Energy conservation policies to continue at KU despite hopes for ample supplies
By BETTY HAEGELIN
Reporter
If Lawrence has a mild winter this year, the University of Kansas shouldn't have any difficulty obtaining an adequate supply of natural gas, Bill Salome, vice president and general manager of the Kansas Public Service Gas Company, said recently.
The University, like any large user, is on an interruptible service contract. If a severe cold spell lattes, the University might extend its power supply of fuel oil, which is extremely expensive.
Last year KU was forced to switch over to fuel oil for four days at a cost of $11,855. Cost for heating by natural gas for that period would have been $1,875.
Neither the University nor Kansas Public Service is the judge as to whether KU should have its gas supply cut. Cities Serving Gas Company is Public Service's supplies, and if another area along their pipeline needed gas, KU service could be cut.
Keith Nitcher, vice chancellor for business affairs, said it was this uncertainty that was the real problem in planning the energy budget and corresponding policies.
Masons present cancer center to Med Center
The Kansas Masonic Foundation presented the Masonic Oncology Clinic to a Special Medical Center in dedication ceremonies Saturday at the Med Center's Battelfield Hall.
William O. Rieke, executive vice chancellor for the Med Center, accepted the cancer clinic from Forrest D. Haggard, grand master of the Kansas Grand Lodge, and Henry Bubb, president of the Kansas Masonic Foundation.
The Kansas Masons contributed $32,000 to remodel four rooms and two reception areas in Sudler Hall, the Med Center's outpatient clinic.
The multidisciplinary clinic will treat patients on a rotation basis, Rieke said. This aspect of the clinic is a big advantage because it allows patients with different types of cancer to be treated with different methods, be said.
Work began on the clinic six months ago and was finished about a month ago. The clinic's dedication ended two years of work with the Med Center and the Masons. Masons.
Rieke thanked the Kansas Masons for their service to the Med Center and said he hoped more gifts would be received for cancer care.
"Right now, we are better off this year as far as oil supply is concerned," Nitcher said. "However, this increased supply would last only about a month, and we might be on to more heating oil days than we were last year."
To formulate conservation policies for the upcoming winter. Nitcher has called a meeting of the KU energy committee for this afternoon. Members are from various segments of the University community interested in energy policy.
"People begin to have gas available, and the think crisis has gone away." Nitcher said. "I'm interested in trying to preserve this energy source." But the energy costs for the University down."
Last year, KU saved several thousand kilowatt hours of electricity and reduced its
natural gas energy, which results in a $45,000 savings in energy costs, according to an NPD report.
J. J. Wilson, director of housing, said the residence halls would continue to use energy monitors to conserve as much electricity as possible.
"We are just going to have to do more this year," Wilson said. "The time is coming when we're going to be using a lot of heat, and we will have to make every savings we can get."
Leo E. Ousdahl, assistant director of buildings and grounds, said there would be no change in University conservation methods.
"We'll still have every other light out, and maintain the temperature at 84 degrees,"
Kennedy calls conference to announce political plans
From the Associated Press
BOSTON - Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., will hold a news conference whether he will run for president in 1976, office space is a yesterday.
A spokesman said the senator would hold the conference at 10:30 a.m. EDT to discuss his future political plans.
Asked whether the announcement concerned a possible campaign for the presidency in 1978, the spokesman said, "You can presume that is why you are asking."
Kennedy had said during a trip to California a week ago that he would announce before the end of the year whether he would seek the office by his brother, John F. Kennedy, and sought by his brother, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy of New York.
Both brothers were assassinated, and Kennedy associates have said the Edward Kennedy has refrained from seeking the presidency because of his ties to the United States.
Kennedy is considered by most observers as an odds-on favorite to win the Democratic nomination for president if he seeks it in 1976.
His major handicap is considered to be the 1969 accident in which Mary J. Kopecna was killed when a car driven by Kennedy went off a bridge at Chappaquidick on Cape Cod, Kopecna, a former secretary in Robert Kennedy's office, was a passenger in the car.
Kennedy said last week that if he decides to run for president he would reveal the details of the accident.

CAMP ATTERBURY, Ind—Deserters who want to participate in President Gerald W. Ford's conditional clemency program will themselves entangled in military red tape.
From the Associated Press
At Camp Atterbury, the central processing point for those who choose to seek clemency, they will be hustled constantly from one station to another in an around-the-clock operation that will provide few idle hours.
Idle hours to be few for deserters
"We're going to run this like a milk," said Col. Leon Reed Read, the public affairs officer for the program. "It will be efficient and effective processing."
The facility is prepared to handle 150 men for processing each day, beginning today. Officials say Camp Attibury has space for 5,000 men.
A F. Flurrt spokesman said a group of 75 Army deserters would arrive at Indianapolis today and would be brought here by bus. The spokesman said he didn't know where the men would come from or how they were assembled.
The first 27 to turn themselves in were processed at Fort Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis. Officials said the operation was shifted to this post because of projections that many more would arrive in the next few weeks.
The processing is expected to take about four days for each man. There will be no incarceration. Men will be free to come and go as their schedules permit.
As soon as participants report, their records will be checked to guarantee they are correct.

Financial records will be checked to determine if deserters are due back pay from the point they entered service until the time of desertion.
Before leaving here, participants must sign loyalty oaths and will then be issued undesirable discharges. At the completion of two years of alternate service, the
