KSU selected for cleanup program
Bv Mike Rracefield

The U.S. Department of Energy wants students to learn how to clean up the world, and the department is willing to pay for it.
The DOE has selected Kansas State University to participate in its fellowship program in environ- national preparation and waste management.
Larry Erickson, coordinator of the fellowship program at K-State, said that, as a DOE-designated university, K-State would teach students in several fields of engineering and relate to environmental cleanup.
Erickson said the DOE had a fellowship program for graduate students and a scholarship program for undergraduates.
"We have two students who will be juniors this year who have received scholarships," he said.
Erieckson said the students, Mark Stedley and Brendan Ryan, would receive $600 a month plus
tuition and fees.
Dean Eckoff, professor of nuclear engineering at K-State, said the students won two of about 20 national scholarships awarded. The students are nuclear engineering majors.
Eckoah said that the awards were renewable and that the students would attend a summer camp. But they would be paid $900 a month.
Eckoff said graduate student fellowships paid about $1000 a month plus fees and the practicum.
He said students had to apply to a national program for the awards.
"It's the students who get the awards, not the school," he said.
Erickson said the DOE foreseas a need for expert personnel in environmental restoration and hazardous materials safety, hazardous and radioactive wastes.
Local police may go active
By Debbie Myers
Kansan staff writer
Lawrence law enforcement officials said they did not foresee staffing problems if local reservists were called to active duty.
Four KU police officers and four Lawrence police officers are members of the military reserves.
KU Police Lt. John Mullens said three of the four KU officers were in the Army Reserves and one was in the Navy Reserves. One of the Army reservists is in a medical unit, so he is more likely to be called.
He said the department was more concerned about the reservoirs and their families than about potential staffing problems. The department would continue the reservoirs' benefits if they were called, he said.
Mullens said if one of the reservists was called, the department would rearrange schedules to cover the vacancy.
Chris Mulvenon, law enforcement spokesperson, said four Lawrence police officers were in the National Guard. If an officer was called, the department will take immediate absence as if someone was on vacation or serving summer Guard duty.

Army in need of former soldiers
Because Army units continue to go to the Middle East, the Army needs soldiers who have served before to immediately enlist and be assigned. Mr. Miles will assist Jt. commander of Army recruiting services in Kansas City, Mo.
"The regular Army especially needs prior Army soldiers and

Marines with less than five years since last honorable discharge." Jolissain said "Many of these require little or no retraining and can have an immediate impact on the readiness of gaining RA units."
Jolissaint said recruiting former service members from all military branches was critical as Army reserve units were alerted for activation and mobilization.
Retraining in a new military occupation may be possible in the Army reserve for prior soldiers from any branch. Jolissaint said.
"A brand new requirement for September is the need for prior service personnel qualified for Speech or Green Berets," Joissaint said.
