CAMPUS AND AREA University Daily Kansan, September 19, 1984 Page 9 Panel requests funds to close reactor By MICHELLE TYRENE JOHNSON Staff Reporter The Student Senate University Affairs Committee last night voted unanimously to ask the Board of Regents and the Kansas Legislature to appropriate money to decommission KU's nuclear reactor. The resolution will go before the Student Senate on Sept. 26. Dennis "BooG" Higbberger, student body vice president and writer of the resolution, said the resolution had committee with unexpected ease. "I was pleased by the committee's vote," Highberger said. HE SAID HE ANTICIPATED more resistance passing the resolution in the Senate, but said he had confidence that it would pass. The estimated cost of filling the reactor with gravel and sealing it off are between $50,000 and $100,000. Dismantling the building would cost between $500,000 and $1 million. "Every day they put it off, the more money it's going to cost." Highberger said as he presented his argument. The Nuclear Reactor Center, on 15th Street across from Green Hall, began operating in 1961. KU's School of Engineering offered a graduate degree in nuclear engineering, and the nuclear reactor was used for research. But the degree was discontinued in the 1960s. "It will save the taxpayers of Kansas a lot of money the sooner we do it," Higbberger said. Safety is the issue, Higherbeger said. He cited studies showing that even low levels of radiation are harmful over time.

Neis, who will face David Hopper, Democrat, in the nov. 6 general election, said Commissioner Nancy wanted to see Hopper elected. "If she can make me controversial," he said, "then she thinks people will vote for him instead of her." He did not know he'd be trying to get really dirty about it. Hiebert, who is a Democrat, is not up for re-election this year. Neis' remarks were in response to a statement and a memo Hiebert presented yesterday at a news conference.

The memo described methods for "termination of surplus stock" and the memos denote sexual sling and sexual acts.

He said the signature must have come from the rubber bottle and the signature stored in the county offices. At the news conference. Hiebert "Anyone could get in there, especially around noon." Neis said. He said he had an idea about who wrote the memo, but would not say anything else. "I got a letter in the mail three weeks ago, and the memo was in it," Neis said. "But I don't know who sent it. Neis and Hiebert often have disagreed in the past. On Aug. 27, Hiebert issued a statement questioning the actions of the two other county commissioners, Neis and Beverly Bradley.
