Official predicts Wolf Creek delay
By United Press International
TOPEKA — A top official for a company owning 6 percent of the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant yesterday predicted that the plant might start operating up to six months later than projected at an added cost of $300
Charles Ross, executive vice president for the Topcka-based Kansas Electric Power Cooperative Inc., also told the Kansas Corporation Commission during three and a half hours of intense questioning that early estimates of costs and manpower needed to build the plant were inaccurate.
Commission attorney Robert FILLmore questioned Ross after he and other KEPCo officials went before the KCC on a routine matter. Under an agreement with the KCC, KEPCo must submit itself to formal questioning on or before a routine it appears on official business.
THE SESSION CAMEONE day after officials for Kansas Gas & Electric Co., the utility responsible for Wolf Creek construction and planning, announced a delay in Wolf Creek's commercial operation of four weeks to six weeks. The utility told the KCC that the new commercial operating date for Wolf Creek at 100 percent capacity would be April or May 1985.
Using KG&E's estimate that each month's delay costs about $50 million, the total cost of Wolf Creek could jump by $300 million under the six-month delay predicted by Ross, bringing the overall cost to $3 billion.
Questioned by Fillmore, Ross said KEPCo interpreted current conditions
OF THE CURRENT cost estimate of $2.67 billion, KECP will carry about $195 million, Ross said. The company forecasts a rate increase of about 40 percent for its customers if the KCC increases its payment to be recovered in one rate increase.
to signal a commercial operating date of from late spring to late fall 1985.
said efficiency and productivity had
improved tremendously over the past
Ross said the company had not made imprudent decisions since a new management team was appointed two years ago to oversee construction. He
Ross said he had no proof that cost overruns at Wolf Creek were unreasonably made since Dec. 31, 1981, when KEPCo purchased 6 percent of the plant, but he said he thought some cost overruns could be seen as unnecessary.
UNDER A NEW law taking effect this week, the KCC can prevent utilities from recovering through rate increases any portion of their investment in Wolf Creek resulting from imprudence or mismanagement. Fillmore's questioning repeatedly tried to get Ross's opinion of whether mismanagement or imprudence caused some cost overruns.

Seniors may donate huge Jayhawk balloon
By DAVID LASSiTER Staff Reporter
KU's homecoming parade next year may look a little like the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Not that Mickey Mouse or Superman will be floating down Jayhawk Boulevard, but a giant Jayhawk may if the 1984 senior class gifts out.
The senior class officers of 1984 would like to buy a balloon in the form of a Jayhawk as the senior class gift.
Each year, the senior class buys a gift for the University of Kansas. In the past the gifts have included bird nuggets and buets of past channeling
"This year we're looking at something a little different for the senior class gift," Senior Class Treasurer David Welch said.
AN ALUMNA WHO is a balloon maker has offered to sell at cost to the University a free standing sculpture of the shape of a Jayhawk, Welch said.
He said the senior class officers had a tentative budget of $3,000 to
$4,000. The money is raised by selling class cards and alumni memberships. Welch said that for every $14 membership bought by a senior, the Alumni Association donated two dollars to the senior class.
The senior class officers are in charge of selecting and purchasing the gift In the past, special committees have been formed and placed in charge of choosing the gift. Of such a committee is not being used.
John Petree, senior class vice president, said the officers would also plan to try and get a member of staff to assist with art work at the Alumni Center.
"By that time we should have collected all of the money we could raise and will know exactly what our budget is." Petee said.
Petree said the class officers would announce what the senior class gift would be at the senior breakfast at the end of the year.

THE TRADITION FOR the senior class to donate a gift to the University was started in 1873. The amounts of the gifts for the first few years were relatively small. In 1885 the fund gave $12.25 to a student loan fund
