Parking lots at Med Center are too small
Multi-level lots are only remedy, spokesman says
By the Kansan Staff
"The only place we can go is up with another parking garage," said Gerald Immong, the official and the director of facilities planning.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Although high prices for parking permits at the University of Kansas Medical Center keep parking lots only partially full, the lots would overflow if all the Med Center students and staff parked in the lots, a Med Center official said recently.
He said that construction of multilevel parking garages offer the only solution to parking problem because much of the land at the Med Center had already been designated for the construction of other buildings.
BUT IMMING ALSO said that parking garages were more expensive than renting.
"The Board of Regents didn't appropriate money to the parking services."
Any money to build a new parking garage must come from revenue bonds,
"The revenue bonds used to build the existing parking garage are being paid off through $400-ayear permits," he said. "Doctors are about the only people who park there. To retire the revenue bonds on a new garage, it would cost $500 a year. Fewest $600 a year. There's no way students — even staff — could afford that."
HE SAID THAT the money parking services received from permits and fines was only enough to maintain existing lots. He said that parking services did not have enough revenue to build an additional garage.
But all the parking problems at the Med Center could be corrected if the Regents would appropriate money to the parking services, said Jay Spicer, a professor in diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine.
"If the Regents would appropriate money to the parking services so that permit fees could be dropped in the future, we'd have 'new' parking areas, could be built.
Bill planned to stop utilities' skirting of Wolf Creek costs
By the Kansan Staff
TOPEKA — A bill that would prohibit two utility companies from charging their customers for building the Wolf Creek Nuclear Plant near Burlington will be introduced tomorrow, the bill's author said yesterday.
The author, Rep. Robert Vancum,
R-Overland Park, said that about 15
legislators had signed the bill. "The
legislation is partisan and from all
areas," he said.
Vancrum said the bill would allow the Kansas Corporation Commission to start investigating Wolf Creek to determine whether parts of the plant were "imprudent" or if the utility was producing excess electricity.
IF SO. THE KCC would have the power to prohibit Kansas Gas and Electric Co. of Wichita and Kansas City Power and Light Co. of Kansas City, Mo., from charging their customers for the cost of building those parts of the plant or of producing too much electricity, he said.
The bill would allow the utilities to defer the costs of the parts or the excess electricity, and customers would not have to pay for 10 or 15 years.
The companies are not charging their customers now for the plant, located about 75 miles southwest of Lawrence in Coffey County. But once Wolf Creek starts producing electricity, KGE and KCPL are planning to
pay for it by charging its customers more per kilowatt-hour of electricity.
Vancurr said he wrote the bill because he was concerned that such large increases would not be fair to KGE and KCPL customers.
The KCC HAS estimated that the two companies will have to charge the 350,000 homes they serve between 50 and 80 percent more per kilowatt-hour.
"For the last two or three months, I've been getting more and more concerned about the type of increases being talked about and what's going to be done about them," he said. "So far, the suggestions that have been floated to deal with this problem have been inadequate."

State high court names new judge to try suspect in Lawrence arson
A Lawrence man, ordered in January to stand trial for the alleged arson of his downtown business, will be tried by a different judge than previously assigned to the case, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled recently.
Gary Natziger, an associate district judge from Oksaloakea, was appointed last week by the Court to preside over the trial. No trial date has been determined
Thomas Harvey Black was charged in October 1982 of setting fire to The Royal College Shop. 837 Massachusetts insurance claim a fraudulent insurance claim
MARVIN BRUMETT, a retired Concordia associate district judge, ruled in November, 1982 that Black students stand trial due to a lack of evidence.
Jerry Harper, Douglas County district attorney, appealed Brummett's decision to the Kansas Supreme Court which overruled it Jan. 13.
Evidence presented against Black at the 1982 hearing included testimony from Black's insurance company that one week before the fire, his inventory coverage had been increased to $161,000. At the time of the fire, the store's inventory was worth about $100,000, employees testified.
Brummett was selected to preside over the trial after the four Douglas County District Court judge disqualified themselves from the case.
James Paddock, one of the judges appointed Brummett to the case.

Bottle and can deposit is part of anti-litter bill
From Staff and Wire Reports
State Rep. Leary Johnson
'There is a tremendous amount of trash out there on the highway. Most of it is bottles and cans.' State Rep. Leary Johnson
TOPEKA — Beer and soda pop would cost a little more, but sponsors of a House bill introduced yesterday think it would make the cleaner would make the highways cleaner.
Under the bill, beverage cans and bottles in Kansas would be required to carry a 10-cent deposit, and the penalty for littering would be increased.
"If this isn't the solution, I hope somebody will come up with a solution."
"There's a tremendous amount of trash out there on the highway," said State Rep. Leary Johnson, R-Amoney. "Most of it is bottles and cans."
bill that would raise the penalty for littering was a new angle.
Fines now range from $10 to $500
Under the bill, the fine would be from
$10 to $200.
And, instead of a fine, judges could place offenders on probation or require 10 to 100 hours of community service clean-up work.
THE BILL WOULD save energy. Miller said, because it takes less energy to recycle reusable containers

than to manufacture new containers.
State Rep. Robert H. Miller, R-Wellington, said that a provision in the
JOHNSON SAID THE bill incorporated the best parts of laws in nine states that prohibit non-returnable containers.
He said that the manufacturer objected to the requirements because they would lose money and that the grocery stores objected because they didn't want to take back all the empty cans.
Miller said that in the past similar measures had attracted opposition from the manufacturers of the containers and from grocery stores.
"You'll notice that a lot of the convenience stores don't sell the returnables anymore," he said.
