Fuel, snow removal costs triple Dewey Alaire, associate director of Facilities Operations, said yesterday that snow removal had cost $60,000 this year and that the amount would continue to rise as crews cleaned up the sand used on the streets and sidewalks this winter. "Last year $19,000 was spent on snow removal," Alaire said. "Assuming this is the end of the snow, we will have spent more than three times the amount spent last winter." Alaïla said that the high snow removal costs had not been budgeted, and that this would affect the amount of money Facilities Operations had this fiscal year. spending," he said. "We weren't budgeted on the basis having $40,000 extra in snow Allaire said the department was making its cutbacks in supplies rather than in labor. "WE'VE ALREADY been cutting back on "We're only buying what we need, and supplies are not being replaced when they are used," Allaire said. "Our supply induction is new, and will not be replaced right away." Richard Perkins, associate director of plant maintenance, said fuel oil costs and gasoline costs are increasing. "Last year KU used 340,000 gallons of fuel oil because it was not off gas for the extended periods it was this winter," Perkins said. "The University burned 968,788 gallons of fuel oil this winter and that is three times more than any year on our records." KU WAS cut off from natural gas service Jan. 1 under the terms of its interruptible contract with the Kansas Public Service Gas Company. The contract allowed for service to be discontinued when demand for natural gas was high. The cold temperatures in January forced KU to be without natural gas for 38 days, the longest period ever. Perkins said fuel oil costs would go as high as $400,000 for the winter. "The first 35,000 gallons of fuel oil KU bought this winter were bought at 28 cents a gallon," he said. "Since the beginning of the year, fuel oil has risen to 37 to 40 cents a gallon. That is quite a spread over the winter." Fuel oil costs, however, do not affect the Facilities Operations budget. Utility costs are picked up by the Kansas Legislature and are therefore not increased. Increased costs will have on the KU budget. PERKINS SAID KU's fuel oil storage tank was now full. The tank holds 230,900 gallons of oil and provides the University a 14 to 16 day supply of oil for heat. "We have two more bids out for fuel oil but these bids probably will be canceled." Perkins said. "The tanks can't hold any more than 10 percent of oil again, no more orders will be placed." Perkins said that despite the high fuel costs, KU did not use any more energy than would be expected in a winter of comparable coldness. "Our highest daily output of heat was no greater than it has been in the past," he said. "We used the oil we burned more efficiently this winter." NEEDA Marcum and Del Brinkman, KU's faculty representative to the Big Eight, are attending bi-annual conference meetings this weekend in Kansas City, Mo. The meetings began yesterday and will continue today and tomorrow. Big 8 will try to keep control at sports events The Big Eight Athletic Conference will try to maintain better crowd control and bench conduct at athletic events, Bob Marcum, KU men's athletic director, said last night.
