Students get first taste of snowfall
By AMY CRAIG Staff Reporter
For the first time this year, KU students faced getting to classes in the snow yesterday.
But despite the slick roads and sidewalks, area police, fire and hospital officials reported that only a few minor accidents were caused by
Snowfall in Lawrence began at 6 a.m. yesterday and total accumulation was $\frac{1}{2}$ to 1 inch, a spokesman for Weather Service said yesterday.
ED LANG, coordinator of the weather service, said only occasional snow furries and no accumulation were in the forecast for today.
A storm is developing in western Kansas, he said, but tomorrow night is the earliest that it could reachence, perhaps bringing snow with.
Herington, which recorded 6 inches, was hit the hardest in the state by yesterday's snow, Lang said. Topeka got $\frac{1}{2}$ to 1 inch and the Kansas City area got less than $\frac{1}{2}$ inch. Most central Kansas towns reported snowfall of 2 to 3 inches, he said.
Lang said the next few days would be slightly windy with winds predicted at 8 to 12 mph and temperatures in the high 30s today and Friday.
WORKERS FROM KU facilities operations used salt and sand for the first time this winter to clear the snow from the streets and sidewalks.
Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations, said about 30 grounds workers were on campus at 7:30 a.m. yesterday to begin sweeping sidewalks and sanding ice spots.
Other than that, he said, they just watched the snow come down.
The grounds workers would come to work earlier and would use snow plows if a snow storm were to hit Lawrence, he said, but because of reductions and the cost of snow removal, he is hoping for a mild winter.
Emergency room officials were surprised that no accidents were reported because some usually happen when it snows, the official said.
Sgt. Larry Loveland of the Lawrence Police Department said only minor accidents — a few people sliding into ditches — were reported
A LAWRENCE Memorial Hospital spokesman said no weather-related injuries were reported at the emergency room.
James McSwin, Lawrence fire chief, said the fire department did not receive any calls for weather-related fires.
Exterior touches on Moore addition just weeks away
The Moore Hall addition on west campus has most of its exterior walls completed, and roofing should begin by the end of the month if the weather warms up, Jim Modig, the assistant director of facilities planning, said this week.
Douglas Construction Co., Topeka, the general contractor for the $1 million three-story addition, began building last fall. Modig said.
Construction of the remaining walls should begin in mid-February. Carpeting, ceilings, floor tiles doors and other finishing touches will be started as soon as the roofing is completed, be by the end of April, Media said.
HE ALSO said there would be some renovation where the new addition adjoined the rest of Moore.
The equipment in Moore Hall is used by drillers for topography maps, drilling logs, production records of the wells and a reference library.
Diane Coleman, assistant director of the Kansas Geological Survey, said the addition would be used mainly for research and public service areas.
She said money for the addition came from a $46 fee charged each time a hole was drilled for oil and natural gas. The collection dated since 1980, and should end in July.
ED STRODA, manager of Meadow-lr Drilling Inc., Olafte, said that he paid the $40 fee on each of the approximately 175 holes the company drilled each year, and that each hole cost about $5,000 to drill.
KU center's delay disappoints faculty
By SALLY JOY OMUNDSON Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
Some KU faculty members said yesterday that they were disappointed by the postponement of a new broadcast communications building.
"The building was to be, among other things, a catalyst to really produce an outstanding program. Now we will just have to work harder to make things happen," she says of the radio-tv-film department of the School of Journalism, said in a memo.
CONSTRUCTION OF the building was scheduled to begin this spring. If built, it would house radio stations KANU and KJHK, television studios and the entire radio-tv-film department.
Chancellor Gene A. Budg said in a statement released Tuesday that the University of Kansas needed to study further because of budget restraints.
Money for the new building was to be provided by a $3.5 million grant from Ralph L. Weir, a KU alumnus. Budig's statement said Weir would undertake an in-depth study of how to best move ahead with the project.
The grant would have fully covered the construction costs, said Del Brinkman, dean of the School of Journalism. But Linton said there were many hidden costs apart from the construction costs that would require more money from the University.
THOSE COSTS included the installation of an elaborate telephone system, which could cost between $50,000 and $60,000. Linton said. The University also would need to hire an engineer to buy new equipment in the building, he said.
Brinkman said that as far as he knew, the University would not be able to hire new staff needed if the program were expanded, nor would the University be able to afford the necessary telephone equipment.
If the Weirs should completely withdraw their grant, the building would still be built when adequate financing became available. he said.
BINKMAN SAID, "It's my understanding that the Weirs continue to be interested in the project. I think all the students who work with us will be excited and we'll just stay on that course."
Some comments have circulated saying that the Weirs wanted some control over how the program would be run.
Brinkman said, however, that any such comments had been taken out of the file.
He said Weir had been an adviser to the School of Journalism and had been aware of the program's plans and progress for many years.
LINTON SAID that Weir might have some ideas on how programs should be organized. But, Linton said, Weir has only said he wants the radio-tv-film department to be a strong and growing program.
Departments seek applications from KU work-study students
While many University students canvass the city looking for jobs, Pam Houston sits in her office wondering where all the job-seeking students are.
By SUSAN STANLEY Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
Houston, student employment director in the KU office of financial aid, is caught in the middle of the student job search.
Houston receives calls daily from campus departments with job openings and no applicants, she said yesterday.
THE KEY TO the problem, she said,
is approximately 90 students who have
been awarded work-study status and
are not using it. If these students gave
up work-study to others, they fill some
of the campus positions, she said.
About 500 KU students have qualified for the work-study program.
These students are preferred for campus jobs because a KU department only pays a small percentage of the student's salary. The remainder is paid from a work-study allocation from the federal government, she said.
Salaries of hourly employees are paid entirely by the departments, she said.
Houston said she could not give any
more work-study awards because she had already distributed them all.
FEDERAL BUDGET reductions have lowered the work-study allocation for the University from $662,269 in 1981-82 to $497,741 in 1993-83, a decrease of $68,488. More reductions are expected for next year, she said, but the offer of financial aid might not know the exact amount allocated until summer.
"I just can't understand why these students aren't making use of their work-study eligibility," she said. "I can only imagine that some of them are unable to work because of class schedules or lack of skills, but departments are calling to say no one is even applying."
Houston said that she was willing to help any work-student student who was not a high school graduate.
There are many campus jobs available, Houston said, and they are easier to get when a student is qualified for the work-study program.
To apply for work-study, a student must file an American College Testing form along with a Kansas Student Data Sheet.
HOUSTON SAID that students should submit their ACT applications by
The most alarming sign that she sees in student seekers is lack of self

many students just disqusum themselves from the jobs," she said. "If they don't have the preferred skills they will eliminate themselves right off the bat. But if they are in better to let the employer reject you than to select yourself by not trying."
LOIIS CLARK, University Theatre box office manager, said she was prepared to hire an hourly applicant, although the job was advertised as both an hourly and work-study position. She has applied for applications from work-study students.
No students with work-study eligibility have applied for the position of nurse assistant at Watkins Memorial Hospital, Oroh, assistant director of the hospital.
Watkins Hospital does have work-study students that were hired last year.
AN EXCEPTION to the problem is the history department, said Janet Crow, clerk IV. The department is having no problems finding qualified work-study students to fill its positions.
Miner killed four injured in collapse
By United Press International
WHITWELL, Tenn. — One coal miner was killed and four others were injured yesterday in a mine collapse at the Grundy Mining Co., where 13 miners died in a 1981 shaft explosion, police said.
"WE'VE GOT one dead," said Police Chief Ixre Condra. "We're waiting on notifying the relatives. I know there were four injured."
Conda said the cave-in occurred in Mine No. 30 at the Grundy Mining Co. on Whitwell Mountain.
The chief declined to answer further questions. The mine company, he said, "asked us to put a lid on it."
MINE SAFETY and Health Administration Inspector Max Condra, a relative of the police chief, said he was not allowed to comment on the cave-in. In December 1981, 13 miners were killed in a shaft explosion at another of Grundy's mines on Whitwell Mountain.
