Petition urges re-election bid
Page 6
Vogel vows not to run again
By DENEEN BROWN Staff Reporter
Running for re-election would be contradictory to the philosophy that anyone can be a president, Carla Bidens body president, said yesterday.
But that hasn't stopped a former student, Greg Walstrom, from circulating a petition to convince Vogel run for re-election. Walstrom announced his petition drive at Wednesday's Student Senate meeting.
University Daily Kansan, September 28, 1984
Vogel, whose term ends Oct. 15,
said that the petition was a way of
showing support for change and an
incentive to keep change moving.
ALTHOUGH SHE PROBABLY would not consider running for
re-election, she said, she would continue to work with the Senate because many changes still needed to be made.
"I feel I couldn't just walk out in November and say its over," she said, "but I feel I can do a lot without being president."
Vogel, who took office in March after the regular November election was invalidated by the University Judicial Board, said that although her term was short, she would have to think very hard about running again.
Caryl Smith, dean of student life, said no rules prevented a student body president from running for the position and no other president had attempted.
Vogel said Walstrom, who could not be reached for comment, started
the petition because he approved of what she was doing in office.
DENNIS "BOOG" HIGHBERGER, student body vice president, said he did not think he and Vogel would run again because they wanted to project to students that everybody could get involved.
"If we ran for re-election, we would be saying that nobody else can do this and that would be contradictory." he said.
Both Vogel and Highberger said they would campaign for senate seats in November.
Vogel, who graduated in December but remains a non-degree seeking student, said, "We don't need to be in a high power role to make changes. Wherever we are on the ladder, we can make changes."

KG&E faces fine for firing worker
WICHITA — Kansas Gas & Electric Co. of Wichita will be fined $64,000 by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for allegedly tiring an employee who abused employees at the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant, an NRC spokesman said yesterday.
Wells said he was disciplined, fired and refused re-employment because he told KG&E's quality
John Collins, NRC regional administrator in Arlington, Texas, said the citation was issued after an investigation and hearing conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor into a discrimination case in August 1963 by James Wells Jr., a former plant employee.
assurance manager about safety problems with electric hardware and electrical installation at the facility, Collins said.
KG&E owns 47 percent of the plant, being built near Burlington, and is responsible for its construction. Kansas City Power and Light Co. of Kansas City, Mo., also owns 47 percent of the plant, and Kansas Electric Power Cooperative owns 6 percent.
The plant, scheduled to begin producing electricity from nuclear energy next spring, has a combination cost estimate of $2.9 billion.
In June, Secretary of Labor Raymond Donovan upheld an earlier decision by a department administrative law judge that a violation of the employee protection provision of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 had
occurred.
Collins said that after the NRC reviewed the labor department's decision, the commission found KGAE had violated the commission's regulation, and still was conducting its own investigation into Wells' allegations.
In a letter received by K&E yesterday, Collins said, "Discrimination by a commission licensee against an employee for engaging in certain protected activities is prohibited. The activities protected include reporting of quality discrepancies and safety problems by an employee to his employer."
KG&E must respond in writing to the complaint within 30 davs.
Lyle Koerper, KG&E spokesman, said yesterday that the company disagreed with the NRC decision.

Drinking Myth of the Week
REASON#4 TO CALL YOUR PARENTS:
YOUR ROOMMATE.
Your parents told you that your new roommate might have a few idiosyncrasies. They weren't kidding.
But they never told you how much fun it was going to be working out your differences.
So call and tell your parents all about the fights at 3 AM, the tantrums at 5 AM, and the laughing when it's done. They'll be glad to hear you're working it out.
So go ahead, call your parents after 11 PM weeknights or between 11 PM Friday and 5 PM Sunday when rates drop to their very lowest.
Your parents will be glad to hear that you're still in good hands.
