New shower heads lower water use
By Stephanie Patrick
The University installed energy-saving, low-flow shower heads at all of the eight scholarship halls this summer at the request of hall residents.
KU scholarship halls residents are saving water every time they take a shower.
Kansan staff writer
"They wanted to try them as an environmental issue," said Ken Stoner, director of housing.
"I'm sure they pay for themselves within the first few months," said Wam pole.
Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall was the first hall to have the shower heads installed. Ten shower heads were installed during spring break last semester.
Steve Wampole, director of Grace Pearson Schoolship Hall, said installing the shower heads was part of a larger effort by scholarship halls to save money and the environment.
Each scholarship hall has its own plans for environmental conservation, such as recycling paper and aluminum.
"They (the residents) did notice the difference," Wampole said. "There were a few grumblings at first, but people got used to them."
Stoner said the University spent about $500 to install between 80 and 100 new shower heads this summer in the scholarship halls and to install less than 100 low-flow shower heads in Oliver Hall last semester.
The installation was cost-effective but not a money-saving effort, he said.
He said that the shower heads saved water but that the exact amount of water saved could not be measured because there was no way to determining how long a typical shower took.
"I think it is a conservation effort," Stoner said. "It will save water, and it will save resources, but it does not save money."
Kellie Hogan, who lives in Watkins Scholarship Hall, said the shower heads were better, even if they did not save money.
"It's kind of funny to think you are conserving water," said Hogan, Wichita senior. "The water pressure seems to be more."
House members make trips for free Private interest groups, lobbvists foot bill for U.S. representatives' travel
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—House members in the last Congress took thousands of trips, many to prime resort spots, that were paid for by lobbyists and other private interests, according to a consumer advocacy group.
Rep. Patricia Schroeder, D-Colo, topped the overall list in the report released yesterday by the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen. Rep. Charles Stenholm, D-Texas, took the most trips courtesy of business interests, with 50.
Public Citizen's examination of financial disclosure forms for the 101st Congress, in 1989 and 1990, found private groups paid for 3,984 trips by House members. Some were paid by
colleges and universities, but two-thirds, or 2,636, were paid for by corporations or corporate-sponsored trade associations that lobby Congress on issues affecting their economic interests.
"Many of these trips are nothing more than lobbyist-funded vacations for the nation's lawmakers, a form of legalized bribery," Joan Claybrook, president of Public Citizen, said.
Total value of the travel was not available because Congress did not require its members to report the amount of expenses. But the sponsors payed $4.4 million in honoraria to supplement the travel expenses.
Most frequent destinations for all House members were California, 526 trips, and Florida, 483 trips.
Congress banned honoraria for
House members beginning this year. But Public Citizen representative Bob Dreyfuss said permitting unlimited travel at private expense was a loophole with potential for abuse.
Schroeder, a liberal and chairperson of the Select Committee on Children, Youth and Families, said most of her travel was to unglamorous locations and usually was to meet with students or the public. She called the report "kind of silly" and an attempt to make legitimate travel seem suspect.
Speaker of the House Tom Foley, D-Wash., whose five expense-paid trips included Paris and Japan, said Public Citizen's characterizations of the travel were scurrilous and misleading.
Most frequent destinations for all House members were California, 526 trips, and Florida, 483 trips.
