dole said in a prepared statement By Greg Farmer Kansan staff writer Energy research to drain oil wells dry that the center would be authorized by the federal government to research and develop methods to recover unknown reserves. *Premature abandonment of oil wells results in the permanent loss of a scarce natural resource, and we use this available resource, 'beheaded'. Dole said abandoned wells in the United States contained about 3.6 billion barrels of recoverable oil. "The University of Kansas research center is uniquely qualified to develop methods of tapping that resource," he said. Dole said stripper wells, which are wells that produce less than 10 barrels of oil a day, represented 74 percent of all wells in the United States. It's expensive for operators to maintain the low-production wells, he said. More than 5,000 stripper wells in Kansas have been abandoned in the last three years. "The KU center has a nationally regarded program emphasizing technology transfer that will help us do more oil from these wells," Dole said. Don Green, co-director of the KU Energy Research Center, said the center emphasized finding new ways to help small oil operators increase production. SUNGLASSES FOR "We work with the Kansas oil operators, which have small technical staffs and little or no research capability, to develop new technologies that will help them operate less expensively and produce more oil." he said.
