University Dail Kansan, December 2, 1981 Page 5 Missile From page one which accounts for more than half of McConnell's total personnel. Chamber president Richard Upton said the chamber of commerce had sent a letter to the Kansas congressional delegation in support of installing MX missiles near Wichita. BETWEEN $175 and $180 million in direct cash $272 and $317 million annually, be said, generating $900 million annually. "We'd hate to see the people leave," Upton said, "but if it's an obsolete system it should be taken away." Part of the reason the Titan II $ ^{2} $ is obsolete is that they are powered by poisonous liquid fuel rather than the solid fuel that the Minuteman and MX missiles use. Liquid fuel leaks were responsible for last year's explosion at a Titan base near Little Rock, Ark, which blew off the silo's 750-meter door and caused extensive damage out of the silo and onto the ground nearby. Another leak was blamed for the deaths of two airmen at a Titan base near Rock, Kan., in 1978. However, as the dangers of 1950s missile technology are replaced with the somewhat safer technology of the 1800s, Kansas may be getting an entirely new set of headaches. The technology of the 1800s probably will be accompanied by the strategies of the 1800s. Last year, President Carter outlined America's new military strategy in a little-debated statement called Directive 9. The statement would be possible to fight and win a limited nuclear war. Secretary of State Alexander Haig has reiterated Carter's position recently. The objective of a limited nuclear war, they have said, would be to destroy enemy missiles and other military installations without necessarily blowing up large population centers. BEFORE THE END of the 1980s, defense planners say, missiles that the Soviets are already deploying, as well as the MX missiles, will be accurate enough to destroy missile silos 6,000 miles away. The two countries will be capable of disarming one another with a surprise Glickman has said the new strategies worry him because his district in south-central Kansas would be a prime target for a surprise Soviet attack. "Because I judge that the political furor would be less (to base MX missiles in Titan silos)," Gleckman said during a speech on the House floor Nov. 18, "I think that the issues of vulnerability and survivability went down the tube, and that worries me." The decision was made for political reasons, Glickman said, because Sens. Paul Lauxalt, R-Nev, Jake Garn, R-Uth, and Orrin Hatch, R-nev, had a lot of pull with President Reagan. "These men, some of the strongest supporters of the President of the United States, would like (the MX) not in their backyards and would put them perhaps in my backyard, the State of Kansas," Glickman told the House. "While I do not have the close relations between him and I decided that my constituents were entitled to the same scrutiny and protection." A Pentagon spokesman said yesterday that no decision has been made about the MX attack. from Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger within six weeks. "Everything is so much up in the air right now, but we just don't know," said LL. Rick Kelphman of Dundee University. IN AN EFFORT to find out more about where the team is based, Glickman sent a letter to Wingerton on October 23. The congressman called a response from Weinberger and the Pentagon "inadequate" in early November because it gave no details on how the MX denulment would be carried oit. "The report is not a complete one," Glickman said. "It fundamentally doesn't address the issues of the strategic significance of putting MX's in Titan silos. There is little to be gained by hardening the silos. The decision doesn't gain survivability. I think it's 85 percent political." An effective way to protect a siso-based MX system, he has said, through a system of anti-attacks. However, Weinberger said in the response that an ABM treaty with the Soviet Union allowed the United States to install an ABM system only after the U.S. maritime missile complex at Grand Forks, N.D. Rep. Bob Whitaker, R-Kan., said he also doubts about sib-based MX missiles. "The purpose of the MX is to survive a first strike," Whittaker said. "As far as basing it in hardened Titan silos, it just hasn't been well thought out." THE MX would be based in the old silos for about two years, said Whitaker, who has 13 of the 18 south-central Kansas Titan silos in his facility. The equipment will be transferred to a permanent bassing system. "It might be more better spent to place the M.A in a permanent bason mode to begin with," he said. The MX missiles also could be based in existing Minematen slos in Missouri, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana, Wittaker said. "My gut reaction is that they'll be located in Wyoming if they get put anywhere at all, because they'll be protected by ABMs," he said. "They have enough Minutetan I and Minutetan II allo to deploy the number of MX missiles they're talking about." The Air Force has phased out the Minuteman I's, but 450 Minuteman II's and 500 Minuteman III's are still operational. The Minuteman missiles are somewhat smaller than the Titan II's, but carry up to 12 nuclear warheads compared to one large warhead on the Titan II's. Both Kansas Republican Sens. Robert Dole and Nancy Kassebaum are expected to support the MX in a Senate vote today or tomorrow on Reagan's military spending bill. The bill includes $2 billion to begin work on both the new missile system and the B-1 bomber. Defense From page one The total amount of funds for the Stealth included in the Senate's $260,818 billion defense appropriations bill is classified and the fact that the issue was raised sparked a heated argument. "There is an enormous amount of money for the Stealth in this appropriations bill and we don't need a dime more," Sen. Warren Rudman, R-N-H., said.

Did not work when the sprinkler syst would be activated. ANWHILE, an orderly procedure for dealing with alarms has been developed. Under Simr's orn instructions, each department in the alarm center must maintain responsibilities when an alarm goes off. "W hen it goes off, the circulation desk first checks the zone on the panel at the main entrance. It could just be a trouble light," she said. "I will not reset, then we assume there is a fire." In ___ the next step, someone calls the police, and ___ed a storm stage evacuates the area assistance to their defense. T en, we go to the area to see if we can put the out with a fire extinguisher.

The procedure can also be used in case of torna dos or a bomb threat. Then, Simmons said, only the evacuation area would be changed to the lower library levels.
