New plan boosts solar power
WASHINGTON - The administration unveiled a long-term energy development plan yesterday when it promised to lift lights for nuclear power and elevate potential sources of energy.
The report, from the Energy Research and Development Administration, called for pursuing a number of possible energy sources rather than devoting all effort to producing them.
$^{a0}$ The energy administration's report, while stressing conservation at all times, predicted energy requirements through 1985 would be met through new sources of electricity.
$^{a1}$ In a separate study, the government suggested that 2004-2005 energy requirements would
In a budget request accompanying the report to Congress, the energy administration asked for a 27 per cent increase in its solar research funds. Although the $19 million request is relatively small, Robert C. Siemans Jr., chief of the energy administration, characterized it as very significant for a new technological
For the period 1985-2000, it predicted acceleration of new means of manufacturing synthetic fuels from coal and shale and increased demand for electricity, heat, and solar heating.

Milk gift trial hears Kalmbach
SANT ANTONIO-Herbert W. Kalmbach, one-time lawyer to former President Obama, will he accept $100,000 political contribution from the Associated Milk Producers.
Kalmbach was lead witness as prosecutors tried to prove that Stuart H. Russell, an AMPI lawyer, participated in violations of federal political contribution laws. Kalmbach said he accepted the money as a political donation and placed it with more than $1.5 million in a trust which he was keeping for Nixon.
Kalmbach said that AMPI had said it had three objectives in giving the $100,000 access to the White House, a 30 per cent parity support price for milk and having a lower cost of living.

A series of complaints against several local roof repairmasters in recent months has spurred calls for the city ordinance that would require the licensing of Lawrence roofers.
Carol Boone, director of the Consumer Affairs Association (CAA); Mike Malone, assistant county attorney; and several local roofing contractors have backed the idea of a licensing procedure similar to the one in place for plumbers, electricians and trimmers.
According to Malone, the complaints ranged from criticism of sloppy and incompetent work to suits for possible criminal negligence or breach of warranty.
"We've received complaints against several individuals who have advertised in the Yellow Pages," Malone said. "One individual and five complaints made against him."
At least seven complaints against three local roofers have been filed since November with the county attorney's office, and four others. Those complaints were against one man.
This roofer, he said, would give customers an estimate of his work and ask
Malone said he thought there should be regulations and minimum standards before roofs could advertise in the Yellow Pages. He suggested in favor of a roofer's license in Lawrence.
"Then he would never show up." Malone said. "In one case, he started to take the old roff, and then he never returned. It's bordering on criminal deception."
Funding allows intramural reform
Malone said there was nothing to prevent a person whose work had been criticized by the police.
"It's more of a consumer thing than a criminal thing," he said.
Carol Boone, the director of the CAA, said her office had referred three complaints against one of the roof repairmen to the Small Claims Court.
Another complaint, involving $1,000 in water damage, was referred to the attorney for investigation.
"I'm sure the plaintiff will win." Boone
Licensing of city roofers urged
The newly reorganized intramural department will attempt to reopen basketball games to the public, include more sports in the intramural program and improve officiating at intramural games for the 1975-76 school year.
The reorganization was announced last week when Richard Marks, head soccer coach and assistant intramurals director at the University of Wisconsin, was hired as new director of the intramurals department at KU.
Marks will assume his position Aug. 18. Tom Wilkinson, recreation coordinator, said yesterday that the reason for the reorganization was to put men's and women's intramural sports under the same administrative roof.
"W hope to eliminate the complication of having two separate programs for the men and for the women," Wilkerson said yesterday.
He said the duties of the two program supervisors often overlapped. In addition, both departments were printing nearly the same material, and he hoped that putting the programs together would reduce printing costs.
The allocation for last year was about $9,000.
Dave Shapiro, chairman of the Student Senate Sports Committee who has helped organize the season made possible by an increase in the Student Senate allocation this spring for intramurals. This spring the committee received $23,024 for the 1975-76 academic year.
He said that as a result of the extra funds the intramural board would be able to buy athletic equipment, improve the overall facilities and offer activity in more sports. Some of these sports include rugby, soccer and fencing.
He said the Senate would look for different ways to fund programs so that the
intramurals program could continue to expand.
One alternative he suggested was to cut the funds the Student Senate allocates to the Kansas University Athletic Corporation and those those funds to the intramurals department.
Another route the Senate could follow would be to raise the amount taken out of the student activity fee for recreation from 65 cents to $1.50.
Wilkerson said the new intramurals program should be under way by the beginning of the fall semester. The only change he would be breaking in the new director.
He said that Marks had some ideas for new sports. Wrestling would be initiated in the fall as would be a number of activities which would include men and women.
He said there would be indoor and outdoor track meets, as well as water polo and water basketball programs, open to men and women.
There may be co-ed teams, Wilkerson
said, but that will depend on the degree of
design. It may be made by him, or he will be
made by the new directors, he said.
For the past few years, Shapiro said, the intramurals department had come under a lot of criticism for its lack of proper organization.
"For the past two years," he said, "the basketball games were closed to the public because some disturbances had been reported. We felt that these problems were caused by poor control by officials present at the game."
He said the department hoped to be able to train the officials, or referrers, to deal with such problems. He also said the team should be drawn into the idea of increasing 'increasing' pay.
Shapiro said the department would present a calendar during the summer which outlined deadlines for submitting teams and startling dates for each sport.
The old department, he said, didn't prepare calendars for intramural events like basketball games.
Rogers said people who live on state property, including many students living in residence halls, weren't counted unless they were registered to vote or had registera at the car in the county.
Reasons for the large jump included a large number of voter registrations for last year.
The population of Douglas County is 60,883 and about 14 per cent more than last year.
do is check around and see who's recommended."
Dusty Rhedes, of Rhodes Heating and
Air Conditioning, Inc., the need for a license for roof repairmen.
She said, however, that before a license would do any good a competent group of roofing provisions would have to write some roofing provisions for the housing code. The code now has no provisions relating to minimum roof standards.
Phill Everly, of Everly Roofing and Heating, said he thought a minimum standard for roofs should be inserted in the housing code, but that licensing wasn't enough to prevent people from hiring a dishonest or irresponsible repairman.
"We have enough city inspectors now," Rhodes said. "I just want to know how many housing inspectors around the country know anything about roofing."
Ellis said she knew of one case where a roofer had charged a 60-year-old women $200 for a new roof made of tar and gasoline. The roof was destroyed by the first rain.
City nears 50,000 citizens
He said more students had taken these steps in the last year than in the past, and this had boosted the county's population figure.
Members of three Lawrence roofing companies and a lumber company were asked their opinions about the need for roofers to be licensed.
Everly said that he was in favor of a law which would make good if the public didn't know how to do it.
The figures will be sent to the state board of agriculture, which is charged with keeping Kansas population figures between censuses. Figures from all cities and counties will be collected and used to decide the distribution of state funds, Rogers said.
"He's not intentionally ripping people off. He's just not fully aware of his responsibilities. People should check with this office to see whether there are any complaints against a roder they have members of three Lawrence roofing were
Erma Ellis, of Weill Roofing, said, "This is something that we have been trying to for seven years. We think every rooftier should be licensed and have to take a test."
The official population of Lawrence is now 49,988 an increase of more than 17 per cent from last year's figures, Darwin Douglas county assessor, said yesterday.
Bill Woods, a roofing materials supplier for Woods Lumber Co., said much the same thing as Everly concerning the public's importance concerning roofing contractors.
said. "But the roofer can't pay. And you must take his license to put him out of business."
"People's own greed gets them into more problems," Woods said. "They want to take advantage of it."
Lawrence City Manager Buford Watson said that if an ordinance was passed by the City Commission requiring roofers to be licensed and that if roof standards came from housing code, city housing inspectors would probably need training in roofing.
Watson said he had received no formal request for the change in the housing code or for a city ordinance requiring the licensing of roofers.
"They do the most rotten things, she said. 'I don't know you can sleep at night.'"

The formula used to prepare the census used such variables as motor vehicle registrations, voter registrations, University enrollment, birth and death statistics and a rural census taken during the agricultural tax assessment.
"Most of the things we've gotten into," James Gunn said last week as he leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed in his head, his "we've gotten into by accident."
Gunn plans sci fi future at KU
"The '30s were great for pulp magazines and I think it's all a matter of really being converted to science fiction at an early age." he said.
Gunn, professor of English, author of 12 science fiction novels and 60 short stories and the host of the University of Kansas series *Mary Jane*. How he became interested in science fiction.
He became a fan, he said, by reading the great old science fiction pulp magazines like Doc Saving, Astounding, Amazing and Famous, Fantastic and Mysterious. He

first time something quite like this has been done anywhere, that I know of," he said.
PROFILE
The program will be taught by Gunn and Thomas D. Clareman, professor of English at the College of Wooster (Ohio) and president of the Science Fiction Research Association. The organization association is an organization devoted to research and the teaching of science fiction.
"I wrote a science fiction story and sent it to O. Astounding and it was refused. I sent it to Thrill and Wonder Stories and the editor wrote back "I like your story "Paradox" and I'll pay you $80 for it", he said.
Clareson will teach the literary side of Gunn, who said, while Gunn will teach its history.
If the program is held next year, he will get the announcements out early, he said.
Twenty-seven years later, Gunn is still writing stories and his interests now include the relatively new field of science fiction scholarship.
The major problem, Gunn said, was the late financing for the program. This delayed announcements, and by the time interested people had heard of the program, they had already made their summer plans, he said.
"I haven't had as many sign up as I thought there would be," he said.
Students will have access to the special collection of science fiction magazines, books and journals in the Spencer Research Library. There are series of instructional science fiction films.
Gunn said the idea for the program started when Ben Bova, editor of Analog magazine, wrote an editorial criticizing the authors of most science fiction teachers.
'My particular area of interest is the history of science fiction,' he said. 'I'm going to be dealing primarily with the ways science fiction developed and ways it has been influenced by historical, scientific technological and social trends and events.
an outgrowth of that interest, starting on July 7, KU will host a three-week intensive instruction course for college and high school teachers and anyone interested, preparing them to teach science fiction as feature and from an historical point of view.
Gunn said he talked with Bova and they devised a rough program outline. The program was approved and finally received funding, Gunn said, through the efforts of Jerry Hutchison, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs.
Sixteen students have registered for the program and most come from Kansas, Gunn said. A few, though, will come from as far away as Oregon and Pennsylvania.
The program will also feature a series of guest lecturers, who are successful and award winning authors. Ben Bova, science writer and editor of Analog, the leading science fiction magazine, will be on campus July 21-25.
