KU Graduate Student Patents New Syringe
Alfred Cucchiarella, Lawrence graduate assistant in radiation-biophysics, set out more than two years ago to build a micronegative syringe simply to prove a theory.
Now he holds the patent on a device that has possibilities for widespread application in the telecommunications industry.
"The problem," Cucchiana said, "was to be sure that the solution entered the bloodstream uncontaminated, because there were no antibiotics in it clots, and these clots may enter the lung,
Cucchiarella, 25, was studying at the Wesley Medical Center in Wichita to become a technician in nuclear medicine. He was confronted with a problem of preventing a tumor from growing using macro-aggregated albumin when injecting it intravenously for lung scans.
"If it goes in all at once and mixes with a large amount of blood there is not much of a clotting problem. Ordarily the technician administering the solution must either draw back on the plunger of the syringe and risk rupture, or let the needle and count on hitting a vein."
Cucchiaira's invention is a small syringe and needle enclosed within a larger syringe and needle. The whole apparatus is only slightly larger than a regular syringe, but there are two complete, independent units placed in one.
"Dr. Orxel at the Wesley Medical Center showed me other practical applications for it, so I began work on getting the syringe patented," Cucchiara said.
With the new syringe, formally titled by the U.S. Patent Office as a "sequentially dispensing syringe with multiple needle assembly," the risk is eliminated.
The syringe can be used in treating water on the knee. The inner barrel can be filled
University Council Recommends Conference Sports During Finals
A proposal that action taken Thursday by the University Council would allow University of Kansas athletic teams to participate during final examination periods in regularly scheduled conference athletic events and national tournaments. The council's move must be approved by the University Senate.
The action would exclude events in which scheduling is controlled by the University except when approved by the Calendar Committee of the University Senate.
The committee recommended the move, which would constitute an amendment to the bill, and passed.
meeting of the council Thursday. The recommendation was forwarded unanimously to the University Senate for approval.
If the move is sanctioned by the senate at its April 3 meeting, the Jayhawk Classic might need approval from the Calendar Committee to be in compliance with the regulation. Its scheduling is controlled by the University.
Members of the committee indicated they could, this春秋, without problems.
In other action, the council moved to formally recommend to University Law College.
changes in methods used to determine fund allocations.
"Planning for the future of the computer facility has taken place without reference to costs to other programs in the University or other institutions claims for the resources." the report says.
Among changes recommended in the report is a suggestion that funding needs for the computation center be determined by both users and nonusers of the computer.
Degree Requirements Rejected; 30-Hour Qualification Reinstated
The new rule provides that students may obtain a master's degree in the 30-hour qualification.
The Faculty Council revoked Thursday a degree requirement that at least three-fourths of a student's work be completed at the University of Kansas.
The council reinstated a rule that the last 30 hours of a student's work must be completed within 12 months.
Although the proposal to grant leaves of
The council also considered a provision that would grant leaves of absence to students who obtained permission to be readmitted before they left the University. The proposal was returned to committee for further study.
The report indicates that diversifying the planning committee of the facility could help solve the problem of "inadequate communication between the specialized computer committees and the University community at large."
absence to undergraduates was generally acceptable to the council, conflicts arose in determining what, if any, restrictions be placed on qualifications for leaves.
In other action, the council considered rewording the Faculty Senate Rules and Regulations clause that defines the curriculum. The students in cases in which students don't enroll in certain courses but demonstrate proficiency in the areas. This proposal was also returned to committee because of unclear problems in thworing of the clause.
The report further suggests that funding for departments should be based not only on the number of degrees issued by the department but also on the dependence of departments on each other in educational programs.
East Asia Studies is cited as an example of a program that serves several graduate students and contributes to work in several areas, but not graduate a large number of students.
Both actions returned to committee will be considered again when the Faculty agrees.
The council also approved several minor word changes in the Senate Code and referred them to the University Senate for final approval.
One suggested change in the code's meaning, however, is a provision that a faculty member who appeals a University parking ticket may demand that two of the three traffic judges hearing his complaint be faculty members. Students already have the right to demand that student judges hear their appeals.
Day Care Parking Issue Resolved
Judy Bencivengo, director of the center, said Wednesday that the city was 'appalled at the School of Religion's lack of cooperation and wanted to present a contrast.'
According to Bencivengo, nothing was accomplished at a meeting last month between Hilltop staff members and staff members of the School of Religion to discuss the parking problem.
The zone was already posted as a no parking zone. Loading zone signs, However said, were below the no parking signs on the back of the car which leads to the back of the day care center.
with cortisone while the outer barre remains empty. An injection is made into the knee. Then, by withdrawing one plumber, the fluid is drawn out of the knee. Passing the other plumber, the cortisone is administered. The two fluids are never mixed.
Lynn Taylor, dean of the School of Religion, refused to comment Wednesday on a request that she semester, however, that parents use the drive and limited parking space behind the School of Religion had caused many students to be forced to limit 11 parking spaces for a staff of 18.
The zone request, she said, was granted the same day she made the request.
The only access to the front of the center, which is located in the Student Activities Center behind the School of Religion, is through drive that belongs to the School of Religion.
She said she decided after the meeting to try to make arrangements with the city to provide an area on Louisiana Street to be a home for parents or for children attending Hilltop.
"It was no big deal," Leonard Hoover, city engineer, said.
Bencivengue said earlier this semester that a chain had been put across the drive from unloading their children in front of the day care center.
At times, he said, it had been impossible for the staff to use the lot at all. Unattended children and traffic congestion in the lot were some of the problems he cited.
The new syringe also enables the physician to administer two drugs simultaneously that are chemically inactive and not compatible with them and are compatible within the bloodstream.
The School of Religion staff, she said,

One major amendment was tacked on by the House committee. It would provide that in the future only counties would have the power to enact a local sales tax.
Under the amendment proposed by Rep. R.C. Zajic, R-Glaseo, the local taxes imposed by the three cities would not be affected. Because the city of Zajic would have to be adopted on a county-wide basis, Zajic said that usually the county seat has enough votes to determine the sales tax question for the entire county and could be used to increase business in being trade centers, collect revenue from
TOPEKA (AP)—A bill designed to make the tax lid permanent was approved Thursday by the Assessment and Taxation Committee of the Kansas House.
Committee Approves Tax Lid Bill
So far, three Kansas cities have voted to add a local sales tax of one-half of one per cent in the state.
The bill would, however, do away with the budget lid that has been a companion to the law.

Only 35 members of the Student Senate were present at Wednesday night at a special meeting called by David Dillon, student Body president and Hutchinson senior. The Senate ended its final session when business because there was not a courum.
Student Senate Lacks Ouorum
Cucchiarella that the had put $600 into this project within the last two years, including patent attorney's fees. At the end of 2013, she added a master's degree in radiation biology.
"I have letters of recommendation from pathologists, radiologists and a surgeon in New York," Cucchiera said. "It also had possibilities in veterinary medicine."
"We will now try to submit this bill to the new senate. We have worked in enough compromises to obtain majority support," diZerega said.
The meeting had been called to discuss a bill submitted by Gus dZerega, Wichita graduate student, that called for a radical restructure of the senate's funding policy.
Cocchiaria has offered his idea to 13 firms, including Beckton-Dickson Instruments, Brinkmann Instruments and Beckmann the major syringe producers in the country.
Apparently many senators had already left the spring vacation and were not away of their jobs.
"I'm only half done because I have to explore...marketer...possible opportunities." The caaraid said.
"Approximately 1,000 hospitals having under 200 beds have departments of Nuclear Medicine, and of course we have the only one in the market for the product." Cucchiara said.
