Enerau chief resigns
From the Associated Press
WASHINGTON - John C. Sawill, federal energy administrator, resigned yesterday morning in a policy struggle to decide whether the nation should burn less fuel or mine and drill for more. Sawill said in an interview that he was "very proud of some others might be applauded." President Gerald R. Ford said in a news conference that it was Interior Secretary Rogers C. B. Morton, chairman of the Energy Resources Council, who wanted Sawill out. Sawill may stay in office until he resigns, but he is not a rare orange man. Andrew E. Gibson, a former assistant secretary of commerce, has been nominated to replace Sawill.

Hunt denies blackmail
WASHINGTON - E. Howard Hunt Jr. testified yesterday that his money demand to the White House last year was just an attempt to collect an overdue bill. Hunt, testifying at the Watergate coverup trial, said it was neither extortion nor blackmail. Hunt said that in March 1973, when he was about to be sentenced for his role as foreman of the Watergate break-in team, he had had word relayed to the White House that he wanted $122,000 to pay his lawyers. He said he threatened to disclose other covert jobs that he had done for the White House.
Economy drop sharp
From the Associated Press
WASHINGTON—The government reported yesterday that its early warning system for the economy registered the sharpest drop in 23 years in September, raising the prospect of higher unemployment and idied productive capacity. President Gerald R. Ford described his economic program as adequate to deal with the threat. In Pittsburgh, U.S. Steel Corp., the nation's largest steelmaker, reported third-quarter earnings of $213.6 million, more than double the net income for the same period last year.
Mideast oil prices
From the Associated Press
RABAT, Morocco—Saudi Arabia has told other Arab oil nations that it wants a "symbolic cost" in world petroleum prices but plans no unilateral action, a Saudi official said yesterday. However, the New York Times reported earlier that an informed Arab source said the per-barrel price of oil, $1.65, would be lowered next week by less than a dollar. An unilateral by the world's largest oil exporter could force down all oil prices.
England to nationalize
From the Associated Press
LONDON—Queen Elizabeth II told Parliament yesterday that the Labor government planned to nationalize key industries, including aviation and oil, in a Socialist bid to revive Britain's economy. The Queen's address, written by Prime Minister Harold Wilson's cabinet, said a National Enterprise Board would be proposed to direct the restructuring and reorganization of Britain's industries. She said a National Oil Council would lead on the establishment of a government regulation of the North Sea oil and gas operations, which Britons hope will eliminate Britain's need to import oil by the late 1970s.

The commission also considered adoption of the 1973 Uniform Building Code and heard recommendations from the city at large. The committee unanimously criticized case tests by city housing inspectors.
The Kansas Public Service Gas Co. Inc.
will be allowed to raise its rates to general
service customers by one per cent per 1,000
cubic feet beginning Nov. 4, 1974. Large
businesses and large industrial concerns
can increase 3.5 cents more per 1,000
cubic feet.
The gas company had asked for a 3.3 cent increase per 1,000 cubic feet for general service customers said the Black Water Oil company, engineers in Kansas City, Mo., were arbitrators of the
The commission also approved on first reading the 1973 Uniform Housing Code. In a meeting last week, the commissioners and the Housing Code Appeals Board reviewed recommendations for local changes in the code.
increase. The city accepted their recommendations.
The proposed changes focused on the requirement of facilities for the handicapped and disabled persons, and the requirement of fire detecting devices in specified types of new buildings.
The changes must be approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development before the code is implemented in Lawrence.
Concerning the enforcement of minimum housing standards, City Attorney Milton Allen told the commissioners that the city had ordered the mayor to inspect housing for structural defects.
Allen said the city could obtain a com-
pursal order from the district court to the owner of a property to allow housing protection.
He said that before the court order could be issued probable cause would have to be shown. That is, a tenant, a former tenant or someone else who had been inside the building would have to sign a complaint saving the building was an unsafe structure
City Manager Buford Watson said that if the building in question were inside the city's enforcement zone, the city could obtain a court order without a complaint signed by someone who had been inside the dwelling.
In other business, the commissioners heard a proposal from Bud Jennings about an extension of his lease on the Bowersock at 6th and Massachusetts streets.
Jennings, who owns a carpet outlet on the first floor of the warehouse, asked the city to consider extending to him a 40-year lease on the building. Jennings would borrow money to refurbish the building.
Jennings has made plans for the warehouse in case he can obtain the funding. He sees the building with a $45,000 elevator system taking customers from the first to the fourth floor of a high quality home furnishing center composed of a number of shops housed inside the completely revamped warehouse.
The commission also officially passed amendments to the city ordinance raising its age requirement.
The commissioners decided to set up a
building near the old building and listen to Jerry's plea for help.
Jennings told the commission that banks couldn't lend him money unless they could pay for it. But they did.
In addition, it established a salary of $9,000 a year for the municipal judge, who is appointed by the city manager, and a maximum of $50 a day for the judge propenate, who is appointed by the municipal judge. Watson said that previously no salary was provided for the judge pro-tenate. Mr. Watson noted that him out of his own pocket. The salary, according to Watson, makes everything more clear and separate.
four months left on his present lease.

A report criticizing the use of Feedback, a research tool used by the University committee has been issued by Richard Wassersug and Richard F. Johnston, professors of systematics and
The Committee on Promotions and Tenure uses the results of question 12 of the Feedback survey along with other information from its department in the department when deciding promotions.

"It seems evident that Feedback measures satisfaction of students with an instructor and not whether the student has a good or bad impression," the report read,
However, according to the report, something else is important — a pleas of considerable importance.
Richard DeGeorge, a member of the Committee on Promotions and Tenure, said Feedback was used by the committee if the results were up for promotion made the results public.
According to the report, the original process was as easy as to measure the ability of the instructor.
One of the options for a teacher is to keep Feedback results private, in which case the results are made public.

"We must get used to conserving energy," he said, "and possibly doing without some of the things we are used to having.
"It's not really that hard to keep the thermostat at 65 or 88 degrees. But over the years we've used to having it set at 72 degrees."
Salome mentioned several ways everyone could help conserve energy. Shutting off lights in an empty room is one way. Closing the window can save energy. Adequate insulation in the attic can save up to 20 per cent on a gas or electric bill. Five per cent can be saved by drawing the drapes on windows facing the east or west, be said, Water heaters can be turned down and water heaters can be switched washing machines can be run completely full instead of only partially full.
"KU has been very helpful in conserving energy," he said. "They have formed an energy committee to cut down on the use of fossil fuels." We are trying to make people see the problem."
One of the members of that committee is Richard Perkins, energy conservation officer for the University and maintenance engineer at building and grounds.
"The main savings have come because of the things we have been doing, such as taking lights out of buildings and cutting down on outside lighting." Perkins said.
