Free kits help poor fight cold
By ROSE SIMMONS Staff Reporter
While temperatures drop to chilling degrees, some Lawrence residents are bracing themselves for the higher heating bills of winter.
Renters who live in Lawrence may be eligible for weatherization kits to help cut down on heating bills, food and supplies manager for Penn House, a community services center, said yesterday.
Weather stripping and causing materials are available free to people with low incomes, the manager, Edward Blurton, said. Anyone whose annual income does not exceed $7,760 can set a free kit.
Renters can apply for the weatherization kits by filling out an application at Penn House, 1035 Pennsylvania St. If approved, the applicant will receive a warranty and be said. The kits are paid for with funds from a Lawrence community
development block grant, he said,
renters can amply for the kit every year.
The kit contains tape, nails, caulking materials and heavy plastic to cover moldings. The kit must be kept the plastic in place must be purchased by the applicant.
"The board costs about 35 cents," Blurton said. "It should be about one-eighth of an inch wide and about 5-foot long."
Weather stripping and caulking around doors and windows can save about 40 to 50 percent on heating bills, Johnson said.
HIGHER HEATING bills often result in homes or apartments that leak warm air through cracks around doors and windows, according to Kathy Johnson, energy consultant for Kansas Power and Light.
The idea of weatherization is to cut down on heat loss or warm air leakage. A crack around a front door lets out as much heat as a hole in the wall that is four and one-half inches in diameter, Johnson said.
Basketball ticket sales brisk
Student season basketball tickets are still on sale at Allen Field House, according to Nancy Welsh, athletic ticket manager.
Tickets went on sale last Tuesday through Friday, and Welsh said yesterday that slightly less than 6,000 of the 7,200 student tickets had been sold.
Student seating sold out the last three years, and Welsh said sales were close
"They are going pretty good," she
said, "just a little behind last year's sales."
Last year, tickets didn't sell out until

the second week and Welsh said she hoped for another seliout this year.
Welsh said she didn't think the basketball team's decline over the last two years or the higher ticket prices this year had slowed sales.
Last year, student tickets cost $11.40,
but this year the price is $15.
Welsh said tickets were on sale at the ticket window on the east side of the field house from 8:30 a.m. to 15 p.m. Tickets will be sold until they are ripe.

"Heat loss causes increases in utilities bills," she said, "because it keeps the furnace constantly running to warm the apartment or room."
Air leaks either can cause warm air to be pulled out or cold air to be pulled in, she said. In both cases, the furnace must be on to re-warm the home.
Sliding glass doors also cause heat loss, she said. The metal frame of sliding glass doors draws warm air outside.
Blurton left the outflow of warm air could be stopped by gluing caulkings materials in the cracks of the sliding doors.
WEATHERIZING TECHNIQUES are demonstrated for people who do not know how to use the weatherization materials, Blurton said, but applicants must make appointments for demonstrations.
"When the weatherization program was set up two years ago," Blurton said, "training workshops were part of the program."
Blurton said that the training workshops were discontinued after two workshops failed to attract participants.

While the workshops failed to attract participants, the weatherization team, he said. More than 100 people received kits during the program's two years.
"My gas bill will get to get as high as $32 in the winter," he said. "After I weatherzed, the highest my bill got was $26."
Barney Hubert of Topeka, formerly a Lawrence resident, said the kit he received last year saved him $6 a month during the winter.

NCAA proposal limits financial aid
A National Collegiate Athletic Association proposal to limit financial aid for athletics is special funding the Williams Educational Fund at the University of Kansas.
By ARNE GREEN Staff Reporter
The proposal, up for a vote at the NCAA's annual convention in January, would limit athletic merit scholarships at Division I schools to tuition and books, according to Steve Morgan, NCAA legislative assistant. Room and board would be awarded on a financial need basis only.
The NCAA can now award scholarships for room and board, tuition and books regardless of financial need.
KU's scholarship money for athletes comes from private contributions to the Williams Fund, which raised $1.1 million last year. Williams Fund money is restricted to use for scholarships.
Last year, $422,281 of the Williams Fund money went for housing football and basketball players at Jayhawker
Towers and feeding them at the teams' training tables. These expenditures could be made only on a basis need basis under the NCAA proposal.
ACCORDING TO John Novotny, Williams Fund director and assistant athletic director, KU is one of the few schools with a restricted scholarship
If the proposal passes and a surplus in the Williams Fund results, that money could not be used for other athletic department expenses.
At most schools, contributions can be applied to operating expenses as well, he said.
Novotny said that he did not expect the NCAA proposal to pass, but that if it did, KU would have to consider restrictions on Williams Fund money.
The athletic department already has explored the possibility of removing the restrictions on excess Williams Fund money to help with operating expenses such as travel, Novetny said.
Morgan said that a similar proposal in 1978 fell only eight votes short. The proposed law, which is the NCAA's governing body between conventions.
Morgan said there were two main reasons for the proposal.
"It is hoped it would bring student athletes more in line with the way the rest of the student body is treated," he said, so it could create cost savings."
Novotny said he did not think the proposal was a good idea.
Bob Marcum, athletic director, also objected to the proposal but for a different reason.
"It would be sad to think that they would go away from merit scholarships," he said, "I think if a player had more scholarship, he deserves that scholarship."
"I'm just not in favor of it," he said, "because the costs for room and board differ so greatly. If it's going to cost $200 to go to KU and $450 there also because of differences in living costs, it wouldn't be fair."
Senate
Shnacke and Davis said another disappointment was the Kansan's editorial coverage.
From page 1
"I'm only one person," Davis said, and I don't have a vote. If the Senate decides to hold a recall, it will be
"We try to get off point zero, to get people involved and all they do is get angry. We know whether the changes we made will work, but at least we're trying."
Davis said that was not how they perceived their roles.
"Although people may disagree
with me, with me, at least it stimulates
weed."
Davis and Schnecke have been criticized by senators during the year for taking sides on issues rather than remaining neutral and relaying to administrators and legislators the decisions of the Senate. Schnecke and
Schnecke said he also thought that as a leader of the Student Senate he was more than a messenger.
"As a student leader, I should take an active role," he said.
Students of Kansas, the statewide student lobbying group, and the United States Student Association, of which KU is a member.
Schnacke said that next semester he wanted to work with the Associated
"I want to set up a system to make information from ASK and USSA more available to students," Schmucke said. "I think I will be more actively involved in the groups."
Schnacke said he planned to graduate in May with a bachelor's degree in journalism, and then wanted to attend law school.
Davis is campaigning for a Liberal Arts and Sciences Senate seat.
