fuel oil

The fuel oil shortage that has hit the Midwest will not
hamper operations at UNL. Off-campus students apparently
will not be left out in the cold either, according to both
University, and gas and oil company officials.
"We use number six fuel oil, while the shortages have been
in number two fuel oil and natural gas," said Ron Wright,
assistant director of business and finance. Number six fuel oil
has not been enough in demand to create a problem here, he
said.
The University buys its oil one year before it is used
through a competitive bid. This year the suplier is Milder Oil
Company. Deliveries of oil have been normal, and Wright
hasn't received word from the company of any intentions to
cut back. .
However, he added, UNL thermostats have been lowered
voluntarily from 73 degrees to 70 degrees.
Cengas provides the University with natural gas on an
interruptible basis he said. The University uses natural gas in
the summer when the demand is low. Then, in winter, when
gas is needed for homes in Lincoln, a change is made to fue
oil, Wright explained.
The major cause of the shortage problem, according to C.L.
Wilcox, division manager of Cengas, has been the cold weather.
Cengas' customers, who include a large majority of
homeowners in Lincoln, have had, and will continue to have,
full service all winter, he said.
The problem has been with businesses that buy natural gas
on an interruptible basis, Wilcox said. During cold spells, many
businesses must rely on number two oil, which is in short
supply, he said. , .
Cengas cut off natural gas for interruptible customers
during a two-week period at the beginning of December,
Wilcox said.
Oil companies in Lincoln have had problems meeting
customer demands because of monthly allotments based oh oil
usage last year. According to Richard Leet, vice president of
Amoco Fuel Oil Company, it is 30 per cent colder in the
Midwest this year than last, and more fuel is beinq
consumed.

ASUN president Bruce Beecher
Wednesday told the student Senate that the
Associated Student Ko-op would begin to
dispense identification cards "Monday or
Tuesday, we hope."
The Ko-op has long been in the works but
the actual implementation of the project has
been delayed.
The project was scheduled to go into
operation in early October, but, was delayed
by several factors.'
Apparently the biggest stumbling block
was incorporating the cooperative separately
from ASUN. Although incorpoation
procedures usually take only about two to
three weeks, the process delayed the Ko-op
throughout the first semester.
Also, according to Beecher, the machine
which will produce the
identificationmembership cards has arrived.
The cards can be purchased for $5 and
will entitle the holder to the Ko-op benefits
through August 15.
Those benefits include discount rates at
several local businesses, including H & A
Skelly, Runza Inn, ASUN Record Store, JB's
Big Boy, Schaak Electronics, Heads
Together, and Kramer's Greenhouse.
The Senate, meeting in the Nebraska
Union small auditorium, also approved the
constitution of the Community Legal
Education Project.
The Senate also
exception, of one
disciplinary code
accepted, with the
point, a student
drawn up by a
student- faculty committee. Sen. Bill
Freudenberg questioned some of the code's
language pertaining to the role of the
University.
The Senate voted to send that point back
to the Council on Student Life for
clarification.
