Three Mile Island operator buys water cleanup system
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The operator of the Three Mile Island nuclear plant said yesterday that he was spending $800,000 for a system to boil away 2.3 million gallons of water contaminated in the 1979 accident, even though the method has yet to be approved, and that public hearings were months away.
"We expect the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) to approve the evaporation eventually, but it's possible that that wouldn't happen," GPU Nuclear spokesman Gordon Tomb said in a telephone interview.
GPU Nuclear, operator of the plant, near Harrisburg, Pa., said that the contract with Pacific Nuclear Systems Inc. of Federal Way, Wash., for the evaporator was a calculated risk.
NRC spokeswoman Sue Gagner said it was common for utilities to make major expenditures for equipment before the commission granted permission for its use.
But Kay Pickering, spokeswoman for Three Mile Island Alert, a citizen's group, said she was alarmed when GPU Nuclear told the NRC at a meeting last week that the company had authorized the contractor to design, install and begin testing the evaporation system.
Most of the water is left over from the 1979 accident. The remainder has been used to decontaminate the plant. GPU Nuclear said the average additional radiation exposure from the evaporation would be about the same as the exposure from one to two hours of natural background radiation in the Harrisburg area.
Campus Briefs
Gary Thompson, director of student records, said that about 38,000 fall timetables and 14,000 summer timetables were printed.
TIMETABLES AVAILABLE: The 1988 fall and summer timetables are now available in 111 Strong Hall. Timetables will also be available during enrollment card distribution March 23-24 and through the individual schools
Thompson said students would be limited to one timetable this year to safeguard against a shortage. The restriction would ensure that the timetables would be free to students next year, he said.
Thompson said that in previous years, students had taken more than one timetable. He said that if the problem continued, the students could be charged for the timetables.
"We are just trying to hold the line," he said. "It might seem stingy, but this way we won't have to charge in the future."
Enrollment appointments begin April 1 and end April 21.

Glass Onion undergoing changes
Owners make coffeehouse a restaurant
Price Banks, Lawrence city planning director, discusses renovation plans for the Glass Onion, 12th and Indiana, with co-owner Jeff Morrow.
By Wendy J. Rosenthal
Special to the Kansan
Renovations of the Glass Onion Coffeehouse at 12th and Indiana streets should be completed by Friday, the owners of the property said Supday.
Jeff and Kathy Morrow, the owners, said that the Glass Onion was closed during spring break for building renovations. Those renovations and a new menu will transform the coffeehouse into a restaurant, called the Glass Onion Grill. The restaurant should be open by Friday. they said.
"The Glass Onion as a commercial venture has been a poor performer," Jeff Morrow said. "When the Glass onion started in September of 1986, it was well received. It performed better than it does now in terms of gross volume."
Morrow said that the Yellow Sub restaurant, directly below the Glass Onion, had been subsidizing the Glass Onion. When he separated them in October and November to evaluate the Glass Onion's financial performance, he found that "if the Glass Onion was required to stand on its own, it would be dead."
Renovation plans call for "phased construction." Morrow said. The first phase was the removal of the shed roof, which was done over spring break. The shed roof was the area over Kinko's Copies. The area is now a deck. The second phase, to be carried out in the fall, calls for a glass enclosure of the deck, which would allow the area to be heated during the winter, he said.
Morrow said the renovation cost would be approximately $15,000.
The current dining room will be doubled in size by the 450-square-foot addition. He said that the dining room would accommodate 75 people or more instead of the 50 people it previously accommodated. Changes also include new paint and a new counter.
Morrow said that the Glass Onion was trying to steer away from the

concept and format of a coffeehouse and redefine itself as a restaurant.
"Restaurants and coffeehouses have different personalities," he said. "A coffeehouse is typified by low-cost menu items, low turnover and low volume sales. Restaurants aim for a higher ticket price and type of clientele that is interested in a meal, rather than a social experience."
The Grill will offer 13 types of hamburgers, including a tofu burger, and spiced hash browns. Because of the popularity of shakes, Kathy Morrow said, the Grill will have softserve machines.
"For desserts, we are going to emphasize pies and ice cream," she said. She also said that the Grill would not serve deep-fried or frozen foods.
The Morrows are applying for a cereal malt beverage license to allow the restaurant to sell 3.2 beer, Jeff Morrow said.
"The Glass Onion was an attempt to find a niche in the market for college kids, and it didn't really work without beer." he said.
He said that he thought he could get the cereal malt beverage license to allow the Grill to sell beer to go.
Mark McHugh, Webster Groves junior, said, "Lawrence could use
another place that serves both beer and good food. I think it's a great idea. Instead of walking downstairs to go to the Crossing to get a beer, people could stay upstairs."
Tom Conroy, who owns the Crossing, said, "Jeff Morrow is a friend of mine. Whatever he does will affect me probably, but there is no competition. Of course, I would like to be the only person here selling beer, but there's nothing I can do about that."
The Morrows added that they didn't want to slack in their responsibility to provide a social atmosphere. When the Glass Onion first opened, it offered a number of musical events and poetry readings.
"We personally enjoyed them," Morrow said. "We hope we will be able to continue some of those events, and we think the physical alterations to the building will enhance those events."

date of November 1987.
Feeling a strange sense of confusion, or maybe a wave of vertigo? Don't be alarmed. It could only be a touch of Disorientation.
The latest issue of the Diorisonert Handbook will be distributed on campus this week and soon should be available free at the Oread Book Shop and at Lawrence businesses. The magazine is partially financed by Student Senate.
The issue is the fourth to appear since the magazine's inception in the summer of 1985, but it is numbered 3.2 to reflect its intended publication
Disorientation 3.2 contains articles and illustrations that run a gamut of topics, from information on AIDS and fallout shelters in Lawrence to a history of beer in Lawrence. The 32-page issue is the publication's largest.
But Disorientation has gained a reputation with some readers as a
"It's hard to sum up the issue," he said. "It's kind of a pot luck of information."
Mike Mader, Great Bend graduate student and one of Disorientation's co-editors, said he thought the magazine's variety made it more attractive to students.

Many attend L.A. funeral for Andy Gibb
KAPLAN
LOS ANGELES — Singer Andy Gibb, the former pop and disco star who died of a heart ailment at age 30, was interred yesterday in the Hollywood Hills after a service attended by 100 people, including his three singing brothers, the Bee Gees.
The British-born Gibb, who died March 10 in Oxford, England, was eulogized during a private service at a Forest Lawn Memorial Park chapel by a *Mystodist* minister, the Rev. Stephen Stewart.
BE OVER 40 AND LOVE IT!

Dennis "Boog" Highberger, Lawrence resident and founder of Disorientation, said he got the inspiration for the magazine from a booklet published at the University of California-Berkley.
Gibb died of myocarditis, which was described as a rare viral infection of the heart muscle, after he was hospitalized for stomach pains. Doctors reported no evidence that drugs or alcohol were involved in his death.

"When we started, we felt the need
to give information to incoming freshmen that they weren't getting from other sources," he said. "We intended to show a side of Lawrence that isn't so apparent."
"We don't want to tell people how to think or what to think, but just to think."
Highberger, who is listed as the "vanishing editor" in the issue, said that Disorientation 3.2 was not as strident as the first issue but that he was pleased nonetheless.
Shelle Rosenfeld, Lawrence graduate student and co-editor of Disorientation, she hoped that readers would pick up the editors' intentions.
Actors striking against ad agencies
Television and radio commercial stars demand more money
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The entertainment industry was hit yesterday by a second strike, when television and radio commercial actors struck advertising agencies over cable television residuals and cost-of-living payments.
The strike is the second by Hollywood talent unions in less than a month. The Writers Guild of America yesterday entered the third week of its strike against motion picture and television producers.
The 100,000 joint members of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Radio and Television Artists called their strike against the BMG for the sale of a movie of Advertising Agencies and the Association of National Advertisers.
The strike affects only radio and television commercials.
The union rejected a management offer of immediate fee increases in exchange for eliminating a cost of living schedule that has been in the last three contracts. Advertisers refused to accept a proposed tiered payment system for commercials shown on cable television.
The striking actors picketed offices of the Ogilvy and Mather agency in Los Angeles and Honolulu. In New York city, strikers set up picket lines at General Motors Plaza during a GM board meeting.
"This is a matter of pride," said Alec Murdock, who appears in television ads for Coast Savings and Apple Macintosh computers and who joined hundreds of people on a picket line in Los Angeles. "You spend years trying to get work and going to casting calls and callbacks, and when you finally get a commercial, you want to be treated equally."
