KU Coed Can Drink in Teahua
Stephanie Myers, Overland Park freshman, enjoy a beer while studying in her room in Hashinger Hall and has been permitted in the organization during only this year. The organization linked the Association of University Residence Hills and fraternities through the Inter-Fraternity Council. No sorority has yet initiated a proposal to allow beer.

Teenaged Skater Scores Second U.S. Gold Medal
Parachutes to Aid Homeless
By SCOTT EATON
Kansan Staff Writer
SAPPORO, Japan (AP)—Teenage Anne Henning gave the United States its second speed skating event in many days Thursday by winning the women's 500-meter speed skating event at the 11th Winter 03m-

Benjamin's method would use a parachute saturated with oxygen and the air people whose homes might have been destroyed by some storms.
straightaway near the end of the race.
Henning, the 16-year-old skating star from Northbrook, Ill., set an Olympic record of 43.33 seconds to win the event after a run of 50.89 seconds skater Syalia Burka when the two girls changed lanes on the
The parachute would be dropped from an aircraft flying over the disaster scene. The parachute would be liquid when it left the plane, but would solidify in the one or two minutes it would take it to reach the ground. It would maintain the dome shape of the parachute following its landing. This form, when deployed, would provide sturdy, usable shelter.
DESIGNING the parachute has caused some problems, but none that has created any hazard. It is important to develop methods of folding and packing the parachute had to be developed, along with a method to fill the parachute with the resin foam. You can form the plastic. Benjamin said.
This problem necessitated encasing the cloth of the parachute between two sheets of thin polyethylene plastic.
Because of the foul, Henning was given another chance to play. He scored 42.75 and he wired the sun-swell Makomanai rink a second

The report included recommendations concerning the financing and maintenance of the halls.
ANOTHER PROBLEM was that the hardening plastic in the parachute as it descends destroys the fabric. Benjamin said. A parachute must allow air to pass through it if it is function properly, but the fabric would break.
Arthur H. Thomas, associate professor of education and administration, the original draft of the report was submitted to Balfour several years ago.
"It was suggested that we simply punch holes in the leather of a jacket," Benjamin said. "However, certain openings can be built into a parachute, which will permit the wear of lack of porosity in the cloth."
The victory came just 24 hours after Dianne Holum, another Northbrook resident, took the 1,500-meter speed-skating test.
On College Friendships Experimental Play Based
While this method increases the descent speed of the machine, the increase is only slight, and the resulting impact speed would have no effect on the supplies suspended beneath the machine.
Hall Policies Talked Over
Anderson said that structurally, his work was "somewhat different" than at times the audience was watching him, and at past year, and "at other times,
Another problem involved was a way to saturate the cloth of the parachute with the resin and the hardener, Benjamin said. The resin and hardener, when combined are an extremely quick-setting combination and could harden the parachute in its folded form.

the characters comment on these events from their present viewpoints."
"This parachute will have its greatest use in remote areas of underdeveloped countries," Benjamin said. "In piles it is easier to deal with a disaster than it is easier, more conventional means of aid can be." he said.
This will create a saturation pattern which will most effectively force the resin into all parts of the parachute, he said.
The airplane that would drop the parachute would be required to be rolled back onto the ground he said. This sprayer would be loaded with large amounts of the resin and connected to a nozzle on the back of the aircraft immediately before the parachute is dropped from the plane. The sprayer would be connected to the nozzle, and the high pressure sprayer would force the necessary quantity of resin into the nozzle.
Bajamini's plans use a patient room with a bed about 18 feet. This gives a usable interior working area of about 200 squares, 100 feet of which is covered.
The play deals with the friendship of three college students, she, thwift, Margaret and Robert, who said recently "deiced to recreate their story, which took them about a time span, before an audience."
Benjamin said the parachute will probabit weigh about 150 pounds, but he says it can land, and can carry about 150 more pounds of medical supplies. He added that the parachute is the light weight of the parachute will make it easy for the natives to fly.
THE PARACHUTE would then be dropped from the aircraft, and a hardened shelter would soon reach the ground.
After the folding problem was solved, Benjamin began work on the method he would use to force resin into the parachute.
"PEOPLE in these countries will be largely illiterate, so a lot of words must be developed to explain how to use the language."
The leaflet would contain such information as how to anchor the leaflets of a parachute it would be safe to build fires and uses of different materials.
First-year architecture students will also be involved in the project this semester.
"What we are planning to do is have the first-year students in architecture do a two-week course and then communicate." Benjamin said.
BENAMIN SAID he thought these structures could be used for more than just temporary shelter.
"These shelters will be a luxury to many people in these areas." he said. "The
