Refinery blazes in KC
KANSAS CITY, Kan.—A fire touched off by a massive explosion in a large storage tank burned for almost 12 hours and caused an undetermined amount of damage yesterday at the Phillips Petroleum co. refinery in the Fairfax Industrial District.
The blast ripped through the 42,000-gallon tank about 12:18 a.m., throwing a wall of fire nearly 500 feet into the air and sending shock waves felt 15 miles away.
Flames boiled out of the tank, which contained 630,000 gallons of natural or light gasoline, a blending ingredient used in motor oils.
About 100 Phillips employees and 40 Kansas City, Kan., firemen fought to contain the blaze, which burned itself out about 11 a.m.
no one was injured.
Investigators said the cause of the fire hadn't yet been determined.
Killer's execution delayed
SALT LAKE CITY—The Utah Supreme Court issued a stay of execution yesterday for convicted killer Gary Mark Gilmore, despite two requests by the court to release him.
The court didn't specify the length of the delay which was requested by two court- appointed attorneys.
The court said it would review the case before deciding the length of the stay. The court also had to hear Monday.
Gilmore was convicted last month of slaying a Provo motel clerk July 22 and is charged with the slaying of a service station attendant July 21.
Gilmore, who has spent 18 of his 35 years in penal institutions, said he wanted to face the firing squad next Monday rather than spend the rest of his life in prison.
Senate study continues on Events group authority
By SANDY DECHANT
A Student Senate committee study into the authority of the University Events Committee raised many questions last night but failed to provide any final answers.
The Student Rights, Responsibilities and Privileges Committee met last night with three members of the University Events Committee to assess the Events Committee's jurisdiction.
The controversy on the committee's authority arose in mid-September when two men playing guitars on campus were asked by University police to move because they didn't have the Events Committee's permission to play.
SHE SAID THAT people who wanted to hold an event on campus were requested but not required to approve it with the University Events Committee.
If the request is for an area and time when there is a strong possibility that someone will be disturbed, the committee advises against the event, Smith said.
She said that if a group whose event was approved with the committee encountered problems with the police because a community would interfere, the group would intercede on the group's behalf.
If the group ignored the denial of its
request and was arrested, the Events Committee wouldn't intercede. Smith said.
She said that complaints were filed by private citizens with the KU Police Dept., which investigated the problem. The Events Department investigated the problem before it starts, she said.
Smith said that if the guitarsist had checked with the Events Committee before they played on campus, the committee would have a greater possibility that they would disturb classes.
KATHY HOGGARD, Events Committee member said that the committee didn't mind.
"We may deny approval, but we do not enforce anything." Hogger said.
However, members of the Events Committee said that the only people to whom the committee had been responsible were the Chief Justice and Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor.
The Student Senate committee study was began in late September because the Senate Rules and Regulations put the Events Committee under its jurisdiction.
STEVE McMURRY, the Senate committee chairman, said that it mattered little whose jurisdiction the Events Committee was under. He said the Senate committee was more concerned with an understanding of the committee and its relation to the University.

McMurray said the committee would meet next week to continue discussion of the next steps.
Committee rehashes move of annual KU-MU game
Although the committee discussed the reasoning and the future of the possible future of this project.
"It doesn't look like a reality at this point," she said.
Jill Grubbish, chairman of the sports committee, said that she thought the issue
The possibility of the game's move was first disclosed at an Oct. 29 meeting of the Student Senate, when the Senate passed a resolution expressing its opposition to such a proposal.
The issue of a possible move of the annual University of Kansas—University of Missouri football game to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., resurfaced last night at a meeting of the Student Senate Sports Committee.
SINCE THAT time, some board members of the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation (KUAC) who had been discussing the game's possible move with MU officials were suddenly unable may have seriously jurorized a decision yet, no completed proposal has been made.
SHE SAID THAT although no decision has been made by KUAC on the possible move, because of adverse public reaction, it didn't look as if the move would *e*-made.
Dave Shapiro, a student member of the KUAC board, said that because of opposition at MU toward the move and because Lawrence merchants would lose a substantial amount of business if the game weren't played at Lawrence, it appeared that the game wouldn't be moved to Kansas City. Mo.
The reason for the possible move, according to Grubaugh, was basically that of money. She said she had been told the intake of money from the game each year would double if the game were moved to Arrowhead Stadium.
ALSO DISCUSSED at the committee meeting was intramural guidelines now being written by the Senate Recreation Advisory Board.
Shapiro said the board was trying to organize guidelines for eligibility requirements, expulsion of participants and matters concerning the intramural program.
He said the board was considering the creation of a judicial board comprised of nine members.
"The people participating in the sport will be overrun themseleves." Shanion said.
The advisory board will meet to continue its work on the intramural guidelines at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the Oread Room at the Kansas Union.

CHICAGO (AP) — The deterioration of the nation's troubled central cities can be stopped if Jimmy Carter puts the full weight on state and federal strategy, by city mayor; puts said yesterday.
Mayors say Carter can ease city woes
The mayors said they supported creation of an Urban Development Bank, federal reorganization to reduce the paperwork enawaes city halls and more money.
Representatives of President-elect Jimmy Carter and Vice President-elect Walter Mondale the mayors' shopping mall in line with much of Carter's thinking.
The U.S. Conference of Mayors yesterday concluded a two-day brainstorming session on priorities to present Congress and Carter. Conference officials said they were seeking a meeting with Carter to discuss their urban plan.
CONFERENCE PRESIDENT Kenneth Gibson of Newark, N.J., said the proposed National Urban Investment Program earned its title because of "the return" the nation would receive through urban recovery.
It was Carter's help and that of the Democrat controlled Congress that the mayors were actively seeking by meeting here so soon after Carter's election.
The Urban Development Bank, part of the plan, would be modeled after the World Bank, which extends low-cost aid to foreign nations. It would provide loans to businesses and to cities for economic projects.
Mayor Abraham Beame of New York expressed confidence that Carter would be a successful leader.
"There was no deal, except we needed to do for the cities what President Ford should have done, but did not." Beame, who served as governor during his city's financial crisis, said.
to the mayor's initiative. He said Carter's concern was "real, not a political payoff."
None of the 100 mayors meeting in Chicago expect Carter to adopt their entire plan. They said what they were looking for was for Carter "to set a tone of concern" similar to that set by Lyndon Johnson in pressing civil rights issues during the 1960s.
French soldier is shot by dog; no charges filed
LUNEVILLE, France (AP)—A French soldier was slightly wounded in the shoulder Friday by a rifle shot triggered by a dog, police said.
The dog belonged to a 17-year-old hunter who was firing from an upstairs window of his home at practice targets he had set up in the garden.
The dog, apparently excited by the shooting, jumped up and touched the trigger as his master prepared to fire again. The dog took a member of a passing army platoon.
British official heads home
GENEVA (AP)—British conference chairman Ivan Richard flew home to London late yesterday to consult on how to prevent stalemated talks on Rhodesia's future from collapsing into a guerrilla war solution.
The police said yesterday that they were satisfied the shooting was an accident, and the police had no reason to believe it.
Richard said he was "not at all despondent." But the conference appeared locked in. "We have a great deal of faith,"
A spokesman said Richard would return today to try to set up another working day.
Richard met separately during the weekend with leaders of the conference's five delegations. But he failed to win support for a proposed March 1, 1978, deadline on achieving black majority rule in Rhodesia, a rebel British colony.
A spokesman said Richard couldn't make contact with representatives of the five black African countries: Angola, Zambia, Tanzania, Botswana and Mozambique. The presidents of those countries met in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, over the weekend and are likely way for Rhoeasian blacks to gain power through continued guerrilla war.
The black Rhodesian nationalist leaders refused to consider the proposed British deadline or to side-step the issue and go on to other matters. The blacks maintain that Rhodesia is 278,000 whites must give up their positions by November and less than 12 months. The Rhodesians whites have refused to compromise much below a two-year minimum transition period.
