I can hardly be set up—possibly as soon as March of next year. In the short run, he said, rationing would prove to be a “hassle” for people.
Willer forsees more serious consequences for the long run.
"It is part of the feeling of freedom to be able to get into the car and go—but that will be stopped. Frustration will pile up, and it will have an outlet, nobody knows."
WILLER SAID the present social system wasn't conducive to artistic outlets for the rest of us.
Television is relatively cheap to operate, and Writer and family grow closer by sharing ideas.
He said there was a possibility that our society would become less suburban—that people would have to live closer to their jobs.
Willer said President Nixon's policy on the energy shortage was irrational.
ITS IRRATIONAL because it is precious limations on the travel man. Luxury cars are the first thing to go. Rich people can still fly, but I take my cheap vacation to Colorado?
Willer said that only 10 per cent of the American people had ever been on a plane and that less than 50 per cent could afford vacations. In view of the shortage of fuel, he said, even fewer people will be able to take vacations in the future.
"There will be less geographic mobility, and that will make people unhappy," he
it is unusual to run cars at 90 m.p.h., he said. "Why not run small cars at 70 m.p.h." It would be more efficient." Wither also said mass transit systems can reduce emissions.
Willer said one mass transit possibility was the magnetic flight system, which powers trains up to 400 miles per hour with high efficiency and low energy use.
Another shortage-induced change in
life, said Willer, may be a decline in
individual effort.
Willer said he remembered a time when People shivered through the winter. It's possible, he said, that we will return to that community and take steps to make sure it doesn't happen.
He said a row of townhouses with only two external walls could be heated much more easily than four external wall structures, and housing insulation regulations, said Willer.
A "well-insulated house costs maybe 5 per cent more to build and 30 or 40 per cent less."
"Maybe this will force people to begin to think they can get along without cars," said Hanson, who rides a bicycle to and from work every day.
F. Allan Hanson, associate professor of anthropology, agreed that better rapid transit systems would be a partial solution to the fuel problem.
Hanson said the decision that surface travel in the United States would be by car was made during the Eisenhower administration, and the interstate highway system, was begun.
The Student Senate won't be allowed to allocate a recreational activities fund consisting of student activity fees collected in the 1950s and '60s, Chancellor Emeritus Raymond Nichols and Charles H. Oldfather, university attorney, said yesterday.
The Student Senate Executive Committee (StudEx) passed a petition last night asking Chancellor R. Dykes to override the senate to allocate the money
The fund, which totals about $180,000, has been earned by the administration for partial use as funding for improvements in the school. The funds are Buckley, Wichita senior and student body president, said that the money would be allocated by the senate and that he would take ownership of the program.
Nichols had yesterday, however, that Oldfather had ruled that the funds were never under the jurisdiction of the senate. He also said he would not allocate student activity fee funds, Oldfather ruled that the allocation power wasn't retroactive and didn't include the funds.
The StudEx petition passed by a vote of 1 to 1 and called on Dykes to "administer expenditures of any student activity fees collected and unspend prior to 1967 in the same manner as all funds currently levied and collected as student activity funds . . ."
The petition was signed by Buckley,
Richard S. Lauter. Evanston, III, senior.
"Mr. Oldfather has determined that that is University money and I think he's right." N
chairman of the senate Finance and Auditing Committee, cast the only vote against the petition. He said that the senate had enough to do without worrying about allocating the money and that the question was whether the credit for funding the improvement program
"We're both aiming for the same goal," McKernan said. "What difference does it make who gets the credit for funding the plan?"
Buckley said that the senate's legal position in the matter was doubtful but that he thought the petition was necessary as a matter of principle.
"I believe we don't have a legal leg to stand on," he said. "My intent in signing the petition is an appeal to the chancellor and his personal judgment that the senate should have the right to spend those fees. It's just a matter of principle."

Buckley said yesterday, before Nicholls allotted the money, although he费 forced spending the $180,000 on the field house expansion, he thought the money should be allocated by the senate to address it.
Buckley said he favored using the money for the field house because he thought that it was the best use, other than improvement of Robinson Gymnasium, for recreational funds. Buckley said he didn't want student athletes in the gymnasium's Phase II expansion plans.

In a related development, the White House said Nixon would release complete information in series form that would answer "all questions . . . and misconceptions" about the President's personal finances.
The Watergate prosecutor contended the conversation was crucial because it had破获 three days after the June 17, 1972 break-in at Democratic party Headquarters and show how much the two men had known about any illegal activity and what efforts, if any, they had made to conceal the truth from Nixon.

"Already, notice of future layoffs and cancelled contracts have been issued by general aviation companies in Kansas and throughout the industry."
With the stock market in a tailspin, the administration will try to calm some of the uncertainty at a news conference tomorrow scheduled by Herbert Stein, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. The uncertainty will be further increased this year with slide into a necessary next year with the jobless rate going to 8 per cent.
Only if the consumer bears the heaviest burden of the shortage can a recession be avoided, the economists concluded. A decline in economic production is possible if fuel for industry is cut back any more, they say.
Wise Fuel Plan Seen as Block To a Recession

WASHINGTON (AP)—A high-level government assessment of the fuel shortage's economic impact concludes that a proper fuel-allowance year with proper fuel-allocation polices.
The 1974 picture on inflation is cloudier. The economic slowdown expected next year will help moderate some price increases, but fuel prices will probably advance sharply, the government economists believe.
Nixon administration economists see the unemployment rate going up from its present 4.5 per cent but falling short of the 6 per cent forecast widely by private economists.

Buckley said partial student funding of improvements for the field house might prompt the state to move ahead with funding for the gymnasium. He said, however, that student contributions to the gymnasium project would only invite the state to let students continue to fund new building projects.
“If we put the floor in Allen Field House it would give us a stronger bid for Phase II of Robinson gymnasium,” Buckley said. “If we want to get the floor out, I afraid we'll get into another Wescole.”
The origin and history of the recreational activities fund has been obscure since Athletic Director Clyde Walker made the announcement in October that an athletic board meeting in late October
According to Nichols, the money was collected as student fees during an almost 20-year period. In some cases of the money had been allocated to University organizations each year and that the existing fund had been allocated fee money that had never been
The fund continued to grow, Nichols said, until 1966 when it totaled $250,000. In 1968 a decision was made by Nichols, Keith L. Notch, now vice chancellor for business affairs, and then Chancellor W. Clark Wescoe to set the money aside for future use for student recreational projects. Nichols said the three decided that the University is as trusted for the university rather than give it to student government to allocate.
The only use of the money came when
In 1972 the Student Senate under then student body president David Miller, approved the inclusion on the 1972 spring election ballot of a referendum which would have required borrow up to $80,000 from the KU Endowment Association in the name of the student body. The money would have been used to augment expenditures planned by the athletic Association to improve Allen University's collection of an artificial floor and other items.
former Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. allocated $75,000 from the fund for the construction of tennis courts north of the O Zone parking lot. The courts were completed this year at a cost of about $70,000 and the remaining allocation was returned to the recreational fund to leave the current amount of $180,000.
Under the referendum plan the debt would have been added to the student debt from the East Memorial Stadium Credit and Loan Agreement. It would have been paid off by simply extending the period of the agreement and continuing to retire the indebtedness through student season athletic ticket sales.
In the election the referendum passed, but the loan was never taken out because the Athletic Association didn't raise enough funds to fill the field house improvement program.
In a written statement to the senate dated Jan. 24, 1972, Miller said that "funding of this proposal is not possible through the University." Now, however, it is clear that the $18,000 was available for such use at that time but that those who knew of the
