Wolf Creek utilities seek rate increases
By United Press International
WICHTHA — The two principal buildings of Kansas' first nuclear power plant yesterday asked the Kansas Corporation Commission to approve rate increases as high as 62 percent, in response to the expenses of building the plant.
Kansas Gas and Electric Co. of Wichita and Kansas City Power & Light Co. of Kansas City, Mo. Filed with the Cases of $25.33 million with the KCC
KCP&L's request called for a $1106 million rate increase to be phased in over the next four years,
said Gary Haden, KCC spokesman. KG&E requested a $144.9 million, or 33 percent, rate increase for the first year of its planned five-year phase in of costs from the plant being built near Burlington.
The KG&E increase would permanently affect the utility's 235,000 customers in south central and southeast Kansas, including Wichita. The increase translates into a 40.1 percent increase in the first year.
K&E PLANS TO return to the kCC each of the next four years, ask for the third year, next year, 10.8 percent the third year, 8.2 percent the fourth year and 4.6
percent the fifth year, officials said
percent the nine year, officers said. Those figures could change depending on the operating costs of Wolf Creek, increased or decreased sales in electricity and the general economy.
KCP&L's proposal would effect the utility's 128,000 customers in northeast and eastern Kansas, including those living on the Kansas side of metropolitan Kansas City. KCP&L customers would see a 25 percent increase in the first year, a 14 percent increase in the second year, an 8 percent increase in the third year and a 5 percent increase in the fourth year.
KCP&I AND KG&E each own 47
percent of the $2.9 billion nuclear sale.
tion still under construction. The remaining 6 percent of the plant is owned by the Kansas Electric Power Cooperative, which is expected to file its proposed rate increase for the plant on Tuesday.
The proposed rate increases for the utilities would take effect after the plant begins full operation, scheduled for late spring, officials said.
Bob Rives, KG&E spokesman, said in a news conference that the net increase to KG&E customers would be $120 million because of the estimated $25 million the company plans to save in fuel costs from the plant. Those savings would be passed on to consumers. Rives said.
Journal to feature undergraduate research work
By KADY McMASTER Staff Reporter
Undergraduate students wanting to publish research papers will have the opportunity next semester when the first edition of the Kansas Undergraduate Review is published in May.
Chris Shannon, Golden, Colo.
freshman and editor of the publication,
said the Kansas University
Honor Student Association's steering committee decided last year that a journal that featured undergraduate research was needed. Such a publication has been printed in the past but has not appeared for several years.
We think the publication of papers
is a great way to recognize the talent of undergraduate students," she said. "Right now there is no forum, and if a student feels his papers are exceptional, he needs a forum. There is no way to share the knowledge he has obtained."
SHANNON SAID THE only undergraduate journal currently published at the University was exclusively for philosophy students.
Undergraduate students may submit one or more papers of "scientific or analytical nature" in liberal arts and sciences to the selection committee by Jan. 18, she said. Papers submitted after that date will be considered for next year's journal.
Students may submit their work at
Nunemaker Center. Applications for staff positions will also be available.
"The submitted papers can pertain to topics such as political science, economics, psychology experiments and biology," Shannon said.
The papers must contain a brief abstract of 200 to 250 words and biographical information about the author, which includes the author's name, press, phone number and major Four copies of the paper must be submitted.
ONCE SUBMITTED. THE papers will be reviewed by an editorial board that will then send the papers to faculty members qualified in different areas of liberal arts and sciences. After the final selection, the author and the editorial board will revise the papers.
She said the format of the journal would depend on the number of papers published and the budget. Shannon had no definite idea where financing for the journal would come from.
Shannon said the journal would be a paperback with about 50 pages.
"This is the first time undergraduate students will be given the opportunity to really improve their papers through revision, comments and criticisms from the board and faculty." Shannon said.
"We have some ideas," she said.
"We're just waiting for some concrete feedback."
Shannon said that several papers had been submitted and that she was surprised at the amount of interest students had shown.
Oliver Hall residents to be stars for a night
By JOHN EGAN Staff Reporter
Some Oliver Hall residents will be huddled around television sets tonight with some of their friends for the hamming it up on the screen.
At 11:30 tonight on "All Night Live," a late night variety show on an independent Kansas City, Mo., television station, 30 Oliver residents will become the show's studio audience.
Brent Medley, Coffeeville junior and president of the hall, received a phone call Wednesday from the show's producer, who asked whether Medley could bring a group of Oliver residents to the house. "I don't know," "fineest, craziest" residence hall at the University of Kansas."
"I can't pass up an opportunity like that." Medley said yesterday.
"It's really an uplifting feeling. Everybody's really hyped. The spirits are high."
Barbara Gilmore, production assistant at KSHB-TV, Channel 41, said the show's producers tried to bring on a variety of guests, from the zany to the sublime, such as actors, well-known actors and students.
"We thought about KU, and we thought maybe KU would like to be represented," she said. "So we talked." The sound they like are excited.
Medley said, "I'm still in a state of shock. I can't believe they called us."
Yesterday, Medley conducted a lottery to choose the students for the show. About 170 students signed up for the lottery, he said, but only 30 could go. Medley said the hall would rent a bus to transport the students to the TV station.
