Architecture Dean Looks to Future
By CHERYL BOWMAN
Kansan Staff Writer
The School of Architecture and Urban Design has enormous potential, Charles H Kahn, dean of the school, said in an interview recently.
Kahn came to the University of Kansas in 1968 when the Board of Regents established the school. Architectural education had been a part of the School of Engineering.
Before coming to KU, Kahn was a professor of architecture at North Carolina State University. He held several degrees in architecture and related fields. He received his first degree, a B.A., in mathematics, from the University of South Carolina, where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
He received a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and architecture from North Carolina State. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he earned his master's in civil engineering.
AKIN HAS ALSO studied in Europe. He won a Fulbright Award to study in Italy in 1957-58 and in 1961 he received a Henry dams research grant to study in France.
Since coming to KU, Kahn said he had no time to design many buildings because of his interest in teaching administrative and teaching duties. He is a registered professional engineer and art instructor.
Kahn described himself as a contemporary architect. He said he thought that it was impossible for an architect to design anything else in his own time.
Kahn lives in Lawrence with his wife and three children. He said he did not design his own house because Kansas was much too exacting a climate.
KAMIN SAID THAT many changes have taken place in architectural education at KIMKIM, Japan.
top floor of Marvin Hall. The first degree offered was in architectural engineering.
In 1947, after the establishment of a five year curriculum, the department received accreditation by the newly formed National Architectural Accrediting Board.
Today the school, still housed in Marvin Hall, is undergoing changes to keep up with the transformation in the field of architecture. Kahn said the five-year program was being phased out and being replaced with a four-year program leading to a bachelor of environmental design degree and a six-year leading to an M.S. degree in architecture. The faculty would be associated with the five-year program would no longer be required.
Students in the six-year program may specialize in some area of environmental design, such as architecture, urban design, planning and architectural technology.
TO BE A REGISTERED professional architect, completion of an examination is required. To qualify to take the exam a student must have completed eight years of education and experience.
Besides academic courses, the school also supports an urban advocacy program, oriented toward direct involvement in inner city areas. Student consultants are made available to deprived districts in Lawrence and Kansas City.
Currently there are 25 faculty members and 388 students in the school and another 400 are enrolled in architecture classes. Kahn said that most of the students were men, but that he would like to see more women in architecture.
Job scarcity has hit the field of architecture in recent times. The summer internship is no longer required because of the difficulty in placing students.
KAIN SAID THAT job placement on the KAIN and East counts and in the Kauai City office will be done at:
jobs available to those who were flexible in their choice of location.
"The future of architecture looks fantastic," Kahn said. "There's an enormous future for physical planners. I think we're over the hump in the planning field."
"The architectural program at KU is as good as possible at the present time. We're a growing school and we hope to keep our students well educated in the changing needs in architecture," he said.

Health Dept. Seen as Regulatory
By MARY FROJEN
Kansan Staff Writer
The function of the public health department should be one of a regulatory agency and not a social agency Dr. Dale Clinton, who serves as the public health department said recently.
County the functions of the public health department are much broader.
"We're not here to do things for people, but to see that they do the things they are supposed to do," he said. "Any services we render are incidental to our stated purpose, which is preventive medicine as it affects the public at large."
This concept of the public health department functions is very different from the attitude in some other Kansas counties, including Shawnee, whose county seat is St. Louis. A supervisor for the Douglas County Department of Social Welfare, he said in Shawnee
THE LAWRENCE-DOUGLAS COUNTY Health department, according to its 1970 annual report, provides the following services: immunizations, usually given in schools; for contagious diseases; birth control information and devices; testing and treatment of small animal disease; inspection of all public buildings and facilities; serve beer; milk inspection (this function was transferred about nine months ago to the State Department of Agriculture); tuberculosis testing; and well baby clinics, that, Clinton said, fitted in with the "regulatory agency" concept because "of the state law on immunization," and required immunizations before they start school.
"We aren't interested in general health care," Clinton said, "but in the health of

the one individual affects the health of others, as it does with TB, VD, birth control and immunisation.
THE PUBLIC HEALTH department is financed by a county钱由 0.73 mills and by the city's general fund. Its total expenditures in 1970 were about $81,000.
Again and again polls have shown the war to be unpopular.
The war in Vietnam continues. The anti- war movement grew slowly in the 60s behind Eugene McCarthy then the fall moratorium began, and it lasted best after the invasion of Cambodia last spring.
Included in the organizations are the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), the National Welfare Rights Organization, the American Friends' Service Committee, the National Peace Action Club and Cleroy and Concern Lawmen.
"We try to define our boundaries clearly. We are not in the general health care business. The Federal government has tried to prevent the general health care field, but I am busy enough with my
Once again, demonstrations against the war are planned. Leaflets, mailed to the Kansan by members of the "May Day Tribe," sponsors of the demonstrations, say the upcoming protests will be part of a nationwide intensive—which is scheduled to begin today.
Sunday marks the anniversary of Martin Luther King's assassination and April 2 through 4 have been designated "Tribute in Action to Martin Luther King" by SCLC and the National Welfare Rights Organization to open the Offensive. As part of the tribute, the organization has undertaken payings by a guaranteed annual income of $6,500 for a family of four.
Beginning Sunday groups will begin walking to Washington armed with copies of the People's Peace Treaty. These groups are scheduled to gather outside of Washington on May 1. An SCLC mule train will travel from Wall Street to Washington.
The three demands, which will be repeated throughout the series of demonstrations are: an immediate and total withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Indo China, the establishment of a guaranteed annual income of $6,500 for all American families and the immediate release of those women and men "who have been denied personal rights in their beliefs, morality, politics or poverty."
Operation Dewey Canyon III will last through the third week of April. On April 24 anti-war forces will rally in Washington and then to present three demands to the government.
- One week later, on April 10, women against the war will march on Washington. Then, on April 19 Vietnam war veterans will march on the Capitol.
With the health department defining its functions so narrowly, what does a person in
The march by the veterans has been labeled "Operation Dewey Canyon III." The veterans will lobby in Congress for an end to the war and stage a campaign of civil disobedience.
On several occasions thousands of demonstrators trekked to Washington to show their dislike for the war Again and again thousands more have marched in their hometowns and university communities to show their dislike of the war.
- The rally of April 24 to be followed by a "people's lobby" The aim of the lobby is to take the three demands to every department, committee and agency of the government.

Problem Not 'Dangerous'
Without any knowledge of the real nature of the problem, Co-Op has to face the fact that money has been spent without results. The problem is complicated, Como said, when one considers that there are almost 500 different types of pollution devices available. Selecting such a system is an instrument for an individual problem is difficult even when sufficient data are available.
"Co-Op has several collection devices now that were installed approximately five years ago. We do not know whether they are effective because there has been little research that would provide any substantial guidance as to which types of anti-pollution devices can be used in schools and are afraid that one of the instruments now in use may actually be adding to the problem."
Pollution Law Forces New Co-Op Research

Cormo, who wrote the test sampling procedures for the group, said that Co-Op has been concerned about emission wastes for the majority of the public became alarmed.
AFTER this initial contact, Como said 20 other plants across the country joined together in order to find a way of controlling nitrogen wastes of ammonium nitrate production.
WILLIAM BARR, associate professor of engineering who is also affiliated with the

Welcome to Kansas—Clean Air Country"
It is in death.
Although the Lawrence community faces a small air pollution problem compared to other sections of the country, its problem is significant.
The major cause for concern has been the Cooperative Farm Chemicals Association (Co-Op) just east of town on Kansas Highway 10.
CoOp is try to analyze the problem in all its aspects before implementing a long-range program. Until just recently, Co-op stood alone in its attempts to reduce the amount of waste products in the air caused by ammonium nitrate production.
"We called all over the country trying to find some company that had solved the problem and we could send Eugene to them. We Co-Op department's anti-pollution program." We then tried to find some plant that had defined the problem and we discovered that no one knew it.
Center for Research, Inc., confirmed the frusturing nature of Co-Op's problem.
WHY, THEN, in Co-Op faced with spending an initial $000,000 to $2 million for their
If the project is funded, Lawrence would be marked as one of many test sites because of the presence of Co-Op and the Kansas Power and Light plant.
The research proposal would provide for a year and a half of exploratory work to be followed possibly by a four or five year problem-solving study. Barr said,
"The truth is," Barr said, "There are too many opinions about air pollution in Kansas."
Anti-War Move Fails
"We would want to find out during that time if the problem was getting better or worse," he said.
"The fact that our employees have worked in the plant for many years without major health problems would tend to indicate that we are protecting the health of our employees' health problem," Come said. "It may be harmful when considered in light of the fact that we are not a matr or health hazard in the community."
THE ONLY test site now measuring pollution in Kansas, Barr said, is in Wyandotte County. The only readings that have been taken in Lawrence were done on an informal basis by a San Francisco firm. The State Health Department has not been able to launch an investigative program because of the lack of adequate state funds.
Concern in the community was one factor, Como said. Huge white clouds that are emitted from the plant are visible to the camera and these clouds are unsightly, he said.
"The philosophy behind this regulation is that any foreign substance in the air is bad." *Air*<sup>1</sup>.
Conso stated that some health studies pointed out that air pollution was harmful to human health. Those studies, he said, had been done with burned-fuel substances such as coal which are not comparable to ammonium nitrate residues.
The study could yield some valuable information in Co-Op planners, but they cannot afford to wait that long. Pushed by existing government regulations and impending state legislation, Co-Op must act now.
Barr and other KU professors are attempting to gain federal support for a research proposal which would include a study of the environmental impacts of a wide-area zone from Kansas City to Topeka.
"The study could have important implications for the rest of the country," Bar said. "If air pollution in Kansas, which presumably is a low-level problem, is found to be harmful to vegetation and other environmental indicators in the state, then we would be alerted to the size and nature of the problem that we face nationwide."
The bill would double the pay of recruits. It authorizes up to $1 billion for higher salaries for first term enlisted men and junior officers plus $62,000 for higher quarters allowances.
Federal air pollution regulations are stringent. Apartly which are not water, whether solid or liquid; must be eliminated, whether defined as matter emitted in particle form.
The pay raises in the bill are expected to come under close scrutiny in the Senate, as is the provision to phase out undergraduate deferments.
Military Pay Increase Approved by House
Earlier in the day, House members, hearing complaints that draft dodgers were using conscious objector status to avoid military duty, voted to extend, from two to three years, the length of nomilitary duty that conscious objectors must serve.
The bill also would give the President discretionary authority to end undergraduate student deferments retroactive to April 23 and would grant the President's request for a national lottery call each month that would increase the draft liability throughout the country.
WASHINGTON (UPI)—The House voted the largest military pay raise in history on Thursday to try to replace the draft with an all-volunteer Army.
CO-OP's began an all-out effort last August when Coco was hired as work exclusively on the team.
The bill, which passed on a roll call vote,

Efforts to use the draft bill as a vehicle for anti-war sentiment suffered a blow Thursday when the House easily amended an amendment by Rep. John Bingham, D-N.Y., that would have prohibited use of drunkenness in the latter end of the 1971. The vote was 260 to 122.
Before approving the $2.7 billion a year increase in military pay and allowances—three times the boost President Nixon had asked—members refused to approve a move by anti-war forces to bar the use of draftees in Vietnam.
See POLLUTION Page 2
The House also defeated, 70 to 42, a proposal by Rep. Clarence D. Long, D.-M.D., to permit college students who receive draft induction to enroll in full school year rather than only the semester.
President Nikon said that if he won approval of his request for authority to end undergraduate student deferments, he would college seniors to complete their studies.
The House passed and sent to the Senate a record $2.7 billion increase—three times what President Nixon requested—after repeatedly voting down proposals that would have had the effect of ending U.S. involvement in the war in Southeast Asia.
The all action came on a bill extending the draft until mid-1973. President Nixon has said he 'hoped to achieve an all-volunteer Army that would protect workers and working conditions by that date.

If granted, the 27-year-old Calley would return to his bachelor apartment here on post and would be free to come and go, as he was for the year and a half while charges were pending against him. If denied, he likely will be shipped to the FT Leavender disciplinary barracks. The barrister said the sentence, which could be commuted after 10 years,
