Miners
Continued from p.1
The disaster is the worst in a South African mine since 1960, when a Coalbrook mine cave-in killed 432 miners.
The two-shaft mine is 65 miles east of Johannesburg in an area known as the Gold Reef, Africa's largest gold-producing area. The Kinross mine ranks in the middle of gold production from the area's 30 mines.
South Africa's mines depend on blacks who are regarded as migrant workers. Factional fighting at the all-male hostels in which the workers
live claimed more than 100 lives in the first six months of the year.
The Chamber of Mines had issued a report yesterday saying that in the first half of 1986, the fatality rate for gold mine accidents dropped below one per 1,000 workers for the first time. It said the injury rate had been halved over the past 10 years, and so far this year had been reduced to 18.81 per 1,000.
The Chamber of Mines, representing South Africa's mining companies, said safety improvements
The Kinross tragedy brought an angry response from Cyril Ramaphosa, general secretary of the National Union of Mineworkers that claims a membership of about half of the country's 450,000 black miners.
were achieved despite new difficulties associated with the increasing depths and scale of operations.
Folders
"These types of accidents where workers are killed through factors that can be avoided by management are becoming totally unacceptable," he said.

recording of the data would be too much work, vanZandt said.
"I conceive expanding what we do now so a student can access records on-line and ask hypothetical questions like what will happen if I take this class this semester or get this grade point average?" "vanZandt said."
He said he didn't think the computerization of recordkeeping would open the system to computer hackers. The system only can be signed onto from a specific terminal,
he said, so hackers couldn't enter and change grade information without detection.
"They would have to be very,very clever," he said.
VanZandt said the electronic folder also would save the college money in the long run.
He said he thought the paper folders themselves cost about 75 cents each. With 10,000 students, that would add up to $7,500.
This system could be useful for any university, Lineberry said.
"We're looking at quantum leaps in student services," he said. "I think we're ahead of almost everybody else."
Some deans of the other KU schools were also interested in the electronic folder system, Lineberry said.
Cail Locke, dean of engineering, said the school was considering the electronic folder system, but wanted to see how the college's system worked out first.
The Lawrence City Commission last night made the first move to establish a certified development corporation, which could increase small business ventures in Douglas County.

Commission makes move to help small businesses
Staff writer
The commission voted unanimously to put $7,750 to help establish such a corporation in the county. An additional $7,750 is expected to be appropriated soon by the Douglas County Commission to match the $15,500 that the state would donate if the city and county form a corporation.
Douglas County is one of only six counties in Kansas that does not have a certified development corporation, or CDC, which is a company that handles small business loan applications.
Campbell-Becker, 901 Kentucky St., a business consulting firm, has filed a petition in Washington. D.C., with the federal Small Business Association asking for certification of the proposed development corporation.
Charles Becker, a spokesman for the company, said it had submitted a $57,000 bid for the job. The city, county and state funds amount to only $31,000 but, Becker said, his company would be willing to absorb the additional costs.
Although the commission's vote was unanimous, the two commissioners who run small businesses were reserved in their support.
Commissioner David Longhurst, who operates House of Usher, 838 Massachusetts St., said the state might consider lowering taxes on businesses.
Commissioner Mike Amyx, who owns Amyx Barber Shop, $842.2 Massachusetts St., said he was unsure exactly what businesses would receive financing from the corporation.
Mayor Sandra Praeger was more enthusiastic about the commission's decision to create the corporation.
"We're fortunate that Campbell-Becker has applied and can do the job, and that they are willing to absorb some of the cost themselves."
Customers get service and a smile

MOUNDRIDGE - If you think business executives have no sense of humor, you haven't heard the telephone company president who's so funny he can even make calling the time-and-temperature number an adventure in comedy.
Floyd Krebiel, president of the Moundridge Telephone Co., likes to reach out and tickle his customers' funny bones by telling a 15-second joke when they dial the time-and-temperature number.
Before callers learn the date, time and temperature, they're treated to Krebbiel's homespun, family-style humor.
This week, by dialing (316) 345-858-701, callers will hear: "Twenty years ago when our son attended Kansas University — the college that doesn't pay its players — a sign was posted near the dining room door that warned. 'Shoes are required to eat in the dining hall.'
