NASA souvenirs, space memorabilia displayed at KU
Photographs of the moon, samples of space food and an astronaut's spacesuit are among the items on display at the Larry Winn Jr. Congressional Space Exhibit in Nichols Hall on West Campus.
Winn donated most of the memorabilia to the University. The Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration also donated items for the exhibit.
Bob Walters, research facilities manager for the KU Space Technology Center in Niobia, said the items in the Apollo program are representative of the Apollo program era.
WNN; A KU alumnus and Kansas 3rd district representative to the U.S. House of Representatives, is a member of the House committee on Science and Technology and the Subcommittee on Space Science Applications.
Through his associations with the Apollo, Skylab and space shuttle programs, Winn acquired about 75 items of memorabilia.
A miniature KU flag that was carried to the moon on Apollo 17 was donated by alumnus Ron Evans, who was a member of the flight crew.
Another KU alumus, Joe Engle, who participated in the first space shuttle flight, donated a picture of the shuttle to the University.
PHOTOGRAPHS include various views of the moon, pictures of space launches and ships in orbit, and pictures of all the Apollo crews.
A sandwich-size foil bag labeled "delicious ready-to-eat assortment of freeze-dried strawberry, chocolate and vanilla ice cream pieces that melt in your mouth," is an example of a space meal.
Former college athlete ineligible for benefits
By United Press International
INDIANAPOLIS — A former college football player, paralyzed during a practice, is ineligible for workmen's compensation because he was a student, not a professional athlete, at the time of his accident, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled yesterday.
in a unanimous decision the state's high court said the meaning of amateur athletics, as defined by the National College Athletics Association, was at stake in the case.
FRED RENNSING, 26, was paralyzed during spring football practice at Indiana State University at Terreasure High School. He was suffered during a puncturing drill.
"We find the evidence here shows that Rensing enrolled at Indiana State University as a full-time student seeking advanced educational opportunities," Justice Donald Hunter wrote for the court.
"He was not considered to be a professional athlete who was being paid for his athletic ability."
The case has drawn the attention of the NCAA and universities worried about the possible financial consequences of extending insurance coverage provided to employees injured in workplace accidents, to athletes.
The Supreme Court said the issue to be decided was whether Rensing's athletic scholarship created an employer-employee relationship.
Under the terms of the scholarship, Renship agreed to play football in return for free tuition, room, board, laboratory fees, a book allowance and free game tickets for family and friends.
"A fundamental policy of the NCAA, which is stated in its constitution, is that intercollegiate sports are viewed as part of the professional sports distinguished from the professional sports business," the court said.

Bill would give juco control to state
CSC
Get to know us better.
A bill that would bring community colleges and some vocational-technical schools under authority of the Kansas Board of Regents will be introduced today or tomorrow, a state senator said yesterday.
By JEFF TAYLOR Staff Reporter
State Sen. Paul Hess, R-Wichita, chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee; said he thought the would create a swarm of controversy.
The plan does not include Washburn University, he said.
But, he said, the state had to pursue a more coordinated approach to its method of financing higher education.
"We ought to have somebody looking over all their shoulders at the same moment."
HE SAID the heart of the bill was legislative control over the community colleges' budgets.
The bill will be introduced by the Ways and Means Committee.
"If they give me some good reasons about what would be accomplished, that the Board of Regents is doing a job," he then might go for 1." Chayne said
Hess has expressed concern in the past about the number of community colleges and universities in the state.
He said that now, each school tended to act independently.
Days and Means Committee. Hess said that if the bill passed, the
STATE SEN. Bert Chaney, D-Hutchinson, a member of the Ways and Means Committee, said Hess's idea was premature.
Hess agreed that the unorganized community college system was a problem. He also said that his plan would allow high school students to the state's support of higher education.
Legislature would be able to review the state's 19 community colleges in the same way that it examined Regents schools.
“Hess is whistling in the dark”
Chaney said. “He knows it as well as I
do.”
HE SAID that he would support bringing the community colleges under regional control but that it would be much harder to do than Regents should have the responsibility
Chancy said Hess needed to prove that the Regents could adequately handle governing the community colleges and vo-tech schools.
"I don't know what they'll accomplish by putting them under the Board."
Community colleges receive one-third of their funds from the state, Hess said, and are controlled by boards of trustees.
He said the money the state provided to community colleges equalled the amount it paid for Pittsburgh State University and Fort Hays State University.
Chaney said that for several years
the community colleges had wanted to be under the jurisdiction of special boards in different regions of the state.
he was advocated that the state eliminate some of its smaller universities and spend more money on the larger ones.
