Wolf Creek continued from p.1
Patterson, R-Independence, criticized Fox for introducing the bill and said Fox was too young to remember when the Legislature first dealt with Wolf Creek in 1976.
Fox said Patterson's remark is irrelevant and defended his bill as a realistic solution to the issue.
Fox's amendments passed on a voice vote with only three committee members voting no.
Farrar tried to recommend one of the other two bills for approval, but Heinemann ruled him out of order. Heinemann then called for the vote on Fox's bill. The bill passed with only Farrar, Patterson and State Rep. Anita Niles, D-Lebo, voting no.
Fox defended his bill against charges by some committee members who said it was "anti-Wolf
"IF YOU SAY that the bill is designed to sink Wolf Creek, you have to assume that something is wrong down there in the first place," he said. "Closing down Wolf Creek is as far from my home as possible."
Fox said his bill was designed to protect KG&E and KCP&L customers.
"If the Corporation Commission demonstrates that the plant was imprudently planned or there is excess generating capacity, then how in the future are you going to ask the consumers to pay or to K?"
AFTER HEARING testimony by the two
"I would say that the whole bill is in the utilities' best interests," he said. "If everything they told us last week was true, then they should have nothing to fear. They should welcome it."
utility companies last week, Fox said that the companies should have no trouble in proving that Wolf Creek was a prudent investment and would not produce unneeded electricity.
The bill was approved a few hours after the KCC released estimates of how much electric rates would increase if the costs of Wolf Creek going to K&E, KC&P and KEPCO customers.
If the costs of the plant were passed on in one year, rates would increase 88 percent for K&E customers, 79 percent for KCP4L customers and 88 percent for KEPCO customers.
If half of the cost of the plant were phased in the first year and one-sixth of the balance were phased in during the following three years, KGAE customers would pay 137 percent more, KCPL customers 104 percent more and KEPCO customers 60 percent more.
A four-year phase-in would increase bills for KG&E customers 138 percent. KCP&L and KEPCO ratepayers would pay 104 and 60 percent more, respectively.
A 10-year phase-in would raise rates for KG&E customers 234 percent. KCP&L and KEPCO ratepayers would pay 166 and 65 percent more respectively.
Governors continued from p.1
"We ought to get down to business and put a package together." Domenic replied.
In a further sign of building pressure from Republicans, Sen. Slade Gorton, R-Wash., offered a $150 billion, three-year deficitation plan, including $51 million in defense plans.
Reagan urged the governors to express their "concern about budgetary matters" by endorsing constitutional amendments requiring a balanced federal budget and giving the president authority to veto individual appropriations by Congress.
TAKING AIM AT a deficit-reduction plan endorsed by the governors' executive committee. Reagan said that raising taxes "isn't the easy way out; in fact, it is not a way out at all."
And budget director David Stockman told the governors their proposal to limit the Pentagon
budget to annual growth of between 2 percent and 4 percent could undermine national security.
Reagan reiterated his view that, with the year's congressional schedule shortened by the political conventions and the fall campaign, long-term action on the deficit must wait.
Thompson said that Reagan "said he had to pursue his down payment strategy as a first signal to the markets that we were concerned about the size of the deficit."
Other governors accused Reagan of relinquishing his leadership responsibility to Conn.
Ohio Gov. Richard Celeste, a Democrat, said he appalled by the bad leadership "shown by Bexar."
"What we're getting is nothing, and that's the sad thing," said Democratic Gov. Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Students at the University of Kansas Medical Center study ways to keep the human body in good condition, but they lack a gymnasium where they can exercise to keep their own bodies in good shape.
Officials say Med Center needs gym

And the lack of a gym may make the transition from the Lawrence campus to the Mt.
Carl Sanders, a lawrence senior who hopes to study medicine at the Med Center, said recently that he would like to see a gym built on the Kansas City campus.
"I GO TO Robinson when I get sick of studying," he said. "Of all the pre-meds I know, I would say they all tend to look toward physical activity as a release rather than a punishment."
Sanjuanja Wilhoite, a Paola junior in the School of Nursing in Kansas City, said that a gym was desperately needed at the Med Center.
"I don't know about medical school, but I do
know that in nursing courses there is a lot of stress," she said. "When you get upset, exercise is a good way to cope with stress. But you have any way to vent our frustrations."
A. J. YARMAT, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs in the College of Health Sciences, said that the Med Center had needed a recreational building for several years.
"A good life includes a form of recreation," he said. "There are 2,500 students up here and over 300 faculty members. It stands to reason that there is a place for faculty. At the present moment we have none."
Yarmat said that past proposals to build recreational facilities at the Med Center were approved.
"I'm chronically interested in seeing a recreational facility be constructed here, and I would like to know more," she said.
Chancellor Gene A. Budig said he was keenly aware of the inadequacies at the Med Center—one of which, he said, was the lack of a gymnasium.
"The problem is finance." Budig said. "The state is in no position to provide funding for this."
BUDIG SAID THAT serious financial demands in educational areas needed to be met before any money could be appropriated for recreational purposes.
But Jackie Shellhorn, Garnett junior and also a nursing student, said, "It's not fair that we should be excluded from a physical fitness program."
Gerald Immaging, director of facilities attending at the Med Center, said that the issue of a lack of training for doctors was
Imming said it was difficult to ask taxpayers to pay for a recreational building instead of an educational building.
"EVERY YEAR IT comes up, and I've participated in the last three years to help show that there is a need for such a facility," he said. "The American Association of Medical Colleges cited the lack of a recreational facility as a deficiency at the Med Center."
He said the University was now considering purchasing a $1.6 million pre-fabricated metal bridge.
The only practical source of revenue for the purchase of a gym is private funds, Imming said.
Spooner anthropology museum to open

not always been treated with tender, loving care and this seems like a very humane building."
When the Museum of Anthropology opens at Spooner Hall this Saturday, it will mark the end of a 37-year search for a permanent home for KU's anthropological collections.
Spooner was originally built in 1894 as the University's library. As KU expanded, Spooner proved far too small to accommodate growing enrollment.
Museum artifacts have been filed, stored, and stuffed in basements, closets, cellars, and tunnels all over campus since the anthropology department acquired a branch of the Museum of Natural History in 1937.
Spooner, the oldest building on campus, is on the National Register of Historic Places, and museum administrators say they think the building will serve its new purpose well.
In 1924, Watson Library opened, and Spooner was left empty for two years. It then became the Spooner-Thayer Museum of Art and served as an art center for the region until 1977, when the Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Art opened.
"We're very happy to be here," said Reinhold Janzen, research associate. "Our objects have
The anthropological objects were moved into Spooner in 1979, and preparation for the official collection began in 1980.
the way in which we show our uniqueness."
The permanent exhibit of the museum will be made up of about 200 items, said Ann Schlager, exhibits associate. She said the permanent exhibit was assembled from more than 5,000 artifacts the museum has collected over the years.
The museum's artifacts include a valuable collection of prehistoric objects from the Great Plains area, a large collection of materials dealing with the socio-economic development of several cultures and a collection of masks from Africa.
"Our collection is eclectic, very diverse." Janzen said. "We have something of everything from a large number of cultures around the world, from ancient and modern culture lives; we are reflected in its artifacts."
