KU Reclamation Center Arouses Local Interest
By MATT BEGERT
Kansas Staff Writer
The new University of Kansas Reclamation Center, which is operating on a trial basis for the next six months, is "arousing quite a bit of interest," according to Steve Emerson, Teppeka junior, member of the Student Senate committee in charge of the operation.
"We're overwhelmed with cans and bottles," Emerson said, "and we're happy about it."
Emerson said reaction to the center from the University of Florida was made. He said the residence halls were especially efficient in collecting food.
EMERSON SAID the Earth Patrol was a tremendous help. The Earth Patrol consists of students who have grades in Lawrence elementary schools, according to Emerson. The children bring used cans and bottles which they have collected during the week to the CAFE.
"There's something about those kids with all their enthusiasm that they need to center on Saturday and help us sort which is greatly enlarged."
The Reclamation Center is located in Memorial Stadium, between gates 23 and 24. There are more than a dozen center from noon to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. Emerson there is also a chute where used bodies of cans may be deposited anytime.
"Persons in Lawrence are also cooperating to a great extent," Emerson said. He said material turned in by Lawrence citizens at the bar was collected the amount collected by the University community.
EMERSON ESTIMATED that material collected by pwards of two tons he said the center was now taking in an average of two tons

EMPHASIZING THE GOAL of the building, he said, "I think the real value is that we will have groups of people attacking attacks of unprovoked bullets.
A concept incorporated in the new Space Technology Laboratories building is designed to empower people to achieve this goal, the facility will house research groups covering a variety of disciplines rather than just one or two. This will allow them to interchange of information
"The building is a meeting ground of all the disciplines so we can work on problem-oriented projects. The executive director of the Center for Research Engineering Sciences (CRES), director of the Space Technology Laboratories of the Research Administration.
Located west of Iowa Street CRES Research building, the space laboratory has been under construction for the last two years. The moving process will take six to eight months.
BARRE SAID the building was sometimes referred to as the "NASA" building because the National Aeronautics and Space Administration gave KU a grant of $1.5 million to supplement its budget. To construct the facility KU applied for this grant in 1965-1966.
"Inter-departmental communication and cooperation are two of the vital functions of the research," the actual research, Barr said.
The prime factor Barr said that enabled U.K. to receive the money he needed during the last eight years by men who are leaders in their

propriations
The building is the largest of its kind in the Midwest. Larger ones have been built at Stanford and the Illinois Institute of Technology.
The multi-discipline approach, farr explained, is the result of new problems faced by NASA, engineers and scientists, trained aridity within their fields, were made to cope with political and economic changes.
There is the need, he said, to broaden the exposure of people to an environment for a new technology which, in trying to solve the problems that relate to it, will cover a wide range of fields.
HE GAVE EXAMPLES of space stations which could monitor earth's environment by deploying a robotic dumping oil at sea. These stations could also function as information banks to speed up data collection and nationations. In 1972 NASA hopes to launch the first of several statelites that will monitor fish, birds, grazing lands and so forth.
Barr said NASA had been switching its emphasis from space to aeronautical research. It has invested $10 million from NASA which will investigate aircraft traffic in high density terminal areas.
He explained that the Space Technology Laboratories building had been designed by a panel of individuals who
represented many departments that included engineering, geology and the life sciences. Many of the ideas for the building resulted from studying similar structures at Stanford, in California at Berkley, UCLA Georgia Tech and others.
The final plans were drawn up by the state architects and the firm of Hollis and Miller of Kansas City.
THE THREE-STORY BUILDING contains 30 laboratories of varying sizes and 75 offices. To meet the needs of the eight of the larger laboratories have huge glass windows that face the main lobby of the building.
Some of the projects that will be in the building include a flight simulator, an advanced computer print-outs, a remote sensing laboratory and a robotics lab. All of one project which would determine whether or not life can be found on Mars or other planets.
He also explained that a project known as the Beta program involved about 100 students and 30 teachers. The project is aimed at helping small companies use the benefits of University research to help solve communication issues and improve communication between industry and university.
terminal connected to the computer center.
SOME OF THE equipment in the building will be moved to the new building, but there also will be a great deal of new material from other projects.
Barr pointed out the great versatility of the new building. The structure is equipped with a network of conduits. This allows connections to be made between the main auditorium and each of the laboratories. This enables conferences using the auditorium to observe the work in a lab or for training purposes. A lab to monitor the proceeding of a meeting in the auditorium.

The operation of the center depends entirely on volunteer
