City. KU officials discuss research park
By JOHN HOOGESTEGER Staff Reporter
A research park would benefit both the University of Kansas and the city of Lawrence because it would bring money and jobs into the city, several KU and city officials said yesterday.
"We're all in this together," said Frances Horwitz, dean of the graduate school. "Most of the money from回去 back into the Lawrence economy."
Horowitz and other KU officials, including Chancellor Gene A. Budig, and four of the five city commissioners discussed several projects that would affect both the city and University at the annual University of Kansas City Commission luncheon at the Kansas Union.
BUDIG SAID THAT The University was interested in high-tech development in Lawrence, and that KU
would aid in research projects brought to Lawrence by private companies.
Mayor Marci Francisco said the commission was trying to work with existing industries to help them do research and development projects in
Howitz, who is also vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service, stressed the school's ability to complement research and development projects, and said the University was well equipped in a national park and research park development because they would provide student jobs.
"Increasing numbers of students are finding they can't stay in school without a job." Horowitz said. "I realize Lawrence prides itself on its relatively low unemployment, but right now it's really dry for students looking for jobs.
"In chemistry and related fields, a research park would give specific
employment opportunities for graduate students."
City Commissioner Barkley Clark agreed with supported Horowitz.
"We NEED TO market a whole package where we show businesses everything the city has to offer, including what KU can do," he said.
Horowitz also said the need for private research projects was becoming more critical because research grants to the University were on the
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said that the 4 percent budget cut earlier in the year affected student jobs the most, and that in the future more students would have to work on their financial aid and would be burden to find.
In other discussion, Francisco asked University officials to help the city with a traffic safety study for Kentucky and Tennessee streets. She said many people drove too fast on those streets,
and the city wanted the University's advice on how to get the best traffic flow.
Allen Wiechert, director of facilities planning, said the University was considering an east entrance to campus.
FRANCISCO TOLD KU officials they could help the city get money to build a new airport terminal by telling state universities that university was a strong airport customer.
City Manager Buford Watson briefed the University on city plans for downtown development. The University owns the old First National Bank building at Eighth and Massachusetts streets, where redevelopment is
Watson also told University officials of city problems with water legislation, of the city building a new water main near the KU campus on 15th Street, and of the effectiveness of new false alarm controls.
Lobbvists oppose state's bid to acquire pipelines
By JEFF TAYLOR Staff Reporter
TOPEKA — Lobbists and state legislators squared off yesterday in the sometimes heated House committee debate over a bill that would allow the state to take over natural gas holdings in the Hugoton Field of southwestern Colorado.
Lobbysts representing the natural gas industries complained that a move by the state to acquire the natural gas industry would in a small form violate the U.S. Constitution.
Under the bill, natural gas pipelines owned by private companies in the state would be made common carriers. Such action would force private pipeline companies to move gas from the Hueoton field.
REPRESENTATIVES SPONSORING the measure denied complaints against the bill's constitutionality and told the House Energy and Natural Resource Committee that the gas industry must change its methods of pricing natural gas.
State Rep. Kerry Patrick, R-
Leawood, testified that the bill would generate competition among private gas companies and would free cheap natural gas from the Hugonot Field that could be transported to the entire state.
Patrick said companies with leases on Hugoton Field gas had slowed extraction of natural gas in the field, and instead were bringing more expensive gas into the state from Wyoming.
He said Wyoming natural gas had been channeled into Kansas at a cost of $6.80 for each Mcf, or thousand cubic feet, while Kansas natural gas, at 85 cents for each Mcf, had been kept underground.
"When the opponents come and speak against this bill, ask them how they can defend the present gas pricing policy in this country," he said.
One opponent, Don Schnacke of Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Industries, said the bill was "a socialist approach to a complex problem."
SCHNACKE WARNED that the legislative move to seize Hugoton Field could be expensive for Kansans.
He said the state should pay for a
feasibility study to determine how much a takeover would cost.
State Rep, Keith Farrar, R-Hugoten, testified that because only a few industries in the state owned natural gas pipelines, other industry members did not have a choice about whether that gas was moved or who moved it.
"Since natural gas industries feel they don't have to take the gas from Hugoton Field, it's like money in the bank." he said.
Farrar said natural gas companies had leased the Hugot gas fields cheaply, had made money by selling the inexpensive natural gas and had invested those profits again in other projects.
CO-SPONSORS OF THE bill touched on the problems that people with small incomes faced, and said the Legislature had to take extreme action to bring soaring natural gas rates under control.
Farrar said the amount of natural gas extracted from Hugoton Field in the last five years had dropped considerably and that had hurt royalty owners.
State Rep. Harold Guldner, R-Syracuse, said the bill was radical, but something had to be done to get cheap Kansas gas to customers who were having a hard time keeping the heat turned on.
In opposition to the bill, John Will, a lawyer representing Northern Natural Gas Co., said the bill was unconstitutional.
HE SAID IT would be unconstitutional for the state to seize the Hugoton Field, because the land was privately leased.
Will said that forcing all pipeline companies to become common carriers

Snow may be restored for more class space
The 55-year old Snow Hall might be renovated for use by the mathematics and computer science departments., William Hogan, associate executive vice chancellor, said yesterday.
By DAVID POWLS Staff Reporter
Hogan said the Snow renovation was not definite.
But Jim Sherman, co-chairman of the HDFL department, said the officials had decided Snow was not a place to move that departement.
Brower Burchell, chairman of Haworth addition committee, said most of the biological science facilities in Snow would be moved into the $14 million Haworth Hall addition when it is completed in
But Burhill said that because Haworth would not be big enough for all biological facilities, some of the facilities would remain in Snow.
HOGAN SAID UNIVERSITY officials earlier had considered moving the human development and family life department into a renovated
He said the renovation committee was trying to find ways to fit an auditorium into Snow or add one to the building.
he said the mathematics department needed additional classroom space now and would need more office space if it ever regained faculty members who had not been hired because of reductions.
"SOME SPACE IS not as good as it should be," he said, "and 40 percent of our offices need to be remodeled."
Victor Wallace, chairman of the computer science department, said his department also needed large classrooms.
Charles Himmelberg, chairman of the mathematics department, said he was unsure whether a renovation of Snow could provide high space for classrooms.

Himmelberg said the location of pillars and walls in Snow would have to be changed to make enough room for mathematics classrooms.
"Snow was designed for the biological sciences," he said. "The building is not very deep. I am going to look at architecture's plans."
He said special air conditioning for some computers would be necessary.
