Nuclear Wastes Disposal . . .
(Continued from page 1)
Zeller, who has been to Antarctica three times, said a deep water port and an air strip would have to be developed. The working conditions are poor, he said, because night lights for about three months and the temperature is often around a 40° C level which makes mobility on the snow and ice would also slow down the operations. Zeller said.
The INTERRAD proposal has never been discussed with a foreign power, Zeller said. The Paris symposium would mark the international discussion on the proposal, be said.
The AEC has accepted the proposal and will forward it to the IAEA, according to
protocol, Zeller said.
"THE IAEA is very difficult to approach," Zeller said. "The fact that the AEC is willing to do this means we are getting extremely good cooperation."
Another problem that might develop would be a political nature. The Antarctic Treaty of 1005 states that there will be no nuclear war or nuclear waste despoiled in Antarctica.
However, one section of the treaty allows for the amendment of the stipulation on nuclear wastes should time and technology prove it necessary to the signatory nations.
Zeller said, "We could expect that they would support the job, but we enough people to worry about it."
"INTERRAT was planned not just to get nuclear waste out of Kauas, but to dispose

THE PROPOSAL takes into consideration the number of countries that will be turning to the use of nuclear power and the increase of larger amounts of nuclear wastes.
Now there are hundreds of tons of it.

"I RECEIVED some criticism from several people that I talked with because they felt I couldn't understand what their position might be." he said.
Joseph Hoagland, elected to the 22nd district house seat, found that being a student wasn't a disadvantage but that beine unmarried was.
Haagland said he covered 12 of the 14 precincts in his district in a massive door-to-door campaign effort, which took "a lot of time."
vertising in Kansas politics.
Being young and a student, according to Joseph Krahn, lawrence law student, were two causes for his defeat because his opponent for the 46th district house seat, John Bower, was an incumbent and a life-long resident of Lawrence.
Krahn plans to finish law school, concentrate on preparing for his bar exam and is thinking of seeking "some kind of job connected with the government," he said.
R. Michael Brown, Paola sophomore, was also defeated in his race for a senior state electorate.
"I'll probably run for re-election," Haogland said. "The whole race was very beneficial to me personally. I'm looking at it to make a contribution in Tooea."
The proposal states, "This problem is one of truly international character, and Antarctica is the only 'international' land protected by us, in a promise of a practical and safe solution."
Paul Hess, Wichita law student and
former member of the Kansas House of
Senators in the 30th senatorial
district seat in Wichita.
"Since I was in the House, I wasn't inexperienced, so I'm sure this helped." Hess said. "I think being young can be an asset, if it' s used well and not flawed. According to the secretary of state's office, I'm the youngest senator ever elected."
HESS SAID that he and his wife walked 200 miles house to house, campaigning for the election.
Hess also attributed his win to "eyeball to eyeball campaigning."
"You don't always win when you work hard, but in Kansas I think the chances are better for someone young who is willing to put out the effort," he said.
"That's the most effective method," he said.
Richard Walker, Newlaw student, was successful in his job for the 72nd district attorney.
"I arranged all my classes on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings and then I spent the rest of the week in Newton to keep it up but not unmanageable," Walker said.
BECAUSE A candidate for sherif in his district was also named Walker, Walker said he had a problem with name identification.
Areas of Greenland would also be suitable for the depository, Zeller said. But since it is the territory of Denmark, it is not as able to "international" Antarctica, he said.
The United States is storing its nuclear wastes above ground in storage tanks. Dreschloff said. The wastes are so hot they boil, she said.
"As of this year, less than 10 per cent of the atomic power is used for military purposes," Dreschhoff said. "Ninety per cent of it is for electrical power."
Most of the wastes are in the state of whaling because of the military attack shelter. Shallow
The radioactive waste would only become dangerous if water should come into contact with it. Any site chosen for a depositium must be as dry as the salt beds are or not have any "running" water. The ice burial may take care of this requirement, Zeller said.
"Ice, if its average temperature can be maintained well below the freezing point, has similar to salt, several advantageous features as a storage medium," the proposal states. "Its fractures are selfhealing through recrystallization or plastic molding, is compatible to water and has a conductivity comparable to common rock twes."
UNTIL NOW, the only solution seriously considered to the nuclear waste problem was the burial of wastes in salt beds similar to those described in proposed to be located in Lvors, Zeller said.
The solidified nuclear wastes will be placed in steel containers, Dreschhoff said. They would be hot enough to melt their won aluminum and would be able to would sink one or two kilometers.
'Tango'Built on False Assumptions But Acting Makes Play Work Well
By DAVID HEALY
Kansan Reviewer
"Tango" is a morality play about irresponsible radicals, greedy reactionaries
It is fortunate that "Tango," the Nov. 10 University of Kansas Theatre production by Slawmon Mrozek, should be performed so soon after the election. Many of us are sick of politics that it is hard to sit through even the best of theatrical productions.
and those ignorant and base people who demand order before rule of law or justice.
Its message is direct—if intelligent people cannot exercise self-restraint and do not form a positive social government, then the state may be monitored by redirection, law- and order people.
'Tango' Explores Conflicts In Morals, Savs Director
Clark C. Bricker, professor of chemistry, will speak on the premedical and pharmacy curriculums at the second session of the sophomore class majors forums tonight. The program begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Big-Broom of the Kansas Union.

Finishing touches were made Thursday night at the University Theatre in preparation for the Friday night opening of "Mango," the rehearsal was Zvone Sedbauer, guest director. Sedbauer is from the State Academy for Theatre in Ljubljanina, and he will play in many plays since 1967. Sedbauer discussed his views of the Polish play by Shlaimor Mrozek.
Bricker Speaks On Curriculum
Arthur's efforts to change his family fall, and the household is taken over at gunpoint by a character named Eddie. "Eddie's way to the world" is Diedbauer. "Force is the way of the world."
"Tango" confronts its audience with a conflict, said Sedibella, between the decadent, anarchic morals of a family and the search for a re-establishment of Viceroy Vittorio. As a conservative member of the family who has returned from medical school, he
Arthur is the one-man band, the supposed savior to his mother's moral anarchy. He uses an old tradition—a wedding—to bring family back to the romantic ways of the past.
"The play presents a world problem. It is a theater of the world." Woutershaan said.
Dreschhoff said.
The play's setting is Poland, although it tries not only to explain a Polish, or European view of moral decay and change in society but also to present the "Western mind, which is always changing, always moving to some ideal," said Sedbauer.
"Do you know what it meant to dance the Tango?" asked Seddaubler. "That is what Arthur is trying to re-establish. Just as many people today will be saying to their future children 'do you know what it meant to smoke grass'?"
The series of forums is being sponsored by the sophomore class to inform students about the opportunities.
atmosphere that provoked Mrozek to write it."
If there is one point that the author is trying to get across to his audience in this complex, macabre comedy, said Sidbauer, that "only fear of death can change the world."
"Tango," one of Europe's most popular avant-garde plays, according to Sedbauer, "ranks right up there with the very best of Beckett and Giredcaux." he said.
Arthur, who SediBaufer said is the symbol of the Western culture of Europe, is killed by Eddie, the symbol of suppression in Eastern Europe.
THE CONTAINERS will stop when they come to the bedrock below the ice.
I do not think that radicals, revolutionist and nonconformist, are necessarily degenerate slobs who aspire to live in the filth of their past. Likewise, I think it is false that counter-revolutionist reactionaries are always fascist.
For the last decade, however, we have heard a lot of talk about polarization—backlash, whitishal and blacklash—and whenever we assume that this is indeed a landslide election, thereby proving our assumption true.
Tango will be presented Nov. 10, 11, 16-18 at the University Theatre.
The "Tango" program includes a note from its director, Zvone Seldon Bailer, in which he says, "Millions of people all over the contemporary world are making their own mistakes by repeating the mistakes of their parents." "Tango" is dedicated as a warning to young people like to escape the essential problem of our world—the struggle to change it.
If there should be a layer of water between the ice and bedrock, the proposal states, it would be possible to design the bedrock so that it would stop before reaching the bedrock.
"Tango" is KU's entry in the American College Theatre Festival. Two years ago, KU's "Indians" made it to Washington, where the "Dancing Night." "Tango" is off to a better start.
The cast members have developed their characters well, especially Grandmother Eugenia. Everybody knows someone like Eugenia.
"Tango" has a few low spots, but they are far overshadowed by the high points. The roving card game can be the fummiest and the most exciting KUU story and the ending must be the clearest.
The life of the steel containers will be about 10 years, Zeller said. The containers must only last long enough to reach the resting point, he said.
Even upon disintegration of the containers, Zeller said, the nucleus wastes will be destroyed.
As an approximation of the effectiveness of the containers, the proposal states, it would take about 3 to 5 years for the containers to sink 1.5 kilometers.
Mud Creek...
Massey said losses to the Kaw Valley Fish farm after the area's last flood totaled 8,000 acres.

CITY OFFICIALS particularly have grown concerned over delays in completing the project, and have urged the Corps to move at an accelerated rate. Mayor John Emick presented Needham with a brief outlining the city's position at the hearing.

"The city of Lawrence has been working since 1952 for a local flood protection system," the statement says. "The Corps of Engineers have divided the project into four phases which include a small area on the south bank of the Kansas River. Phases I, II, and III were completed along the Kansas River, and Phase III is the Mud Creek section."

"The principal objection to the project (the 1969 Plan) is the loss of wildlife habitat due to the destruction of trees and brush along the Creek," the statement continues. We have had experts from the University of Michigan to document wildlife in Mud Creek that cannot be produced in many other areas immediately adjacent to the City of Lawrence.
"WE BELIEVE that our Mud Creek project is a vital part of our flood control program and the open space that will be provided along the Kansas River will more likely add any damage to the environment by the removal of trees," the statement says.
The statement concludes with a request that the Corps move quickly to complete the Lawrence Flood Protection Project, including the Mud Creek section.
