State official wants ban on waste burial
By United Press International
TOPEKA — The head of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment assured a skeptical legislative panel yesterday that feasible alternatives to land burial of hazardous waste exist.
Touting Gov. John Carlin's legislative program on environment, KDHE Secretary Barbara Sabol told the House Energy and Natural Resources Committee a prohibition on land burial of wastes would prevent the type of waterier contamination that occurred at the hazardous waste dump near Furley.
She urged the committee to adopt
legislation banning land burial and disputed statements that her department already had the authority to do so. While she could ban the burial of any one type of hazardous waste, it would not be efficient for her to act individually on the hundreds of hazardous wastes in existence.
"YES. THERE are other alternatives to land burial." Ms. Sabal said to questioning lawmakers. "It's our proposal that you not dig a hole and place (hazardous waste) in the ground where it can leak."
Ms. Sabol said hazardous wastes could be incinerated, stored above ground or, as technology improved, disposed of in landfill addition, proven steps could be taken to
Rep. Keith Farrar, R-Hugeton, told Ms. Sabal he expected her department to submit solid information in the near future comparing the costs of such alternative care and burial. The least expensive ways to dispose of hazardous wastes.
reduce the production of hazardous wastes, she said.
THE FURLEY DUMP was closed two years ago by state officials who discovered life-threatening chemicals had leaked into nearby groundwater. This month, owners of the site submitted a revised application to the Environmental Protection Agency to reopen the site, using land burial.
Ms. Sabol said despite the closing of
Furley — the state's only commercial hazardous waste dump — KDHE had not received complaints from hazardous-waste producers that they are unable to dispose of their wastes elsewhere. At the same time, the state has had numerous cases of illegal duplication of hazardous wastes, she noted.
"We as a department have not found that and in fact, there have been some reports that people have found other ways to deal with it," she said. IN OTHER AREAS, Ms. Sabol said KDHE hoped the Legislature would pass legislation to add a $500,000 "super fund" to help identify and begin cleaning up suspected hazardous waste dumps across the state.

Students design plans for fair
By STEPHANIE HEARN Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
A KU architecture class devoted much energy and time last semester to promoting Kansas City, Mo. as the home of the 1997 World's Fair.
Glen Leroy, assistant professor of architecture and urban design, was recently appointed to the mayor's task force investigating the potential for hosting the World's Fair in Kansas City.
Leroy instructed the fifth-year studio class that worked on the World's Fair 2015.
Greg Garner, St. Louis senior, said that the class had done the project in 2014.

Linda Endebrock, St. Louis senior and a member of the class, said that although she had spent 12 hours of class time and about 40 additional hours a week working on the project, she would do it again if given the opportunity.

Leroy also said that because of the number of cities in the United States interested in sponsoring the World's Fair it was important to publicize what the event might do for the city and to win the citizens' support. He said that the students' work helped promote the idea.
The students' projects will soon be on display in the lobby of the Kansas City Museum.

License sought for Wolf Creek plant
By United Press International
BURLINGTON — A Nuclear Regulatory Commission board today will begin hearings on whether to grant an order to the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant.
The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board hearings, which will last more than three weeks, open at 10 a.m. in the Coffey County Courthouse and continue through Saturday. The meetings move to Emporia State University Monday.
For the first time, the licensing board last Friday denied a utility company's bid to license a commercial atomic reactor. The company issued critical judgments on reactor

applications, but none has ever handed down a final ruling denying a license.

Kansas Gas and Electric Co. is building the Burlington power plant, which it would operate with Kansas City Power & Light Co. and Kansas Active Inc. KG5 and KCP4& each own 47% of the nuclear power plant.
The $2.67 billion nuclear plant, the state's first, is scheduled to begin operation in spring 1985. The Kansas Corporation Commission has said
electric rates could rise as high as 80 percent for customers of the utilities building Wolf Creek, but the utilities estimated rate increases of 30 percent.
PUBLIC TESTIMONY IS expected to be concerned primarily with emergency evacuation plans for the area in case of a nuclear accident. Two women who live within five miles of Wolf Creek have challenged the license application on the grounds that the emergency preparations are inadequate.
Wanda Christy and Mary Ellen Salava have said the emergency plans drawn up by the state and county would not meet the needs of residents.

Officials hope contest trims hall vandalism
By MARY SEXTON Staff Reporter
Consumer group speaks out against telephone-access fee
By TODD NELSON Staff Reporter
The $500 first prize will be awarded to the residence hall that
This semester KU residence halls are trying a new approach to a destructive problem.
THE CONTEST BEGAN yesterday and will continue until March 9, said Worden, who is chairman of the Housing and Contracts Committee of the Association of University Residence Halls.
The Association of University Residence Halls is sponsoring a contest in which KU students can win prizes for a trip to the vandalism in their residence halls.
Most of that money, he said, went to repair broken ceiling tiles, windows and damaged furniture.
This week the association will work to alert consumers to the access charge and to encourage them to contact their consultant, said Clyde Chapman, the director
Vandalism during the last two semesters caused more than $50,000 damage to University residence hall and cost the contest's organizer, said yesterday.
Staff Reporter
The Lawrence Consumer Affairs Association wants to help stop American Telephone & Telegraph from charging consumers an extra monthly fee for access to long distance lines, the association's director said yesterday.
Worden said the $1,253 available for prize money might be used for hall improvement, such as purchasing a new television, or to provide for a special dinner hall or hall determine how to use the money
has the greatest percentage decrease in the dollar value of vandalism damage from last year's total for the same period, he said. To be eligible for a prize, the residence record at least a 5 percent reduction.
Fred McElhenne, director of residential programs, said this was the first time an anti-vandalism contest had been sponsored.
Informing the public about the new Infor- ming the public about the new is important because ATKT has launched its most extensive lobbying efforts to ensure that all of the access charges, Chapman said.
"ITS INTENDED TO educate residents on what they can do to deter vandalism." McEllenie said.
Pamela Kulczyk, director of McCollum Hall, said vandalism there included plugged sinks, broken panels in front of elevators and stolen trays, silverware and glassware.
The association is also planning to circulate a petition in support of a bill, now before the U.S. Senate, he said, calling for two years delay on the access charge.
If senators don't hear from their constituents they will think that consumers don't mind the increase, he said.

THE ACCESS CHARGE would add a monthly fee to the phone bills of local users to pay for access to long distance telephone lines, according to a report by Campaign for Affordable Phones, a national coalition of citizens' groups.
The access charge is designed to pay for the maintenance of local telephone equipment, Chapman said. In the past, because long distance users shared the equipment with local users, long expenses included 25 percent of those expenses.
With the new access charge, Chapman said, local users would pay for all maintenance expenses, including that phone bill. He merely paid for by long distance users.
The court-enforced breakup of the Bell system has caused AT&T to change its billing procedure for long calls, necessitating an access charge.
Long distance rates will drop because the maintenance fee will no longer be right.
INITIALLY THE MONTHLY access charge will be $2 for residential phones and $4 for business phones, he said.
