"There is no threat to the ground-water at either site," he said.
ALTHOUGH THE SUBCOMMITTEE's list named only the Cessna site and the Getty Oil site, there are three other sites in Kansas that were judged as bad or worse on the state's inventory made during the Surface Impoundment Assessment, because of the hazardous waste unit for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
Goetz said the sites were evaluated according to several criteria, including examination of the thickness and composition of the lining of the site, the amount of groundwater flowing near the site and the proximity of wells for drinking water. Each site was given a groundwater contamination potential rating by adding up the score in each category.
The Cessna site had a groundwater contamination potential score of 28, the highest score recorded. The Getty Oil site score was 26.
One site not named in Moffitt's report had the same score as the Cessna site. Another site, Vulcan Metals, Wichita, came in just below Cessna with a score
Only one potential threat to groundwater was rated by the state in Lawrence. The FMC Corp. site, fourth floor, was rated at 23 by the assessment.
of 27. A site owned by Cities Service Oil Co. in Chaney tied with the Getty Oil site.
Goetz said the subcommittee's report was confusing the public.
Lester Brown, special assistant to Moffitt, defended the list of potential danger spots.
"It makes our job harder," he said. "They didn't explain the rating system or why they didn't include sites rated as bad or worse by our department."
Brown said the subcommittee's list was not meant to alarm people unnecessarily.
"It should help demonstrate where the concern should be," he said. "We didn't blow this out of proportion."
"I don't know why the EPA is upset," he said. "We followed the caveats. The message must have been garbled in the transmission."
"If we have a national policy the EPA can deal with problems more effectively. We won't have to wait for a crisis. Canal to happen before we do anything."

Pearson Hall men deliver food with flair
Steve Steinbach, Mike Combs, Greg Nabors and James Adams prepare for a night of hunting Lawrence's gourmet delights. The group operates an improptus delivery service for scholarship hall women.
By JANE NEUFELD
When the moon is full and the sap is rising in the trees, when the hour is ripe and the dogs bay in the night, the horse hail Hall Delivery service will strike again.
The PSHDS is composed of men from Pearson Hall who collect money, take orders, pick up and deliver doughnuts, ice cream and sundry food items to scholarship hall women. Ordinary enough.

However, there's an art involved in the PSIDS, a flair for dress and straight-faced strangeness that must be mastered.
Dress is variable. Tuxedos are appropriate. So are bathrobes, shorts, trench coats, suits, tennis shoes, swimming trunks, long underwear, hats, butterfly nets and wooden guns. In any combination.
"Westart out each year with a formal run in suits and then diversify," said James Adams, a Liberty, M., co-junior charter member of the year-old service.
Adams said the group got some particularly strange looks once when he and another regular member, Mike Combs, Overland Park senior, went into Taco Via. The other two regular members, Steve Steinbach, Mulvane junior, and Greg Nabors, Lawrence sonbomore, waited in the car.
THE MANNER OF dress often causes problems.
"That was Mafia night." Combs said. He said Adams wore his hibbrote and rose in the crowd.
Two of them wore suits and hats that night.
"Write that down. We haven't used it yet." he told the others.
"No, we independently weird," Nabors said.
Some people don't comment on the clothes, Adams said, but a lot of them will ask whether it's a fraternity initiation.
"Iwas being an Arab." Adams said.
Adams said the costumes did not
resemble the ones he had worn.
"They kept trying to find out who we were and what we were doing," he said. "They seemed to get more apprehensive with each question. Then we explained it to them and they immediately ceased up."
The FHSH5 members got a free large Coke from Taco Via before they left.
"They said they'd give us a free coke if we could produce the other two members, and they were dressed as bizarrely as we were," Combs said.
THE DELIVERIES started in the spring of 197, Adams said. Originally they wore suits and went to a few places like Baskin Robbins and Joe's.
Doughnuts and ice cream are old hat now. Oh their last trip two weeks ago, Adams said, they got tacos, pizza, seedless grapes, bananas, burgers, milk shakes, banana banana milk shakes, Tab, Coke, beer and one chocolate-covered banana.
"The girl who wanted it said she just had a cup of chocolate or a chocolate-covered coffee." Combe
"We got it for her." Adams said.
The PSHDS makes deliveries on an impromptu basis, usually about once every two months. Although delivery runs can take from three to four hours, they do not intend to cut down on the variety of orders they take.
"we enjoy the challenge," Nabors for laborer or crepes suzette, we'll get
If they can't find an item, Adams said, they make a substitution and take the loss if the substitute is more expensive.
The substitutions are not always successful, as illustrated by an incidentubbed "The Saga of the Putrid Daquiri."
Adams said they went to get a lime ice float for someone and substituted a daqui ice cream float when they discovered the shop was out of lime ice.
THE CUSTOMER let them all have a sio of the result.
"It was one of the most putrid-tasting things I had ever had." Adams said.
The hows of the delivery service, unusual as they are, are easier to identify than the whys and wherefores. No one can remember exactly why they decided to start the service or who first came up with the idea.
Steinbach said the idea seemed to just strike them, but he wasn't sure why.
"James and I, every now and then,
get into these moods," he said
with a smile.
THE DRESS, the types of food delivered and the accessories in general became more elaborate as the service continued.
They added music to their deliveries.
The PSHDS now gives a three-part harmony rendition of the Olympic theme and has included "Island Baby" as they make deliveries.
They printed business cards with their motto, their motto,
"Craziness with a Proper Answer."
The purpose?
"We degenerated." Steinbach said.

"We're kind of goodwill ambassadors, actually." Adams said.
At least for the women. But all of them denied that lust was a motive in the deliveries. Attention was what they wanted, they said.
"We got a two-minute standing ovation when we came back last time," Adarna said. "The reaction definitely not be the same from a men's hall."
"It's fun just being on stage for a night." Nabors said.

They don't deny the charge of exhibitionism.
"I'd have to say we're strongly 'exhibitionism.' Adams said. "However, it's exhibitionism for a good reason. It's craziness with a purpose."
CANDIDATE
Already the 1980 presidential election is underway. Now with "CANDIDATE" any two
or more persons can blaze their own campaign trails; gathering contributions, traveling through the states Campaigning and Fund Raising, spending large sums of money on advertising, taking polls, battling for key states, and if players wish to stoop so low, using DIRTY TRICKS cards.
Finally, once the maneuvering, adapting, and bluffing are finished, the players, like the real candidates, can only "sweat it out" until the election at the top. Throughout the game no one knows who is winning.
