3 firms fined for violations of toxic waste regulations
TOPEKA — The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has fined three companies in Topeka, Olathe and Parsons a total of $3,650 for violating hazardous waste regulations and laws.
KHDIE spokesman Moody said yesterday that Topea Metal Specialties had been ordered to pay $2,150. Delco Remy Division of GMC in Olathe has been finned $1,000 and Parsons Precision Products has been audited for $30. All the penalties were assessed in the past month, Moody said.
Moody said Delco Remy was fined for failure to conduct weekly inspections of hazardous waste storage areas and failure to train hazardous waste management personnel. The division has been granted additional training to handle the KDHE reviews its application for permanent status. Moody said.
Topeka Metal Specialties was cited for improper storage and handling of hazardous waste and failure to provide a required emergency plan for disposal. Barrels of hazardous waste stored at the company were not closed and were marked improperly. KDHE officials said.
The company has been ordered to ship all hazardous waste stored at the plant to a permitted hazardous waste dump
Parsons Precision Products was cited for illegal transportation and disposal of hazardous waste. Five drums of ignitable liquid hazardous wastes were taken to the Labette County landfill and disposed of by the company, Moody said.

Hack, 54, has served as a member of the Lawrence School Board, on the Boys' Club board of directors, the United Fund board of directors and the Children's Hour board of directors. She has also served as a mission president and was a Joycey Jaynes Woman of the Year nominee in 1976.

The testing was scheduled to be between 8 a.m. and noon, but it did not start until 3:35 p.m., said Al Berman, KANU's director of development.
Yesterday's rainy weather forced the scheduled testing of KANU's new antenna and existing transmitter to be delayed for several hours, leaving the station off the air for most of the afternoon.

The tests, which will be conducted until the station reaches its full broadcasting power of 110,000 watts, he said, will ensure that the station has a stable transmission at full power. Berman said that he didn't know how long the tests would last, and that during that time the station would be off the air several times.
The station has been operating at reduced power since shortly after Dec. 18, 1982, when wandails destroyed the tower and antenna.
Watkins clinic to stay open longer
Watkins Hospital will have new clinic hours beginning today. The hours are from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Previously, the clinic was closed between 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m.
James Strobl, acting director of Watkins Hospital and student health service, said the new hours were established to be more convenient for students.
A CORBIN HALL resident reported that her purse and its contents, worth $135, were stolen Friday or Saturday by a burglar who entered her room through the window. KU police said.

A COMPUTER TERMINAL worth $149 was stolen during the weekend from a room in Fraser Hall, KU police said.

Hundreds of hours of sorting through movie frames may be tedious work for some. But it's the sort of jazz Dick Wright can live with.
Wright, associate professor of music history and journalism, said yesterday that he would be cataloguing a $200 000 jazz film collection that the Kansas City, Mo., City Council has decided to buy.

entire Med Center complex.
The collection is the largest and
rarest of its kind in the world. Wright
von Ende said that the expansion of the infant intensive care unit was not intended to promote competition with other hospitals.
"It includes everything dealing with jazz under the sun," he said.
"There are only two hospitals in the area with neonatal intensive care units," he said. "One is the Med Center and the other is Children's Mercy. It's not so much what the new equipment will do for the Med Center, it's just that there is a need for that type of equipment."
The Legislature this year voted to allocate money for requests that it had previously rejected, von Ende said. The legislature also awarded money for several new requests.
IF CARLIN SIGNS the bill, some of the $164.9 million would go for 1984 supplemental requests and the rest would go for the 1985 budget.
The Kansas City Council is in the midst of completing paperwork before it buys the collection, which is owned by the state and a year-old attorney from Columbus, Ohio.
THE MONEY APPROPRIATED for the infant intensive care unit will be used to buy three double-walled incubators, three cardiac monitors and other medical equipment used in infant care.
The Legislature voted to allocate $100,000 to expand the infant intensive care unit and about $4.7 million to expand the Applegate Energy Center. The appropriations bill also includes about $1.6 million to buy a Donier Kidney Lithotriptor, a machine used in the treatment of kidney stones.
gave us everything we told them we thought we needed.
The revenue for the expansion of the Applegate Energy Center was approved this year after a three-year wait, he said.
Under the bill, unclassified employees at the Med Center would receive a 7 percent raise, which is the raise that would be given to all unclassified employees in the Board of Regents schools.
Gerald Immaging, director of facilities planning at the Med Center, said that the $4.7 million appropriated for the energy center, which heats and cools buildings in the room, would be used to supply additional chilled water cooling to all buildings.
Immaging said that the present watercooling system was too small for the
THE COLLECTION includes about 400 viewing hours of rare jazz films, movies from the 1930s and 1940s, early television documentaries and short film clips, called "soundies," of black jazz musicians.
Wright said that the collection included ten items, some of which have never been seen.
He said that he had volunteered to catalogue the collection for the city, and that he would be sorting through all the films and identifying the performers in the films.
Wright said that the collection probably would be stored at KU while he was working on it.

CAROLYN STOCKWELL, an advisor for the block grant program and a consultant for Kansas City, Mo., Mayor Richard Berkley, said that the collection also included artifacts, books and newspaper clippings.
She said that several other groups — including the University of Indiana, the Black Archives of Film and Broadcasting in New York and a group from Iowa that has been purchasing the collection, which Baker had accumulated since 1943.
At one point, she said, soul singer Stevie Wonder had been interested in buying the collection for a California-based black archives.
Plans for displaying the collection, once it arrives in Kansas City, are dictated by a block grant ordinance that requires it to be somewhere in the city. That is where they stand, streets, Stockwell said. That location in the city is famous for its jazz roots.

Members of the East Lawrence Improvement Association last night opened fire on City Commissioner Larry Burton and others about the content of their newsletter.
Longhurst said he thought that the newsletter, because it was financed by government money, should not be printed. The letter was designated to them as such.
Board of Class Officers
"The content of the newsletter ought to be appropriate to a newsletter," Longhurst said. "You shouldn't stake out an editorial position with a newsletter that's funded with government money! I think the Oread newsletter is more about what a newsletter ought to be."
Longhurst and Mayor Ernest Angin recently suggested to other Lawrence City Commissioners that the newsletter should be reduced.
Bring your student I.D. !!
Longhurst recommended that the East Lawrence neighborhood receive $1,000 for operating expenses instead of the $12,000 allocated by the Community Development Block Grant Advisory Board. Operating expenses include allocations for the newsletter's pro-
grams, fundraising and other director and editor of the newsletter.
He also recommended a reduction for the Oread Neighborhood Association from $9,000 to $5,000.
The City Commission will tonight consider the community development board's recommendations for allocation of the federal funds.
Angino's suggestions were to allocate $7,000 for each of the two neighborhoods.
But members of the East Lawrence neighborhood association are not satisfied with the suggestions. They invited Longhurst to their monthly neighborhood meeting to discuss issues related to the litter issue and other issues of concern.
Barry Shalinsky, East Lawrence newsletter director, said of the meeting, "I think we understand his position a little better and I think he understands us a little better. I exerted it. I stick by his position of $1,000."
