Concern for Nuclear Theft Grows With Terrorist Activity Increase
By CRAIG STOCK Kansan Staff Reporter
Charges of lax security at nuclear installations have raised the specter of terrorists using homemade atomic bombs for international blackmail.
Concern about terrorist group stealing atomic material and making nuclear weapons is warranted, said Francis W. Prosser, professor of physics and engineering.
Prosser said, however, that he thought there was no imminent danger of do-it-yourself nuclear weapons being used by terrorists for international blackmail.
Atomic experts are debating both sides of a recent controversy about security at Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) installations. Prosper said.
Strict precautions should be taken to prevent theft of nuclear material or nuclear
Technical problems would preclude any but the best-organized of terrorist groups from making atomic weapons, Prosser said.
Although the general principles of nuclear weapons aren't difficult to understand, he said, making functional atomic bombs is a complicated matter.

Gump said the Dean of Women's office made sure that Douthart and Sellards halls were full because low occupancy would be a greater hardship for their residents than it would be for residents of Miller and Wakkins halls. So Gump and Wakkins halls pay only for their meals.
About 1,400 of the 1,500 spaces in fraternities will be filled this semester, Rick McLaughlin, president of the Inter-Fraternity Council, said.
GUMP SAID MILLER would be about six persons short of capacity, although the six persons are taller.

HE SAID A tremendous rush effort by all the fraternities had accounted for the increase of 40 pledges over last year, despite increases in most house bills.
Wendy Margin, president of the Palm Beach International said she said that it was as successful a past year.
"A SORORITY OFFERS a woman her tenure to live in an organized place," she said.

Students Jam Area Housing
There are about 800 places in the sarcotities and they are almost always near caves.

Bill Webster, president of Webster's
Modular, said student interest was
"very" high.
"Students seem more determined or concerned that they are here for an education. They might think that proper help in their grades," Webster said.
BOTH BUYING AND renting of mobile homes is un over recent years, he said.
"Our prices to rent are about the same as five years ago and interest rates are within a per cent or so of what they were three to four years ago," he said.
More calls for rentals have been received this year at Jayhawk Mobile Home Court, Brunswick, Va.
Glen McGonigle, landlord, said there seemed to be more interest in rentals this
He said his apartments were about as full at this time last year. He said he had only three one-time efficiency apartments left to rent.
HE SAID THAT TACVANCES were about the
rentals, and that most of his
rentals went out to them.
MGONGCLLE SAID HIS apartments stayed full because they kept their nice, attractive rooms.
Finding and telling the veteran of his benefits will be the purpose of the new Veterans Administration (V.A.) Benefits department, which is representative (Vet-Ren), said recently.
Erma Mcmanns又McManns Real Estate Rentals had only a few places left to rent. She said this was probably just a little slower than last year.
"There has been a lot of bad mouthing of the VA in recent years," Neste said. "The impression was that veterans had been given a raw deal.
Benefits Explained To University Vets By New VA Group
"The new attitude of the VA is: 'Let's find the vet and give him everything he's got coming.' We want to help him find his niche in society," he said.
VET-REP STEVE CURRIER said the Benefits Council was making a massive effort to cover all university campuses. The council will inform veterans about disability compensation, pensions, home loans and educational benefits.
Ten mobile vans are traveling throughout the United States as part of the information program, said Currer. A van will be in attendance in the middle of August to the end of September.
The Benefits Council isn't part of the University Curry's staff, although its office is in Durham.
Kansas' reactor isn't large enough to produce the great amount of atomic material that is necessary to construct a bomb. Prosser said.
or nuclear weapons from a nuclear AEC installations where atomic material is processed or large nuclear reactors could also be targets of atomic theft, he said.
The greatest danger, Prosser said, is theft of nuclear weapons from a military base.
Even after theft of the material, Prosser said, handling radioactive material and building a bomb require technical expertise.
"It requires all the little engineering things that make the difference between what is possible in theory and what is practically possible," Prosser said.

Prosser said the increasing number of nations with nuclear weapons or nuclear reactors presented a problem of control of atomic material.
Nations should develop strict monitoring policies to keep track of nuclear materials and to guard against loose security at atomic installations, he said.
Prosser said he thought the United States and other countries would take the necessary steps to protect atomic weapons. He prepared atomic material to gold in its value to nations.
"If it is felt sufficiently important to protect the material the government will do it," he said. "Despite 'Goldfinger', Fort Knox hasn't been knocked over."
