10B Wednesday, January 13. 1988/University Daily Kansan Kansas won't get supercollider By Kevin Dilmore Kansan staff writer Kansas was eliminated in late December from a list of 25 prospective sites for the federal governments $4.4 billion supercolider project. The national academies of science and engineering narrowed the list of prospective sites to eight states: Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. The states were found to be geographically economically and geologically qualified for the project. The Kansas Legislature spent $300,000 on a proposal that placed the supercollider on a 16,000-acre site near the Pomona Reservoir, about 26 miles southwest of Lawrence. The supercollision would be the world's largest subatomic particle accelerator. Officials estimated that the project would create about 4,500 jobs during its construction and that 2,500 jobs would remain after it went into operation. Also last month: - Nebraska was selected over Kansas and three other states last month to host a dump for low-level radioactive waste. At least four possible sites for the duathlon race, two of the Kangas,Nerbaska,border. The Central Interstate Low-Level Radioactive Waste Compact Commission voted 4-1 to place the dump in Nebraska. It will store waste from Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska and Oklahoma. The five states were under a federal mandate to select a site for the dump by Jan.1. - Lawrence residents made national during ABC TV's coverage of Summer Crews from "World News Tonight" were in Lawrence Dec. 7 tapping interviews with some of the people involved in the making of the 1983 TV movie "The Day After." The report focused on whether the movie made people here more aware of nuclear issues. Among those interviewed were David Longhurst, former mayor of Lawrence and peace activist; Ellen Anthony, Lawrence High School sophomore, and a sixth-grade class at Hill Elementary School, 901 Schwarz Road. The report combined the interviews with footage of a 1986 Lawrence delegation to Moscow and Soviet athletes competing in the Kansas Relaws. Charges filed against the leader of a one-man ministry who was ticketed near Lawrence in November for salvaging two deer killed on Kansas and Missouri highways were dropped in December in Douglas County District Court. Jesse Ray Tucker, the leader and sole member of Good Samaritan Ministries in Redlands, Calif. received two tickets from Kansas Wildlife and Parks Officials for possession of deer without a tag. Tucker told the officers that he picked up one dead deer on Interstate 70 between Kansas City and St. Louis and another on Highway 24-40 between Lawrence and Tonganoxie. He said he took the deer with the intention of distributing the meat to needy families in Lawrence. Tucker distributed some of the meat to friends. At the time, he said he had a lot of stuff to eat. "I thought it would be appropriate to serve this service as a warning and drop it off." Douglas County District Attorney Jim Flory, said that when he talked to the conservation officer who gave Tucker the tickets, the officer indicted him. Tucker did not realize that what he had done was a violation of fish and game statutes. Motorists who hit deer on Kansas highways may be allowed to keep them only after the accident has been reported and the deer has been inspected and tagged by law enforcement officials. Illegal possession of game without a permit carries a maximum fine of $1,000 and a maximum sentence of six months in the county jail. Real-life journalists applaud 'Broadcast News' NEW YORK — They have a few complaints about accuracy, but most real-life "Broadcast News" people are delighted by the movie, especially its portrayal of the passionately dedicated producer who is the unheralded heart of network news. The Associated Press Writer-director James L. Brooks' romantic triangle set in the Washington news bureau of a major network has become the critics' darling and a box-office smash. Holly Hunter stars as the all-consumed producer who is torn between hardworking reporter Aaron Altman (Albert Brooks) and a handsome, budding attorney (William Hurt) who has risen to the top by virtue of his looks. Jane Pauley, co-anchor of NBC's "Today" show, is concerned that the movie might give the impression that on-air people are dummies, but she had only praise for Hunter's role as producer Jane Craig. "I was surprised that a popular movie could be made about that character, because it would've been more predictable to do a story about the anchorman or anchorwoman," said Pauley. "So I loved it that it turned that glamorous image of our business on its head and demystified it a little. I think that's important." Tom Bettag, executive producer of the "CBS Evening News said, "In catching the frenzy and compulsiveness that comes with the business, I will just all sit and say, 'God, they got it just right.' Brooks says the Holly Hunter character is a composite of many hard-working female producers. All the networks know a Jane Craig. "It's very difficult for us at CBS to watch it, because Holly Hunter is so much Susan Zirinsky, it's like watching home movies," said Bettag. Zirinsky, a senior producer in the CBS Washing ton bureau, was a technical aid on the movie Brooks, who worked briefly years ago for CBS in New York, made a local TV station the setting for his "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and later moved "Lou Grant" to a big city newspaper. Though no network is specifically mentioned in "Broadcast News," at one point the president of the news division comes from New York to deliver the bad news that some staffers are to be laid off, a move CBS made last year when about 200 employees from the news division were let go. But what makes those in the business cringe about the movie is the idea that a dim-witted, good-looking guy without any journalistic ethics or know-how could rise to the top in their profession. Jeff Klein WANGAN "It's everybody's worst nightmare of having a William Hurt emerge," said Bettag. "Fortunately, we haven't had to face that problem yet. I think people understand that the three network anchormen are real treasures, because they're not just actors." Fan mania Jayhawk fans show their support for Kansas basketball and their distaste for rival Missouri. The Jayhawks defeated the Tigers 78-74 at Allen Field House on Saturday. Texas university trying to control cackling birds by making slippery roosts The Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas — Whistling rockets didn't work, so University of Texas officials have tried more subtle methods to try to get rid of the tens of thousands of grackles on campus. Officials are pruning trees to eliminate roosting space of the shriking and squawking great-tailed birds. Cold water also might be sprayed into the trees to make roosting a slippery business. "The noise was never really effective," said Charles Franklin, university vice president for business affairs. "It just moved the birds around." “But we have a huge campus with over 400 acres that have trees on them. So it will take a lot of effort and time to get there, but I am about how long it’ll take,” he said. Many other institutions around the country with similar problems have found the pruning-and-watering treatment to be worthwhile, Franklin said. Unless they are causing economic depredation, grackles and other blackbirds are protected by federal migratory-bird regulations. A grackle consultant estimated several winters ago the campus harbored. Keith Arnold, a professor of wildlife and fisheries sciences at Texas A&M University, is familiar with the problem. Arnold has been studying grackles for 18 years and has watched the birds move northward from their original homes in Mexico and South Texas. MOBILE LOCKSMITH VISA MasterCard SHOP —24hr.
