our other women took two bicycle chains in hand and slipped in.
Treaster said that once inside the gate it took the women about two and one-half minutes to secure the chains tightly.
"During that time one security officer advanced to grab the chain, but he stopped and stepped back, possibly to wait for the police to arrive." Treacher said.
She estimated that she and the other protesters were chained to the gate for about 25 minutes before police arrived.
KU graduate student Seraph Morgan, a spokesman for the group that organized the weekend Women's and Children's Peace Camp and the march and rally at the front gate, said that the rally began as the women were chaining themselves to the gate.
WOMEN AND CHILDREN listened to the rally's speakers while yelling and cheering in support of the protestors' actions, she said.
"Three children were cheering for their mother who was chained to the fence." Morgan said.
Morgan said that some of workers leaving the plant jeered at the protesters from passing cars.
Fromme said the protest should not have taken place while the workers were leaving.
"They chose the wrong time to chain themselves to the gate," he said. "Quitting time is not the time to do that and the workers weren't too pleased."
"They should be thankful they were arrested." Fromme said. "We could have had trouble."
MORGAN SAID THAT rally participants did not appear to be in danger from the workers and that participants in the rally realized that there would be a shift change at the time of the rally.
"We understand that the people who work there must pay rent and feed their children," Morgan said.
"But we wanted them to see us and think about what they are doing."
Lyle Koeper, KG&E manager of corporate communications, said, "When laws are broken the seriousness of the demonstration then becomes evident to all of society."
This type of demonstration does present a problem, he said, because both KG&E and taxpayers must pay to maintain law and order.
Koerper also said that demonstrations involving arrests represented "a real danger to life."
"This has been the first time there has been a demonstration at the site or Wichita that we have not been informed of," he said.
Koeper said that in the past, demonstrators had always contacted law enforcement officials.
Morgan said that the weekend Women's and Children's Peace Camp at John Redmond Reservoir and the rally at the plant's gate were well-publicized and had been organized, but that the decision to engage in illegal activities was a decision made by individuals.
"THERE WAS NO CONSPIRACY to get five people arrested," she said.
"If five non-violent people chained to a fence can tie up the entire security force at Wolf Creek there is definitely a security problem."
Morgan said that she was disappointed that the media focused primarily on the arrests and not the other educational activities of the weeken.
"We showed five films and slide shows and had six workshops dealing with peace issues." Morgan said. "I wish we could have gotten more coverage on that."

In other business, the commission authorized City Manager Buford Watson to sign an agreement with Capitol Airlines of Manhattan to provide air service to Kansas City International Airport.
Flights will leave Lawrence Municipal Airport weekdays at 7:15, 10:15 and 10:45, and 1:15.
Flightes will leave Kansas City International at 9:15 a.m. and leave 12:35, 1:45, 4:45, 9:15 and 12:45.
Under the agreement, Capitol will have to file fare changes with the city 15 days before they become effective, but the commission cannot deny them a rate change.
The commission also voted unanimously to grant a zoning variance to the new K.S. "Boots" Adams Alumni Center at KU so the University can construct a sign in front the building.
THE COMMISSION ALSO granted an extension to Bob Brown so that he could make repairs to a vacant house he owns at 725 New Jersey St.
The city had been considering tearing down the house.
The commission had issued two deadlines to Brown to make repairs to the house, which, in the meantime, will be used for other projects.
Commissioner Nancy Shontz admonished Brown for not meeting the deadline, but Brown said that he had not been able to get building permits for the wiring and plumbing needed on his property.
"I think if I were in your shoes, I would have done everything I could to get the work done because I knew the city would take my house if I didn't meet the deadline," she said.
Richard Kersenbahum, 1112 New Jersey St., said that the commission should not be tearing down buildings in that area against the wishes of the residents.
"I have yet to see anyone come down here from East Lawrence who wants these houses
"Maybe it comes from someone who has an interest in de-stabilizing the neighborhood."
KERSIENBAUM LATER said there was "a little war on going" between homeowners in the area and nearby industries that wanted to see businesses torn down so that the industries could expand

"Dave Pruitt's guitar riffs sear like high, hot whips. Henderson's harp walls like a grieving widow; the bass and drums drive the band like a freight train."
howing good time. Within EagleBeach
"Amid all the flash and three-chord frenzy of today's New Wave rockers and all the shaltz oozing out of the studios. The Belairs are playing deeply nourishing, earthy rhythm and blues."
