Center's fuel called ample
By DAN WINTER
Staff Renorter
The University of Kansas Medical Center will not be left out in the cold even though it no longer is protected from snow.
The Med Center is one of 185 Kansas and Missouri institutions that will lose protection from natural gas cutoffs.
The Med Center has been cut off from natural gas in past winters by Cities Service Gas Co., the main natural gas supplier for the Kansas and Missouri areas, but have had no success in providing natural gas to Hughes, associate director for operational management.
IN THE past, there has been a sharp distinction between commercial and industrial users of natural gas. The FERC lumps hospitals, schools, nursing homes, public buildings and aspartments with other roffro-making businesses.
Hospitals, nursing homes and similar institutions also have had an informal designation of "human needs" institu- tions.
"The human needs" facilities were dropped from a high priority rating of three to a rating of five. The priority rating means that these facilities will not be given special privileges when Cities Service and the FERC begin doing
Hughes said that the Med Center operated about 25 days last winter without natural gas and that the switch-over system was working well.
"When we switch to fuel oil from natural gas, no one in the hospital can tell except the people in our office."
HUGES SAID there were 57,000 gallons of oil fuel stored in tanks on the Med Center's campus that could be used at any time. An additional 200,000 gallons of oil is stored at an old Air Force base in Oalathe.
"We can use as much as 12,000 gallons a day on a cold winter day when all the machinery is in full operation," Hughes said. "We never let our stores get depleted. Lant always were getting two shipments of oil a day at the Med Center."
Cities Service will give the Med Center notice, Hughes said, if the company thinks there is a possibility the gas will have to be cut. If it decides the gas will be cut, the company will stop fueling so that a smooth switch-over to fuel oil can be made.
Although the cost of fuel oil is more than natural gas—it takes $3 of fuel oil to provide the same heat that $2 of natural gas provides—Hughes said the Med Center had a range of back services or raise rates because of a fuel switch-over.
HUGHES SAID he got one letter from Cities Service last month about the possible priority rating change but he
"We really are very well prepared and it won't be any problem because of the priority change." Hughes said.
Groups ask $35,000 from Senate
The Lawrence campus will not be affected by the FERC ruling because its priority rating was already low and it has no plans to upgrade.
More than $35,000 in supplemental budget requests have been made to the Student Senate by 30 University organizations, including Templeton, Senate administrative assistant.
Supplemental allocations will be made from $23,296.98 in previously unallocated funds and, if necessary, $6,633 in controlled reserve funds, Templeton said.
He said that although nearly $30,000 was available for supplemental funding, he estimated the total cost would be $160,000.
"We'll undoubtedly cut corners," he said. "hope we can under $30,000 so we don't have to leave lives lost."
Last year, 31 campus groups requested about $41,000 in supplemental funding.
TEMPILETON SAID that if it was necessary to use reserve funds, he did not think the Senate would have any problems obtaining them.
"Reserve funds would have to be released by the Student Senate executive committee,
Press has long angered presidents, Bradlee savs

But Bradlea still enjoys blasting them from time to time.
Bradlee, whose paper broke the Watergate story in 1972, was at the University of Kansas yesterday, where he visited journalism classes and spoke to about 500 people at the Kansas Union Ballroom last night.
He discussed presidents, Watergate, the Post's decisions to print controversial news, Sen. Edward Kennedy and press freedoms, the umbrella topic "Power and the Press."
"The power of the press to embarrass the administration is one of the lesser threats to our nation's security; it may even be commendable," he said.
United States presidents have resented the press for a long time, Benjamin C. Bradele, executive editor of the Washington Post, said last night.
THROUGHOUT HIS VISIT, Bradie offered insight into issues that have been in the nation's newspapers, especially the news affecting news stories in Washington.
"The vice president of a corporation once said to me, 'Sonny, if you want to amount to a hill of beans in your business stick close to the crowd.' I course, I did," he said to the laughing crowd.
Bradlee did not hesitate to draw on his experience to throw barbats at Nixon and Nixon.
Bradlee said the role of the press was to watch government figures and accurately report their activities with the hope of them more careful about what they say and do.
Bradée said information about the bombing of Cambodia was withheld from the American public during the Nixon administration under the claim of national security.
He said that during the Watergate proceedings the editors were so nervous about the accusations made by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein that the editors questioned the two nightly about the accuracy of their claims.
"THE NATIONAL security claim of Nikon was misused. It was like Catch-22, the only one who didn't know was the public," he said.
Supplemental budget requests from organizations not previously funded by the Senate are: Arabian Peninsula Student Club, $680; Archoan Club of Zeta Phi Beta University, $510; $140; Association of International Students of Political Science, $1,090; Black Student Union, $375; KU Advertising Club, $899; KU Ecology Club, $1,159; KU Students for a Radio-Active-Free Kansas, $70; Non-Temparian Club, $25; Society of Physics Students, $190; Students Concerned with Disabilities, $513; Women in Communications Inc., $200.
The Post currently is investigating the General Services Administration fraud case in much the same manner as Watergate, Bradlee said. GSA reportedly is losing about $66 million annually because of fraud and inexperience by some of its administrators.
Bradie said the greatest problem facing the press today was the same it had always been—finding the truth when people "hide from coming out" because they lie" to keep the story from coming out.

EARLIER IN THE DAY, while attending a journalism class, Fradiee stated the Post's focus on "telling stories."
"I'm kind of on a mission to explain newspapers and newspapering to the

my son is in school at Yale," he said.
"You get to see him."
"We have a rule and it works pretty well," he said. "If a person gets drunk in private it's his own business, but if he gets drunk on the floor of the House or Senate then it
He said that Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford and Carter all had

Bradlee also commented on the possibility of Keeney, D-Mass., running for president
called him or publicly objected to coverage of certain issues by the Post.
"I hope he doesn't run, I don't know if I could take it he shot another Kennedy."
Bradlee said he toured college campuses about twice a year to get a break from Washington and to raise money for his son's education.
Students eligible for work-study advised to claim funds this week
"Last summer Carter got on national TV, slammed down a copy of the Washington Post and told the nation that the lead story of the paper was inaccurate and untrue," he said. At about 8 in the morning, before 10am of coffee, that was like a slap in the face."
The story concerned strategic arms
infiltration between the United States
and Israel.
"I firmly believe in competition," he said when asked about the Washington Star, Washington's evening newspaper. "I'm not so worried about that from Time Inc. I can stop pitting them."
"I've been doing it for 14 years, so I used to the pressure," he said, "I can't take long vacations any more, though, because I must go to wonder what's going on back there."
SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET requests from organizations previously funded by the Senate are: Alpha Phi Omega, $1,100; Asian Studies Students, $444; Chancery Club, $115; Commission on the Status of Women, $800; Computer Affairs Association, $2,087.4; Consumer Affairs Association, $2,087.4; Engineering School Council, $900; Friends of Headquarters, $1,100; Hilltop Child Development Center, $754; KU Fok Dance Club, $400; Organization of Black and Minority Architecture Students, $817; Health Sciences Centers, $225; Student Bar Association, $485; Tau Sigma Dance Ensemble, $2,997; University Association for
BRADLEE SAID that conflicts with Carter were no greater than those with past presidents and that he expected some tension.
"We try like hell to be better than other newspapers, but I don't think there's a town in the world that has two such high quality newspapers."
Students who fail to accept before Friday work-study funds for this year will lose their awards, Claantha McCaryd, assistant director of financial aid, said yesterday.
"It was a romance. They condensed two and a half years into two hours," he said. "It wasn't always like that; every time they did something, the answer and that just doesn't happen."
He said the portrait of the Washington post in the memoir. All the President's Men' s annual address.
Nevertheless, during his visit he answered questions about national concerns
"There are a number of students who were awarded funds but have refused to contact this office," McCurdy said. "The student is to pick up a book the student referral site."
but if they're needed, I don't see why they couldn't release them," he said.
Templeton said that all supplemental budget requests would be heard by members of the Finance and Auditing Committee, Richard Winter, Senate treasurer, and two members of each Senate committee.
Because some of the awards have not been claimed, MCurd said, there are funds available for students eligible to work under the program, but who have not received an award.
All work-study jobs are on campus.
The referral slip certifies that a student is eligible to work under the program. The slip must be completed by the student and the campus department he chooses to work for.
Budget hearings will be from 6:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Final approval recommendations will be made Thursday night, Templeton said.
McCurdy also said there were some departments that had job openings under the same plan.
Departments should contact the office of financial aid if they can place students now being paid regular wages under the work-study program, she said.
The largest budget request is by the University Daily Kansan, which is required.
Palmist says health in your hands
"Business, Marriage. Success."
These are the signal words, accompanied by painted moon and stars, hanging outside the establishments of palms, according to Lawrence palmist Charles Hamilton.
Hamilton, who came to Lawrence three years ago to study music therapy at the University of Kansas, reads palms for $2. He also writes and performs dolls from his house at 948 Louisiana St.
He became interested in palimistry four years ago when he had his hand read in Berkeley, Calif. Much of the reading was true, he said, but he was dissatisfied.
HE SAID he read everything ever written about palmiath, including the palmiath's Bible, "The Laws of Scientific Handwriting." Then he began reading hands himself.

Hands down
For $2 a hand, palmist Charles Hamilton, 946 Louisiana St., can discover clues relating to the mental and physical condition of anyone willing to have his palms prodded, such as his wife Suzanne.
He considers palmistry a physical science instead of a psychic phenomenon.
Hamilton claims to read a client's present health rather than his future in his hand.
"It hasn't been investigated very much because there's so much prejudice," he said.
One third of the nerve sensations coming from behind the lateral lobe of the brain go through the spinal cord.
A person's every level, his way of thinking and his health strengths and weaknesses are revealed in his hands, he said.
TO MAKE a reading, Hamilton examines both of the client's hands. Differences between the hands may indicate that the client is nervous or will go through many changes, he said.
The seven mounts correspond to the seven types of people.
He then scrubitizes the dominant hand, lightly but firmly squeezing the meater with his fingers.
The mount of Jupiter, below the first
anger, is a clue to a person's ambition and
baiting.
Square-tipped fingers or an inability to bend the fingers back indicate practically
People who can bend the fingers far back are likely to be either "pushovers" or
TINY WRINKLES on the pad of the thumb indicate a lack of confidence because the thumb is carried inside the hand when a person feels unsure of himself. Hamilton
He said he found a preponderance of this character when he examined the hands of the two men.
The heart, head and legs running across the palm indicate difficulties or deviations in a person's mental or physical health where the lines are crisscrossed or confused. The soft-skinned palmar traces the lines of events in the client's life chronologically.
A red tinge of the palm indicates that the heart and lungs are functionally well, and blue under the fingernails is a classic sign of heart disease.
RIDGES AND spots on the fingernails indicate a nervous disorder.
a orbital condition may be revealed by nails curling over the fingertips. Hamilton said he had one nail that curled and had occasional attacks of asthma and allergies.
Hamilton said he believed in palimistry because of his own successful palimetry profession.
"I find that when I read someone's hand I am most generally accurate," he said.
HAMILTON SAID he didn't like talking with a client before the reading.
However, he is considering returning to California because there are many more palmists there and they charge higher fees there a hand, and Francisco may charge $10 a hand, he said.
"I tend to forget names, and names, but I always remember a person's hand, he
