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 researchers to create a nuclear generator site Saturday afternoon.
The bikers, among them City Commissioner Marci Francis, will leave Lawrence in two groups at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Friday and will camp overnight at the city park on Saturday. The 80-mile route 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 2. Concession stalls up, as well as Concession stalls anti-nuclear paraphernalia, such as T-shirts and buttons.
The rally will begin with Lawrence
resident Peegy Hilpman singing her own compositions, followed by singer Danny Cox
Jeanne Green, a Salma 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.
"THIS NITT NOT GOING to be 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.
The price of uranium fuel had gone up tenfold since the plant was been bead, he said.
Saturday's rally will be held in cooperation with law enforcement officials around Burlington. The Sunflower Alliance reported of about 70 "peacekeepers" for the rally.
Tolar said no civil disobedience was planned for the rally, unlike the demonstration in Burdington last January, which included a protest by the 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 Jayhawk Towers' rental agreement and uncle apartments continue to bring complaints from KU students.
When tenants signed their leases, they were told they would have to take the apartments as they were, she said. All
Barbara Fendley, Towers manager, said this week that the "F-2" and "F-4" are preferences indicating that the tenants want to have more private apartments for persons. This helps her assign apartments.
The ambiguity in the agreement concerns the presence of an 'F2" or 'F4" written in a blank on the document after "furniture." Tenants say they expected to receive furniture, but the manager leased 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 manager and are not legally binding.

furnished or furnished, rent for $200.
HOWEVER, CONNIE Hale, Kansas City, Md., graduate student, said yesterday that she was not told about the possibilities of not receiving a furnished apartment when she signed her letter. Ann Covalt, Russell junior, said she experienced a similar problem.
Fendley said she did not specifically remember Covall signating 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 meanless.
"Obviously when you write a letter and a number, it's just a reference." Rewind said.
HOWEVER, DARYL Stone, public relations director for the Consumer Affairs Association, does not agree that the designation is merely a reference.
According to a legal representative for the Towers, John Brand, the designations only references. The students should have knowledge that if they were demaigned if they did not understand it, he said.
"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 set 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.
A LEGAL representative at the Consumer Affairs Association said that the tenants involved could possibly get out of their contracts by citing uncomposability.
"Somehow, somewhere, people got the impression that they get furniture," he said. "It's not really a big thing but it is a real benefit of this, and it's fair to save the people have been mutilated."
"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-Trent Act," he said.
parties that a court would refuse to them.
But Brand said that the unconsciliability clause could not be applied to these cases because unconsciliability means that the terms of a contract are to sustain toward one another.
Fendley said that each apartment was cleaned.
"Each apartment is gone through by myself or an assistant," she said. "We call it a crisis."
Hale said her apartment didn't been accumed and that food was caked on the cake.
"This wasn't the kind of dirt that you come in and dump. It was 'use us'," Hale
Although Kansas law requires that the tenant and landlord jointly inspect an apartment, take inventory and make repairs, the report, Hale said that this was not done.
"They wouldn't even give us a copy of the inventory sheet." Hale 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.

"When I did work enrollment it was always 'hi, how was your summer'—kind of a nice social thing," Marqus said. "With a computer, you do away with all of that."
But Student Senator Ed Bigus disagrees.
Bigus, also a member of the pre-enrolment committee, said pre-enrolment 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, body president gave a contrasting student view. She said that most students do not realize what preenlustration would mean to them financially.
"Hundreds of students are now employed at enrollment, but with a commuter now.
