Solar power forecast clouded by 1980 conference notes
A Topeka solar energy conference in 1980 tempered optimism about solar power meeting national energy needs within two decades. Kansas University and Lawrence officials attended, while Lawrence teachers sought an 11.46 percent pay raise and the school board offered 9.53 percent. The Clinton Lake plan remained valid for land use decisions into 1981 with fine tuning needed for full operation. In university news, Kenneth Smith, a veteran bass-baritone, was named professor of voice and department chair at KU, replacing Joseph Wilkins who reached 65.
