The Designer-Craftsman Exhibition will continue through Feb. 28.
The Kansas Union Gallery is part of the renovation of the first floor lounge area of the Kansas University library destroyed by fire last April. The gallery, located on the south end of the first floor, contains a glass window and display sliding panels and suspended sliding panels. The panels are stored in a central cabinet and slide up to increase display space.
The exhibition will feature cork carving, weaving and textile design, wood and leather craft, furniture, glass and ceramic products specially designed by the University of Kirkland Museum of Art, the department of design and Student Union.

Nixon Readies Bills After 4-Day Holidav

controversial $2 billion general
revenue sharing proposal and
two other messages he will send
But before boarding Air Force One for an evening flight back to Washington, the President and Mrs. Nixon spent several hours relaxing on the beach and touring a square-mile tropical paradise.
They clambered into a Volkswagen bus, one of the few vehicles down jungle trails through a rain forest that had been turned into a national park. Traveling with the group came to the companions, Charles "Bebe" Rebozo and Mr. and Mrs. Roger Burton from Florida and California.
After that, he scheduled a cabinet meeting to provide some details of the domestic goal he has set in his State of the Union address.
that would provide another $11 billion in grants for law enforcement, transportation, job training and three other broad areas, but the request for these grants came from Capitol Hill later in the year.
The President planned on Thursday to give Congress his proposal for general revenue sharing, under which $5 billion in new taxes will be returned to state and local governments for unrestricted use.
The proposal, which the White House described as a "national defense against Nixon's defensive goals, already has run into strong opposition from powerful members of the Obama administration."
On Tuesday, the President will send Congress a message calling for training and career management of federal executives in the $200,000 a year salary. The president will renew his recommendation for new legislation to settle disputes in the transportation industry.
Computers Aid Map Making
The opening resulted from the July 26 dismissal of Gary Dean Jackson, Topeka law student. Jackson was fired for allegedly communion in Topeka the day after Rick Dowell's death.
Donald Adelson, Dean of Men,
said Monday that he hoped the by-
dent would be able to assist the dean of men to work primarily in the students. The
Project Plots Population Density
"I is my hope and intention to join with staff associates and re-enroll students in the college students in considering and interviewing candidates for the position."

Dean Seeks Replacement For Jackson
Robert Nunley, associate professor of geography, is in his seventh year of intensive research involving a more accurate method of putting the focus of Central America on a map.
The computer approach, relatively new in the field of geography, allows the use and objective consideration of data that would have overlooked a researcher a generation ago.
The focus of Nunley's project is the making of population density maps of Central America through the use of computers.
The National Science Foundation is considering Nauley Research Institute's present phase of research which he hopes will be completed.
study has come from the Carnegie Foundation, the Ford Foundation and the General Research Fund of the University. The project will complete the project, Nurley hopes to add to the body of geographical knowledge far beyond the geographic density map of Central America.
While the project will add to the existing knowledge of Central America, it is also important as a scientific research methodology.
The use of computers in Nunley's project may be a precedent for research in the
other natural sciences. With the aid of these computers, he can model and predict population density maps and construct dynamic growth models.
THESE MODELS can predict future distributions of population by objectively considering the effect that heat population distribution
"We hope to be able to predict such things as how a new highway will effect the pattern of where people live," he said.
Nunley hopes the project will also have value in the field of applied research.
Nunley's study has evolved from geographic or traditional methods and been incapable of considering all the questions about population distribution of the computer allows for the consideration of a large quantity of data.
The symbols for clusters of houses indicate the numbers of houses ranging from clusters of 1 to clusters of more than 80,000 buildings.
THE FIRST STEP in Nunley's process of mapping population density is to plot symbols for houses and clusters of houses on base maps representing one degree of latitude by one degree of longitude.
These dot maps are then converted by the computer to density maps representing three minutes longitude by three minutes longitude

Two Seniors KU's Delegates
Monroe Dodd, Sheppewrent, La., senior, and Run Candela, Webster Grove, Mo., have been chosen as KU's delegates to the Inland Daily Press Association's annual meetings. The meetings will be at the Drake Hotel in Chicago Feb. 21-23. The theme of the convention is "The Future of the 70s." The Inland Daily Press Association is composed mainly of midwestern journalists and promotes better newspaper writing.
Theta Sigma Phi to Meet
Members of Theta Sigma Phi honorary fraternity for women in journalism will meet at 4:30 p.m. today at the Iowa Street Pizza Hut. Plans for initiation, the Matrix Dinner and the regional convention in Wichita will be discussed. Dues are also payable at this meeting.
Museum Acquires Painting
A painting by Robert Vickrey, "Gulls and Gliders," recently hung in the White House in Washington until the owner, Richard Snell, the sculptor, donated it to the Museum of Art. Vickrey, a contemporary realist who paints in the style of Andrew Wyeth, studied at the Yale School of Fine Arts and at Carnegie Academy. He also painted parents once lived in Lawrence, "Gulls and Gliders," an egg tempera on masonite is the second painting to be exhibited on the "recent" exhibition.
THE COMPUTER calculates the population of each room and prints per house and then prints out the perfect squares, covered entirely.
Time Given To Change Addresses
Students will have the opportunity to change the address of their student, William L. Kelly, who wanted to check or change their addresses could do so at the Registrar's office bet-
computer to plot these maps includes location, housing fuskers and percentages of land and of water.
Kelly said a number of students indicated their KU address. He said he hoped students would review their decisions to avoid complications and delays. He advised that students should be delivered by June.
"It is my concern that students, through the rush of enrollment, wren't 10 per cent sure where they are going and their grades to be sent," Kelly said.
Students were given four options during enrollment as to where their grades should be placed. Students must address, to student at KU address, to student at parents' or to student at another sermon room.
Kelly said he thought that it might be wiser if students had their grades mailed to students' some addresses. She said parents could then forward them to schools at their summer addresses.
Other descriptive computations, which are planned to increase the knowledge about environmental problems of population, urban and rural population, historical processes of settlement and characteristics of settlements.
which indicate the population density of each point on the map.
Nunley said the project attempted to continually define population information more specifically. This included the increase in population by three units of each the three by three units for 180, 190 and 200.
IN PROVIDING more accurate information on population trends, the research had possible application for city planners, industrial groups, federal and state agencies, and private companies. Population information, for example, could be used by a company responsible for planning.
Although Nunley said it was impossible to determine the success of the project since the team had not been pledged, there was no reason for

"Success," he said, "will be determined when three questions are asked about the models developed we use in our scientifics? Will the theoretical constructs 1 develop to us in development science? And will government and private groups find technical support for them as well what they call development?" Nunley explained that there is a need of applying his research findings.
"This type of knowledge can help people adapt better to nature," he said. "It can also be useful." My hope is that it is not the latter.
