KU Seeks to Educate Public on Fuel
An energy policy committee, directed by Keth L. Nitcher, vice chancellor for business affairs, is studying ways in which governments can provide public on energy conservation and reduce
its own energy consumption.
Robert T. Aungeeberg, director of institutional research and planning and a member of the committee, said yesterday that the University, because it is an
Better Lawrence Airport Essential, Saves Engineer
By ROY CLEVENGEL Kansan Staff Reporter
An improved airport is needed for Lawrence even if enrollment at the University of Kansas, economic growth and availability of fuel fall below estimates, a consulting engineer for the airport project has said. The County Planning Commission last night.
"What we're proposing is absolutely essential for today," said the consultant, James Bucher, of the firm Bucher and Willis.
Bucher said projections that the Lawrence Municipal Airport would need to handle business jets by 1990 were based on predictions that there would be by then 22,000 KU students and 90,000 people in Kentucky and the southern third of Jefferson County.
Improvements to be made if voters approve a $644,000 bond issue in the Dec. 11 election include construction of a lighted 5.00-foot runway.
However, Bucher said, under current plans the runway would be expanded to about 5,700 feet by 1990 to qualify for Federal Aviation Administration permission to handle small business jets. These plans would be delayed if environmental, economic growth or availability of adequate fuel below estimates, he said.
Bucher predicted that the present fuel shortage wouldn't seriously affect the growth of small aircraft use in the next 20 years.
"The industry is the most sensitive to the fuel crisis," he said. "But for the next 20 years flying appears to be the only reliable, fast way of travel."
Planning Commissioner Johanna Kolmorgen said the environmental impact statement for the proposed improvements would be handled at the airport. She said she
thought this might cause the statement to be enforced by federal agencies.
"Cases have gone to court over this," she said.
Bucher explained that cargo estimates weren't included because freight operations wouldn't significantly affect the number of aircraft that would use the airport.
"Even if the cargo was zero, you'd still need the airport," he said. "It wouldn't have been a problem."
He said that a study showed 30 per cent of businesses chose locations based on their profitability.
educational institution, should act as a good citizen and educate its constituents, students, faculty and staff about saving energy during the current crisis.
Bucher said the present airport was unsafe for some craft in use here. He said some planes landing at Lawrence require a runway that is not long. The runway here is 1000 feet long.
Aangeenburg said Security and Parking had conducted a study of the outdoor campus lights that had been turned off and not illuminated. The campus security didn't be jeopardized.
Other steps under consideration by the committee include a voluntary reduction of the work day by encouraging office staffs to take half-hour lunch breaks. Aneugenbrug trip may be arranged if the car turned off earlier and would reduce the number of trips for off-campus lunches.
The committee also is studying ways of using University's courses about the consumption and conservation of energy to educate the public.
Aangeenbeg said the committee was also thinking about publicizing the amount of gasoline and electricity consumed by the army and trying to use smaller amounts.
The University has taken steps to conserve energy, including setting the thermostats at 68 degrees, turning out all unnecessary outdoor lights, reducing light in corridors, eliminating portable electric heaters and installing air-conditioned cold weather. The committee recom-

Writer Talks About Creativity
Creativity is derived from a lust to experiment imaginatively, Jack Matthews, short story writer, novelist, poet, critic and professor at Ohio University, said after reading several selections of his work last in the Council Room of the Kansas Union.
Matthews, who read a passage from his novel, "The Charisma Campaigns," and a short story, "Amos Bond, the Gunsmith," to fun to experiment with voices and styles.
Matthews said he liked to experiment because it kept him interested in what he
"If a writer applies an experimental
experiment, said Matthews, 'an event has
occasioned it.'"
A writer must also strive for originality.
And Matthews, not for novelty's sake, but to
shake up the narrative.
However, he said, a writer tends to repeat certain styles.
"We're all success oriented," said
Welsh, and if something goes right,
we want it to happen.

Loschulov will deliver a speech next on "Sea Ice and Remote Sensing on its Parameters," Loschulov is a senior scientist with the radiation electronics department of the Artic and Antarctic Institute in Leningrad.
The scientists met Moore when Moore was in the Soviet Union last summer, Nicholas said. They will arrive in Lawrence and speak on Monday and leave Tuesday.
Martinskvich will speak last on "Sea State and Remote Sensing of its parameters. Martinskvich is a senior instructor in the Center of the U.S.R.S.Nicholas said.
