KU professors honored in art show
During the opening ceremonies for a visual arts exhibition yesterday at Washburn University's Mulvane Art Center in Topeka, two KU professors were recognized for their achievements in the Kansas Four, a visual arts competition.
Jon Havner, associate professor of design, captured second place with his brass, abstract sculpture "Stop Action."
Norman Gee, associate professor of art, placed fourth with his enamel painting "P-Series." The painting was of Chinese imagery on a canvas surface.
More than 600 artists entered the competition.
The contest was named the Kansas Four because it is in its fourth year. Paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures were the categories of competition. The winners' works will be on exhibition in Mulvane Art Center through Feb. 26.

Fort Hays awaits specimens' return
HAYS — Fort Hays State University officials have recovered their full-sized dik-dik and are optimistic the head of a greater kudu and the skull of a Cane buffalo soon will show up.
skull or a Cape Verdean skin will win the wipe. The specimens, which were to be mounted at an exhibit at the university's Sternberg Museum, were stolen last fall. Officials only recently announced the theft in a plea for their return.
"The dik-dik was returned," university police Capt. Donald Brown said Sunday. "We found it at the front door of the museum early Saturday morning."
Brown said officials hoped the greater kudu also would show up.
"I don't think the buffalo skull was that important," he said.
The return of the dik-dik would indicate that whoever had the dik-dik has the other ones or knows who had them, Brown said.
Hays resident Ross Beach donated 24 animals to the museum in September. He and a friend had bagged them during African safaris
At the time of the theft, the specimens were awaiting treatment with a substance that prevents insect damage, said museum director Jerry
"Without that treatment, they will deteriorate very rapidly," he said. According to Brown, the 2½-foot-tall dik-dik resembles a small antelope and a greater kudu looks like a cross between an antelope and a moose.

KP&L says plan may raise gas bills
Bv ROBIN PALMER
Natural gas bills for area residents could increase if Mobil Oil Corp. is released from its agreement to sell low-cost natural gas to the city's gas supplier, a Kansas Power and Light official said last week.
Staff Reporter
Mobil filed a petition with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Dec. 7 asking for permission to abandon service to Northwest Central Pipeline Corp., the company that sells gas to Lawrence utilities.
HAL HUDSON, KP&L director of public affairs, said that prices for consumerscould increase because the cost of the gas sold by Mobil is lower than average and replacement gas would be higher.
Mobil's action could force the pipeline company to buy higher-priced gas and the cost could ultimately lead to lower fuel prices. The University of Kansas, Hudson said to
The average price for 1,000 cubic feet of natural gas, or an MCF, is $2-$3 and sometimes reaches as high as $5, said Tom Taymer, manager of public information for the Gas Service Company in Kansas City, Mo.
PAUL HELLMAN, general manager of Mobil's Denver operation, said that the proposal would have, "absolutely on the price for the consumer."
The natural gas that Mobil ships to Lawrence sells for 47 cents for each barrel.
Hellman said the proposal involved the release of natural gas reserves and natural gas liquids.
Hellman said that the natural gas supply was ample enough for Mobil to supply all the business and residential area and still have gas left over.
Last week, KP&L and the Gas Service Co. in Kansas City filed a joint motion to intervene in Mobl's proposal.
They want the FERC to be a hearing so that both sides can be heard. Taylor and
LANGDON POLAND, manager of public affairs for Northwest Central Pipeline, said that the company had not taken a position. Poland said that it was his understanding that both sides were allowed to petition.
Mobil wants to use the gas in a tertiary oil recovery process. In this process, the gas is used to fuel vehicles and is more oil out of underground reservoirs.
Mobil is now doing research on tertiary oil recovery and is not now using the process for oil recovery, said Marilee Smith, public affairs manager.
If the proposal is granted, Mobil would be released from selling almost 33 billion cubic feet of natural gas from the Oklahoma part of the Hugoton oil field. The field runs under parts of Oklahoma, west central Kansas and Texas.
Currently, Mobil supplies western
Kansas and Oklahoma with four million cubic feet of gas a day, Smith said.

KP&L and the Gas Service Co. want Mobil to prove how using natural gas in tertiary recovery is in the public's greatest interest.
Although the utilities do not have a contract with Mobil, all natural gas that passes across state lines is subject to a permit basis of public necessity, Poland said.
"We have the right to use gas as fuel and FERC has, in the past, released gas for tertiary recovery," Smith said. "It's been done in the past in the nation."
Natural gas is under federal price control and is the lowest priced gas that the Gas Service Co. has access to.
WTCS barely getting by, directors report
By JILL CASEY
Staff Reporter
Sometimes the phone rings only once a week. Often it arouses staff members and volunteers from their slumber several times a night.
No matter how often it rings, or at what time, someone must be there to manage it.
But for the handful of volunteers and two staff members at Women's Transitional Care Services, a Lawrence shelter for battered women, the calls for help are becoming increasingly difficult to answer.
DESPITE INCREASED demand over the past year, financial woes have forced the shelter to lay off three staff members and hire a director for the center, said Friday.
Smith and Joyce Grover, the center's co-director, have relied solely on the
help of volunteers to fill in for the three staff members who were dismissed.
Last week Smith and Grover related the financial plight of WTCS to Kansas legislators during hearings on domestic violence.
"The problem is becoming fairly well received," Smith said. "This is something a lot of people have had on their hands." He added, "going to go away. It's not just a phase."
WTCs is financed by the United Way and other sources, including Douglas County and Lawrence revenue sharing Senate at the University of Kansas.
Smith said she hoped that last week's hearings would persuade state legislators to appropriate state money for the center.
With state funds, she said, the center would not have to rely so heavily on money from community sources that is often hard to come by.
AT THE LEGISLATIVE hearings, Smith testified that the number of women turning to WTCS had increased about 60 percent but that funds for the shelter had been cut by nearly 50 percent last year.
The shelter has not turned women away, Grover said. But the shortage of money is limiting the services the center can offer.
Smith said that had economic conditions had led to an increase in domestic violence, prompting more battered women in the Lawrence area to seek help.
The center's services are also in higher demand, she said, because the center is becoming well-known in the community.
But Grover said that even if state financing wasn't received, WTCS would continue to offer food and shelter to battered women and their children.
"The shelter will always be there," she said. "Somehow we will remain."
The shelter receives women who have been physically abused by their husbands or boyfriends and need an undisclosed place to stay.
NO ADDRESS IS listed in the phone book, but women in trouble may call the center and arrange a place to meet a WTCs volunteer. Smith said.
If a woman needs medical care, Smith said, she will be taken to a hospital emergency room by the shelter advocate.
Sixty-four percent of the women the shelter receives are between the ages of 21 and 30. Thirty-five percent of the women have been beaten by their boyfriends, 55 percent by their husbands, Smith said.
Grover and Smith said that about 85 percent of the women who come to WTCS bring young children with them.
