said he and Chancellor Archi R. Dykes were monitoring the situation closely.
Even though the fuel oil supply situation was stable, Orok said he was not optimistic that the Kansas Public Service Gas Company would resume service to KU soon.
William Salome, vice president of the gas company, also said he did not know when the leak would occur.
"IF THE WEATHER moderates and temperature rises to the upper 30s, service should be resumed," Salome said. "Right now there's nothing we can do about this system was lowered, and under federal regulations service cannot be resumed."
Salome said the University's rating had been changed after hearings between the two sides, and she refused to comment.
concerning the volumes of gas consumed by customers. KU's rating was lowered because it had fuel oil as an alternate source and also because it used a large volume of gas
"Regulations were made to insure that residential and small commercial users have access to a natural gas lines coming into Lawrence are the same size as 20 years ago, yet the volume of demand is much higher. Because these lines are bigger users like KU, must be cut off sooner."
OROKE SAID that because there was little chance of the current energy being used, it would be better to
Salome said the natural gas supply to KU could not be increased in the future and its rating level would remain approximately the same.

"It's going nowhere because we found no sponsors. Bennett mettit it last year and I thought it was the best."
Zacharias said ASK had no position on a proposal now in House committee concerning the removal of the 3.5 percent sales tax on food items.
"THE SALES tax is the most regressive of all taxes and it especially hurds older people and students. I would not favor a plan to remove it from the budget," he said, "that scores me."
Another proposal is designed to eliminate the tax over a period of three years. There is, however, at least one representative who opposes that plan.
State Rep. Edward C. Rolfs, R-Junction
City and former KU student body president, he thought the bill would pass
"I would probably support the repeal of the sales tax on food within a year. The state has a $125 million surplus now and the state shouldn't be a savings account." Roffs
Because of the surplus, Rofs said, the $46 million lost in revenues as a result of the sales tax removal on food items would not affect higher education.
However, Mike Harper, KU student body president, said the sudden decrease in revenue could result in cuts in funding for higher education.
"I support the idea of a tax cut, but even with that surplus," Harper said, "we need more money."

Facilities Operations has requested additional oil storage facilities. That request is now on the list of capital improvements in the District to be sent to the Board of Regents in a few weeks.
However, Orok said, "The expense of repairing the tanks and the uncertainty of the repair would make the building of a new storage structure more economical."
One option would be to repair two storage tanks that have not been used this year because of leaks. The tanks have the capacity to hold 300,000 gallons of fuel and 100,000 gallon of tank in an underground system south of the Facilities Operations building.

"We paid 27 cents a gallon for oil earlier this year and we're paying 33 cents a gallon now," he said. "It's the difference between buying oil in the off season and then being able to store fuel, compared to buying fuel now in the season when demand is high."
The University has no contract for a constant supply of fuel oil. KU must send purchase orders to Topeka and the state companies 10 days to bid on the contracts.
OROKE SAID the extra storage space would ease concern over the need to resupply equipment.
"There're not too many days to play with in this situation." Oroke said. "If Lawrence gets bitter cold weather there will be less than a 15 day supply on hand because more is consumed in the heating process. It's a guessing game and we're at the point of screening at the supplier to get the deliveries here."
