Regents O.K. funds to plan energy plant
By DIANE WOLKOW
Staff Writer
The Kansas Board of Regents approved on Friday a University of Kansas request for an additional 800,500 to be used in the research and development of a featureful steam plant at KU.
According to Max Lucas, University director of facilities planning, the Regents' recommendation will go to the U.S. Senate to the Kansas Legislature next January, for final approval for fiscal year 1979. The UniversityLucas said that he expects that together it will receive the funds.
Luca said the 1977 legislature had allocated $10,000 for preliminary planning during the 1978 fiscal year. He explained that preliminary planning, which is when most of the basic decisions are made, was the phase in any proposed construction project.
If planning goes well this year, the actual architecture* and *ginering drawings and specifications will be completed during the 1979 fiscal year. Lucas said.
The proposed plant, which would cost an estimated $11 million to $14 million to build, would burn solid waste, or garbage, to heat the steam for the University's heating system, Mary Soderstrum, Lucas' assistant, said.
Liability policy offered to staff
By PEGGY SPENCER Staff Writer
Liability insurance for the University of Kansas faculty and staff will be available this fall at a cost of $25 per person each. Please refer to the vice chairman, and yesterday
Shankel said the insurance program would provide $250,000 coverage for each potential lawsuit. The policy would allow a total liability of $1 million each year in federal unpaid war.
All faculty and staff at KU will be eligible for the insurance although employees will not be required to participate in the program. Shankel said.
Suit for mla practice as a result of KU Medical Center operations or from police employee activities won't be accepted under the insurance program, he said.
Shankel said the University decided to begin an insurance program because of the increased number of lawsuits that have occurred, each year at the national level.

A student could initiate a lawsuit, Shankel said, if he felt a professor had used discriminatory grading practices. The student would have to prove he had been denied admission to a professional school course of the grade he received in the course.
Students could also sue classroom laboratory instructors for injuries that occurred as a direct result of not being told of necessary safety precautions.
Shankel estimated that 800 KU employees would purchase the insurance.
Because the University's air-conditioning units now work through water absorption, she said, the steam generated by the plant was used to cool the University during the summer.
KU's heating and cooling system is now fuelled by gas.
The idea for a waste-fueled plant, Soderstrom said, was originated by William P. Smith, dean of the KU School of Engineering at the University, added over to the university administration.
Smith is now developing an "energy forest" of Cottonwood trees to provide extra fuel for the plant during extremely cold weather. she said.
Lucas said that architects and engineers from both the University and outside firms were doing planning and feasibility studies for the project.
He said that a possible site for the plant, which would consume waste from Douglas and three nearby counties, is situated on West Campus.

rezoning because of the large public investment in health facilities already in the area. It could attract more physicians to Lawrence, he said.
Dick Blair, physician, predicted that about half of the doctors in Lawrence would eventually relocate around the hospital, if land were available. He said expansion in the area would be confined largely to group, rather than to individual practices.
From page one
The neighborhood association expressed fear that commissioners might rezone too much land in an attempt to cut down on speculation in the area. Campbell said overzoning would have the effect of isolating well-kept homes because investors would buy the smaller deteriorating houses first. The neighborhood association said the neighbourhood is the least destruction of existing houses," Mona McCoy, president of the association, said.
