Bill would encourage ROTC enrollments
TOPEKA-A a bill providing tuition waivers for some students enrolled in Reserve Officers' Training Corps programs would encourage more people to join ROTC,
The representative, James Braden, R-Wakefield, told the Senate Way and Means Committee that the bill would help strengthen ROTC at Kansas universities.
The bill, which has been passed by the Kansas House, would allow 10 students in each school to participate in tuition. No more than 40 students at each school would be allowed to participate in the program.
A student who received a waiver would be obligated to serve as a commissioned officer in the Kansas National Guard for four years after graduation.
A STUDENT WHO failed to qualify as an officer would be required to serve four years as an enlisted member of the Guard or pay back the tuition.
Kansas Regents schools with ROTC programs are the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, Wichita State University and Pittsburgh State University.
Jim McFarland, academic office of the board of Regents, said the Regents would "welcome this move."
Under the bill, the Kansas Board of Regents would be responsible for choosing the chairperson.
"We are taking the neutral position in regard to this bill," McFarland said.
Braden said that the program would cost about $105,600 a year when 180 students, the maximum number allowed, received waivers.
Under the bill, the program would begin in July 1980 and end in July 1986.
Braden said, "If the program isn't working, they can end it then. But if it works, the Legislature might not want to sunset it."
Underground houses rise above dissent
A change in the zoning statutes that would allow underground houses in Douglas County, was approved unanimously by the county commission despite objections by the zoning administrator.
Proponents of underground housing, which is housing built entirely or partially underground, say it could substantially reduce heating and cooling costs.
Wayne Kellum, county zoning administrator, objected to the change and said it could be interpreted to allow basement statutes prohibit basement dwellings.
When commissioners asked Kellum how he would reword the statute to prevent this misinterpretation, he said it could only be done if the county adopted a building code.
The county does not have a building code, but Beverly Bradley, commissioner; chair
"I don't have any problem with a well-constructed underground house, but I'm sure somebody is going to test this," Kellum said.
One county resident, Keean Sloan, came to the commission meeting to argue in favor of a bill.
Slaan said he planned to build an underground house, but he said he would not be the first person in the county to start building because he has not sold his present home or bought land for his underground home.
"I've never seen why the county and city have been so afraid of underground houses because banks are going to make sure the bank does not issue or before issuing a loan to them," Sloan said.
Sloan said that between three and five people might start building underground this year, but that he did not expect to see a rash of underground buildings immediately.
"I don't think this is a thing that is going to move real fast because technical reasons," he said.

Trial of 5 is under way in nuclear protest case
BURLINGTON, Kan.-A jury was selected and the prosecution began its case yesterday in a trial in Coffee County District Court of five anti-nuclear demonstrators.
Bill Beems, Lawrence senior, who is one of the defendants, said last night that he was pleased with the way the first day of the trial had gone.
The defendants were the first of 16 persons to be tried for blocking the movement of a train carrying a nuclear reactor vessel on a Creek plant near Burlington on January 12.
"I can't talk too much about it because the judge ordered us not to," he said, "but the information the prosecution presented today was confused, to say the least.
fanfares
Beems' and the four other defendants originally had been charged with a Class C misdemeanor, criminal trespassing. But County Attorney Phil F fromme dropped that charge and replaced it with two Class C misdemeanors and a Class A misdemeanor charge.
The new charges are temporary deprivation of property, failure to obey a police officer and failure to walk on a roadway in a proper manner.
"For example, there was contradictory testimony about who was where."
We're changing our times to suit your times. . .
Beems said the trial would resume at 9:30 this morning with testimony from two more prosecution witnesses. Then the defense will call for a hearing which will finish today or tomorrow morning.
