water and then allowing it to escape from the water outside the reactor.
"It's slow but it's safe," said Bloch Lengel, engineer for Metropolitan Edison.
Officials hoped by midnight yesterday to hook up two "hydrogen recombiners" to slowly remove hydrogen from the reactor containment building. Denton said.
THE RECOMBINER, in an igloo of lead bricks outside the containment building, take hydrogen and combine it with oxygen, in a process involving heat and a catalyst, to form water. The water then will be stored as radioactive waste.

Scientists also are concerned about the possibility of hydrogen and oxygen mixing, in flamable proportions, in the buildup of hydrogen in the reactor, but inside the containment building.

some faith in the NRC to deal with these problems," he said. "No one was hurt. I don't mind when it only affects the power of women. I have been enjoying high profits all along."
The concentration of oxygen is too low to allow an explosion. Even if an explosive concentration were reached, it would take a long time for the gas to be no ready, source of spark inside the core.

Ballooning.
"It was the last straw for some people," he said.
Bill Beems, Lawrence senior and spokesman for the KU Students for a Radioactive-Free Kansas, said he and other members of the group had received letters from KU students and Lawrence residents concerned about the Harrisburg incident.
Beems said that some people had called him in response to "The China Syndrome," a movie now showing in Lawrence, that exposed the mistrust accident at a nuclear power plant.
BEEMS SAID that members of his group had been distributing leaflets outside the movie almost every night of its showing. He said he found it to be an excellent tool' for getting people involved.
But because the bubble cannot be measured directly and its presence and composition can only be inferred from other sources, it is important that many are treating the problem with urgency.
'The movie has made people who aren't normally aware of these problems much
more conscious," he said. "By passing out the leaflets, we've giving them the oppressive feeling."
The leaflets requested support for a bill in Congress that would terminate the granting of construction licenses to nuclear fission power plants.
The leaflets also request donations to The Wolf Creek Legal Support Fund for the demonstrators who pleaded not guilty following their arrest in Burlington.
BUT SOME students object to the leaflets tactic, saying that it is merely preying on the emotions of people who have seen the movie.
"The movie is fiction," said Howard Epstein, Topeka junior, who saw the movie last week. "And then to be handed a flier that's related to something that's real makes you want to transfer that false information into something that's concrete. That's not right."
But Epstein said that he was concerned about the possibility of a nuclear accident, similar to the one at Harrisburg, happening at Wolf Creek.
"Maybe it's good that this kind of thing happened in the early stage of the game so that it won't get handled with less care than it deserves," he said.

Other speakers at the rally echoed Kuby's sentiments.
Kenneth Brouhard, a member of a public service employees union, said, "We support your rally. We are against discrimination at KU and all over the world as well."
Brouhard, a former steamerfitter for KU's facilities operations, said he had been transferred to general construction by the University against his will. However, he was given the transfer resulted from personal differences between Brouhard and his supervisor.
Jeff Longfoher, a member of the Young Socialist Alliance, said, "We are not surprised that KU is not willing to engage in such an event. South Africa is an investor's dream."
ANOTHER SPEAKER, Sharron Parker.
president of the Black Student Union, said,
"There is a problem when the people's money is being used and they don't even know what it is being used for."
Parker also criticized the videated surveillance of the rally by the KU Police Department. Members of the police department, including a law enforcer, ran from the second floor of Strong Hall.
Mike Hill, director of KU police, said after the rally, "The main purpose of the tape is for problems like shoving or other disturbances. Everything here was very peaceful."
"Why are our pictures being taken? They say it is for security. Security from what?"
But one student watching the rally, Dette Colgan, Bonner Springs senior, said, "I think the surveillance by the University is a pity that more people aren't aware of it."

Inequity historical, Abzug says
By MARK L. OLSON
Bella Abzug is a former U.S. representative, a lawyer and a mother. In front of U.S. woman, she is a high-spirited motivator and unabashed storyteller. In the fast-paced chaos of New York City and Washington, she has made people listen to her argument for equal treatment for women.
Staff Reporter
"We began as a flawed democracy. The rights were for men. They were great guys, our forefathers. They wrote a great document, but they didn't give a hoot about our foremothers."
"It is not an accident we should still be struggling for the Equal Rights Amendment in this country."
AS A MEMBER of the House of Representatives, Abzug fought to pass legislation she wrote banning discrimination against women in obtaining credit, loans and mortgages.
In a January 1977 Gallup poll, Abzug was shown to be one of the 20 most influential women in the world. A U.S. News & World Report poll of her congressional peers in February led her as the third most influential member of the House.
Now, out of elective office and recently deposed by President Carter as co-chairman of the National Advisory Committee for Women, Abeg is bringing to the grassroots what he knows will must use their collective strength to bring about change.
"I've never had any trouble reaching someone," she said, "even under the Nixon administration, which I mercilessly attacked, or the Ford administration or my own Democratic administration."
ABZUG RECALLED an occasion in 1971 or 1972 when she thought she was not in the good graces of the Nixon administration.
She said she and her husband, Martin, had been invited to the White House, but she was telling Martin that she did not want to be there.
"Martin asked, 'Why not?'" she said, "and I told him I had been saying some pretty mean things about the president--like 'Let's impeach him' and he said we had given him a speech," she placed he was going to live when he became first man.
An outspoken activist for women's rights causes, Abzug was appointed by President Carter in 1978 to be cochairman of the National Advisory Committee for Women and a member of the Board of Directors, director of the National Conference on Puerto Rican Women.
CARTER APARENTLY found the committee's criticisms of his policies more than the handlers' comments, with 72% saying they were too strong.
resignations of 26 of the committee's 40 members, in a show of solidarity.
She mentioned the attempts made to play down financial scandals involving Bert Lance and the drug scandals involving Carter's drug abuse adviser, Peter Bourne.
Abug said that she thought she had been tired as a sagegirl and that a double standard existed within the CSA.
"Those in power are usually unwilling to share it with those who do not have it," she said. "Essentially, what we are confronting is a male power structure, and it is unwilling to share its power with women."
Abzug balanced her remarks about the firing with a few words of faith for Carter's long-ange intentions.
"Fifty percent of all women work today. In the last 20 years women have been pouring into the job market, and yet they only make 60 cents on the dollar compared to men.
"I think he is going to have to show some specific accomplishments.
"I think there is a lot of pressure on him now," she said. "I think he wants to do for women's rights what Lydon Jones does."
Eighty percent of women's jobs are clustered at the bottom, or older. Of those who live below the poverty level, 63 percent have
"We demand the kind of equality for men and women that will enable us to move forward."
Women told job commitment vital
By ELLEN IWAMOTO
Staff Reporter
The doors to traditionally male professionals are just beginning to open to women, but commitment, time and money are needed if women are to continue to make use of recording to Ray Cainn, regional director of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Camin, former associate dean of the college of Business Administration and professor of economics at Wichita State University, spoke to about 80 of the 90 students of the Intercollegiate Association of Women Students convention Friday in the Kansas Union.
"We have reached a point where women no longer face professions only in teaching, nursing and as secretaries and mothers," she said.
But, she said, those women rising the fastest are those who are making the extra effort.
CAMIN SAID she disgraced with some feminists who thought a certain number of hours in a day was enough to a commitment. He must be willing to give up more of their time.
"And when you get that job," she said,
"be innovative, be willing to be a little naughty."
Many employers have two standards, Camin said. They expect women to have experience, but men need to show only potential.
In her own office, a man from the personnel office came to her one day and told her he had found a woman who was the best qualified for a job.
"by just his tone of voice," she said, "I knew he found it hard to believe."
Camin she thought employers should take the responsibility to encourage women to apply for jobs. A statement that women were tired because they do not apply is not valid.
WOMEN HAVE a heavy burden for some time to come, she said. All women will be judged competent or incompetent based on what a few individuals do.
In addition to speeches such as Camin's, many of the delegates attended 13 workshops offered as part of the convention Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Some of the workshops explored interracial communication, abortion rights and sexual myths.

In a workshop titled "How the Law Affects Women," two lawyers explained a woman's role in divorce and other proceedings.
Some women ask the court for separate maintenance, which is usually called legal separation. Finances are still shared but the couple lives apart.
Eileen Hine, a lawyer for a private law firm, McDowell, Rice, Smith in Kansas City, Kan., and Rose Stewart of the Kansas Legal Services in Lawrence, said divorce lawyers had to work after no fault grounds for divorce were instituted in most states, including Kansas.
"IT IS A final marriage without calling it divorce, which some people prefer to accept."
Another workshop, titled "Women and Medicine: Taking Control of Your Health," was led by Josie Nurse, M.D., and Libby Stoddard, a professor of the Holistic Birthing Center in Topeka.
The women emphasized the importance for all women to take control of their bodies.
"You are responsible for your own body and you should make the decisions about Norris. "Doctors provide opinions and information, but you make the final decision."
Schumm for Lawrence
Too many women have the "fix-m attitude," which is unhealthy, according to Norris, because doctors became too paternalistic.
Women should consider changing doctors to find one to fit their needs. Hiney said.

At that time, hoping to find some satisfaction in life. 1
Green Pastures
At that time, hoping to find some satisfaction in life, I started drinking and getting high. All that did was wear out. So I came to KU, thinking that since I was tired from home - I would have a great time. I didn't.
Soon my cue would come and I would make my appearance on stage; others in the cast felt excited, yet I was disappointed inside. I had looked forward to this performance for a long time. Now I felt empty . . .
During high school I loved acting and lived from production to production. I was like the goat who wandered to the next hill because the grass looked greener—found that it wasn't, but looked to the next hill because it looked more and more distant from his keeper.
After I came to Lawrence, I met some Christians living in my fraternity. They explained Christianity in terms I'd never heard before, even though I had gone to a church all my life. They said our sin was like a running away, a separation from God—much like the goat—and they saw no other way out. I joined fellowship with our Creator. What had the most impact
on me was their personal relationship with the living God. That was revolutionary to my understanding of Christianity, so real and dynamic, compared to my concept of God as a being.
Later, I asked Jesus Christ to come into my heart as He had promised in the Bible that He would. True to his word, He has never left.
To follow Christ will take me a lifetime, but to accept Him and become right with God took only an honest invitation from my heart. I'm not blindly hoping like I was in high school, because I know that I have an eternal life with God that has already started.
