KU gets $8.5 million
KU received grants and contracts for research and associated graduate training projects totaling $8,549,554 for the fiscal year ending July 1.
The Medical Center in Kansas City received an additional $5 million.
The Lawrence total was more than $900,000 over the 1965-66 total. This brings the 1962-67 total to more than $30 million.
Projects paid for by these grants include: the extant languages and dialects of a disappearing Indian dialect used in the northwestern United States and British Columbia; the development of a tenth grade course in agricultural geography; an invention of the social problems of lower-class Indian children in rural and urban schools; and research on the structure, properties, and origins of materials in space and on the properties of energetic chemicals for rocket propellants.
Develop music
One grant will help strengthen and broaden courses to develop musicianship. Another works to improve institutes for teachers of American Indian students.
Grants helped buy equipment, such as a Raman spectrometer with a laser source, and undergraduate study materials, such as a microprint edition of source materials in the history of science involving three million pages of text.
Faculty members are working on ways to help professionals estimate the production potential of natural gas; on archeological investigations in France; and on the development of a curriculum materials center for children with learning disabilities.
Some faculty members are studying the teaching of composition skills by means of weekly multiple-choice tests instead of theme writing.
Grants make possible the offering of special courses in French, German, speech, and English at the Army Command and General
