"I was real excited about the launch." *Ulah* said, "everything's fine - everything's moving beautifully.*
ULABY SAID CRAMG Dobson, project manager at the remote sensing lab, sent a telegram to him from West Germany shortly after he returned. The data for the experiments were proceeding smoothly.
American customers officials almost prevented Dobson and two KU assistants from traveling to West Germany because of the radar equipment installed on their customers finally approved the trip Thursday.
The three scientists now are near Munich at West Germany's equivalent of NASA Ulaab said. They will stay there until Wednesday, when they will travel to a site near Bonn to set up the radar and other equipment they will use for the KU experiments.
The KU team will conduct its experiments when the space shuttle passes over the the West German experiment site, Ulaby said. The shuttle is scheduled to make this crossover at 11:30 a.m. Sunday West German time, which is 5:30 a.m. CST.
The team will have one second to do the experiments. Utab said
DURING THAT ONE second, the space shuttle will be mounted 10,000 high-frequency radar pulses at radar receiving equipment, or transponders, on the ground set up by Dobson and his crew. After receiving the radar pulses, the transponders will beam the radar pulses back to the space shuttle.
The pulses returned by the transponders will create bright dots on black and white photographs taken on the space lab. This experiment will help determine how well the equipment works and will provide a reference scale artists to use in future calibrations of radar.
Another experiment will use high-frequency radar to map vegetation in the area around Bonn. High-frequency radar is useful for studying cloud phenomena, off living matter and does not penetrate it.
A third experiment will use radar to determine the amount of water in soil at the experiment site.
WHILE INTERNATIONAL INTEREST was
still present, Mr. Goffin's
surprise was not the crewdraw, it had been of no interest to him.
"There was a relatively small crowd." Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Bill Stringfield said of viewing sites off the space center. "I doubt if there were 100,000."
The crowd for the Aug. 30 night launch was estimated at 250,000.
Media interest also was down, with just 867 media representatives, 114 from other countries,
Their day was divided into 12-hour shifts for around-the-clock research in Spacelab, a 23-foot-long cylinder mounted in Columbia's cargo bay.
Columbia flight commander John Young, co-pilot Brewster Shaw and four other shuttle crew members had little time to admire the view as they circled the world at 17,500 mph.
HUNDREDS OF GUESTS gathered at the West German space center in Cologne to applaud Columbia and physicist Ulf Merbold, the first Western German to fly in space and first foreigner to ride in an American space vehicle. Millions of West Germans gathered before television screens in bars, offices and to watch a live transmission of the shuttle launch.
"It was a picture-book take off," said Science and Technology Minister Heinz Riesenbauer. "Europe has entered the area of manned space flight for the first time."
Spacelab was developed by European Space Agency at a cost of $1 billion and donated to NASA as Western Europe's contribution to the U.S. space program.

In contrast, students at Pittsburgh State University will pay about $100 more than most KU students for similar residence hall room and board plans; according to rate information furnished by the Repsigns. Wake State University will pay up to $200 more.
At Pittsburgh State, a double room and 18 meals a week — a similar plan to the one used in KU residence walls — will cost $2.124. At Wichita State, a double room in an air-conditioned building will cost $2.240. All KU residence hall contracts include payment for 20 meals a week.
KU'S MOST EXPENSIVE residence hall will be Hashinger Hall, which will cost $2,100, according to the Office of Residential Programs. McCollum Hall will cost $2,010; Oliver Hall will cost $2,025; GSP, Corbin, Lewis and Ellsworth halls will cost $2,000; and Joseph R, Pearson and Templin halls will cost $1,989.
But only 390 students live in Hushinger, which means that about 4,100, or more than 90 percent of the students living in KU residence may attend McColum houses about 900 students, and
Ellsworth and Oliver house about 650 each.
Ellsworth and Oliver house about soe each KU men's scholarship halls will cost $1,626. Douthart and Sellards halls, the two women's scholarship halls providing both room and board, will cost $1,519. About 400 students live in KU scholarship halls.
ALL OF K-STATE'S housing, including its one scholarship hall, will cost $1,820 next year. Double rooms at Fort Hays State, with 20 meals a week, will cost $1,966.
Comparable to KU's cost are those of Emporia State University, where a double room and 18 meals a week will cost $2,010 for next year. At Kansas Technical Institute in Salina, a double room and 19 meals a week will cost $1,995.
At Wichita State, where a double room and 19 meals a week in the school's two airconditioned residence halls will cost $2,240 next year, the variety of services offered to students adds to the cost, said Randy Alexander, director of housing.
A non-air-conditioned double room and 19 meals a week at Wichita State will cost
"At KU," Alexander said, "You have no seconds on meals. We have unlimited
seconds. We have four meal plans, which adds to the amount of work that goes into preparing meals. One of our halls has a swimming pool. We also have a smaller operation - 900 students as compared to your unit - but suffer the same administrative costs.
"And the students don't want to give up the extras that they get. We could easily knock $30,000 out of our budget if we eliminated, say, the seconds in the meals. But we surveyed our students, and they said they would do it anything else. Things So, not coincidentally, they pay more."
EVEN THOUGH A room and 10 or 15 meals can cost as little as $1,983 at Wichita State, he said, such limited meal plans are available only five days a week.
Fred McElheneh, director of the KU Office of Residential Programs, agreed with Alexander, saying that having only one meal plan probably helped hold down costs.
"It probably means less work for the cafeteria people in each hall, even though I am no expert on food." McEhnie said. "It's hard to say anyway, only to prepare, I would imagine."
IN NORTH-CENTRAL Kansas, a snow-scheeked highway about five miles north of Alta Vista caused an automobile to slide into an ammoniating lane and collide with a pickup truck.

The occupants of the car, Otis E. Cross, 63, and his wife Ida, 59, of Lincoln, Neb., were pronounced dead at the scene, the Kansas Highway Patrol said.
A blizzard warning was issued in northwest
kansas east of Nixa, as northwest winds of 25
to 35 miles per hour poured across the state.

In northwest Kansas, Sherman County Deputy Kevin Armstrong said snowfall and high winds prevented workers from clearing roads Sunday night.
"You can't even see your fingers stretched out in front of your face," Armstrong said. "The town (Goodland) is at a complete standstill. Nothing is going on."
IN GOODLAND, NATIONAL Weather Service meteorologist Erne Workman said that winds had been gusting to 44 mph and that drifts had uled high along roadside.
"I guess you could call it a full-fledged
blizzard " be said
A similar situation existed in southwest Kansas where a Finney County sheriff's dispatcher said many businesses planned to be closed as a result of the district in northwest Kansas canceled classes.
The one police car in Rawlins County was stuck in the snow Sunday and sheriff's dispatcher Joyce Parker said she would stay in the office "for the duration" of the snowstorm. All roads in and out of Atwood were closed, she said, and power failures were reported.
Roads were closed in all directions out of Tribune in Greeley County, which borders Colorado, where snow drifts were as high as 8 feet.
"四 wheel drive drives won't last very long." Greeley dispatcher Cindy Miller said Sunday. "DOT (Department of Transportation) crews are trying to open the roads, but they are closing up right behind them as fast as they get them open."
FREEZING RAIN AND sleet coated tree limbs and power lines with ice a quarter to a half inch thick in north-central and northeast Kansas Sunday.

"The trees are terrible." White said. "Things are falling like crazy My TV antennae fell off the roof. Fences are lagging over, almost touching the ground."
She said she had received 102 calls about the leather in six hours Sunday from worried moms.
POWER OUTGES WERE "off and on" in Nemaha County on the Nebraska border in northeast Kansas, Undersheriff Frank Gray said.

In Damascus, Arab peacemakers hoping to end the Palestinian civil war yesterday ordered Yasser Arafat's men and the opposing Syrian rebels LO rebelled to leave Tripoli and return to Lebanon.
DAMASCUS RADIO SAID former Lebanese Prime Minister Rashid Kardam Karami announced plans for the dispersal of the warring PLO factions in the meetings in the Syrian capital with Tripoli officials.
There was no immediate response from Arafat or the Syrian-backed rebels to the plan — part of the Syrian-Saudi ceasefire agreement reached last week. The rebel leader Col. Abu Moussa said
Sunday, however that his men would not surprese the Benedictans or Nahr el-Rahg refugee army, was the result.
Karami said the 4,000 to 5,000 men who traveled to Tripoli with Arafat in September and the guerrilla leader's local PLO forces must leave the city within two weeks. But he said they could return to their homes in the nearby refugee camps.
"As for the disillusion fighters, they must return to the camps, not precisely Beddawi or Nair et Hared, but to whatever regions where they are deployed, to continue their national obligations," Karami said.
