about south to Burlington tomorrow
where they will join a group of nuclear
reactors and nuclear generators
site Saturday afternoon.
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 Pomona Lake. A van will follow them on the trail for five days and provide resting space for wery bicyclists.
"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 carrides 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 a free food station in the paraphernalia, such as T-shirts and buttons.
The rally will begin with Lawrence
resident Peegy Hilman singing her own compositions, followed by singer Danny Cox.
Jeanne Green, a Salina resident former of Lawrence, and Patt 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.
"THIS ISN'T GOING to be an anti-type event," she said. "We want to discuss feasible solutions to the energy problem. Of course, we'll talk about Wolf Creek. too."
Tolar said the rally would discuss alternate energy sources as well as nuclear power.
"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.
The price of uranium fuel had gone up tenfold since the plant was been he, said
Saturday's rally will be held in cooperation with law enforcement officials around Burlington. The Sunflower Alliance 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 involved a group of generator's arrival at the Wolf Creek plant.

Furniture, dirt disputes at Jayhawker Towers go on
By MARY JO HOWARD
Staff Reporter
Differing interpretations of a designation on the Jayhawker Towers' rental agreement and unclean apartments continue to bring complaints from KU students.
When tenants signed their leases, they would have to take the apartment. They would have to take the
Barbara Fendley, Towers manager, said this week that the "F2" and "F4" are preferences indicating that the tenants prefer a large apartment or smaller persons. This helps her assign apartments.
The ambiguity in the agreement concerns the presence of an "F"2" or "F"4" written in a blank on the document after "furniture." Tenants say they expect to receive furniture and 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 adds for the apartment manager and are not legally binding.
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 Covalt, Russell junior, said she experienced a similar problem.
Towers, 1603 W. 18th St., this summer,
furnished or unfurnished for $200.
Fendley said she did not specifically remember Covalt signaling a lease, but said she gave each prospective tenant the same information about the apartments. Another spokesman for the Towers also said that the designations were legally meaningless.
According to a legal representative for the Towers, John Brand, the designations only reference. The students should have been trained and demailed if they did not understand it, he said.
"Obviously when you write a letter and a number, it's just a reference." Reed said.
HOWEVER, DARYL. Stone, public relations director for the Consumer Affairs Association, does not agree that the designation is merely a reference.
"I think it's reasonable to conclude that it means they were going to get furniture."
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 shame." Mr. Zucker said his fair to save the people have been misled.
A LEGAL representative at the Consumer Affairs Association said that the tenants involved could possibly get out of their contracts by citing unconsciability.
"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-Tenant Act," he said.
But Brand said that the unconscionability clause could not be applied to these cases because unconscionability means that the plaintiffs have a right to the parties that a court would refuse to
artes that a court would refuse it them.
IN ADDITION to the F-2 and F-4 designations resulting in furniture problems, Hale said her apartment was filly when she moved in. Other tenants reported similar problems to Consumer Affairs.
Fendley said that each apartment was cleaned.
"Each apartment is gone through by myself or an assistant," she said. "We don't have to deal with it."
Hale said her apartment hadn't been vacuumed and that food was caked on the
"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 duplicate copies of the report. Hale said that
"They wouldn't even give us a copy of the inventory sheet." Flae said.
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.

This spring this baby Harp Seal and others like him could be dead — clubbed to death by northern hunters. It only takes a few short weeks to slaughter most of the baby seals that will be born this year. And in no time at all another marvelous animal species will be decimated.
From "The Life of the Harp Seal," by Fred Bruemmer, published by Optimum Publishers, Ltd., Montreal
Greenpeace Foundation has a plan to save the seals. Our members will endeavor to reach the Newfoundland ice floes in order to place themselves between the seals and the hunters.

We need your contributions to help save as many seals as possible. Because when the money runs out, Greenpeace must leave the ice floes. And the seals will face the hunters alone.

"When I did work enrollment it was always 'hi, how was your summer'—kind of a nice social thing," Marquis said. "With a computer, you do away with all of that."
But Student Senator Ed Bigus disagrees.
Bigus, also a member of the pre-enrollment committee, said pre-enrollment might be an incentive for students to choose KU.
"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, student body president gave a contrasting student view. She said that most students do not realize what preenlment would mean to them financially.
