Three members' terms to end
Carlin to appoint four Regents
Bv DIRK MILLER
Staff Reporter
Four appointments to the Kansas Board of Regents will be considered by Gov. John Carlin this month, because three members' terms will expire and a spot left open by Regent Jim Dumas's resignation needs to be filled.
The three Regents four-year terms will expire are Margaret Glades of Yates Center, Glee Smith Jr. of, and Sandra McMullen of Hutchinson.
Mike Swenson, Carlin's press secretary, said the governor would not reveal the names of nominees for the race. Carlin might reappoint the same people.
Swenson said Carlin was satisfied with the three, but since the positions were open he would consider all possibilities.
JAMES PICKERT, Regents chairman, said all three of the members
were excellent people, but he did not
know whether any of
them would be relevant.
Smith, McMullen and Glades said that they were pleased with the performance of the Regents and that they were well prepared with the Legislature and with Carlin.
"I think we've tried to work together," said Glades. "We certainly don't want higher education to suffer any more than it has to."
McMullen said, "I think we've gotten ourselves in the position of being able to
"I felt that the Regents and the
offerses certainly made every effort
to ensure I was successful."
SMITH SAID the Board of Regents was almost a fourth branch of government, somewhat independent of the Legislature and the governor.
But in these times of fiscal problems, said Smith, the Regents have worked to ensure that
Student senators at the University of Kansas are supporting Steve Leben, the 1978 KU student body president, for one of the Regents positions.
Swenson said Carlin would not be opposed to a recent graduate serving on the Regents board.
"THE APPROVAL of the positions will be made around the first of the year," he said.
Smith has spent the last 25 years working with state education. He served for 16 years on the Kansas Committee before becoming a Regent.
McMullen and Glades, both ending their first terms as a Regents, said that if Carlin nominated them for respawning they would consider staying on the board.
Trial dates set for McMurry, Ruley
Two KU students will be tried in separate trials in Douglas County District Court Jan. 10, a District Court judge said Friday.
Judge Ralph M. King set the Jan. 10 trial date for Kee McMurry, former director of the KU on Wheels bus program, who has been charged with five counts of theft in connection with theft of $0,425 from bus system funds.
McMurry, Lawrence special student,
was arrested by KU police Sept. 15 after David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, started an investigation of the bus system. McMurry was charged for thefts over the last two years.
Mc Murray was director of KU on wheels since 1974. He is free on $6,000 a week.
THE DISTRICT attorney's office contends that McMurray used a Student Loan to pay for the house.
by students for bus passes and deposit them in his account.
The other student, Michael Stephen Ruley, Prairie Village special student, will be tried on charges of burglary, grand theft, criminal damage and concealed weapon in connection with the sale of a Lawrence sport goods store.
Riley was charged with the Oct. 16, 2014 break-in at Francis Sporting Goods in Boca Raton.
Library's tattle-tape mystery solved
The case of the tattle-tape pranks has been settled, KU library officials said Friday.
Kendall Simmons, circulation librarian, said a settlement was reached last week for $1 in damages occurred between Oct 31 and Nov. 19.
The pranks, which had plagued the library for at least four weeks, involved dozens of incidents in books were stolen or mutilated to gain
access to the "tattle tape," a strip placed in the binding to trigger an alarm if unchecked books were taken from the building.
The tapes were being placed in knapsacks or textbooks, setting off the alarm when the unsuspecting person tried to leave the building.
"THEY WERE wasting our time." Simmons said.
Library officials had originally filed a complaint with KU police Nov. 19
involving $144 worth of lost or damaged books. However, $33 worth of those books were returned after the complaint was filed, Simmons said.
"We're happy to see it stop," said Robert Malinowski, associate dean of libraries. "I think we've seen the last of this — I hope so, anyway."
Simmons said the settlement was the result of discussions with the responsible parties, whom she declined to name.
Gas prices continue to decline
By United Press International
LOS ANGELES—Gas prices have fallen nearly a penny a gallon in the past two weeks in a continuing decline spurred by a drop in annual fuel use approaching 15 billion gallons this year, an industry analyst said yesterday.
"A price decline that began shortly after the Fourth of July weekend has continued up to present time," said Dan Lundberg, who surveys thousands of service stations nationwide for his biweekly industry report.
The price for a gallon of gas,
including all taxes, now is averaging
$1.23.68, compared to $1.29.43 in July,
Lundberg said.
He attributed the fall in prices to increased auto efficiency, greater conservation and "a strong measure of austerity" on the part of consumers.
He projected gas consumption in the United States this year would be 15 billion gallons, compared with the record five million in 1970, before dramatic price increases.
HE SAID the Dec. 19 meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in Vienna, Austria, would be critical to the price picture.
"If the OPEC nations fail to restrain some of their excess production, this means they will not be able to hold their existing prices firm." Lundberg said.
Referring to the nickel-a-gallon increase in the gas tax being conducted by the state, "if OPEC nations cannot restrain their excess production, I could see by next
May perhaps that 5 cents would be obliterated - continued decline in API pricing.
Lundberg said that in the past two weeks, the average price of gasoline at several stations was $3.29.
1. 19 cents for regular leaded glass to an average price of $1.14.14.
- 1.12 cents for regular unleaded, to
$1.21.28.
- 84 cent for premium unleased, to
  $1.32.60.
