Need Seen for KU Day Care
(Editor's note: This article is last in a series on day care for children in Lawrence.)

Apparently Lawrence lacks the skills to adequately care for the children. The question remains whether KU will take any part in meeting

Prof Studying Microorganisms For 10th Year
Dr. James M. Akagi, professor of microbiology at the University of Kansas, is beginning his 10th research grant to reduce reducing bacteria with aid from a $28,667 research grant from the USPHS Health Service (USPHS).
Akagi, who holds a career research grant from the USPHS, microorganisms which convert sulfates into hydrogen sulfide, commonly known as rotten egg acid. He achieved one of his primary goals of establishing the path of infection in the conversion of sulfates to hydrogen sulfide. Only a few details of the bacteria-initiated process are known.
During the next year, Dr. Akagi hopes to begin research on the chemical mechanisms of each of the reactions resulting in intermediate compounds along hydrogen sulfide production path.
Although the study is in its basic stages, Akagi said, results could have a number of practical applications. Sulfate-reducing bacteria are known to cause blooms in seas and oceans and to break down petroleum products making them unacceptable as fuels.

Other women also see the need for such a facility, but they think that they must find someone to request funds for the venture.

Another recent development is the experimental infant care branch opened in February under the leadership of Risley, associate professor of human development. The center for children 2 to 12 months old is based at the University of Wisconsin facility, but the research is conducted with a variety of federal grants. The staff hopes to enhance the environment on this new kind of home environment group child care. The program stresses individual care
A spokesman for opposition candidate Kim Dae Jung charged the elections Tuesday were "totally rigged."
If establishment of a day care center on the hill does require time, you should order to get the funds, the question remains, what kind of land is needed?
Various women leaders have been seeking both funds and a location for the center, which would be organized by fall

DISCUSSIONS WITH mothers indicate that they don't mind if their children casually, but they do not want their children's behaviour

"A facility such as this at KU would be beneficial for mothers, for researchers and for student training," she said.
Since KU does not have a home economics department, the School of Education would seem a likely supervisor for such an endeavor. Evelyn Swartz, professor at Swartz College, expressed interest in seeing such a program but explained some of the
problems

She said that a student might be better suited to a situation but would not quality for welfare assistance. For this reason especially a KU program should be offered.
"The problem centers on money," Miss Swartz said. "We have the personnel but the trend is toward doing away with the instructional instruments for training teachers. It is argued that the
"Even with the present tight teacher market," she continued, "we are still in a better qualified pre-school and all-day care teachers. Our problem is, if we train the teachers, they center actually materialize?"
THE NEED FOR WELL-run, equipped day care centers is high priority for the women's organizations. The women's rights movement depends on good day care programs as a foundation of the Nixon administration's efforts to serve an assemble an effective weapon and an welfare dependence; and many companies are offering it a binge benefit to their workers.
More than four million children in the United States under the age of six have working mothers. Of these, 400,000 can now be accommodated with daycare facilities. The others are tended by a neighbor or relative, or are dropped off at an informal, unlicensed neighborhood operation. Children are left to shift for themales, especially in the larger cities.

scientiously operated day care facilities. Congress is now studying proposals to broaden the role of the federal government in setting up day-care centers. One calls for grants to provide for welfare mothers; the other would require a greater regardess of financial status.
There is a great deal of interest in day care in Lawrence and at KU. The evidence indicates that there is a need for it. The future will see an upsurge in the number of centers across the country.
"Careers in science and technology are not quite as glamorous as they used to be," he said. "The in thing, the trend now, seems to be away from the cards and toward the humiliated."
