Gas cost not high according to reports

Porter said the heat, which is provided by the power plant, was sent as steam through pipes to most buildings on the main campus. The temperature within each building is controlled individually.
"Sometimes each room has a control, sometimes it's an area; it depends on the building." Porter said.
sato.
Porter said design and insulation made some of the newer buildings, such as Wescoe Hall, more heat efficient than some of the older buildings on campus.
Recently the off-campus demand for natural gas was so high that Kansas Public Service, in accordance with a prearranged agreement, severed KU's gas demand to normal.
Dick Perkins, associate director for utilities, said KU could switch to fuel oil when the demand for natural gas increased. This arrangement gives KU a lower rate for natural gas.

replaced or ousted. Members of the motor carrier industry support the bill. Increased taxes, however, will place a burden on small trucking companies, said Mary Turkington, executive director of the Kansas Motor Carriers Association.
Turkington testified yesterday that the association supported the bill and its financing method.
"The highway transportation industry recognizes that traditional user fees must bear the burden of such tax levies," she said. "We are willing to pay the phased-in fuel tax increases that eventually total seven cents per gallon.
"We will bite the bullet of the proposed registration fee increases."
Fees for vehicles registered for 80,000 pounds, such as tandem trailers, would increase $400 from $1,325 to $1,725. Fees for vehicles registered
Turkington called the increases substantial and said they would affect the farm-to-market members who are the largest segment of the association. Those members have been affected by the decrease in economy and will not be able to pass on the added costs to consumers, she said.

Lawrence gasoline retailers said that there was little that could be done if taxes were raised and that it would have some effect on consumers.
"It is something that nobody is looking forward to, but it's going to happen," said Lynn Potter, owner of Potter's 66, 23rd and Louisiana streets.
Potter said that he expected some reaction initially from the public but that it would not last.
AIDS attitudes must change study reports
The Associated Press
To solve this problem, the study called for a massive survey of the most intimate details of life in the United States.
WASHINGTON — The AIDS virus may become a permanent part of the U.S. scene, a report said yesterday, unless these most at risk change their sexual activities and drug habits.
Owners say safest thing to do is yield to robbers

Mulvenon also said that the robber's choice of a gun and his method of operation had been similar

Only one other pizza delivery robbery has been recorded in Lawrence in the past year.
Mulvenon said the number was about normal, but that the two robberies in the span of one week was unusual.
in all three robberies, the delivery driver had been given a false address.
address.
The robber told Rudy's Pizza to deliver to a brown truck in an alley. When the delivery man came to the
alley, an unknown white male with a black stocking over his head robbed him of his money.
Pizza Shuttle's robbery was similar. When the delivery man went to a house near 15th and Maple streets, two men were sitting in a car, and they called him over. They were wearing dark clothing, panthese over their heads and had a gun. They took an undisclosed amount of money, two Cokes and the pizza.
In the Pizza Hut robbery, police later found out that the phone number and the apartment did not match the name given to the dispatchers.
However, pizza restaurateurs say there isn't much they can do.
"We will warn them to try to be careful," said Robert Safarik, manager of Mazio's Pizza, 2630 lowa St. "We not going to train them in hand-to-hand combat. The safest thing they can do is yield."

easy, do what he says in the book.
Bob Laskey, owner of Pizza Shoppe, 601 Kasold Dr., agreed.
"Our philosophy is to give them what they want," he said. "It's not worth it. Our guys carry $20-$30 or less so that the temptation isn't there."
"There are certain places that we are more careful in delivering to, like the Towers."
Laskey said that delivering to the Jayhawker Towers and to alleys was
dangerous because problems had occurred there before. Delivery people had been harassed in the elevators of the Towers, for instance.
Ted Aila, manager of Domino's Pizza, 1445 W. 23rd St., said that they specially trained their delivery people.
"We train them for safety, security, every aspect of robbery possible," he said "We call back and verify. We show training tapes during orientation, have close contact with the police and are fully aware of the locale."
