Docking Says State Leads In Utilizing Satellite Facts
Kansas is one of the first states to make extensive use of satellite data, Gov. Robert Docking told the Conference on Space Age Academy at the University of Kansas Thursday.
The KU Space Technology Center and the $500,000 federal grant money provided to researchers at KU, Kansas State and the Kansas Geological Survey provide evidence of the leading position Kansas is taking in the use of space data, Docking said.
The two-day Conference of Space Age Technology is being sponsored jointly by the governor's office and the KU Space Technology Center in an attempt to acquaint Kansas agency heads, regional planners and businessmen with possible applications collected by the first earth resources technology leaders in science, government and business from Kansas are attending the conference.
Bill Barr, director of the KU Space Technology Center, said the purpose of the project was to test the system.
The ERTS satellite, launched last July and orbiting the earth at an altitude of 500 miles, can detect water and air pollution, and can measure ozone in the atmosphere, as well as perform a variety of other tasks.
identify problems of their own institutions which might be solved with the use of ERTS data. As examples, he pointed to problems associated with pollution photographs, such as pollution of Lake Champlain by a paper mill and the danger of acid and other waste products close to the river.
Later in the day, the conference heard details of projects being undertaken and under consideration in Kansas. Highway design, wheat disease and strip-mine reclamation studies are presently under way.
Barr encouraged the group to think of other problems that might use ERTZ data and offered the services of the Space for helping to collect and evaluate information.

Connally Foregoes Steak, Pledge
By C.C. CALDWELL
Kansan Staff Writer
Texas Democrat John B. Connally, widely publicized as a potential candidate for Republican party membership and for the Presidency in 1976, spoke Thursday night in the Kansas Union to a capacity dinner crowd.
Connally's motorcade arrived at the south entrance to the Union. The lights and sirens of his police escort provided a noisy conundrum for the crowd, as Republican crowds awaiting him inside.
The occasion for the visit by former Secretary of the Treasury Connally was the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce's annual banquet, held in the Union Ballroom. Reding Chamber president Odd Williams presided during a brief welcome before the event.
Connally, a cattleman, declined the main course of the steak dinner. He later explained in a news conference that he had not been acting in support of the spreading meat boycott, but that he made it a practice not to eat before making a speech.
Connally also declined to make any statement about his political future. The governor said he would like the dimer heightened speculation that he would make a major political statement but, he denied any such possibility because he was denied by private aircraft in Topeka earlier.
As Williams was concluding the main body of his speech, a projection screen was lowered in front of the speakers' table and turned up. He showed slides of outgoing Charlberh officials.
After the meal, Williams spoke of the Chamber's role in Lawrence within the past year and recalled the accomplishments of the group during the time of his presidency.
Among the group of outgoing committee
chairman and retiring directors heralded in the slide presentation three professors from the University of Kansas: Martin Dickinson, professor of law and dean of the School of Engineering; and Jan Rockam, professor of aerospaces engineering.
Brand commented upon the past year and discussed the Chamber's plans for 1973-74, which include a series of six meetings nationally and internationally famous speakers.
After Williams' presentation and description of "the people behind the success story" of the Chamber, the manager was new president, Jack Brand, was introduced.
Williams then returned to the podium to introduce Gov. Robert Docking, who in turn presented the special guest and speaker, Connally.
Connally said that Sen. Bole Dole, R-Kansas, had called him Thursday morning to convey his intentions to attend the dinner. Connally added that pending legislative matters had evidently precluded the senator's attendance.
Prominent executives from Kansas,
Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas were among
them.
The Chamber's banquet meeting adjourned after Connally's conclusion to a largely optimistic speech about the nation and its future:
"What system is better? Where would you go? What would you do?"
"We worry too much about these (party) labels," Connally parried.
Newsmen thrust the half portion of that question back at Connally in a brief conference involving questions regarding his political plans.
Council Wants
Anticipated competition for parking space around Summerfield and Wescoe home is expected to be completed, is hoped to be lessened by making the parking designation less
pay raises next year. The raises are a result of recent regulation which raised the status of certain pay increases.
(Continued from page 1)
The color code system, which currently lumps three or four letter-designated areas into certain colors, will entirely replace the letter system of granting parking permits if it is deemed to be more convenient. It was suggested to allow more variability in parking possibilities for permit holders.
--tickets, it did suggest that fines be removed from certain minor violations if the actions are corrected within seven days of the violation. Such violations include those dealing with improper display or absence of registration and permit stickers.
