In June, the EPA charged the University a $10,000 fine for five violations of federal toxic waste guidelines. The EPA originally proposed a $33,800 fine but the amount was later reduced.
Other violations cited by the EPA were incomplete record-keeping, improper labeling of toxic materials and improper construction specifications for waste storage facilities. McCullers said then that he was pleased with KU's response to the problem.
THE GENERAL ELECTRIC Co. which was also responsible for disposal of the material, removed more than 270 barrels containing soil contaminated with PCBs from the West Campus team said. KU was responsible for preparing the transformers and excavating the soil for removal.
Electrical transformers and capacitors stored in violation of EPA guidelines had leaked a mixture of oil and PCBs into the soil, he said.
John Horton, EPA spokesman, said PCBs were mixed with oil to serve as a cooling agent in transformers.
EPA regulations require that transformers containing 50 parts per million must be inspected quarterly and that transformers with that mixture must be identified.

limiting medium-range missiles in Europe and refused to set a date for resuming talks on strategic missiles and conventional forces on the continent.
Beem said the transformers, such as the ones found leaking in the stadium, probably began leaking sometime between the quarterly inflight and midday. "It's hard to imagine the EPA, detail inspection fundhacks, be said
"This tells us a great deal about which side is eager for progress," Hallt said as Gromyko listened impassively to his remarks in the conference hall.
Oroke said the age of the transformers also had contributed to the leaks. Old seals on transformer casings allow the PCB-oil mixture to leak.
"Nevertheless, the door remains open." Shultz said.
He spoke one day after President Reagan urged the Kremlin in a speech televised in the United States and Europe to make nuclear arms reductions the top priority of the superpowers.
Moscow has said it would not return to the talks until NATO pulled out the new U.S. nuclear missiles it deployed late last year in western Europe.
The United States says cancellation of its plans to deploy 572 new Pershing-2 and cruise missiles would give the Soviets a monopoly on intermediate range missiles that now amount to more than 300 triple-warheads.
Shultz said the United States would soon present a draft treaty at the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva "for the complete and verifiable elimination of chemical weapons on a
THE 40-NATION conference has discussed such a ban for seven years and the United States has accused the Soviets of using chemical weapons in Cambodia and Afghanistan.
Last week, the Warsaw Pact nations proposed a ban on chemical weapons in Europe.
"This enterprise cannot prosper in conditions where some nations seek global or regional military superiority or resort to threats or to intimidation as instruments of their foreign policy, especially referring to Soviet actions in Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Afghanistan.

the arena, the rights of copyright owners are clearly and precisely defined. Valenti said.
Valenti noted that the court agreed that legislation may be warranted, and said "the Congress must decide whether or not copyright is real or whether it is mush."
Movie-industry lobbyists are expected to be quick to press for revised copyright laws when Congress returns next week. One proposal, supported by Hollywood, would force makers of videotape recorders to pay a royalty free to producers and performers.
THE COURT RULING held that present copyright law does not bar home recording of shows and movies from television for personal use.
"One may search the Copyright Act in vain for any sign that the elected representatives of the millions of people who watch television every day have made it unlawful to copy a
program for later viewing at home, or have enacted a flat prohibition against the sale of machines that make such copying possible." The majority wrote for the majority in the 5-4 decision.
He acknowledged, however, that Congress may "take a fresh look at this new technology" and revisite the law to compensate for the lack of lawyers for any losses resulting from videotaping.
Stevens called videotaping for personal viewing a "fair use" exemption from the Copyright Act.
"Any individual may reproduce a copyrighted work for a 'fair use,' the copyright owner does not possess the exclusive right to such a use." Stevens wrote

opinion.
But Justice Harry Blackmun, leading the dissenters, argued that the decision "atters dramatically" the fair use principle to the Court. The Court rejected "bettices Thurgood Marshall, Lewis Powell
Justices Thurgood Marshall, Lewis Powell and William Rehnquist joined in the dissent.
Rep. Don Edwards, D-Calif., who has introduced a bill to provide Hollywood producers with royalties for home-taping of films and TV programs, called the Supreme Court decision "disappointing," but said the issue "is not resolved."
The court, he said, "invited Congress to resolve the issue which I think is entirely appropriate."
SEN. DENNIS DECONCINI, D-Ariz., last year sponsored a bill to exempt home taping from the current copyright law, hailed the ruling as a victory for the consumer.

SENIORS Introducing Hilltoppers
The Jayhawker Yearbook is happy to announce the rebirth of an old tradition, the Hilltoppers. The Hilltoppers Awards are the Jayhawker's way of recognizing those seniors who have made high calibre contributions to the University and/or Lawrence community. The award, which was last given in 1973, is being brought back by this year's yearbook staff and interested parties within the University.
Criteria for selection includes:
involvement and leadership in campus and community activities
— respect of the nominee's peers as-well-as his or her professors
- references that can address the quality of the nominee's service
- a GPA of around 3.0, however grades will not play an extremely important part in the selection
The nominations will be screened by a committee that includes KU faculty, student representatives, and the Jayhawker staff. Anyone can nominate a senior for this award, and seniors can nominate themselves by picking up an application. They will be available at the Office of Student Organizations and Activities, 403 Kansas Union, and the Yearbook Office, 121 B Kansas Union. Deadline for acceptance of applications is Friday, January 20, 1984.
