Off-campus students may want
to bundle up and turn down their
thermostats a little to compen
sate for the approved increase in
Lincoln Electric System's monthly
rates beginning January 1D85.
Julian Brix, a spokesman for
LES, said the 2.5 percent increase
is well below the projected in
crease of 4.5 percent made a year
ago. Brix also said the rate in
creases during the past four years
have approximated the rate of
inflation during those years, with
an increase of 16.5 percent in
1931, an 8 percent hike in 1932
and 1083 and a 5.5 percent in
crease in 1084.
Breaking down the cost
analyses of rate schedules, Brix
said, the winter rate, residential
block will remain at the 3-cent
rate of last year.
"No increase is seen here," Brix Bill Schaffer, an LES residen
said, "due to lowering fuel costs tial customer, voiced the only
both in the area of transporta
tion as well as the coal contracts
themselves."
Brix said the present $3 credit
given to small users or customers
using less than 100 kilowatt hours
per month in the summer will
increase to $3. 1 5. A kilowatt-hour
is the amount of electrical energy
consumed when 1,000 watts are
used for one hour. Credit given to
customers in the 300 to 450 kwhs
per month consumption block
will go from $1.50 to $1.55.
As far gs typical impact to
the customer, Brix said, the
average customer who uses
around 675 kwhs per month will
see a monthly increase on their
bill of about $ 1 . Those with slightly
higher consumption, 750 kwhs
per month, can expect a $1.27
monthly increase. The small use,
around 250 kwhs consumed per
month, will only pay an extra 47
cents each month.
opposition at the Monday night
hearing in protest to the higher
cost per kwh the small user had
to pay incompartson to the cus
tomer averaging 000 or more kwhs
a month. According to Schaffer,
small users pay 5.5 cents per
kilowatt which is 83 percent higher
than the 3 cent per kilowatt rate
charged to customers in the 900
hour block.
LES rato department su
pervisor, Phil Euler was present
to defend the reasoning behind
this situation.
Euler said anyone in the large
consumption block is most likely
having to heat with electricity
and the rate given to them is
appropriate for the constant heat
ing service.
"Our rates are designed to fit
the grand majority of our custo
mers," Euler said.
The Lincoln City council voted
six to one in favor of approval for
the rate schedule for 1085. Coun
cil member Hoffman opposed the
rate increase.
Y-Pals. . .
Continued from Page 1
"I had some friends who had
one (Y-Pal)" Dary! said, "I guess I
wanted one, too."
Jim said he volunteered for Y
Pals because he thought it would
be interesting and mostly be
cause he likes kids. So, he got an
application, some references, and
applied to be a Y-Pal.
"It's great," Jim said. "It's a
really good experience and it
makes you feel good."
Communication is the most im
portant thing in a Y-Pal relation
ship, Gaither said. Many of the
children involved with Y-Pals have
special needs, she said, so having
a mature friend to talk with helps
the kids a lot.
"It seemed like we had a hard
time talking with each other at
first," Jim said.
But, as Daryl has grown up,
they've learned that talking with
each other is much easier, Jim
said.
"I've even let him know my per
sonal problems," Jim said. "He's
been there for me, too."
Daryl said Jim and he are pretty
much like brothers. Daryl calls
Jim almost every day. Or some
times he rides his bike over to
Jim's and waits for him to come
home from school
Daryl also said Jim'3 parents
are, "kinda like second parents."
They both visit each others' homes
and know each others' families
well, Jim said.
When asked what Daryl arid he
think of each other, Jim laughed.
Daryl said. "He
he likes to joke
"That's him,"
laughs a lot
a
U UU1IU.
Jim answered with, "he's a
pretty good, no a really great kid
usually."
Daryl says he plans to go to col
lege someday just like Jim.
And, he said, he loves computers
and math, and wants to study
computer science. But wherever
they go, Jim says, they hope to
stay in touch, always.
"I hope that someday I can
come back to visit and to go to his
graduation," Jim said. "Well go
out and have some fun."
Gaither said Y-Pals is always in
need of volunteers especially
for boys and teen-age girls. For
more information about Y-Pals
