KU, city provide indoor sports
When cold weather drives many students indoors, several recreation facilities at the University of Kansas and in Lawrence will offer winter sports throughout the fall and winter seasons.
"We want to try to make the field house available for drop-in recreation," Tom Wilkerson, recreation coordinator at KU and director of recreation services, said recently. "We're trying something new this year at Allen Field House."
Wilkerson said that Allen Field House would be open this year to students for jogging, volleyball, basketball, table tennis and softball. The team wanted to add badminton later this year.
Student hours at the field house are 7 to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, noon to 10 p.m. Saturday and 3 to 10 p.m. Sunday. A master calendar in the east entrance foyer of the field house lists the times of games or tournaments that pre-empt student hours.
Robinson Gymnastics also has facilities for students, Wilkerson said, although many of the activities there are structured clubs such as judo, karate, kencing and square dancing.
Robinson has three handball courts, which are open to students on a reservation basis from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. every day. Wilkerson said reservation could be made at Robinson on Mondays to reserve courts from Tuesday through Thursday, and on Thursdays to reserve a court Friday through Monday.
The regular schedule for students at the swimming pool in Robinson is Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 1:40 p.m.
Warren Boozer, recreation manager of the Kansas Union, said football, pinball machines, bowling and pool were available in the union's Jay Bowl. The Jay Bowl is located on campus at 105 E. Walnut Street on Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m. It stays open "until we run out of business." Boozer said.
Susan Zeck, SUA indoor recreation chairman, said that indoor activities sponsored by SUA for students included handball, basketball, table tennis, bridge, soccer, football and football. The games are played in the Bowl or in Robinson, she said.
More information about SUA programs is available from the SUA Office on the main website.

Executives say nuclear power is advantageous
The advantages of nuclear power outweigh the disadvantages, two representatives of Kansas Gas and Electric Co. (KGE) said yesterday.
Robert Rives, vice-president of information services, and Robert Hagan, director of plant services, addressed the energy alternatives open to the country.
US.
KGE is one of the owners of the Wolf Creek station.
The speakers concentrated on the Wolf Creek generating station, a nuclear reactor planned for construction in Coffey County, Kan.
Nuclear power, according to Rivers, is "both necessary and attractive," because of the diminishing supply of traditional fossil fuels.
There are potential dangers involved in the production of nuclear energy, Rives said, and the use of any fuel involves risks that must be controlled.
Hagan noted that one of the chief advantages of uranium as a fuel was that the United States had a relatively large percentage of the world's supply of the ore.
Though both men agreed that solar energy would be the ideal energy form, they said that the costs of such energy are too prohibitive, at least for now.
There are currently 56 nuclear plants operating in the United States, Hagan said, and their maintenance and production actually better than those of coal plants.
Rives said the Wolf Creek plant would be necessary to accommodate the increased energy demands in Kansas. The plant is expected to open in 1982, he said.
The country's immediate energy future, Rives said, demands the combined use of nuclear and fossil fuels. The combination of both will be more chemically than the separate use of either fuel.

John Ross, superintendent of recreation for the city, said the Community Building, 115 W. 110 S., had a gym open from 3 to 5 p.m. on Friday and 1 to 8 p.m. on weekends.
regulation we have for someone to participate in one of our sports programs is they have to be a resident of Douglas County. We have few regulations for students using our facilities than most cities do."

There is also a weight room and informal volleyball for women at the Community Building, he said, and coed volleyball beginning in mid-October at Cordray School
gymnasium, 1837 Vermont St., every Thursday evening.
Ross said that last year several junior high school gyms were open to the community a few nights a week, and that he had the gyms would be open again this year.
Fall recreation schedules can be picked up at the recreation office in the city offices, 912 Massachusetts St., and winter schedules will be ready in November, he said.
The only problem with students using the city's facilities, Ross said, is that they need to take them over, so the local residents can't use them.
