Bicycle riders join nuclear protest rally
About 15 bicycle riders from Lawrence will ride south to Burlington tomorrow where they will join a group of nuclear power plant workers and nuclear generator site Saturday afterparto.
The bikers, among them City Commissioner Marci Francisco, will leave Lawrence in two groups at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Friday and will camp overnight at the Marci Francisco shelter for 8-10 mile trek to carry food and drinks and provide resting space for weary cyclists.
"The ride will be a good demonstration of an efficient low energy alternative," said Mike Almon, who will participate in the bike trip.
Radioactive-free Kansas, a local group opposed to the plant at Wolf Creek, will sponsor the riders, who will join the 3,000 people expected at a rally near the plant.
At least 50 Lawrence residents will share car ride to Burlington Saturday morning, Dee Tolar, a representative of the group, said.
THE RALLY IS sponsored from noon to 4 p.m. by the Sunflower Alliance two miles north of Burlington at John Redmond Reservoir on the west side of U.S. Highway 75. Concession stands will be set up, as well as t-shirts and buttons. The paraphernalia, such as T-shirts and buttons.
The rally will begin with Lawrence
resident Peggy Hilman singing her own compositions, followed by singer Danny Cox
Jeanne Green, a Salina resident formerly of Lawrence, and Pat Sick, a KU graduate student, will speak at the rally, as well as representatives from the National Organization for Women and the Mid-America Coalition of Energy Alternatives.
Tolar said the rally would discuss alternate energy sources as well as nuclear power.
The price of uranium fuel had gone up tenfold since the plant was been he, said.
"THIS ISN'T GOING to an ant-type event," she said. "We want to discuss feasible solutions to the energy problem. Of course, we'll talk about Wolf Creek. too."
"The power plant's argument right now is that they've spent so much money on the project they can't stop." Al Nelson, another member of Radioactive-free Kansas, said.
Saturday's rally will be held in cooperation with law enforcement officials around Burlington. The Sunflower Alliance said it was of about 70 "peacekeepers" for the rally.
Tolar said no civil disobedience was planned for the rally, unlike the demonstration in Burlington last January, which was organized by the generator's arrival at the Wolf Creek plant.

Furniture, dirt disputes at Jayhawker Towers go on
Staff Reporter
Differing interpretations of a designation on the Jayhawker Towers' rental agreement and unclean apartments continue to bring complaints from KU students.
The ambiguity in the agreement concerns the presence of an 'a' "F2" or "F4" written in a blank on the document after "furniture." Tenants say they expected to receive furniture without a lease and thought the designations legally bound the Towers in providing furniture for two or four persons. But the Towers management said the designations were only reference aids for the apartment owner's manager and are not legally binding.
Barbara Fendley, Towers manager, said this week that the 'F2' and 'F4' are preferences indicating that the tenants need to be able to work with persons. This helps her assign apartments.
HOWEVER, CONNIE Hale, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student, said yesterday that she was not told about the possibilities of not receiving a furnished apartment when she signed her lease. Ann Cavitt, Russell junior, said she experienced a similar problem.
When tenants signed theirLEASE, they were told they would have to take the lease and move.
Fendley said she did not specifically remember Covall signaling a lease, but she gave each prospective tenant the same information about the apartments. Another spokesman for the Towers also said that the destinations were legally meaningless.
According to a legal representative for the Towers, John Brand, the designations are only references. The students should have not been deminified if they did not understand it, he said.
"Obviously when you write a letter and a number, it's just a reference." Brandon said.
"I think it's reasonable to conclude that it means they were going to join 'girlfriends'."
HOWEVER, DARYL. Stone, public relations director for the Consumer Affairs Association, does not agree that the designation is merely a reference.
on the lease, most people would conclude that they're going to get furniture."
The Consumer Affairs Association has had several complaints about the Towers, Stone said, but he did not think it was the Towers' intention to defraud.
"Somehow, somewhere, people got the impression that they get furniture," he said. "It's not really a big thing but it's a real difference." The couple's fair to say the people have been rushed.
"If there's some kind of pressure applied, or if someone has never rented an apartment before and they're given any misrepresentation, it's possible that they could break their agreement under the Kansas Landlord-Tennant Act," he said.
A LEGAL representative at the Consumer Affairs Association said that the tenants involved could possibly get out of their contracts by citing unconscionability.
But Brand said that the unconsciousability clause could not be applied to these cases because unconsciousness means that the terms of a contract are so unfair toward one another.

them.
"Each apartment is gone through by myself or an assistant," she said. "We choose to stay."
Hale said her apartment hadn't been vacuumed and that food was caked on the stove.
"This wasn't the kind of dirt that you come in and dump. It was 'use' dirt," Hale
Although Kansas law requires that the tenant and landlord jointly inspect an apartment, take inventory and make sure all the report, Hale said that this was not done.
Karen McKinney, agent for Lawrence Property Management, which manages the Towers, said that Hale had been given an inventory sheet, but had not turned it in.
"They wouldn't even give us a copy of the inventory sheet." Hale said.

e saved the universe in *Star Wars* and just a few minutes ago on this Burbank Studios' western street where the climactic scene of a movie called *The Fringe Aid* is being shot—he'd rescued a Polish rabbit from a dastardly Wild West villain. Yet Harrison Ford now sits slumped and slightly grimacing in his Harrison Ford canvas chair, acting a little surprised and disgruntled that another journalist wants another damn interview.
Such recorded-for-the-world tete-a-tetes, the actor tells the writer and the picture's publicist, generally consist of the same old questions and the same old answers; what's more, they often result in his being misquoted or quoted out of context. To avoid part of the former problem, Ford reveals, he sometimes . . . hm . . . makes things up.
"I told one writer that my parents were Rumanian mudgets. He took me seriously and it out printed. It didn't go over with my mother."
gpr printers. It can go everywhere you want it to go.
You must to watch a group of extras stampede toward an alley between "1ine"
Palace Hotel" and "Mom's Restaurant," where chili and coffee are being served, then he adds a more pointed, personal objection to articles about him. "Just because you're in a movie, everything you say is quotable—and that's insane. People must be dishused of the notion that the meat we like is worth of so much interest."
Right then, as if on cue, a man apprehaches and introduces his 11-year-old son, who wants an autograph. The boy hides under the table and eyes and stammer that he's seen *Star Wars* a dozen times. Fond is dressed up in 1870ish San Francisco-dude clothes but the kid probably doesn't notice them at all. The girl's face is surely realizes that, it's but fine with him.
A few days later, in Musso & Frank's A little Hollywood Boulevard, he's playing the part of an unenthusiastic interviewer even more convincingly. Seared with the jour naisist and the publicist at a table in the middle of the noisy bakery, he frowns into the menu, looking all the more menacing with a few days growth of beard, chosen from his closet. "This slips the menu down and grumbles," all right, let's give it over with."
However, Ford turns out to be not quite so sullen as this opening remark augurs. Fortified by a few sips from his Bloody Mary, he becomes polite and friendly enough for the next forty minutes. Just not very . . . forthcoming. Worse, and completely at odds with his intense perma on screen, he talks in a slow methodical monotone that, after fifteen minutes, gives him even a speeding Nissan fat for a sleep.
"Then I should get your autograph." He rises from his star-chair and has the kid sit in it. He goes on his knees for a second and asks, "Can I shine your shoes or anything?" He's kidding around, but seems truly grateful to this representative of those millions who've named his name a household (or playground) word (lot of them) like "Mr. Doe." He'd parody the old humble-star act that doesn't even escape the boy. Harrison Ford plays the role well, and with conviction.
Why was his role in Heaven that picture's only intriguing quality?
"I don't ever know why a part works or doesn't work in any given case. But ... it was because that character only had a lifespan of about 20 minutes. In a character moving by quickly, an actor isn't obligated to have all the answers, the way he is if he has a larger part, you just must go to for what works, and not feel that you have to make things work."
Ford's food comes, a splatter of noodles and yellowish sauce on a white plate. He regards it disdainfully. "Not exaltat what I thought it was gonna be. This is Special!" he coats the offering with a layer of pepper and braises digs in. The coverage resumes, and *The Friso Kid* is brought up. The Robert Aldrich-directed film is the story of a rabbit who emigrates from Poland to America's Wild West. Gene Wilder plays the rabbi, whose comedic misadventures include involvement with a bank robber; played by Ford.
Would his next project, a sequel to Star Wars which called the *Empire Strikes Back*, put him in danger of being forever typecast as Han Solo in most moviemakers?
"Not with all the work I've been doing in between." Indeed, since Star Wars, Ford has appeared in *Henry, Force 10* from *Nassauan, Hammerset Street* and the *Frieson Kids*. Piaa a small part in *Apeutapiwi Niu*, which he spent three days shooting. "I mean, that why I was going to be shooting," she said. "I want to be a star wars fan. Which star wars has generated. I think it is critical, or I will not be exercising the potential of the situation. I figure I was real lucky to be in a real successful film and I spent 15 years before that, struggling. Now I'm able to go to work and I couldn't be
Does he have any thoughts about why Star Wars was so popular?
HARRISON FORD:
A Man of Few Words
"It is as realistic a presentation of a Jew in the Old West as you'll ever see," claims Ford
"But suddenly you are obliged to make the kind of career decisions you've never had to make before. Where before you could say, 'This is good,' or 'This is something I'm not gonna make,' and now you . . . oh, forget it. I can explain it. All of a sudden you've got to be a success, that's what I mean."
"If I did, I'd be smart enough to keep my mouth shout . . . I think people went to it 'cause it's an entertainment and the good guys win and the bad guys lose. It's your standard mythology in an exciting technological context—to reduce it to its most boring terms."
"Old West well it's never beet you," didn’t buddy up with me, just a history lesson. It’s fun. It doesn’t matter on sex and violence—though it does have a little sex and violence, for those of you who like sex and violence. I know there are some people who do. And Wil and Aldrich are to great work with Wil’d her a very funny man."
"No. Can't say I am. Never have been.
Find it to be an embarrassment at times,
not to know what's going on around me.
Sometimes it's useful to be that way, but
I don't want to."
There was a silent movie actor also named Harrison Ford who was fairly well known in the early Twenties. Had that caused any particular problems or confusions?
in Law and Getting Straight. Subsequently, he appeared in several TV series, including Gunnakem, Inimides and the Virginian. But the big break looked like it was never going to come. After a role in Zedhair Paint, Ford decided to concentrate on carpentry until his career took off. He later directed a movie for Lucas who was looking for unknown actors to play in "American Grafitti". His casting director, Fred Roos, knew of Ford and gave him the part of the "coywolf" streetracer who challenged Paul LeMat. Francis Ford Coppola then cast him as Robert Duval's son.
"Yeah," he drawled, Ford's speech is slowing down even more, and at least he is still talking. There is a fear in the journalist's mind that that mouth might come to a complete standstill at any time. "I didn't realize there was one until I went up for the Screen, Actors Gauld. I'd up for the Screen, Actors Gauld. I'd up for the Screen, Actors Gauld." Ford then
Right then Ford *does* stop speaking, takes a bite of his Special, chews, looks around the room.
In 1964 he moved to Laguna Beach, California, and appeared at the Playhouse there in a production of John Brown's Body. This resulted in his being signed to Culinary Upham pictures' new talent program *Halloween*. He starred in a Merry Go-Round, followed by hit parts
Though Ford hasn't been afforded the kind of praise someone like Robert DeNiro gets, he reportedly devotes much the same sort of preparation and concentration to his work. The New York Times reports that
Som of an Irish Catholic father and a German Jewish mother, Ford, without the middle "J" was born in Chicago on July 19, 1872. He studied at a leader and a "rather unenlightened" childhood. He studied philosophy and English at Ripon College, in central Wisconsin. He began acting professionally in summer 1904, where he became a community on the shores of Lake Geneva.
"Uh, what," prompts the journalist,
"did you do about that?"
Another bite. Another look around the room, "Oh. I had to create a middle initial." And what was that? "I" . Oh.
"For our picture he's become about as close to being a real cowboy as anyone can. The wranglers [the crew/actors who teach other actors how to ride and act like cowboys] are a tight bunch, hard to get close to or please, but they've totally accepted Harrison."
Back in Music @ Frank's, Ford was asked to reflute a little about *Hammer Street*, which he'd done just before the *Prince Fake* ed. "It's a World War II love story. Lots of colding music."
"How come?" I would like to . . . Just forget I said that. Strike it. Pretend I never

"Or there could be a loss if we keep this same antique way of doing things. I think the administration needs to take this seriously."
AS FOR student support, Bigus said that in a petition he presented to students in Allen Field House last fall during enrolment, he received signatures from every student that passed him-1,000 to 1,500 of them.
Also, he said, it was evident that there was faculty support because the assembly that recommended the proposal was made up primarily of faculty members.
Margaret Berlin, body president gave a contrasting student view. She said that most students do not realize what preenrollment would mean to their financially.
