Prof says conserving means increase Energy cutbacks may raise utility prices
By DEBORAH BAER Staff Reporter
Though Board of Regents institutions are trying to conserve energy to save money, one professor says he thinks the university will raise the price of those utilities
Emporia State University and Fort Hays State University have shut down several buildings for five days between the fall and spring semester since 1979.
The University of Kansas also is likely to close many buildings during the holiday season.
All this is being done in an effort to save on utility bills, administrators say.
But John Watson, president of the faculty at Fort Hays State, says he thinks that conserving utilities will not be as much money as others think it will.
"WHAT DO the energy companies do if there is a savings?" he asked his Poker meeting of the Regents (faculty) on Friday. "They raise the rates."
An official at the Kansas Power and Light Co. office in Lawrence said his plant served two Regents schools—KU and Washburn University. It also serves Washburn University.
"If the University used less electricity, it doesn't mean the rates would have to go up." said Fred Bryan, KP&L division manager.
He said the University was billed in two ways. One concerns how much electricity is used, and one is based on how much is used in the half-hour in the day. The amount of energy is used. This peak half-hour helps determine the rate, he said.
And KU is working to reduce that peak period. he said.
BRYAN SAID his company would file with the Kansas Legislature for a rate change in January 1983. But the plans to file were not based on the University's efforts to conserve energy, he said.
He said that even if KU and K-State saved a substantial amount, the rates would not have to be increased if the
company gained enough other customers to make up the difference
"They're only two customers," he said.
James Seaver, KU Faculty Senate chairman, said the University was considering changing the school calendar to attempt to save money on utilities.
HE SAID University administrators were considering beginning the fall semester later to save on air conditioning bills.
The other faculty presidents questioned whether a change to a later starting date would mean that the semester would be shortened or that exams for fall semester courses would be given after winter recess.
Watson said he would be against changing the school calendar if it wasn't in his area.
If Regents schools had shorter semesters, the students would not have an academic edge over students from other schools; we have class days in the semester. he said.
THE FACULTY presidents said the semester at the Regents schools had
been shortened from 80 to 75 days in the last 12 years.
Richard Gallagher, faculty president-elect at K-State, said that though he was not a proponent of the idea, longer class periods might be a solution if the semester was to be shortened.
"You could reduce the days and still maintain the contact with the student,"
But others said students still would be at a disadvantage.
"THEY DON'T have the length of water to absorb the material," said Watson.
Seaver agreed. He compared the problem of a short semester to that of students who take summer school eight weeks, or fall semester is 15 weeks.
"In the summer, even though you double the class hours, you aren't able to double the hours in the day for the work that you need to do." Seaver said.
