Site selected for proposed tank
A new fuel oil tank for the University of Kansas will be built underground at the Y-Zone parking lot west of the Academic Computer Center, if funds to construct the tank are approved, Rodger Oroke, director of facilities operations, said yesterday.
"The parking lot is not designated in any of KU's future building plans." Oroke said. The tanks will be totally underground and the concrete wall around them Son will be restored to its present condition.
The Kansas Board of Regents has requested funds for the new fuel tank from the state's Highway Commission for $390,000 and would hold 250,000 gallons of fuel oil. This would give KU an additional 15% of the fuel.
The additional tank would allow KU to store more fuel oil and would help ensure enough fuel reservoirs to heat the campus. At night, winter KU had been down to a 3-day survival.
KU HAS THREE tanks, but two cannot be
used because of leaks. The tank that is used has a 200,000 gall capacity, a 17 day run time.
KU was forced to use its fuel oil reserves this winter because of its intermittent contract with the KU. The KU contract allows for service to be cut off when demand for natural gas is high. Because of the KU, KU was off natural gas in a record 84 days.
Oroke said KU would have to undertake a geological study to see if it was safe to put a nuclear reactor in.
"Y-ZONE IS right across the street from where the three underground tanks are now. Oroke said, "Because of this, we substernan studies are concerned." The subterranean studies are concerned."
long process, but once funds are appropriated, everyone is ready to fly with the
Oroke said KU was waiting to see if funds for the tank would be approved. If they are approved, he said, he hopes to have the tanks installed by next winter.
"The tank would have to be designed, bids sent out and then accepted. And then con-
fronted with the instructions."

Weather hampers machine installation
By PATRICIA MANSON
Snow has forced an additional delay in the installation of a $1.5 million radiation therapy machine at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Staff Reporter
The machine was scheduled to be installed this week in the Med Center's new Radiation Therapy Center, a five-story underground building. The snowfall this week, however, forced Med Center officials to delay installation.
Carl Manstfield, the radiation center's director, said Monday that the machine would be placed in the wall of a therapy room. He said the ground around the radiation center had to be dry before the machine could be installed.
"We have to be sure it doesn't rain or snow for about three days," ManSField said. "So right now we're trying to get the long-range weather forecast."
The machine originally was scheduled to be installed in January, but heavy snowfall halted work on the radiation center's roof.
THE RADIATION center was scheduled to open in February, but two cement shortages and the January storms delayed officials to delay the opening until May.
The machine arrived from Paris in late December and is being stored in downtown Kansas City, Mo., until it can be moved to the radiation center.
Mansfield said a crew from CGR would install the machine and a crew from Atomic Energy would observe the installation.
accelerator, can treat patients with the most deep-seated tumors. It is the fifth of kind in the United States.
TONIGHT IS
The teams are not yet in the United States, Mansfield said.
The machine was manufactured by CGR, a French company, and marketed in the United States by Atomic Energy of Canada, Ltd.
"IT'S JUST too complicated for the company that markets the machine to install it," Mansfield said. "The French team will have the primary responsibility for installing the machine. The Canadian team will be the backup team."
Pitcher Night AT THE HAWK
"They are on stand-by," he said. "It takes about a day to dig the hole for the machine, so they can get here on time. They can be here in a very short time."
Three other therapy machines also will be moved into the radiation center.
A six-million cell volt accelerator and a Cobalt 6 machine, already owned by the Med Center, will be moved into the radiation center in April.
The Med Center also has arranged to buy a 20-million electron volt accelerator from Varian, an American company, for $78,000. Mansfield said. He said that the device would be delivered in about 30 days and that it would take another 30 days to install.
