KU rations June fuel
By JEFF KIOUS Staff Reporter
Although the University of Kansas ran out of gas Tuesday, a final June allocation received yesterday has left the University with no power for most of the day, when fewer shortages are expected.
Staff Reporter
By limiting University vehicles to halt a tank, KU will ration its latest fuel supply until the next one arrives July 3 or 5, Dewey Allaire, associate director of operations, said yesterday. This will not limit maintenance service on campus.
Alaire said that KU's 200 vehicles used an average of 300 gallons of regular and 260 gallons of unleaded gas every day. The University has two gasoline storage tanks, one for regular and one for unleaded.. Each tank holds 1,000 gallons.
vehicles with fuel, Allaire said. Facilities Operations can save the difference for use in emergencies.
"It doesn't take long for 200 vehicles to drain the tanks," he said. "Overall, limiting each vehicle to one half tank would be more convenient than the street灯 we have for the next four or five days."
INSTEAD OF FILLING up all the
KU's fuel supplier, Polk Distributor, will receive 75 percent of last July's贮存, according to Fred Fish, manager of the KU facility in midwest division of Standard Oil Company.
Alaiure said that if KU received the same 12 percent allocation for this July, it would be about $4.7 million.
"I'm expecting 70 percent allocation from my supplier," he said.
With the additional 5 percent, Allaire said, the possibility of a campus shortage is growing.
FISH SAID ALLOCATIONS, including KU's, are based on a certain percentage of last year's allocations. Certain users save larger allocations than others, he said.
"Agricultural producers, police and mass transportation services usually get greater allocations than ordinary fuel users such as KU," Fish said.
The state of Kansas also sets aside 5 percent of all available fuel.
Joe Fishbite, fuel allocation officer for the Kansas Energy Office in Topeka, said the reserved fuel was used in priority allocations for emergencies.
KU is not included in the extra five percent allocation for June, Lyle Goltz, fuel allocation officer for the Kansas Energy Office. said.
"Because of higher fuel demands throughout the state," he said, "all the extra five percent allocation was applied to priority services such as agriculture."
KU WAS ON a list to receive the five percent set aside allocation but a high demand shifted the cut off line so that KU remained longer in the high priority section, he said.
The state allotment for June was 7 million gallons of gasoline and 2.1 million gallons of oil.
Estimates are that by the end of June, Goltz said, the state of Kansas will have used 98 percent of its gasoline allocation and 99 percent of its diesel fuel allocation.
Maintenance increases mileage

EDITOR'S NOTE: Greg Sackvuck, staff reporter, is a mechanic at a local gasoline station. The following story was written for a corporate interests interested in efficient use of gasoline.
The United States is trying to ease the energy crisis by reducing its dependence on the automobile, but motorists are finding this to be hard.
One alternative to reduce dependence on the automobile is to improve its performance so that gas consumption is reduced. The idea is, quite simple, make the engine work more efficiently so that performance will improve.
The most obvious ways of doing this are the well-known maintenance items such as tune-ups or oil changes. But there are smaller, inexpensive ways to do this.
BY SIMPLY loosening a nut, a motorist can check a car's air filter. It sits inside a cannister that fits around the carburetor. The purpose of the filter is to keep dirt out of the carbureter and to control the gas flow properly.
To check the filter, hold a light on the inside of it. If no light comes through the filter, it needs to be replaced. If it is greasy or dusty, the filter also should be replaced.
The amount of gas and money this saves is surprising. An average car will be worth about $20,000.
20 miles a gallon, it uses 600 gallons of gas in that time.
AN AIR FILTER that is 10 percent dirty will reduce the carburetor's efficiency by 10 percent. The car will then burn 10 percent more gas in a year's time.
That 10 percent is equal to 60 gallons of gas. Assuming that gas sells for 80 cents a gallon, the gas use would equal $48. A new air filter only costs about $6.
If the car rolls easier, the engine has less work to do. Therefore, tires should be properly inflated. The proper inflation can prevent the tire from inching on a small car to 28 psi on a larger car.
Check the owner's manual to find out proper tire inflation or ask someone who knows. It may say 32 psi on the side of the tire, but that is a maximum figure. Once the car is moving, the tires will heat up, causing the air pressure to increase. If a driver has an extended short period can cause it to become over-inflated, making it less efficient.
If the car's front end is in alignment, it will roll easier and the ride will improve. This should be done at least once a year, preferably after winter driving. Hitting chuckholes can knock the front end out of alignment.
An alignment can be done for $10 to $15,
on sale.
IF THE CAR'S cooling system is not working properly, the engine will overheat
and not function efficiently. The car's thermostat, which controls the flow of water through the engine, should be replaced at least two years.
The thermostat can be checked after the engine is warm. If water is circulating in the radiator, the thermostat is working correctly; still, the thermostat may be defective.
A common misconception is that anti-freeze is to be used only in the winter to keep water from freezing in the engine. The opposite is that anti-freeze inhibitor. In the summer, anti-freeze added to the radiator will keep the engine cooler than just water and will also prevent rust and corrosion. Rust and rust causes of bad thermostats and radiators.
LOOSE AND WORN fan belts also will make the engine work harder. They can ruin the battery and make power steering and air conditioning units ineffective.
A defective exhaust system also can reduce gas mileage.
If the exhaust system is rusted or not suspended from the car frame properly, the car also will be noise. It is important to have the correct exhaust system on a car.
All of these jobs are normal maintenance that an automobile requires. Some of them can be done by the owner. The other, in most cases, must be performed for themselves in improved gas mileage.
"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?" Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25
Past articles in this column have dealt with how Abraham, Friend of God, was the means of delivering some of his kinshift out of Sodom just before the judgment of God, like fire and the destruction of their inhabitants. Sins of sex education was one of the great causes of the terrible judgment. The account of these things is not very clear, but it seems that the need to take heed to the warning, being plagued with sex obsession sins and in danger of the curse of God following up with them is the course of THE LORD HATH SPOKEN IT" against such corruptions.
The writer has never been in the city of Detroit but once, back in the 1920s. He saw some of the great stigmas produced by the science of engineering, etc., but they have just about faded out of memory. However, a new item he saw in the library was the book *Anatomy of Retirement*. Refreshing: A young man and his sweetheart, engaged to marry, were surprised by some dill with a gun, a rapist. After disposing of the man, he demanded the girl submit to marriage. But she refused. But she kept her God-given virtue: "HER CHASTITY WAS
IMPREGNABLE* Don't recall what disposition was made of her litence, but if I had been me I trust I would have chosen to die before the devil could touch the girl And if I had been him, I should not choose this choice as she did, and back to God resigned the death.
"BLESSED ARE THEY THAT DO HIS COMMANDMENTS,
"THEY MAY HAVE A RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE,
AND MAY ENTER IN THROUGH THE GATES INTO THE
TREE OF WORLD," THEY SAY. WHO WERE WHOREMENERS AND MURDERERS, AND IDOLATORS,
AND WHOSE OVER LOVETH AND MAKETH A LIE, JESUS HAVE sent MY ANGEL TO TESTIFY UNTO YOU THE THINGS IN THE CHURCHES "—Revelation 21:14-16 (Did
he Bible says "covenessality is dolity" – Are you stingy?)
"CHRIST IS THE ANSWER" to the sex problem But do we have the sort of Christianity that makes virtue and chastity impregnable? It is obtainable "by grace through faith." Should we not take heed and be wretled be it of our "us: if U' should BE MORE TOLEMABLE FOR SODOM AND GOMORAM IN THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT, THAN FOR TREE!
