Budig to dedicate research center in Spain
By the Kansan Staff
A joint effort between the University of Kansas Medical Center and a research institute in Valencia, Spain, will be formally dedicated this week.
Chancellor Gene A. Budig and Eugene Staples, hospital administrator, left with their wives yesterday for Valencia on the eastern coast of Spain, to represent KU in the dedication of the International Center for Cell Biology.
The University and the Institute for Cell Research in Valencia have had an informal agreement since 1979, said Billy Hudson, dean of research in the College of Health Sciences.
The Valencia institute is financed by a private foundation in Spain. That foundation is paying for the KU representatives' expenses, according to Jim Scally, assistant to the chancellor.
SCALLY SAID THAT this was the first time Budig had gone to another country as a representative of the University.
About 15 researchers from the Med Center have worked at the institute, Hudson said, and about 10 of the staff members have done research professors at the Med Center.
The agreement will be formalized to stimulate interest in the International Center, Hudson said, and to make it
eligible to apply for part of about $10 million in medical-research grants available annually through the State Department under a U.S.-Spain friendship treaty.
Hudson said he hoped the International Center would begin cooperative research in microbiology, the immune system and molecular genetics. Researchers from KU have usually spent from two to four weeks at the institute, although some have stayed longer.
Utility, city discuss winter fuel programs
By SUSAN WORTMAN Staff Reporter
Representatives of Kansas Public Service Gas Co. and members of the Lawrence City Commission met yesterday to study the Cold Weather Rule and fuel assistance program proposed by the Natural Gas Task Force.
At the City Commission meeting last week, the task force proposed that KPS follow the Cold Weather Rule established by the Kansas Corporation Commission. They also recommended that the city start a fuel assistance relief program to help low-income people pay winter fuel bills.
Olin K. Petefish, attorney for KPS,
said the company would voluntarily
comply with the Cold Weather Rule, if
the commission would grant two exten-
sions.
UNDER KCC RULES, the gas
company would not be able to turn off a customer's gas if the temperature was forecast to drop below 32 degrees. William Salome III, president and general manager of KPS, said he was concerned that people would not pay bills during winter. If they knew that their gas would not be turned off.
"What if we set up a level payments for 12 months and they leave the residence after six months?" Salome asked. "We want proof that they will be there in the 12-month period, whether they so-written or from the landlord."
Also, Salome said, he was not sure whether a Level Payment Plan which would allow customers to spread out their payments over the summer months.
Commissioner Ernest Angino said his main concern was with student custom
"Students are going to blow town," he said. "They have the same problems in Emporia and Manhattan, but since KU is the biggest, it has the biggest
PETEFISH SAID KPS was also concerned about possible lawsuits.
"On a few occasions, we have been warned that some people have threatened to sue our company and the city in a class action if a plan detrimental to other rate-payers is implemented," he said.
Due to a Kansan copy error on Mon. Oct. 31, the offer is only good Sunday thru Thursday.
Because KPS is not under the jurisdiction of that company, it has no utility purpose and is not a customer.
the city should promote such a program or let volunteer groups like Warm Industries a local group that provided fundraiser events in mapping needy people pay their utility bills.
During the study session, fuel assistance was also discussed. Commissioning of the new facility
