Utility earnings, rates go up with fuel costs
Staff Reporter
The Kansas Power and Light's (KPL)
earnings went up 26 cents a share last year,
and the Kansas Corporation Commission
(KCC) thinks it is justified.
KPL subsists a monthly report to the KCC in earnings, profits, higher shares, and gas costs.
Ward Salisbury, chief engineer for KCC, said recently that increased earnings of KPL were necessary to offset higher fuel costs, taxes and base rates. KCC is a state regulatory agency that sets gas and retail electric rates for Kansas utilities.
The KCC then reviews the reports and sends recommendations to three commissioners, who decide on the feasibility of rates.
KPI. REPORTED in January that earnings for 1976 ended with common stock trades.
Gas and electric rates have risen 91 per cent during the last three years, and KPI reported a 10 per cent profit increase. KPI increased its revenue and other Kansas communities.
Fred Bryan, division manager for KPL, said KPL had no control over gas prices because it had to pay its suppliers increased rates for wholesale material.
WHOLESALE IS material that has been bought from a producer, who sells raw materials on the floor. When then passed on to distributors, who can sell directly to their customers, KPL is a distributor.
Many of KPL's problems result from
Money given by KU Dames for WIA use
A service project of the KU Dames, a social organization for married students and their spouses, could help buy a trophy for Women's Intercollegiate Athletics (WIA).
A $7 donation to the KU Dames to WIA, probably will be used to build a trophy case for women's athletics, Pat Collison, administrative assist to the WIA director, said recently, because WIA doesn't have a trophy case now.
The donation, Sharon Munzo, president of KU Dames, said, is made annually to some of the 150,000 students.
"Our membership is now just women," she said, "and we've never supported an all-woman project before, so we thought it would be cool to show our support of women's athletics."
Although there now are no men belonging to the organization Manzo said, all married KU students, both male and female, are eligible for membemer in the KU Dames.
inflation, a high demand and a low supply of fuel, Bryan said.
"Prices have gone up to a large degree because of higher priced fossil fuels, such as oil, natural gas and coal," he said. "The wellhead price, or the price of fuel that comes from the producer, has gone up as well."
Sharply rising costs for coal, oil and natural gas also affect KPL electric bills because four electric generating plants that KPL owns use these fuels. Brvan said.
"OUR COSTS this year have climbed 14 per cent for coal, 13 per cent for oil and 59 per cent for natural gas. Because of our efforts to reduce emissions, passing on higher rates to the customer."
December rates in Lawrence were $20.73 per 500 kilowatt hours of electricity, Bryan said. The average cost for 1976 was $19.23 per 500 kilowatt hours of electricity. This increase largely comes from a high cost of mixing fuels, he said.
GAS BILLs for customers on KPL's main system were 45 per cent higher this January than a year ago. Under the emergency energy legislation passed by Congress last month, producers may charge up to $2.25 and cubic feet of natural gas until July 1.
This means that the increase will be passed along to the customers through retail rates. Before the legislation, the district would pay $1.42 per thousand cubic feet. Bryan said.
John Holt, supervisor of publications for Cities Service Gas Co., said Cities Service had experienced higher costs because of a fuel supplier to KPL. It is a major fuel supplier to KPL.
"OUR COMPANY is restricted because we can charge only what the Federal Power distributors charge, and they don't distributors." Holt said. "But we're having financial problems because producers aren't subject to the FPC, which means we're forced to pay higher prices for goods."
Although natural gas is the biggest cost of Cities Service, wages, salaries and construction costs must be considered, Holt said.
"Supplies have been scarce, and will probably continue to get scarcer. I'm sure producers have raised rates because of this." Holt said.

"I'm pro-feminism; women have been so oppressed in the last 2,000 years or more that it's about time that they do what they are doing." Lim said.

"I impose in the play Right on women; do what you have to do, but let's think of some other things."
There will be 475 seats at each of the performances.
“It’s kind of a bicentennial play,” he said. Act I shows where people were sexually in the late ‘60s, Lim said, and Act II shows the result of having been liberated by the sexual revolution. Lim is also the limo's projection of what lifestyles might be like as a consequence of the revolution.
LIM SAID the three-act play went through 2,000 years of sexuality.

The 50 piece orchestra, formed in September by lym Shornick, is open to anyone who wants to play it.
A new orchestra has been formed in Lawrence, unique because it consists of University of Kansas students and faculty members. The orchestra, never charging for performances,
HE'S BEEN organizing orchestras for eight years, but says this if the first time he's been the founder, music director and conductor.
"I've been aware for three or four years now, that a lot of people that wanted to play don't have a place to play there. They would probably not actually attend University, who wouldn't otherwise have a chance to play or they don't have the time to play for the University or the Lawrence Symposium."
So Shorrick gave these people a chance to play by organizing The New Phallomoria. He financed the initial costs, and within four years pulled together a 45 piece orchestra.
Sherrick has a bachelor and masters degree from RU and has been involved with the following organizations:
"This is the first year in seven years when I haven't conducted on Rock Chalk."
He was assistant conductor of the University Symphony from 1972 to 1973 and associate conductor from 1974 to 1976. He conducted waitresses for the Pearl Ingram integrated orchestra and instructed the director for a children's opera here. "Maloole and the Fear Monster."
THE NEW PHILHARMONIA premieres at 8 p.m. March 6 at the high school, with a repertoire including Haydn, Mozart, Wasner and Debussy.
Shornick says the orchestra doesn't need balletheads, but just perform it when it's ready.
"A good performance is a joy but a bad
performance is just horrible to sit through,
be said."
They plan to perform again April 17,
preforming a new ballet score, and playing
their pieces at the annual Spring Festival.
The orchestra will probably play just in Lawrence for awhile, according to Shornick, but he hopes the orchestra can travel one day.
"IT TAKES security in performance and personnel before a group goes anywhere to meet you."

Casson said his company, not the
University of Kansas, would pay for building the new wall.
"We'll just have to take it off the top of our profits," he said.
CONSTRUCTION ON the new building, which replaces Green Hall, began in March, 1975. Casson said he wasn't sure when the construction had started.
"I think we started in March, didn't we, Jim?" he asked. "I think we had 470 days to complete the project—I don't know for sure."

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administers the funds, which the county has received the past two years.
Douglas County lost $400,000 in federal community development funds because of a system used to rate applications. Ernest Brown told the reporters that he said yesterday. Coleman told the county commissioners he didn't know until yesterday that the rating system had been changed this year. He said that it was too likely to supply all funds had been allotted.
The county's proposal was given 55 points by the board, but it was not approved, stemmed at least 17 for approval.
The county has received nearly $500,000 the past two years and has started programs that may suffer without the training. Wintenlight, county commissioner, said.

About $115,000 is to go for water service improvements. The loss of the grant may hurt cities like Baldwin, which is having a shortage of water to its residents, Whitenight said.
Restoration projects on historic buildings in the county, including the Lawrence Arts Center and Elizabeth M. Watkins Community Museum, were begun with earlier grants and were to receive $50,000 from this year's allocation.
for continuation of a countywide housing rehabilitation project begun in 1978 when the county received its first community development grant. The project was continued last year and was supposed to provide funds for the rehabilitation of 100 Douglas County homes this year and next year.
HUD's action was a rejection of the county's preapplication. Applicants were first screened through the preapplication process. Those who pass that stage may then submit final applications, subject to modifications.
