"When I put it up in the Union, I got a lot of venomous comments," he said. "People object to the idea of a human being spending time building something that was done 70
Wessel's future plans for such machines depend on the success of his flight today. He'll soon be flying another mission.
"I hope the sun shines and the wind blows from the north," Wessel said. "Sounds kind of exciting."
Iranians Plan Class Boycott To Protest Deaths of Students
Members of the Iranian Students Organization plan to boycott classes today in protest of the deaths of students during demonstrations at Iranian universities, spokesmen for the group said in a press conference Thursday.
"We are urging the Iranian students and all others concerned with democracy to boycott classes to protest the deaths," said a member who preferred to go unmapped.
The association is outlawed in Iran, and members who attend foreign universities may face a three- to 10-year jail sentence when they return home, a spokesman said.
The association said that 30 students had
been killed since March 8 at three Iranian universities during demonstrations protesting the United States' $2 billion sale of arms to that country.
The students said they were sending telegrams to the Iranian prime minister and the Iranian ambassador to the United States. The telegrams urge the end of a blackout in the country and the release of students being held by the regime.
The spokesmen said that there were 10 official chapters of the association and 50 groups connected with it at universities in the United States. They said all of these groups planned some sort of of protest for today.
Singles in a couple's world are gaining both in numbers and consciousness, panelists said at the final Human Sexuality Seminar presented by the KU Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) Thursday night in the Kansas Union.
Singles Are Gaining, Panel Saves

The topic of the seminar was "So You're a Single in a Couple's World." The informal panel moderated by Janet Sears, assistant to the dean of women, consisted of single women and couple problems, frustrations, interests and experiences in a world dominated by couples.

Panelsists included Richard Moore, Lawrence senior; Mary Mitchellian, Baxter Springs senior; Frank Bencivengo, Lawrence senior; and Cal Grant, associate professor of law.
Remote Sensing Lab Sponsors KU Course
Bencivigo was married for eight years and has been living alone for nearly two years. He has a six-year-old child who lives with his former wife.
The panelists opened with remarks favorable to single life. The greatest reward each said they felt was freedom and joy to live in single life which might be lost in marriage.
"As a single person I have freedom to function on my own schedule whenever I want to," Bercvencio said. "I can eat when I'm hungry, drink when I'm thirsty, and mormonize without answering to anyone."
Nearly 10 per cent of the population of the United States never marries, Sears said. She equated this figure with the U.S. bark population percentage but said singles did not have the visibility that other minorities enjoyed.
Sears also is divorced after six years of marriage and lives with her daughter,
Responsibility is not diminished for single persons, the panelists said, for there is still
The International Club elected its 1973-74 officers Thursday and unanimously adopted a resolution condemning recent activity of the university professor of electrical engineering.
Twenty five University of Kansas seniors and graduate students are taking a course under the sponsorship of the Remote Sensing Laboratory of the Space Technology Center and Center for Research, Inc. The course has no prerequisites, but it attracts students from the geography and geology departments and from the School of Engineering.
Internationals Pick Officers Charge Prof
The resolution charged that Unz had misused signatures obtained from representatives of the national groups, had violently attacked a foreign student and had beckoned several International Club programs.
"We find it deplorable that a professor of this University should resort to the many disruptive and immature tactics used by students who have failed, resolutely condemn these undemocratic acts and charge the newly elected officers of the International Club with the responsibility of deciding in the Executive Council how to deal with this matter through the proper channels."
Unz was unavailable for comment after the meeting.
Farhad Amidi, Iran sophomore, was elected president; Mona Hammam, United States president; Mike Fung, Hong Kong graduate student, treasurer; Lourdes Goveia, Venezuela graduate student, secretary; and Wichita graduate student, social chairman
The instructor is Fawwaz Ulaby, professor of electrical engineering.
According to one of the course instructors, Louis Dellwig, professor of geology and associate director of the Remote Sensing Laboratory, the course deals with radar theory and application, aerial photography and infrared scanning,

"Although the University is a singles, environment, I felt the couples' world pressures when I lived in a sorority," Michelson said. "All the activities were geared for dates and I felt the pressure to pair off was frustrating."
RECREATION & TRAVEL
Sociological pressures seemed to be the greatest problem facing each panel member. They said that singles were excluded too often from functions designed for
The panelists also said families placed pressure on single or divorced relatives.
"There were a lot of family pressures connected with my divorce because I am Catholic," Bencivengo said. "I am the man my family now because I am not married."
Stereotyping of family life and single life was the most difficult obstacle to overcome, the panel members said. Two panelists live on the island and said their relationships were normal.
"I have the chance to relate to my son in ways most males are unable to," Grant said. "I have a much better relationship than most children do with two parents."
The panelists said certain values from outside marriages needed to be gained in
order to break down the stereotyping of single and married roles. The first area of attack should be on activities and housing labeled for singles, the panelists said.
"I resent being singled out as a single person, and I do not label myself as such." Grant said. "I have never liked going to cater to one age or marriage group."
The panelists did not advocate elimination of intimate relationships between couples, but they supported the elimination of the dependence on the female partner in the interaction between married and single persons needed to be revived they said.
