Toasty chat with Carter sets mood
WASHINGTON (UPF)—In the first of his "fireside calls," President Jimmy Carter yesterday made a direct, televised report to the nation on his main policy goals and set the inspirational tone of his presidency by calling for dedication, sacrifice and unity.
Seated before a lighted fireplace in the White House presidential library, he warned Americans the road to economic and social health would require "dedication, perhaps even some sacrifice" and made pointed reference to the fact that, in his administration, the symbolic sacrifice started at the top.
Carter said much could be done to start the nation on the road to recovery, and—breaking little new ground—he offered this summary of his objectives:
- Gas shortages: He congratulated Congress for passing his short-term Emergency Natural Gas Act, noted he had already signed it, but said the nation's failure to devise a long-term energy policy will make it much longer to solve."
● Energy policy: Declared he has an April 20 goal for submitting to Congress his own long-term energy program. "Our program," he said, "will emphasize conservation and the use of energy which could be saved, is greater than the total energy we are importing..."
● Economic stimulus: He defended his
    yearly $21 billion tax cut and jobs
    proposal, including its $50 tax rebate for
    nearly every one, as "the best-balanced plan
    we can produce . . . It will produce steady,
    balanced sustainable growth.
**Jobs:** Carter said his quick-stimulus proposals for public service and public works employment "will not be make-work projects" and stressed the priority beneficiaries of his jobs proposals would be unemployed, Vietnam veterans.
- Tax rebates: He said the rebate feature, distilled by some members of Congress who favored emphasis on job programs, was the only quick, effective way to generate jobs and create those jobs." He predicted the rebate and lower standard deduction features of his package would reduce this year's income taxes by 30 percent for an average family of four, which he estimates is about $485.
- Conservation: He said he would support congressional efforts to pass strip mining legislation that would produce new energy resources while protecting the environment, and work for climate justice that would address climate banker spills."
No dates were set for these items.
- Tax reform: His advisers are already working with Congress to develop sweeping reform of the "arbitrary, complicated and unfair" tax system. No timetable or details, however, for what he indicated would be a long process.

Election to poll student opinions

Students who miss the whistle will have a chance to say so because of last night's事故.
The questionnaire also would include questions on student financial aid problems
The Senate voted to devise a questionnaire asking student opinions on resumption of the whistle, the closing of Jayhawk Blvd. to most traffic during the day and the addition of a refreshment area in Wadsworth. The Senate voted to abolish the Senate election ballots Feb. 16-17.
A list of the 227 candidates for the Student Senate elections Feb. 16-17 appears on page seven. Class officer candidates also are listed.
and the need for a one-hour credit course on use of the Library and other University of Chicago facilities.
The meeting, this Senate's last, was attended by only 59 of 106 senators.
At the four-hour meeting the Senate also allocated $4,159 to facilitate the opening of the Minority Affairs Center, originally scheduled to open last November.
Rodney Dennis, chairman of the Senate minority affairs subcommittee, which developed the center, a lack of organization within the subcommittee had delayed the request to the Senate for money to operate the center.
The center, to be on the third floor of the Kansas Union, would be the first coordinated effort between the three major American Americans and blacks. Demis said.
The Senate allocation will be used to purchase office equipment, office supplies and library supplies, to pay rent and utilities, and to sponsor speakers and activities of interest to minority students,
Dennis said.
The Senate also passed a petition recommending that a recently finished report on the improvement of graduate assistant teaching be sent to Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, and the school deans for "serious consideration."
The petition, prepared by the Senate Academic Affairs Committee, recommended changes in the selection, training, training teachers, teaching assistants and assistant instructors.
At halftime, with the number of Senators dwindling, the Senate passed a petition requesting Chancellor Anne Dykes to take the oath of office, famed the William Bailour Student Union.
The petition requests that all school deans return to Shankel, by April 1, their responses to the committee's recommendations.
Natural gas use resumes: oil use continues
Preliminary approval for the issuing of a maximum of $2.5 million in bonds for the satellite union, approved at a student loan agency in New York City on March 18, 2007 for Rentz of Rentzs at its Jan. 26, 2007 meeting.
The satellite union will be near Allen
House. Its completion date hasn't
been set.
In other action, the Senate petitioned Donald Alderson, acting vice chancellor for student affairs, to provide a centralized database of student files, passed a resolution suggesting that the newly elected Senate complete within a month and a half current efforts to provide a student private property insurance database to changes in the Senate Rules and Regulations.
Balfour, who will continue to teach physiology courses, resigned last May after more than eight years as vice chancellor for student affairs.

The University of Kansas returned yesterday to a half-and-half ratio of oil and natural gas used for heating KU buildings after six days of operating entirely on oil.
"The gas company possibly resumed supplying us natural gas because line pressure diminished," Perkins said. "We probably had to rely on oil of a kind with a day this resumption."
Richard Perkins, physical plant supervisor of buildings and grounds, said KU had received supplies from Kansas Public Service Gas Co. Inc. and been operating on 50 per cent natural gas since 11 a.m. yesterday.
SINCE JAN. 8, KU has been operating partially on oil, its reserve fuel source, and the University had run entirely on oil since 1990. It has also held private reserve fuel oil to last several months.
Carter's fuel measure says that higher prices received for natural gas bought during the emergency period wouldn't trigger huge price increases in gas sales.
Gov. Robert Bennett yesterday sent a telegram to President Jimmy Carter telling him he was opposed to transferring his position in the organization to the position of Kansans and Kansas state.
PERKINS SAID the temperature controlled how much oil and gas were used. For example, a 24-degree temperature may require 13,500 gallons of oil to heat KU, while
The big advantage of using natural gas instead of oil is financial. Perkins said.
0-degree temperature requires 18,000 gallons.
"It costs two to three times as much to produce steam heat by oil as by natural gas," he said. Steam heat is used for cleaning and the transportation of hospital equipment and cleaning."
Other factors are involved, of course," Perkins said. "Fuel consumption is affected by open windows, wind shift index, amounts of rain, snow and lightning on buildings, and sunny or overcast days."
when heating boilers get dirty it takes a lot of work to clean them. Oil is more difficult to handle and there are problems with it spilling. It's also more difficult to unload from trucks than gas."
Perkins said he didn't know when KU would return to 100 per cent natural gas usage.
OILY EQUIPMENT is harder to clean and tends to get messy, Perkins said.
"We'll be glad to get as much natural gas as the gas company will give us," he said. "One hundred per cent usage of natural gas can one know when KU will go back to that."
"Gas is much easier to maintain because

According to Mike Tarabolous, chairman of the Student Services Committee, the Senate no longer has the resources and time to examine the tutor, roommate and carpool files.
He said a "reasonable amount of response from the student body" to the files warranted the need for Alderson to consider centralizing files within the Office of Security.
After the meeting, Tedde Tasheff and Steve Owens, student body president and vice president, weren't sentimental—just glad it was over.
"I'm ready to drink," Tasheff said. Owens wished and said, "I don't know whether the whistle for classes will ever blow again, but we could certainly have used it to shut up some of our long-winded senators."
Stained glass tradition preserved
Bv RICK THAEMERT

In a dingy, dusty, three-room studio overlooking Massachusetts Street, three skilled craftsmans work to preserve and expand an age-old art form—stained glass.
On a clear day, sunlight rushes into the rooms and passes first through the faded studio windows and second through the panels of stained glass in the room, forming shadows of deep hues on the walls. The majesty of the colored windows appears in sharp contrast to their humble surroundings.
A young man leans over a drafting table covered with full-scale drawings of possible stained glass endearments. He is Dennis Perry, a graduate student at Art Glass, Inc., 868-834, Massachusetts St.
"It's a timeless art," he said, pointing to several tinted windows, lamps and mirrors in the room. "People like it because it offers a glimpse of what is going on inside beautiful in and of itself, as well as
something that is slightly out of the ordinary."
MAYGERS SAID stained glass, which is growing in popularity, no longer solely depended on large businesses and churches for its existence because many homeowners and small businesses were finding that stained glass is an accessible and functional art form.
Walking to the window, Maykers picked up a stained glass sign that read, "EXIT."
But, the nostalgia craze also hurts stained glass companies, he said, because consumers often sacrifice quality and originality for the sake of having some semblance of stained glass in their homes or offices, even if it's a plastic fiffle lamp.
"Nostalgia is one basis for the growing popularity of stained glass right now," he said.
DESPITE THAT fact, Maygays said business had been booming at Creative Art Glass, Inc., the only stained glass studio in the Lawrence area.
Since its founding almost three years ago, the studio has created several hundred stained glass articles for churches, restaurants, bars and homes nationwide.
Although the studio sells some already-made glass pieces to customers, 95 per cent of its business comes from custom orders. he said.
A 2' by 18' mural in the New Yorker restaurant, 1021 Massachusetts St., has been one of the studio's three creations. "I even have three lampshades in Schoenberg's a foreign exchange student took back with him," Maygers said, laughing.
WHEN AN ORDER is placed, Maygers said, he examines the site where the stained glass window or fixture will go and estimates the cost of $40 to $45 a square foot. 3' by 5' window, for example, costs about $8 barring special labor problems, he said.
Sex decriminalization bill's aim

TOPEKA—A state senator who thinks "the state has no business in the bedroom" said yesterday that he would soon introduce a bill that would eliminate criminal penalties for homosexuality, adultery, cohabitation and sodomy.

Kansas law currently classifies adultery, cohabitation and sodomy as misdemeanors. Homosexuality is punishable under the sodomy prohibition. Adultery would remain grounds for divorce in Kansas even if either's bill were signed into law, he said.
The senator, Elwainne Pomeroy, R-Topeka, said he would introduce a companion bill specifically prohibiting homosexual marriage.
The laws prohibiting certain sexual acts between two consenting adults are seldom, if ever, endforced. Pornoyen said, "but their sexual acts makes possible selective enforcement."
"The ridiculous thing about the cohabitation law is that we say it's illegal, yet under the right circumstances we elevate it to common law marriage."
two consenting adults what they can't do in their own bedroom." Pomeroy said.
Pomorye's bill also would amend a current law by defining prostitution as any sexual act for hire. Now, prostitution includes only sexual intercourse for hire.
Lawrence recently eliminated its cohabitation ordinance while revising the city code. Pomeroy other cities in Kansas had done the same "long ago."
Pomeryo就 he wrote the companion bill banning homosexual marriage to affirm the
Pomeroy's bills are nearly identical to two bills he introduced last year that passed the Senate but not the House.
traditional concept of heterosexual marriage.
"if legislators just sit back and think and consider the facts, my bills will pass easily," he said, but instead, "they'll probably think it's too hot an issue."
"Last year, I got a few letters from people who thought my bills were the 'last straw' in a permissive society, he said. "I got one call from a distraught woman who said that the only reason she was talking to me was because of the adultery laws, and that I shouldn't make it legal."
"I asked her if she wanted to see her woman in jail and she said no, so I carefully explained to her that adultery would still be grounds for divorce."
it's very important that it is an integral part of the party. The Mayers may, walking to the back room.
"Sainted glass is appreciated most in its final resting place, according to how well it works with its surroundings. It must be unobtrusive. It must not be as bold as to be a distraction," he said.
"Stained glass is interesting because it requires engineering ability," he said as he clamored up the long stairs to the studio. "Yet, it's also a very personal art form in that it can be coordinated with the client's wishes."
MAYGERS SAID that his clients were pleased with the high quality of the studio, whose reputation had spread almost solely to managers and players called the "whole ticket" to success.
in back room, where the stained glass is stored, several vehicle wooden crates held rows and rows of '3 by '3 panes. Milky whites, magendas, deep golds and togebrets in different colored walters formed part of a church in Texas or a bar in New Jersey.
Meyers held up a piece of blue glass to admire. As he placed it in the window, the color changed to deep purple. He explained that stained glass took on different shades in different lights, a property called dichroism.
"YOU ALMOST never get stained glass. It's always changing," he said, picking out a new brown and yellow piece of red lime oil when he placed it in the window.
Most stained glass is made from stirring and pouring colored metallic oxides into sheets of molten glass. Most of the glass the studio uses comes from West German churches and in recent floods it has included States have made it difficult to buy domestic glass.

"Can you imagine working at a place where they made this?" Maygers said, smiling proudly, "I can say that I'm smiling proudly, of red and yellow." Wow. let's stop and look at the one a while.
