When Anderson called Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, he found out about the new FERC rule.
"We spent four months researching," Anderson said, and decided to let companies bid on providing KU's natural gas supply.
KU NOW BUYS natural gas from KPS for $3.85 per 1,000 cubic feet, Bill Salome, president of KPS said.
KPS obtains its natural gas from Northwest Central Pipeline of Oklahoma City.
By purchasing natural gas directly from a producer, the University hopes to pay less than $3 per 1,000 cubic feet of gas, Anderson said.
Oroke said that KU consumed about 5 million cubic feet of gas per year. If the price of natural gas was reduced to $3 per 1,000 cubic feet, the University could save $450,000.
"Iinadequate utility budgets and cutting off the air conditioning in buildings with poor ventilation systems have meant stresses on personnel," Oroke said.
If the bidding process does not work. Anderson said, the University will negotiate with producers.
JULY 6 IS THE deadline to submit bids, and Oroke said he had heard from potential gas suppliers in Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Kapsas.
"We've spent a lot of time and effort." Anderson said. "We're not going to give up."
"We're not in a position to alter our contractual agreement with Northwest Central Pacific."
Two companies, KPS and Northwest Central Pipeline can already be counted out, because they said that they would not extend bids to KU.
EIGHTY PERCENT OF THE net income that KPS received from KU went to local customers as credit on gas bills, and 20 percent went to KPS.
Losing KU as a customer, Salome said, would not be in the best interest of all customers.
WASHINGTON — Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson arrived in the United States yesterday with 22 Americans and 26 political prisoners freed from Cuba jails following a personal sendoff in Havana by Cuban President Fidel Castro.
By United Press International
Jackson and freed prisoners home
The chartered plane carrying Jackson and several of the prisoners touched down at Dulles International Airport about 10:30 p.m. CDT.
Several relatives carried yellow flowers tied with yellow ribbons reminiscent of the return of the hostages from Iran in 1880 A. A memorial to those killed by a group of an adult, shouted, "Jesse, Jesse, Jesse."
Many of the Americans, however, may not be free for long.
Justice Department spokesman Stephen Trott said, "The people on the planes will be processed" in the customary way by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. He said those who were not sought on warrants would be released.
At the White House, President Reagan said late yesterday, "I'm glad they're home," but sidesteped a question on whether he would meet with Jackson.
"EVERYTHING IS fine," Castro said earlier in Havana, assuring Jackson and his entourage that they would be leaving after a dinner he hosted for the Democratic presidential candidate and members of his delegation.
Jackson said he and Castro "put the matter of Mariel on the front burner," referring to the sea lift in 1980 in which Castro emptied
many of his jails of criminals and sent them to the United States.
"We put the emphasis on the prisoners because President Reagan said until Mariel was addressed" there would be no further talks between the United States and Cuba, Jackson said.
When asked why he released the prisoners, he said, "It was all a result of Jackson visiting. It was a result of a positive nature. The only thing we ask in return from the United States is the United States provide visas for the Cubans to leave. We have not demanded anything else."
Castro was there to greet Jackson and members of his delegation when they arrived at the airport with about 2,000 Cubans applauding when the Boeing 707 touched down.
