Space Research Funded Despite Federal Cutbacks
Editor's note: This is the second story in a two-part series on the effect of reductions in grants for research at the University of Kansas.

The space technology programs have also seen a shortage of federal funds, but that has not hurt them in finding money to continue their research, according to B. G. Moore, director of the Center for Space Technology.
"None of the cuts have hurt us," he said. "There was one program that we dropped, but it was not a research program."
The federal government is so concerned with the space program being used for man's good on earth that if anything else there is more work for us to do, he said.
Barr said that a year and a half of flattening out of the grants, but now it was back on the upheaval. He said that the space technology lab did many more things.
"I THINK there is a misconception about what goes on out here," he said. "We do more than most people think. We have a lot of programs related to ecology and the environment."
He said that the money was still there to get, but the people who wanted research grants had to go out and work hard to get them.
"There is more competition and our people have had to go out and do a good job of running our programs. They evidently have because we probably have more work now than before."
Ross Copeland, associate director of the Child Research Center, said that the department of Child Research had not been hurt too much.
THE BUREAU of Child Research is unique in that the field is very tight and competitive. There are many more institutions now than there were ten years ago, but
He said that one reason for their continued success was that they were engaged in many long range projects, which were funded over a period of years.
He said the bureau started in 1968 with $50,000 and four researchers and now has more than 2% million and 270 researchers on three campuses.
According to Copeland, when federal grants began decreasing there was a need for a more diverse and flexible program. The regulations get tighter on how the money is allocated.
He said that many times the federal grants would leave provisions in their grants that the money was to be used for renting equipment but the state would rather it be used for building a new facility.
He also said that sometimes the federal government would approve an idea, but would not have enough money to carry it out. The federal government was more in line with the American people.
He said that one of the reasons that KU research programs were not suffering as much as some others was that they were well established and did good work.
"Once you establish a reputation it becomes easier to keep getting grants, particularly when the money gets tighter. The blue chip organizations will make it through."
He said that in the field of child research there weren't necessarily fewer dollars, but there were more people competing for the dollars and more research being done. The computer science department has been affected by the cuts in other areas as well as in the area of computer science.
ACCORDING to Paul J. Wolf, director of the computer center, many grants that go to the other departments have provisions for the purchase of computer time and wifi access.
"The first concern when you get a grant is that you have enough people to do the job. The second is whether you will have the equipment to do the job. Then if anything happens, you may lose your grant."
Trade Focus of Talks
U.S.-Japan Summit Planned
WASHINGTON (AP)—President Nixon will meet with the new Japanese Prime Minister, Kakuei Tanaka, in Hawaii Aug. 31 and Sept. 1 for talks aimed at bolstering relations between the two powers on the rim of the Pacific.
The U.S. and Japanese governments made the announcement in a brief joint statement issued Sunday night Washington time.
THEY ALSO will come 10 days after Nixon is to receive the Republican National Convention's nomination for a second term in the White House.
In the joint statement the countries said: "Prime Minister Kaukei Tanaka of Japan has accepted the invitation of President Richard M.尼克 to meet in
The talks, expected to focus on trade agreements, will come about two months after Tanaka's election as Japan's leader—and will follow by nearly 30 years the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and drown the United States into World War II.
Hawaii on Aug. 31-Sept. 1, for an exchange of views on relations between the two countries.
"The President will be accompanied by Secretary of State William P. Rogers and his assistant for national-security affairs, Henry A. Kissinger."
RESPONDING later to questions, presidential Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said the White House places a high value on U.S.-Japanese relations and that "we feel it is an appropriate time to meet with the prime minister."
The January meeting was intended to soothe ruffled feelings among Japanese leaders who were not consulted before the announcement of Nixon's trip to Peking.
Tanaka was elected this month by the ruling liberal Democratic party in Japan to succeed Eisaku Sato as prime minister. Nixon and Sato held three days of talks in San Clemente, Calif., in early January. Among other things, they set the date for an okuwa of Okinawa to Japan and established a Washington-o-toiko "hot line."
Laser-Guided Bombs Hit Targets in Hanoi
SAIGON (AP)—U.S. Air Force jet sweeps over Hanoi and wrecked the 32-acre supply deposits in the North Vietnamese capital, smashing at least 13 warehouses that supply with laser-guided bombs, U.S. military spoilsmen announced Sunday.
More than 30 of the 2,000-bomb bombs were beamed onto the facilities in the first strike on the island since the target bombing April 6, U.S. officials said.
Saturday, The Air Force said it lost no planes in the raids.
Less than 20 Air Force F4 Phantoms from a base in Thailand flew through heavy antiaircraft artillery and surface-to-air missile fire to carry out the strikes
also launched heavy strikes in the Hanoi-Haiphong heartland, attacking ship yards, fuel deposits, warehouses, bridges and docks. The Navy said it had no immediate reports of any of its planes being downed.
North Vietnam charged that the raids inside Hanoi and in surrounding provinces killed and wounded "a great number" of Vietnamese who were economic and cultural establishments.
Hanoi also claimed that seven U.S. planes were shot down. It said the pilot of a Navy BF Crusader was captured but did not release any mention of the fate of the other crewmen.
One U.S. official denied the North Vietnamese foreign ministry's charges that civilians were killed and nonmilitary targets attacked. He said Air Force pilots had been using explosives that the laser-guided bombs were "right on target" as they hit the supply depots.
The winter talks focused also on trade, as will the summer session.
Roofless Resurrection City Raised; 80 Protest Plight of Poor People
Navy pilots from the carrier Midway, striking in the Hanoi area, reported wrecking a bridge 15 miles south of the North Vietnamese capital.
Except for Canada, Japan is the United States' largest trading partner. Nikon's imposition last August of a 10 per cent surcharge on imports without advising Japanese leaders caused considerable unhappiness in Tokyo. The January elections are the strained relations and the talks in Hawaii appear to have the same goal.
ZIEGLER SAID the meetings in Hawaii will be a 'full range discussion' U.S. JUDGE SALOMON.
The precise site of the late-summer sessions was not disclosed. They could be held at any of the several U.S. military installations in Hawaii.
Another flight of Midway pilots left the Co Chau fuel pumping station 17 miles southeast of Hanoi in flames. Pilots said billowing black smoke rose to 700 feet.
Nixon's special representative for trade negotiations, Ambassador William Eberle, left for Tokyo on Friday for renewed trade negotiations after a farewell White House session. When asked whether the Hawaiian talks were arranged by Eberle, Ziegler responded that they were set through diplomatic exchanges.
Midway pilots also attacked supply trucks within a 40-mile radius of Hanoi.
Original plans for the city included setting up tents and establishing a more comfortable residence, but a city ordinance prohibited putting tents up in a city park. A county Dept. would not give the group permission to set up the city in Mill Creek Park.
Earlier this week the SCLC went to the Park Board with an alternative plan which eliminated the use of tents. The group agreed to use sleeping bags or to sleep on cots. The Park Board then gave their permission for the use of the park.
The U.S. Command said in all, Air Force, Navy and Marine fighter-bombers flew more than 350 strike across North Korea and the southern northern panhandle to the northern heartland.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Eighty poor people from Kansas City moved into Mill Creek Park, 47th and J. C. Nichols Parkway, Sunday to set up residence for six days in the nation's third Resurrection City.
"The project is two-fold," she said. "It is to give information to indicate the plight of the poor people to the affluent in Kansas and to give the poor people information and show them ways to cope with their problems when they return to their homes."
Chester White was elected mayor and Steve Deubery was elected city manager. Camps then chose four people to serve as councilmen.
Sponsored by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), the city is designed to be occupied by 150 people, and as the week progresses that many people should be encamped in the park, according to Emmanuel Cleaver, project director.
Sunday's activities were limited to moving in and setting up cots and sleeping bags, electing a mayor, city manager and city council, and meetings of residents.
A program has been planned for the rest of the week. Spokesmen from several public agencies will speak to the campers as well as many people running for public office this fall who hope to get the support of this faction of the city.
CLEAVFR said that most participants were members of the National Welfare Rights Organization. They represented a cross-section of the city's poor people. They were blacks and whites and men and women of all ages. There were several families with small children involved in the project.
Those participating were screened by SCLC officials and during the past week have gone through extensive training to identify staff members and for any trouble that might arise.
WHITE, a 30-year old black resident of Kansas City, said he would do the best he could to uphold the rules and regulations of Resurrection City 1972.
After the elections, people milled around the area talking with each other and several Vietnam Veterans Against the War, who will be serving as security guards during the week, newsmen and others were in the park. Campers held an informal song-dest to boost spirits and to get to know one another.
THE HIGHLIGHT of the week's activities will be an address by the Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy, head of the SLC and director of the 1988 Resurrection City in Philadelphia, who will speak at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Multiplier Facility at Lincoln and Flora streets.
"I'm only a representative of all the poor and oppressed people in Kansas City." White said. "I hope we can make our own known and educate our own people."

Gypseias and grizzled鸟ops and orphans with their belongings knotted in a red bandana on the end of a stick; these are often seen as emblems of travelling on the road.
Rvun Races Revealed
Jim Ryn, left, with KU track coach Bob Timmons at the Kansas Randas last year, will enter the mile run in an Olympic preparatory track meet in Toronto, Canada, Saturday. Today, Timmons said an abbreviated track meet to be held in
Lawrence later this summer is being organized. That meet will probably be Ryan's last before he leaves for the Olympics which open Aug. 28 in Munich.
But even people whose financial resources are more secure than those of a hobo and whose desire for comfort is stronger, can find adventure in August. Maybe they might be Denver, Colo., Madison, Wis., Santa Barbara, Calif., and Boston.
For people with cars but without gas money, riders to split gas costs may be found through college travel boards, such as the one in the Kansas Union, or through other advertising methods, as calling in to radio stations.
For people without cars, hitchhiking is still the least expensive way to go. But for anyone over 21 with enough money for gas, a car can be an excellent driveway company might be a good organization to consult. Through such firms, it is fairly easy to arrange to drive someone else's car cross country for them. Gas car ownership is even included in some of our plans.
GAS COS$ become progressively higher as one travels east from Kansas. Average costs per gallon in the East vary from $50 in going west, costs range from 34 cents up.
Youth stand-by airfare is still extremely expensive. A round-trip youth stand-by ticket from Kansas City to Denver costs $64; a round-trip ticket to Madison, Wisc., costs $70. To the coasts of the United States, airfares can increase creatively. To Boston, airfare round-trip is $140; and to Santa Barbara, Calif., the round-trip air ticket costs $156.
Buses, with notable disadvantages such as discomfort and time-consumption, cost
A ONE-WAY bus ticket to Madison costs $23.10; a round-trip costs $43.90.
considerably less. A one-way bus ticket to Denver sells for $34.5; round-trip ticket
A one-way trip to Boston is $54.85; a round trip costs $104.25. To Santa Barbara, a journey of over 1800 miles, a one-way bus costs $87.55 and a round-trip trip is $109.55.
If those prices are depressing, car rental is another consideration. Most car rental companies arrange to pay gas costs. A basic car—that is, a car larger than a sedan, usually for $70 a week, and 14 cents per mile. If renting by the day, car rental is $14.
HITCHIKING is free, but often illegal. In Kansas, it is legal to hitchikin from the shoulder of the road, so long as it is not on highways or on access roads to interstates.
Packing a car with people and sharing gas costs may be cheap, but it isn't comfortable. A car loaded without seats, for example, car, car is a relatively cheap method of travel.
For instance, Denver, approximately 600 miles distant, can be reached in a day by car. Divided four ways, the cost for rental would be less than $4. The catch, of course, is that the 14 cents a mile clause edges the cost of the trip up to $88. Split it into two parts: the cost to the cost of a bus ticket to Denver, except that in addition, a "drop fee" is assessed for the rental of a car, which could further increase the cost by $30 to $40.
The legality of hitchhiking is left up to each municipality in Kansas, an added
Information about hitchhiking laws in other states is accessible through local police.
Camping out is cheaper than staying in motels and eating in restaurants. But, then again, camping gear is expensive and not in cutting costs when visiting a city.
Often hospitality prevails or, as people say on the road, "God provides" Hospitality to transients with little or no money has been institutionalized in some places in the United States, where switchboards dispense information about free hostel facilities and food to travellers who inquire by phone.
IN DENVER, a service called Connection, 125 E. 180. Ave., puts travellers in touch with needed information. St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Denver, 2015 Glennau Place, offers free meals daily to transients.
In Madison, Wisc., travellers can can
inform others by calling "Switch
