Energy Crisis Reminiscent of'40s
By CRAIG STOCK
Kennan Staff Memoirer
It wasn't called 'the energy crisis' then, but the United States was faced with the necessity of conserving energy more than 30 years ago.
It was, of course, called World War II and it was the nation's first experience with gasoline rattoning on a massive scale. Energy conservation measures were begun at the University of Kansas and across the nation after the outbreak of war on 7, 1941.
As the war continued, rattling and other conservation efforts became stricter. But according to Chancellor Emeritus Raymond Nichols, the measures caused
Nichols, who was executive secretary at KU during the war, said KU was subject to a bombing attack.
NICHOLS SAID GASOLE rationing limited University vehicles to a set amount of gasoline for a month, which necessitated the use of fuel that would estimate the supply for University operations.
*This raised the questions, "Is this trip necessary?" and "Is it urgent?" Nichols
The first steps in energy conservation during World War II were similar to the actions recommended recently by President Nixon.
The Kansan reported a study done by the KU buildings and grounds department five years ago.

What you should know about diamonds:
CLOCKS AT KU WERE set back an hour on Feb. 9, 1942, as the nation entered "War Time," a daylight time which lasted for the duration of the war.
"...C. G. Bayles is busy figuring out how much heat and light can be saved by turning radiators off on Friday night in rooms that are not used over the woo-
dies and by jantors, students and faculty turning off lights which are not in use."
The Kansan ran an occasional editorial objecting to War Time in the winter because students had to go to morning classes in the dark.
Complaints increased after Dec. 1, 1942,
when gasoline rationing began on a nation-
wide basis.
Bureaucratic bungling was apparently a problem in the gas rationing program, according to the Kansan. The Kansas reported that rationing registration for Douglas County was postponed a week before delayed delivery of registration forms.
Problems continued, as the Kansan reported:
A perfectly cut diamond will reflect all the light upwards for maximum brilliance.
*BECAUSE MANY CAR users used
or four gasoline registration
banks in the county*
County
Every ArtCarved diamond is precision cut for which it neither fits our shape, our colour, oval or marquese.
People didn't drive to campus or downstreet, Nichols said, because they had to be on their way home.
Experts have predicted gasoline rationing for the United States within six months. History may not repeat itself, but in the event of gasoline rationing, grips, and a loss of visibility are walking and increased demand on public transportation should be expected.
HE SAYED THAT GAS radiation was in-convenient because of time and war of conflict, and convenient in conjunction.
Clayton Stone, a KU modification and improvements analyst, said gasoline rationing altered his mode of transportation for the war's duration.

"You couldn't take any trips," he said.
We sold our automobile and did without a car.
Stone said he rode hues and a bicycle during the war, and traveled by trains when he was with his family.
remembered no pressure on the use of electricity or natural gas during the war.
The Kanan wrote, "People are walking now as they haven't walked in a long, long line."
Stone worked for the Kansas Power and Light Company during the war and said he
ran out of official registration blanks
westerday."

The problems of rationing failed to squ鳄 KU social life. A Gas Rationing Eve dance was given, and the king of the dance received a gallon can of gasoline with a label that read, "Do not open until December 1."
The gas rationing appeared to have affected the lives of many.
