EPA, state officials to meet on suitability of dump site
TOPEKA — State officials plan to meet next week with Environmental Protection Agency scientists who have recommended that the hazardous waste dump near Furley never be reopened, a spokesman said today.
A team of three EPA scientists based in Ada, Okla., sent a report this week to state and federal environmental officials saying that the leaking landfill is not suitable for use as a hazardous waste dump and cleanup efforts should be strengthened.
Bob Moody, a spokesman for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said the agency was unable to say what effect the seven-page report would have on the pending decision by the EPA and KDHE on whether the dump should be reopened.
KDHE officials want to meet next week with the scientists who submitted the report to find out what methods and facts they used to reach their strongly worded conclusions, Moody said. KDHE Secretary Barbara Sabol has indicated that the EPA report might have been based on outdated facts.
The EPA scientists' report is the first and only recommendation so far against reopening the hazardous waste dump, which was closed two years ago by the state after life-threatening chemicals were discovered leaking into nearby ground water.
County approves budget resolution
The Douglas County Commission approved yesterday a resolution for the 1985 proposed budget for the county appraiser's office.
By law, the resolution for the 1985 proposed budget must be published for two weeks. After a 60-day waiting period, Douglas County voters can petition for an election to decide whether the amount will be approved or rejected, Gordon said.
If an election is not requested, the budget request will go before the Douglas County Commission for final approval in August.
Money for the operation of the county appraiser's office is part of the general fund and is figured in the county taxes.

Carlin approves bill requiring children to be in safety seats
By United Press International
TOPEKA — Gov. John Carlin yesterday put his stamp of approval on a bill that toughens the state law that requires young children to be restrained in safety seats while riding in cars.
The measure, introduced by State Rep. Jess Branson, D-Lawrenceville.
Under the provisions of the bill, children up to 4 years of age, rather than the current 2 years of age, must be protected by safety restraining seats while riding in a car with their parents or guardians.
The new law also requires a $10 fine for anyone convicted of violating the state
The issue of child restraining seats touched off a heated battle in the Kansas Senate this year, with opponents saying the government is infringing on the rights of parents to care for their children.
But supporters said many parents are not aware of the danger.
The Senate also defeated a bill that would have dissolved the present Finance Committee and formed a new one.
Speaking in favor of the GLSOK resolution, Douglas Stallings, a member of the Minority Affairs Committee and the author of the resolution, said that by passing the resolution the Senate was showing that it did not discriminate because of sexual preference.
Just one day after the Student Senate Finance Committee denied money to Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas, the Senate last night passed a resolution proclaiming tomorrow as Gay and Lesbian Awareness Day.
The Senate must give final approval to the budget, and Student Body president Carla Fogel has said she will not include an allocation for GLOSK.
BEFORE PASSING the resolution, 34-8-2, the Senate added an amendment saying that by passing the resolution the Senate was not accepting or rejecting homosexual lifestyle.
The Finance Committee voted Tuesday to deny funds to GLSOK for a $7.6 million loan.
tee said that GLSOK was self-
supporting. GLSOK had asked for
them.
The Student Executive Committee will meet today to discuss the Finance Committee's budget and to consider calling a special Senate meeting next week to begin working through the budget.
After almost two hours of debate last night, the Senate defeated the bill to allow $10 million in funding.
The original bill, which the Minority Affairs Committee passed Saturday, called for the formation of a new committee that would exclude members who discriminated against student groups on the basis of their national origin, social standing, sex, race, national origin, disability or economic status.

Robert Walker, Social Welfare senator, amended the bill to open the committee to new members. The amendment would have been allowed to remain.
