Nitcher said Perkins was the recognized authority on KU's power system.
"I am very pleased that Dick Perkins has accepted this responsibility in addition to his regular duties as mechanical supervisor of the physical plant department," Nitcher said.
Nitcher said the committee would recruit faculty members who are knowledgeable about energy and its conservation to participate in conservation programs Perkins initiated.
Perkins said yesterday he had no definite plans about steps to conserve energy.
"Everybody's going to have to do his part to conserve energy." Perkins said.
Perkins said he hadn't been told by the committee what his specific responsibilities as energy conservation officer would be. The committee's next meeting will be Friday and he said he expected to be told about his duties then.

Heat in Strong Defies Thermostats

He heatrises at Strong Hall, but the offices at the top aren't necessarily the warmest, a survey of the administrative offices at the University of Kansas showed yesterday.
The thermostats in the office of Institutional Planning and Research on the first floor and in the office of the chancellor's executive secretary on the third floor have been located at 74 degrees in the first floor office and only 72 in the executive secretary's office.
It was warmer downstairs because the Office of Institutional Planning and Research has windows facing the south and upstairs have windows facing the upstairs office windows face the north.
Across the hall from the Office of Institutional Planning and Research on the campus, Mr. Green had been in the office of University Relations. But the thermostat was also set at 66 degrees.
For some people, the lower temperatures have caused some discomfort.
"I had my gloves on last week, but I didn't have to type that day," Shirley Swendon, a secretary in the office of University College, some people are cold-blooded, and I am."
A secretary in a third-floor office said she periodically had to go into another room, turn up the heating register and warm her over it before she could resume tying.
In compliance with President Nixon's plea to conserve energy, Chancellor Archie R. Dykes ordered in November that University thermostats be turned down to 70 degrees. He later ordered them turned down another two degrees.
The chancellor doesn't have a thermometer in his office, but the thermometers in surrounding offices registered between 72 and 76 degrees.

Balfour said he had turned the room temperature up on Saturday and had opened the window.
"I'll try and watch it," Balfour said while he turned the temperature back down to 68. "You should have noticed I had one light off."

Delivery of Nixon Tapes To Prosecutor Disclosed
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Nixon's Operation Candor continued yesterday with the disclosure that "a significant number" of White House tapes were turned over to special Watergate prosecutor Leon Jaworski during the weekend.
In addition, the special prosecutor received yesterday tapes of two subpena-
Watergate conversations from U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica.
The two deliveries marked the first time presidential tapes have been turned over to
The White House delivered the tapes the same weekend it released a mass of documentation relating to President Nixon's personal finances.
Neither Jaworski nor the White House would say which tapes were delivered
"WE HAVE ASKED for these and we have insisted they be delivered to us and they were delivered," Jaworski said.
He added that there were "still some outstanding requests for tapes from the
Deputy White House Press Secretary Gerald L. Warren said he would "prefer to maintain the confidentiality" of dealings with the prosecutor.
Jaworski's office said the tapes received from the White House "will be carefully analyzed. Such of these as contain information material to the special prosecutor's investigations will be presented to the grand jury without delay."
In addition, an announcement said, "A substantial number of documents requested by the special prosecutor were also delivered and assurances have been given that all documents are in progress for other documents for which requests are outstanding."
SIRICA GAVE JAWORSKI copies of White House tapes of conversations of March 13 and 22, 1973, which had been suboenaed last July.
the subpenaed Watergate tapes, except for two the White House says never existed, were turned over to Sirica three weeks ago.
The White House asserted a claim of executive privilege in asking that all or part of three of the tapes be withheld from the court. The judge also contained nothing related to Watergate.
No claims of executive privilege were asserted for the two March conversations
Sirica gave Jaworski copies after he and his clerk verified they were identical to the original tapes, still in the judge's possession.
They both involved conversations between the President and aides, including John W. Dean III, then White House counsel.
DEAN TOLD THE Senate Watergate committee that during the meeting on March 13 the President said he had approved offering executive clemency to
Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt and that Nixon also said it would be no problem to raise $1 million by the sale of the seven original Watergate defendants.
Dean testified that the March 22 meeting was a discussion of Watergate and the senate Watergate committee hearings scheduled to open seven weeks later.
Sirica told newsman Monday that technical experts were taking a second look at the tape of a June 20, 1972, conversation between the President and then-White House chief of staff H. R. Haldenman in an attempt to determine what caused an 8-minute fault.
THE TECHNICAL EXPERTS had examined the lab at a laboratory in New York City and returned it to the judge a week ago. During the weekend they asked for its return, Sirica said, adding he hopes to have their report by the end of the week.
During the past two weeks, Sirica heard testimony on what might have caused the gap in the June 20 tape which was one of those subpoenaed.
Introduced into evidence at the court hearing was a letter Jaworski wrote Nov. 15, 173 to J. Fred Buzhardt, White House lawyer.
In that letter. Jaworski asked for the June
4 and tapes. He requested the tape of a meeting between 3:06 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. on June 3 involving the President, Haldeman Kirchman, then his domestic affairs adviser.
HE ALSO ASKED for the tape of a meeting between 5:16 p.m. and 5:50 p.m. on June 4 between the President and Charles Clinton, then White House special counsel
Tapes of telephone conversations on those two days between the President and Colson Johnson.
Dean has testified that a plan to offer executive clemency to Hunt was discussed during those two days. In a related development yesterday, a federal judge refused to bar the Senate Watergate committee from questioning witnesses in closed sessions.
The request for an injunction was made by Chester Davis, attorney for Summa Corp., a company controlled by billionaire Howard R. Hughes. The Senate committee has been taking testimony in closed sessions about a $100,000 cash contribution from Hughes to Charles G. "Bebe" Tebozo, the President's close friend.
Bebozo and the President have said the money, held in a Florida bank for nearly three years, later was returned.
Docking to Adjust Faculty Pay Increase
By SUZI SMITH
Kenan Staff Reporters
TOPEKA-Gov. Robert Docking said last night that there would be "some adjustment" made in the 5 per cent salary increase for faculty at state schools that was recommended at the state budget hearings last month.
Docking said he couldn't say how much the 5 per cent increase might be adjusted
Docking met here last night with student body and senior class presidents from the university.
The Board of Regents had requested a 10 per cent increase for faculty of the College Karen K. Kaplan, the director, but recommended that faculty salaries be raised five per cent instead.
Docking said that he was still "balancing his resources against his demands." There are necessary choices that have to be made between life and learning, he said.
All of the student representatives agreed that faculty salary increases were the top priority.
"We realize that the money has limits. The number one priority has to be faculty salaries," Joe Knopp, student body president of Kansas State University, said.
Mert Buckley, Wichita senior and student body president of KU, called current faculty
The student representatives also stressed the need for approval by thelegislature of a
$770,000 allocation to cover tuition fee waivers at the state schools. The program would give KU and K-State each $100,000, plus fees for three colleges and each of the three colleges $90,000.
Seventy-five per cent of the funds would be used to pay athletic scholarships, and the remaining funds would go to music, debate and journalism programs.
Victor Miller, student body president at Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia, a town prominent to the colleges than to the universities. He said the colleges were being hit harder by decreasing enrollments and were finding it increasingly difficult to fund their schools.
He said that the only way to avoid dropping minor sports and to face the coming enrollment crisis at the colleges would be through the waiver program.
Buckley said that he and Pat Neutrom, Salina senior and senior class president, mentioned specifically to Docking faculty members at the colleges and women's intercollegiate athletics.
"The desire for these programs was clearly made," Buckley said. "Now it lies in the fact that we have to take them."
Neustrom said he thought Docking was very receptive to the student represent-
"I really don't know how much consequence this dinner is going to have on his life."
Europe Allies Warned Soothed by Kissinger
BRUSSELS (AP)—Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger warned the European allies yesterday that they and the United States face the choice of closing ranks or flying apart into two competing groups accused of mounting Soviet military strength.
But Kissinger promised to stand by the allies despite the disagreements and proposed the development of a unified energy program to tackle an oil shortage he said would have developed even without the October war.
He defended U.S. support of Israel during the Middle East war, telling the North Atlantic Treaty Organization council that "We are not interested in Europe's interest as the United States.
THE SPEECH KAS WISKER's first to the council, which is holding a two-day year-end meeting. It was paraphrased for newsmen by U.S. officials who said the secretary emphasized that the alliance cornerstone of American foreign policy.
At one point, Foreign Minister Michel Jobert of France and Kissinger had a sharp exchange over the issue of consultation. Jobert said Europe should have been advised before President Nikon and Soviet Communist party leader Leonid Breehwe worked out their declaration last June on the prevention of nuclear war.
Kissinger immediately challenged Jobert, the leading European critic of American policy in the Middle East and on better ties with the Soviets.
First, Kissinger listed a growing Soviet military force which he said was the primary reason for the search for detente. He also said upheaval in developing nations have greater urgency than differences across the Atlantic.
CONFERENCE SOURCES SAID Kissinger read from the June declaration passages that bind the two superpowers to each other, and with other countries if peace is threatened.
INFORMED DIPLOMAT reported that Kissinger disavowed any intention to keep Britain and France out of the Middle East peacemaking process. But he also said he told the NATO ministers both inside and outside Europe, who were French representatives would complicate the peace talks due to begin in Geneva Dec. 18.
Kissinger attempted in his speech, however, to heal the wounds that deserved when most of the allies separated them and fought for their stance during the war and its aftermath.
He said differences between the United States and Europe paled in comparison with the results of the study.
Dayan said that Israel won't talk peace with Syria until it turns over POW list.
Israeli Defense Minister Möse Dayan told the Israeli parliament that the refusal to deal with Syria at the Dec. 18 Geneva peace negotiations was a tactic.
An Israeli refusal to negotiate with Syria would be a serious blow to chances for the success of the negotiations.
Israel says Syria has refused to over name of the 102 Israeli POWs believed in Syria, and the International Red Cross has confirmed the
Congressional tax experts received the first documents of Nixon's tax returns.
The material Nixon released in disclosing his tax affair confirmed that he paid about $80,000 in federal income taxes over the past four years and no state income taxes. He asked the Joint Committee on Internal Revenue Taxation to review the returns.
Gas retailers want Phase 4 controls lifted so prices can rise $1^{c}$ to $3^{c}$ a gallon.
"We are fighting for our survival," said Charles Binsted, president of the National Congress of Petroleum Retailers during a convention. He made his comment at the same time an industry publication told of rising gasoline prices.
Wage and price controls were lifted from auto industry but increases limited.
The Cost of Living Council said it extracted a commitment from Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp. to limit price increases for the remainder of the 1974 model year to an average of no more than $150 a mile, less than from American Motors for an average increase of no more than $100.
Chrysler Corp. the council said, declined to make similar commitments, but the council decided to exempt it from controls.
Department of Labor filed suit against milk producers alleging unfair labor practices.
A spokesperson for the Associated Milk Producers, Inc. had no immediate comment on the suit allurement that it violated the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The Labor Department petition asserts that the association hasn't been paying overtime compensation to workers who have worked more than 40 hours weekly at branch plants in Rusk and Sulphur Springs, Tex., and Laurel, Neb.

At least one suit could seek to halt pipeline construction, scheduled to begin within weeks. Completion of the line, which will lift the rich oil fields of North Dakota, would be a big challenge.
Sayhe's nomination to be attorney general.
Nixon formally submitted to the Senate
Saxbe's nomination to be deputy general.
Nixon picked Sen. William E. Saxbe, R-Ohio, to be attorney general more than a month ago but had been unable to make the nomination because the Senate had declined to send $80,000 a year from $50,000 while Saxbe was serving in the Senate.
That constituent obstacle was removed when Nixon signed into law a bill reducing the attorney general's salary to its previous level.
