Vietnam vet angered over drawing's theft
By Karen Blakeman Of the Kansan staff
Within 24 hours of its being placed at the safe of the plained Vietnam memorial Monday, an architect's drawing of the memorial was stolen. A Vietnam veteran says this can't be a typical college jeopardy.
The drawing, in a 'Pixygloss' and stainless steel frame, was placed on a metal pole at the planned institutional site during a conservation ceremony at 4 p.m. Monday and was discovered stolen at 7:45 a.m. Tuesday, KU police said.
Pacific police they had no suspects.
"I don't know why anyone would do something like this," Lisa Ashner, a member of the KI Victim Memorial Committee said costlessly.
John Musgrave, a veteran of the Vietnam War, said he remembered a time when people did this sort of
thong too frequently, and why they did it
"This is a cawfully act made by a person or persons wishing to make some sort of twisted statement about the war or the policies that led us there by attacking the first physical evidences of the memorial," he said.
Mustrage who has worked for two years to see the memorial become a reality, said the theft had not been the first act against the memorial project. The pole the drawing was to be placed on was stolen before the ceremony, he said.
Tom Anderson director of facilities operations, said his staff worked to replace the pole in time for the concession ceremony Monday.
Mustragr said he first considered the theft of the pole a random act that had nothing to do with the memorial. "Just of course, that's not the case now," Mustragr said. "Speaking as Vietnam veteran, a member of

Mmusgave, who joined the peace movement after returning from Vietnam, said he thought whoever took the drawing was behaving in the same way some people behaved during the war — blaming the veteran for a situation he had not created.
Far too often the Vietnam vet has been held up to ridicule and to blame, when we did nothing more that what our forefathers had done — we served our country.

House, Senate buy time to hash out budget plan
United Press International
WASHINGTON. The House and Senate yesterday approved different versions of a small increase in the federal debt limit to buy another month to work on balanced budget legislation and assert a U.S. default while President Reagan is in Geneva.
But because the two houses failed to agree on how to approach the short term increase in the government's borrowing authority, the issue was still unresolved.
The House agreed to an $80 billion increase in the debt ceiling, up to $1.9 trillion, which they said was enough to cover the nation's bills through Dec. 13.

Wolf Creek rehearing
United Press International
TOPEKA The Kansas Corporation Commission yesterday denied a rate rehearing to utilities that own the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant, but did adjust its order to permit two of the firms to earn an additional $6 million.
In an administrative meeting, the commission rejected utility arguments that it had acted arbitrarily when it declared $3.00 billion Wall Creek plant should be valued like a cheaper oil deposit because it contained a lengthy list of other arguments aimed at revoking the rate case.
