University Summer Kansan
Student Likes Roach Study
BY BOB FULKERSON Kansas Stuff Writer
Bugged by your summer job!
Consider the work of Gary Samson,
the owner of several thousand live cockroaches in a controlled laboratory.
Sams is a research assistants working under the supervision of Dr. William Baldwin, professor in the departments of entomology and physiology and biology.
Sams seemed at ease with the insects Monday as he handled and displayed the various types of lichens found around the world.
I STARTED working with cockroaches about a year and a half ago. They were nice, but a bit hard to get used to. Now the only thing I think of when I handle them is the possibility of developing an allergen-free cocktail.
He explained that it was not the fault of the roaches but rather a natural reaction of the human body to the presence of substances over prolonged periods of time. Sams said he tried to handle the Kansas varieties as little as possible because those were the ones he came into contact with.
Sams explained that the roaches were used for various experiments but his area of interest was primarily the study of those cockroaches that had egg layers in the egg pods for experiments.
"AMERICAN ROACHES lay eggs." Sams said, "but not all roaches do. For instance the Cuban roach gives live birth."
"The American female coach "the American female coach approximately 10 to 15 eggs has about 20 to 30 eggs in it. It takes 20 days for the eggs to batch. It takes 20 months to mature and they may live for as long as two years," he wrote.
Some cockroaches have unusual defense mechanisms.
Sams showed how to reach were given water in large test tubes with cotton wadded in the middle of each tube and moistened moisture by chewing on the
America for instance makes a hissing sound when pushed or attacked.
"THIS ONE from the Florida Everglades can spit acid that will burn your skin," Sams said, as he pointed out the cracks on the cones.
"Roaches are stupid," Sams said. "They keep trying to get out of their containers when they fly, and then than they ever would outside."
"When I first started working here, I used to trap cookeries on the lawns' on campus," Sams said. "Now a few are in the tunnels."

Sams said that cockroaches could live one or two months with no food, but that without water at least once a week they would die.
SAMS SUGGESTED that to get rid of aluminium oxide should be sprinkled where the roaches are frequently seen. The aluminium oxide removes the outer covering from roaches' leaves and causes them to retain water and causing them to de diehydration.
Sams said that another method of exterminating the insects involved a simple but effective red powder that can be bought in any drugsurge and placing it in pop bottles or bottles should be placed where the roaches are suspected to be. The solution would cause the roaches to die.
SAMS IS INVOLVED in the study of the reproduction cycle of the cockroach. Some of the other research being conducted in the laboratory have focused on theigation of the possibility that cockroaches secrete substances which cause them to cluster and enables one reach to follow the migration.
Job Doesn't Bug Him
"If that substance could be isolated and manufactured, it might be used for trapping roaches," said Sams.
When asked whether or not he would be available for trapping he said he'd be fine, but who felt they had more than their share, Sams said he might if it wasn't that important.

One of the two nuclear reactors in Kansas is on the University of Kansas campus in a building the Abinger Center. Accessed 15th Street from the Jayhawk towers apartments, the building houses the departments of biophysics, chemical engineering and civil engineering.
The department of biophysics has a number of functions. Shaw said the department is responsible for investigation of radiation physics to determine how radiation will affect life.
The nuclear reactor itself is a huge blue structure, taller than the average room that houses the reactors. This is which is the source of radiation. Yet this particular reactor is small as reactors go, according to Edward I. Shaw, professor of physics, only for training and research.
SILBER SAID that Headquarters maintained a 24-hour staff of usually two persons.
Also, important is health physics, in which there is strict supervisory control by well-trained personnel using radiation materials. Other areas covered by the department are general physics and medical physics.
The study of heat affects the growth of bubbles is important for the use of air-boiling bubbles in air-planes as refrigerators and air dryers.
THE CHEMICAL engineering department is involved in several research projects this summer, and Russell Mesier, professor of chemical engineering One of the most successful Science Foundation, supports selected undergraduates and graduate students from KU and several other campuses in theinking and collageing air bubbles.

conditioners. Bubbles formed in a controlled tank of water are filmed by a high speed camera and measured and recorded. This procedure led to the discovery 10 years ago by Franklin D. Moore, Ph.D. (now at KU), that the bubbles emit the most heat at the beginning of their formation and not, as is often thought, after they are fully formed.
THE STUDY of cavitation, or cavitation air bubbles, is another important aspect of program. These, too, are filmed by high speed cameras and

fuel would also be beneficial to mankind because it is a clean fuel.
The civil engineering department is a graduate program from which students may earn the Masters and PhD. degrees in Environmental Health Engineering or Science with B.S. degree. The studies covered by this department include water pollution control, air
pollution control and solid waste control.
On the door to the building is a notice, "Warning, do not enter building if siren is sounding." The control of the radiation materials has been so complete that this warning has never been put into effect, except for routine drills, or special drills, according to Shaw.

Headquarters has operate since last June and has been increasing and expanding since then. For example, last June, Silber said, Headquarters had 200 people on staff, about 823 cases were handled.
Silber said that he hoped to draw more community residents into the program. He wants adults to work as the unrecognized volunteers and bandle the increasing amount of adult calls that are coming in
Also, Silber said that the type of problems handled was expanding. Drug problems were the biggest organization has expanded and now handles problems such as loneliness, depression, suicide, family and friend problems, birth runaways, draft and others.

Library Starts Written Tour
Students are given a sheet of paper with the tour of the library detailed. With diagrams and numbers to follow, it is simple to read. This simplicity allows the tour to take the tour unassisted.
Adapted as an additional way to simplify orientation, the sheet does not place emphasis on the
If a student does not take the car during orientation, he can use his guide sheet or himself. The guide sheet is also expected to help students who are new to driving.

City officials said Sunday they had not received Rubin's letter and could not comment until they read it.
The location behind Flint Hall was chosen because of its proximity to Wescow Hill. If the water is piped over too great a height, it may cool too quickly and may cool enough to cool the building properly. Lawton said.
Cooling Center Is Being Built
Thomas said that the office was now easy to get a budget for and maintain it, the students would be acclaimed as soon as the budget is definite.
The building will be a two-story chilling and cooling tower, where the furnaces are located. Wesco Hall, then piped back to the tower to be recycled into the building.
