More than 100 University of Kansas students crowded around student members of the Kansas Natural Guard Friday afternoon as they presented an anti-nuclear energy skiff in front of Wescoe Hall.
The skit depicted a railroad blockade that the Kansas Natural Guard has planned to greet the arrival of the nuclear reactor vessel to the Wolf Creek power plant site near Burlington with.
The Kansas Natural Guard is a splinter group of the Sunflower Alliance, an area alliance of anti-nuclear energy groups. The Sunflower Alliance vethed a proposal to take part in the blockade.
After the skit, the student group officially announced its intention to participate in the Wolf Creek blockade.

Beems said members of the Kansas Natural Guard might become passively resistant if authorities tell them to move from the tracks. This, he said, means going limp and forcing authorities to carry them away.
BEEMS SAID preventing the arrival of the reactor vessel was crucial because the vessel was the final and most important part of the plant. He said members of the Natural Guard were willing to use their bodies to block it.
Muffard said that many members of the Kamaas Natural Guard were dedicated and that they might stay on the island.
A few weeks ago, members of the KU group said their students were being trained to make people aware of the anti-nuclear point of view. Our student said the Kansas Natural Guard members would be cleared from the tracks before the train was even in use.

Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said Saturday that the KU computation center would help keep the United States in front in the computer technology race.
ALTOUGH ASK was advised by its board of directors to limit its lobbying efforts, but the group did extend the number to six. The delegates said they did not think an additional item would be used.
"Perhaps the one field that our nation is No. 1 in computer technology," Dykes says.
Speaking at the dedication services for the $4 million center, Dykes told the 150 people present that the center would help keep the United States ahead of Germany and Japan.

When campaigning for student body president, Brownback had promised K-State students a new field house. He said he intended to use the money allocated to K-State from the tax to construct the field house.
STEVE YOUNG, board of directors member from KU, said. "We need to budget more money for students' bill passing the Legislature are minimal. I can't see an earned mark tax going to athletes when academics is so much more expensive than objections to students paying for buildings."
"I'm not an advocate of big-time athletics, but by not putting up funding for athletics, we aren't making our school more attractive in our conference," Brown said.

Ron Allen, ASK campus director at KU, said he thought KU's influence was responsible for the assembly's rejection of the cigarette tax.
"It would be astime for ASK to support a bill that died in committee last year," she said. "It won't go over because people don't want their taxes raised."
MEMBERS SAID they would study state aid for student union utility costs as well as scholarships based on academic achievement.
A proposed three-cent excise tax on cigarettes, to be used to fund intercollegiate athletes at Regents schools, was not approved by the school's lengthy debate, the issue was rejected. 38-30.
Allen said he was pleased with KU's performance at the conference.

"I was really proud," he said.

Expert says satellites needed to scan crops

The speaker, Jimmy Murphy, head of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's satellite resource surveillance division at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, said he had been advocating a food crisis warning system since he began working for theuSDAS's satellite division in 1971. Murphy, who spoke to 100 people in Nichols County on Friday, said the growing world population had convinced him of the need for the warning system.
