Prof Notes New Trends Designers Try to Please
By WALTER LIETZEN Kansan Staff Writer
Students in industrial design are concerned with the needs of people. Products they design are comfortable, convenient and satisfying. Above all, the effects on the environment must be considered
"industrial design is a wide field," said Downer Dykes, professor of design. "It may range from designing a product that the severely mentally retarded can manipulate, to designing the interior of a space capsule for comfort and efficiency."
Dykes said that a design student was exposed to hypothetical situations in which he could exercise his imagination. The project must entail research in solving design problems, he said. A current problem in the United States being approached
by designers in the transportation industry is how to alleviate the glut of urban congestion on Redederm, Overland Park, park research and design problems on a 15-mile project that would circle Kansas City International Airport with downtown Kansas City.
Meredith has a transportation system on the drawing board that includes a flat-top hardcover harry. The system, built on an air cushion design, would be capable of carrying 100 lbs.
Dykes said this was not a commercial project. It is cleverly designed with the problem solving activity with potential practical applications,
Another problem that has no interest to man for some time is the lack of public awareness in economic poll-free protection, Raymond, Prairie Village senior.

SPRING FINALLY ARRIVED Tuesday and Deb Soucek, left, Milwaukee, Wis., senior, and Trish Bailey. White University senior, spent part of Tuesday afternoon sitting on the Ch Omega forecast to ensure that everyone knew about it. The weather forecast for today includes a prediction that temperatures could possibly reach a high of eighty-five degrees, so it looks like spring may be here to stay.
Raymond is seeking an application of winch system on land by operating a sail operated, wheeled vehicle that has "recreational use."
Raymond, a sailboat enthusiast, has passed the conceptual stage with his vehicle and is well into construction of it. He built the frame and construction at the frame and construction at about the halfway stage.
Raymond said that he had calculated that the vehicle would be capable of going 85 to 90 miles per hour.
"If it doesn't go fast enough to scare me, I will think it is a failure," he said.
The mentally retarded are the concern of a project by Ed Schoenfeld, a graduate junior. He is working on a group of products that the severely mentally retarded, those with an IQ above 35, would be able to produce.

Surgeon General Jesse L. Steinfeld has endorsed proposed
legislation that would require
regulators to set aside special

Dykes said that it was not essential that a land yacht be built, but that Raymond was the man who had done the case involving studios and design.

A large percentage of former A large industrial design students are pratt in their first year. Several have organized their own consulting design firms. Others are employed by leading design manufacturers or manufacturing corporations.
The human factors, aesthetic
qualities and ecological im-
plications are stressed in the
classroom content of the design
course.

In all these classroom situations, Dykes said, the primary objective is for the student to understand the use of hand to gain experience in research for problem solving in design.
The warm, bainny weather that has prevailed these past few days has brought beautiful sunshine days accompanied by moderate winds, all of which at last signal the arrival of spring. These factors mark the coming of kite flying season to Mt. Oread.
When the arrival of spring is combined with the anticipation of the end of school, the result is spring fever.
Docking Urges House To Form Commission
urged the legislature to reconsider.
Decking's comments were in a special message to the Kansas House.
Docking said no funds were involved in the commission.
When spring fever strikes, as it already has in many instances, it’s worth thinking to stay indoors for long periods of time, much less think about anyone else.
The governor said his representative to the national commission, Morris Krouse, of Wichita, was given only two minutes to explain the com-mission of House Federal and State Affairs Committee. He said that committee later killed the bill.
As is generally the case, "March came in like a lion and went out like a lamb." The unpredictability of March winds affords an opportunity to engage in a bit of frivolity, namely, the art of kitting. They are also well suited for launching the lightweight paper and plastic creations which

Kite flying; like most occupations, does have its hang-ups. The most apparent obstacle, and certainly, by far, the most dangerous, is the feared kite-eating tree which plagues and torments kite飞雁 all over the country.
U.S. 'Cool' to Plan
WASHINGTON (UPI)—The State Department reacted cautiously Tuesday to a Soviet proposal to hold a world nuclear竞赛 to try to negotiate general and complete disarmament.
State Department spokesman Charles W. Bray told reporters that the department did not appear to be new and that arms control measures had to be made.

Leonid I. Brezhnev, Communist party general secretary, made the proposal in a six-hour meeting of the Communist Congress in Moscow.
He said the United States was not rejecting the proposal, but was cool toward it because it could turn into a major threat, rather than a useful way of reaching agreement

Tubulin is composed of protein sub-units aligned to form tube-like structures in nerve and brain cells. As a result of his research, Tubulin also forms the tubes might serve some transmembrane function by carrying materials manufactured in nerve cell nuclei to portions of the cells away from the outside. He described the tubes as a circular system within each cell.
It was discovered about three years ago by Edwin Taylor of the University of Chicago. Shortly after the discovery, Samson helped his general study of nervous tissue to concentrate on tubulin.
Tubulin is a protein which makes up a sizable proportion of nervous tissue.
Malfunction of Tubulin may be a cause of Alzheimer's disease, which disables the nervous system and is usually fatal. In Alzheimer's disease, tubulin filaments are be tangled filaments, rather than aligned to form tubes. The disease affects persons of all ages.
A $15,880 grant from the U.S. Public Health Service will enable the University of Kansas to continue its research into the effects of tubulin on brain functions.

Bill Humble, WHSL genera-

WILMINGTON, N.C. (UCP)—Radio station WHSL today suspended public service announcements for the Army as a protest against the conviction of one of the murderers of the civil war victims at Mt. Lee.
Humble said the station has normally carried numerous free advertisements for the Army as a public service responsibilities.
