could be released by thousands of small iner bursts striking the isotopes, Enoch said. If this method were used the materials wouldn't have to be contained.
"All the physics and theoretical problems haven't been solved." Enoch said. "If they are, this would be the ultimate solution to the energy crisis. The real solution now is political, but in about 100 to 200 years the fossil fuels will be all gone."
Lawrence Brady, research associate with the Kansas Geological Survey, said survey staff members had developed new methods of mining Kansas coal seams. He said the new techniques combined strip and underground mining.
"The seams are only about 18 inches thick, but they contain some of the world's finest coal," he said. "These new methods would be more efficient and would bring a substantial savings in land reclamation costs."
Brady said the methods would be tested as soon as a major coal company was willing to invest the necessary development money.

Small-Car Sales Increase Here

Kansan Staff Reports
There has been a noticeable increase in the sale of small cars since the beginning of the energy crisis, several local car dealers said Saturday.
Buck Entertin, salesman for Competition Sports Cars Inc., 2000 W. 29th St. Ter., said that sales of Toyotaas had been picking up steadily during the last six months and that the recent gas shortage undoubtedly had been a factor.
"Last spring, when the gas shortage first became public information, our sales were up."
"We have something we call a 'conquest sale,' which is a sale to a person who is
changing from a bigger car, like a Chrysler to a smaller car. These "conquest sales" have increased by 40 per cent in the last year."
Phil Hunter, sales manager for Tony's Imports-Datsun, 500 E. 32rd St., said there had been an increase in sales of Datsuns since the gas shortage had begun.
"I don't know what the percentage of increase would be, but it's significant."
Many people are concerned about a fuel shortage and are trying to sell their big cars to customers.
He said that the increase in demand for small cars had become apparent early last year. He said, however, how few backlogged orders because orders weren't taken in advance.

Coal Supply Guarantees Adequate Area Electricity
the makers of Honda motorcycles, about three months ago.
ACCORDING TO Esther Elder, officer manager, the firm has sold 60 Honda cars in the United States.
He said the coal was transported from southeastern Kansas by rail to generating power.
"We've been selling lots of them, but I don't think we sell more of them than anything else," she said. "We do have lots of orders for them, and we can't get them in."
A. B. Sanders, owner of Sanders Motor Co. 9th and Mississippi streets, said the rush for smaller cars had started six or eight months ago and had eased off recently. Sanders Motors Co. sells Lincoln, Mercuries and four-cylinder Capris.
Lawrence area residents won't have any problems getting enough electricity this winter. Austin Stedman, division manager for Power and Light Co. (KPL), said Friday.
Steadman said KPL had already con- tended for enough coal to supply electricity this year.
"It just the opposite of what everybody told me," he said, selling more large cars later. "he said
He said the coal would be of the same quality as last year.
Stedham said he didn't know whether the price of coal had increased since last year because KPL had a long-term contract with the company. But as interest rates increase was included in the contract.
"When a customer places a demand on us we are obligated to supply," he said.
The KPI, generating stations at Ablene and Hutchinson are powered by natural gas and can use oil as an auxiliary power source. he said.
sanders said he thought the small foreign models had been selling so well because they had lower prices, not because they conserved gas.
KPL is in a difficult position because it is a public service company and can't refuse to serve anyone or regulate how a person uses power, Stedham said.
When construction of the Lawrence generation station began in 1967, he said, natural gas wasn't readily available. KPL anticipated an energy shortage and installed a coal burning system and pollution control equipment at that time, he said.
HOWARD SMITH, a salesman for John Haddock FSMITH, 23rd and Alabama streets,街shedn't bad noticed a great in-
tention to a medium-sized medium-sized cars in the last few months.
He agreed that an increase in sales had begun six to eight months ago and had reached $10 million.
Stedham said there was no need to worry about an electrical power shortage this year because none of the stations was running at peak power. He said electricity usage

Steadham recommended that residents try to stop air leaks in homes by installing storm windows, storm doors and more efficient windows. Cost cuts as well as energy consumption
"Some people went from a large car down to one small car, and now they're trading those in for medium-sized cars. They found that it was a pretty drastic change," he said.

The statement said that to get through this winter as comfortably as possible, it would be necessary for each individual student to use fuel as prudently as possible. This can't be done if windows are left open the heaters are left running, the statement says.
THE STATEMENT also said that thermostats in public areas of residence halls are available for use.
The housing department contracts with the Kansas Public Service Gas Company for fuel to heat residence halls during periods of extreme cold weather. It also provides a temperable condition that allows the gas company to shut off the residence halls' heating supply in times of extremely cold weather. This allows the gas company to have a sufficient gas supply for domestic use.
periods. Wilson said housing department maintenance workers would make the necessary switch from gas guel to oil fuel at each location.
The housing department maintains reserve oil supply tanks at each residence.
THE INDIVIDUAL residence hall rooms have their own heating controls. It will be up to each student to use fuel as prudently as possible.
Wilson also said that there hadn't been any real fuel problem at KU in the past, but that the country had never faced such a drastic fuel shortage in the past.
