Elected AURH officers to take reins Thursday
Bob Dowdy, Coffeeville sophomore, and Alan Rowe, Emporia freshman, were elected president and vice president of the University Residence Hall committees.
Dowdy and Rowe received 392 of the 760 votes cast Wednesday and Thursday by students living in residence halls.
Pam Porter, Oliae junior, was elected new AUHR secretary, with 40 votes. Ron House, Kansas City, Mo. The team, ran uncontested for treasurer.
The 760 votes cast represented 17 percent of the students living in the eight residence halls, an average voter discount. Davis, current AUHR vice president,
DOWDY AND ROWE beat two other teams of candidates in the election. Catherine Adams, Merriam freshman, and Mark Pruse, Olathe freshman, received 218 votes, and Chris Schneider, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, and Jim Ramsbottom, Belleville sophomore, received 231.
Dowdy and Rowe will take over their offices after an inaugural ceremony Thursday in Danforth Chanel.
"I think it's really fantastic that we've been elected, and I'm really looking forward to working with the students." Rowe said last night.
Dowdy said that he would spend the next week meeting with current officers and executive board members to arrange the transition to the new adminstr
Brenda Darrow, AURH president, said she hoped the new officers could strengthen relations with the residents and maintain the rapport with the
administration that she developed during her term.
Darrow said she thought the election turnout reflected a general apathy toward the candidates.
RESIDENTS VOTED at their halls during the dinner hour Wednesday and Thursday.
Problems with the election arose the first night when some of the halls received their ballots nearly one half-hour after the election was scheduled to begin. Some didn't receive enough ballots.

Karin Lampe, election committee chairman, said, "It could have been better with more hall participation."
Lampe said the confusion resulted when hall officials were to oversee the election failed to report.
But the problems were corrected Thursday, Davis said, and the voter turnout was comparable to that of recent years.
Davis said he was happy to turn over his duties to Rowe, who he said was a competent parliamentarian who would do a good job running the General Assembly meetings, the main duty of the vice president.

Uranium found in western Kansas rocks
There may not be gold in them that hills, but there sure is uranium in the rocks.
By LISA GUTIERREZ Staff Renorter
And although the amount is not profitable enough for mining, two KU survey scientists have found as much as .02 percent of uranium in small rocks in western Clark and eastern Meade counties in southwestern Kansas.
The Kansas Geological Survey recently released a study on western Kansas rocks and water conducted by or scientist with the geological survey.
Staff Reporter
"These rocks contained 10 times the amount you'd expect out there," Pieter Berendsen, a geologist/goechemist with Aarhus Geological Survey, yesterday.
"We were just kind of playing around and trying to explain the rocks in Kansas." Berendens said.
Yet, even the .02 percent of uranium found in rocks in Meade and Clark counties is not enough to make mining profitable.
THE ANALYSIS WAS part of a four-year study of the area's uranium.
Most of the other rocks from western Kansas contained only a trace of uranium.
"Exploration has drastically slowed down, due to the cancellation of orders for nuclear power plants and the fact that there are huge deposits of uranium
"It takes rocks with at least 2 percent uranium to make mining profitable," said Berendsen. "Unless the economic situation changes, there going to be any mining activity in Kansas in the foreseeable future."
THE PRICE OF a pound of uranium,
Berendsen said, has dropped from $42
to £20 during the past year.
are now California, Wyoming and New Mexico erupted and threw ash into the air, much of the ash settled over Kansas and concentrated in thick deposits by streams and lakes in the western part of the state.
Although uranium often brings to mind radioactivity, Berendsen said that the amount found in the western United States is sufficient to present a health hazard to area residents.
"Most mining companies aren't going to look at Kansas as a primary source of uranium."
in Australia that can provide cheap uranium," he said.
"You really have to concentrate this kind in processing plants to get the level that would be harmful," he said.

"That's not a long time ago," he said,
"but the timing is kind of hard to pin down.
THE ANCIENT volcanic ash deposits were particularly numerous along the Cimarron River in southwestern Wyoming and in rocky Hill River in west-central Kansas
BERENDSEN attributed what uranium there was in the rocks to volcanic ash deposited almost 2 million years ago.
"The source for uranium is usually not present out there unless there are solutions moving through containing uranium."
Beresdens, who has been with the geological survey since 1974, likened the deposition of the volcanic ash to putting sugar into a cup of coffee.
But when ancient volcanoes in what
"The location in Meade County is probably an old river channel where this volcanic ash was washed in and concentrated," he said.
"Some of the uranium from the volcanic ash was picked up by rivers and deposited in the sea," it just like sugar in vinegar in vaporize and concentrates."
