KU buys four telescopes By JOHN HENDEL Staff Writer Four new telescopes at the University of Kansas observatory are giving astronomy lab students more chances to gaze at the stars. The telescopes, all six-inch reflecting telescopes, were added this summer to the 27-inch reflecting, the eight-inch reflecting telescopes and reflecting telescopes the observatory had ahead. According to Shawl, director of the observatory, the equipment will be used primarily by the astronomy laboratories, although the Astronomy Associates of Lawrence (AAL) also have access to the equipment. Hsaul said that the telescopes cost $30 perpiece, which he said was inexpensive. He said that his company was making a few new ones. Shiawl said there were two ways a person could use the camera for astronomy lab, and by looting the AML. on the telescopes, including fixing their mounts. The funds for the telescopes came from the department of physics and astronomy. The new telescopes won't be used at the open house the AAL has every cloudless Friday, unless there is a special event that warrants their use. Shawl said. He said all the equipment was available to AL members who had been tested on its suitability. Shawl said the equipment at the observatory was good. In a note of a few flaws servatively was good, in spite of a few flaws. He said he thought the mounting for the 27-inch telescope was designed by an engineering student writing a master's thesis. 'The optics (primary mirror) of the telescope are not too bad,' Shawl said, 'but the mechanical design is not conducive to research." Shawl estimated that to replace the 27- inch telescope with one of an equal diameter and good research quality would cost $100,000 to $150,000. The best location, Shawl said, is 20 to 30 miles out of town, but this location would decrease the observatory's accessibility to students. The observatory is basically a teaching tool and not a research observatory, he said. "Having the observatory located in the middle of a town with lots of lights, and being on top of a heated building distorts the image," he said. KCC studying $ 20^{\mathrm{c}} $ calls One problem with the observatory, according to Shawl, is its location. Hearings are in progress in Topeka by the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) to determine whether the rate increase is necessary. The 10-cent pay phone call could become 30-cent payphone. The 30-cent payphone is approved. By Southern, Westell is approved. Southwestern Bell officials say the increase is needed to keep pace with rising operating costs and increasing consumer demand. The request is the largest of its kind ever sought by a public utility in Kansas. If approved, the new rate would double the cost of a local call from a pay phone and There are also problems with the dome that houses the 27-inch telescope. would change some service rates and intrastate long distance rates. Bill Collinson, manager of the Lawrence Southwestern Bell business office, said Tuesday the increase would raise monthly rates for a private lines residence phone by 70 to 85 cents. Monthly rates for a one-party line would increase by $1.70 to $1.80. Collison said he wouldn't know in what ureas or when the rates would be increased Bell Telephone is requesting increases in the priority of the states it serves, said Columbo. Paper overload prompts waste incinerator repair A small incinerator, which has burned everything from unsold basketball tickets to waste from cadavers, had to be repaired this week because it had been overloaded with paper, according to Clarence Knapp, foreman of the power plant. walls had to be repaired occasionally because of overheating. The incinerator, which looks like a mishappled garden shed, is made of cement and wood. Knapp said the incinerator wasn't used as much now as before because newer laboratories have incinerators already installed At one time, waste from cadavers used for classroom study was burned in the incinerator, according to Bob Chovietti, assistant instructor of human anatomy. Knapp said Wednesday that he hadn't seen her since she had been on everything that had been burned later. The incinerator, tucked in the shadow of the smokestack on the southeast corner of campus, is used mainly to destroy refuse from Watkins Hospital and animal remains from various research departments, Knapp said. "It used to be that they'd bring the trash in, then they could," he said. "Now everything is on the counter." Smoke from the incinerator is released through the power plant smokestack, he said, and some days people called to report something was wrong with the power plant. Now, he said, the waste from research projects in Snow Hall is burned in an incinerator which was installed when an early 1960s building was made in the early 1960s. Incinerators provide the most hygienic way to dispose of organic material, he said. Shawl said that in the winter he sometimes walked into the dome and found a secret room. "If the snow got in, that means dirt also gets in and so the optics get dirty," Shawal said. "And it isn't easy to clean the optics." Shawl said the AAL had approximately 40 members, including faculty members, students and Lawrence residents interested in astronomy. The main functions of the AAL are to promote an interest in astronomy and to have the weekly open house. Shaw said 25 people came to the open house each week.

The burglar entered Smith's residence 1008 New Hampshire, by breaking a one-half inch thick basement window with a half-inch wedge wrapped with a towel, according to Smith. He told police the stolen articles were worth about $1,700.
