KUAC awards concessions pact

Jayhawk sports fans won't notice any change in prices this year, but the popcorn, hot dogs and peanuts they eat at the games no longer will be provided by the Kansas Union
The Gladieux Corp., of Toledo, Ohio, has signed a five-year contract with the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation and will furnish concessions at football and basketball games beginning this fall.
Monte Johnson, KU athletic director, said Friday that the KUAC preferred to deal with a firm that was solely in the business of providing
concessions, rather than with the Union.
"We have to get the most out of concessions income as we can," he said, "because that's one of our sources of income, and we didn't want to put that pressure on the Union."
Gladieux was selected from several bidders, which included the Union. The KUAC will receive a larger portion of concessions income from Gladieux than it did from the Union.
"The main reason we did it is because we're going to make more money," said Art Lingle, KUAC assistant business manager.
Gladieux renovated or replaced concessions stands and equipment in Memorial Stadium and Allen Field House.
"There's not one piece of old equipment in that stadium," said Brent Jones, new concessions manager.
Jones, who was concessions manager at Ohio State University for eight years before coming to KU, said electrical wiring and plumbing for the concessions stands at the stadium was replaced. The work was supposed to have been completed yesterday.
freshness. Popcorn would be prepared in popping plants and taken to the concessions stands in insulated bags, where it would be stored for use in warmers. There are three popping plants at the stadium and one in the field house.
Gladieu also will provide Jay-hawk posters, hats, shirts and other novellies to sell at athletic events.
Jones said the stands would be operated, as in the past, by volunteers, such as Boy Scouts of America and local churches.
Sgt. Daniel Gifford, 37, who was kIdnapped by the suspects at gunpint Saturday after he stopped their motor home on Interstate 70 east of Russell, told investigators the group was in a way that made him think the group right-wing leanings of groups like the Posse Cunitatus.
Armed abductors still loose
United Press International
RUSSELL — A Kansas Highway Patrol trooper abducted for a short time by two men and a woman thinks the suspects may belong to a right-wing, paramilitary group such as the Posse Comitatus, a patrol official said yesterday.
Capt. Melvin Wedermeyer with the patrol confirmed that Gifford linked the suspects to a group like the Posse Comitatus, but said Gifford had no
The well-armed suspects were at large yesterday. Authorities had few elues on their whereabouts, said Col. Bert Cantwell, patrol superintendent. Several sightings of a car the trio stole from a farm house were being investigated, he said.
They then turned off the interstate and traveled county roads until they came to a farm house owned by Ira and Amanda Mog near Wilson. The two women who lived at the house and Gifford were forced inside the house, where they were hound
Gifford was bound with his own handcuffs and ordered to lie on the floor of the motor home. The suspects took his service revolver.
The suspects stashed the motor home in a shed and stole the Mogs' car. Seconds after they drove away, the Mogs and Gifford freed themselves and contacted authorities. No
proof to back his suspicions. Gifford, an 11-year veteran of the patrol, was unavailable for comment.
The incident began about 2:40 p.m. Saturday when Gifford stopped the suspects on Interstate 70 to advise them that several items packed onto the roof of their motor home were coming loose. As he talked to the female driver, another suspect came around to the driver's side carrying an AR-15 rifle, the civilian version of an M-16 military rifle.
Ira Mog, 82, said yesterday that the suspects — young, clean and well-dressed — said little to the captives.
one was injured. The entire episode lasted about 50 minutes.
"The only thing they said is, 'Do what you're told,'" he said. "There was no names mentioned. About the people who did they was pointing those rifles."
"When we was all lined up by the car, I thought they could mow us down here right quick," he said. "But house and tied us up, I wasn't worried."
He said he feared most for his safety and that of his family when the suspects ordered them to stand against his wife's car.
Wedermeyer said records show the motor home was stolen from Salt Lake City on Aug. 21 and was bearing an Idaho license plate stolen from a farm pickup three weeks ago.
He said Gifford told investigators the suspects gave no indication
where they came from or where they were headed.
NRC investigating Wolf Creek
BURLINGTON — The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is conducting three investigations of the $3.05 billion Wolf Creek power plant in east-central Kansas, the agency's chief investigator said.
Associated Press
Ben Hayes, director of the agency's office of investigations, declined Thursday to specify the subject of the investigations or say when they would be completed. However, he said the NRC, which granted a full-power license to the plant in June, was giving priority consideration to the investigations.
"We normally do not disclose the areas to those we are investigating," Hayes said.
The agency's review of Wolf Creek workers' latest allegations began little more than one week before the U.S. government was issued." Glickman said.
The five-member commission directed its staff to continue those investigations on June 3, when a license was issued clearing the way for commercial start-up of the plant, which is expected in several weeks.
The regulatory commission earlier investigated workers' allegations of employee harassment, falsification of documents and drug use during the plant's construction.
not know the nature of the investigations, KG&E spokesman Lyle Koerper said.
Glickman said he had asked Gov. John Carlin to create a state agency to monitor the safety of Kansas' first nuclear power plant because he thought the regulatory commission could not do an adequate job.
If the investigators determine a penalty should be imposed, the agency could impose a fine, suspend the plant's license and refer the matter to the U.S. Justice Department for possible criminal prosecution, said Clyde Wisner, a spokesman for the agency's regional office in Arlington, Texas.
Murder weapon remains missing
JUNCTION CITY — About a dozen Geary County sheriff's officers unsuccessfully searched an area east of Junction City yesterday for a weapon thought used in the 1983 murder of Martin Anderson of Emporia.

Investigators also searched the area Saturday afternoon after receiving a
The officers drained at least a portion of two small ponds near the
tip on the murder weapon.
Geary County Sheriff Bill Deppiis called the search off about 6 p.m., but said it probably would resume sometime this week. He said yesterday he would meet with the county attorney to discuss the matter.

Yesterday, Depsh would say only
that his officers were looking for evidence that they might have
