8 Wednesday, September 24, 1986 / University Daily Kansan Controllers agree to drug treatment United Press International OLATHE โ€” Five air traffic controllers at the Kansas City Air Route Traffic Center who have been found to have used cocaine or marijuana off duty have agreed to undergo rehabilitation, an official said yesterday. "Those five involved in the drug use are anxious to start rehabilitation," center manager Felton Lancaster said at a news conference. The five were given urine tests with 31 other air traffic controllers after allegations of off-duty drug use were raised against them. Lancaster said. Twenty-eight controllers at the suburban Kansas City center were returned to operational duties after being cleared of the allegations. The investigation is about 95-percent complete since results of the tests involving three controllers were not yet available, Lancaster said. I don't expect any further employees to be involved," he said. "This is not to be construed as a reflection on them as people or as proof of their involvement in drugs. It simply means that the investigation has not been completed." The five controllers will meet with counselors in the Federal Aviation Administration's employee assistance program to determine what type of rehabilitation process is necessary in each case. Urine tests will become part of the annual physical given to every controller in the nation beginning in January 1987, he said. An investigation of the 36 controllers began earlier this month when allegations of off-duty drug use were brought to the attention of officials at the center. Lancaster said allegations of drug use at a going-away party were incorrect, but he would not say what brought the allegations about. He also said the 36 air traffic controllers were also not told who brought the allegations. Senate accepts plan to raise speed limit United Press International WASHINGTON โ€” The Senate approved an administration-backed measure yesterday that would permit states to raise the 55-mph speed limit to 65 mph on rural interstate highways. With Western senators leading the attack on the 55-mph limit, the Senate passed the measure by a 56-36 vote. "This arbitrary speed limit simply does not fit the vast stretches of western highways," said Sen. Steve Symms, R-Idaho, in support of his amendment to the $10.2 billion spending bill for the Transportation Department and related agencies. Symms said his amendment, which he called "a very modest proposal," had President Reagan's backing. He said the 55-mph limit had "forced states to spend an extraordinary amount of money on enforcement." The Senate worked late in an effort to complete passage of the spending bill, which finances the federal highway program. Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis, speaking against the Symms amendment, said, "What makes us think if we make it 65 all of a sudden people will become law abiding? They will still break the law, only faster." Sen. Chie Hecht, R-Nev., offered an amendment, which was defeated 60-36, that would have permitted states to raise the speed limit to 65 mph on all rural roads, not just interstate highways. "It's a simple matter of states' rights," Hecht said, citing studies he said showed that 70 percent of all drivers exceed the 55-mph limit.

In the past, gasoline retailers for the turnipwe were selected based on the highest bid to rent the six KTA-owned facilities. Fuel prices were higher than those at nearby off-turnipke stations. Under new guidelines, KTA will award the contract to the company that guarantees the lowest prices to motorists. The retailer will be required to sell at a price equal to or less than a fixed margin above the published wholesale price for the region. Pester Marketing Co. of El Dorado is the apparent low bidder at all six locations, KTA spokeswoman Callahan said. The contract will be considered at a future KTA meeting, she said. On the record "The capital improvements will be at our expense and overall rental income from the stations will be down," said Nick Badway, KTA chairman. "However, we feel this is an important step in our continuing efforts to provide better service to our customers." Stereo equipment valued at $1,784 was taken between 1 and 3 p.m. Sunday from a residence in the 3200 block of West 25th Street, Lawrence police said. As part of the contract, the KTA is upgrading the service stations by adding new pumps, overhead canopies and new storage tanks. The work is scheduled for completion within a year. The renter will be required to make interior improvements at the stations including the refurbishing of restrooms, Callahan said. WRITING A TERM PAPER?
