Energy problems cited
Times of cheap gas and oil are gone for good, according to one of two speakers at a Kansas Geological Survey Forum held in Cedar Rapids. Space Technology Building on West campus.
However, Charles Heller, who has been active in the petroleum industry since 1913, said that Americans pay more for Europeans who pay 3% times what most American drivers for gas.
More than 30 persons attended the forum,
The Repercussions of the Continuing Old
According to Heller, a great mistake made by this country's leaders was not telling people that the energy crisis was not a haox on the part of the oil companies, but actually a serious threat to the nation's security.
Department of Energy's lack of accomplishment.
Heller also had heavy criticism for the
"Their intent to formulate an energy policy collapsed," he said. "Private interest groups pressured congressional committee members to release energy bill, making it a kind of skeleton."
AS AN ALTERNATIVE to an energy bill, the State should enter into a hermetic system of consulting associate for transnational affairs for the American Universities Field.
The speaker, Melvin A. Conant, said that this system would unite this country with other Western hemisphere countries such as Mexico, Canada, and Venezuela.
However, Conant said he saw some problems in getting other nations to enter
"Venezuela would be interested in financial assistance," he said, "but Mexico and Canada wouldn't welcome American oil companies into their operations."
CONANT ALSO said that the cause was set back by Secretary of Energy James A. Schlesinger's conduct during recent interviews with Mexico regarding their oil reserves.
"Our credibility was weakened," he said,
and that's our most important issue-
Congress is also at fault for the United States to develop an energy program. Conant said.
"The government is a barrier to what we want," he said. "Regulation has become the bread of life for many thousands of bureaucrats."
Shopping mall construction begins
Groundbreaking is underway for a shopping mall at 23rd Street and Oudahdi
Sam Shipstead, developer and general leasing agent for the property, said yesterday that the 72,000 square foot mall would be completed about Dec. 1.
Shipmate said that when completed, the mall would contain about 30 stores.
Shipstead said that the $2 million mail already had attracted about 15 companies to use it.
"I say that we've got about 45 to 50 percent of the space accounted for," he said.
He estimated that the mall, which will be
built by Rau Construction Co., Kansas City, Mo., would have 300 parking spaces.
Shipstead said that Lawrence growth patterns indicated the need for a mall along the river.
Another mall, proposed for south Lawrence, has caused some downtown businesses to question its effect on their business.
"We feel that the town is definitely growing in a southwestward direction and we thought people needed this type of mail," he said. "I feel that the mall will take care of the people in the southwest part of the town."
However, Shipthead said, the mail at 23rd Street and Ousadh1 Road might not have too great of an effect on downtown shopping business.
Shipstead predicted that within a few years the area of Z2rd and Iowa streets would be doubled.
"I think downtown will still be very strong after the mail is built," he said.

Satellite Union to open in fall in spite of delays, tighter budget
be "tight," because the several revenu-
epreneurs area of the Union, such as concessions and food services, was about 1797 from last year's figure. He attributed the drop to an overall tightness of the economy, and increases in wholesale food prices.
Ferguson said some losses had resulted from decreased participation and volume of sales at the Union 'Jay Bowl' caused by competition from other bowls at university.
Losses caused by competition from the Varsty Shop, 1420 Crescent Road, had not been severe, he said.
Despite delays in construction, the Satellite Union is still scheduled to be completed by fall, Frank Burge, director of the Kansas Union, said Saturday.
FERGUSON SAID that although he expected March figures to show improvement, the board might have to consider further financial support from Bookstore prefers before distributing books. He also expects with Bookstore customers each semester
MARIAN SCHETTZ, manager of food service at the Union, said that food service hours at the Satellite Union probably would run later than at the main Union to attract the business of students living in nearby Davis Hill residence halls.
Betty Brock, general manager of the Union Bookstores, said because there would be no way to anticipate demands for textbooks at the Satellite Union, only general supplies, such as notebooks, art engineering supplies would be sold there.
Burge out planned for finishing the Satellite Union at a board of directors meeting of the University of Kansas Memorial Corporation.
The Satellite Union is under construction northwest of Allen Field House.
In other business, the board voted to adopt the operating budget for fiscal year 1980, as proposed by the board's fiscal and financial affairs committee.
One important item in the budget, Ferguson said, is an 8.3 percent increase in average Union employee wages; to make that happen, the union provided civil service employees. Although wages paid by the Union are patterned after wages paid to KU employees, the increase was necessary because it provides the step from labor to providence to civil service workers, he said.
finish storage areas in the building, or provide for a brick exterior patio.
there for the next few years", Burge said.
Union officials said they expected the first year of operation at the Satellite Union to be one of experimentation.
He said that at least four contractors had drawn plans and would be presenting bids Thursday for unfinished areas of the building. He also mentioned that remained in the construction budget for the contract probably would not completely cover the finishing costs. He said some areas of the building would not have been put on until more funds could be raised
Of priority, Burge said, is the completion of a parking lot and loading dock. He estimated this would cost between $70,000 and $90,000.
ALSO PLANNED is the finishing of a multi-purpose room that would provide space for conferences and living-group parties, and an activities area that would provide, among other things, office space for the legal services attorney.
"We'll probably have sed and grass out there for the next few years." Burge said.
Burge said the money probably would not stretch far enough to "modestly"
A system is planned, she said, that would allow students to place orders for text-books at the branch store. The order would be filled at the main Union and students would be able to pick up their order at the branch store the next day, she said.
