A biomic arm, a robot and a solar-powered satellite model are just some of the many displays to be seen at the conference. Exposition tomorrow and Saturday.
The theme for this year's exposition is "Science Fiction-Science Fact." Bob Zwerekw, associate director of the school of Engineering, said recently.
"There will be some very interesting things to look at." he said.

"The project ideas are good ones and in the past years, they have developed into some pretty good efforts," Zerwekh said.
Each engineering department and some of the student engineering societies will have projects on
He said students in the various engineering departments started planning on the exposition projects early in the fall.
Guerrillas bomb Guatemalan capital
By United Press International
GUATELMALA CITY-A village military commissioner and an assistant mayor were beheaded yesterday by unknown assailants, and leftist guerrillas set off eight bombs in a raid on a provincial capital, authorities said.
Police in the village of Nimacaba], 75 miles north of the capital, said they
found the headless bodies of Jose Martinez. Suerez, town military commissioner, and Gegorio Martinez, assistant mayor.
The two decapitated bodies were dumped on different streets, but police said the same 'terrorists' undoubtedly were responsible for both killings.
Clashes around the country killed one rebel and wounded several. One person was killed.
An undetermined number of guerrillas attacked Santa Cruz Del Quiche, 32 miles northwest of Guatemala City, in a predawn attempt to capture the city of 75,000 mostly Indian residents, police said.
Authorities said that they had no casualty figures but added that the rebels exploded eight bombs before government security forces repulsed the invaders from the city, the capital of Quiche Province.
KU administrator to lecture in China
By ANN WYLIE Staff Reporter
China is importing a new product this year, which is aimed at around the psychology of infant behavior.
Frances Horowitz, vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service and professor of education at Spelman College in infant behavior in Peking this summer.
She will arrive June 6 to give a series of lectures, demonstrations and workshops for 10 Chinese scholars at the Institute of Psychology at the Academia Sinica as part of the 1982 Distinguished Scholar Exchange Program with the People's Republic of China.
When I taught in China before," she said yesterday, "I realized that they were a minority."
Horowitz taught psychology in China two years ago.
On this trip Horowitz will discuss KU and U.S. research, including recent developments in research technology, infant attention and cognitive development, measurement of newborn behavior, and observational strategies.
She said she would focus her lectures on development of this research in China.
"They may very well want to start their own research project in infant behavior." she said.
Faculty members from the Chinese Institute of Psychology visited the University of Kansas in April 1983 and returned to return the hospital, Horowitz said.
After she finished teaching, Horowitz will visit two other Chinese cities and talk with other scholars and learn more about the country.
"Psychology has just been allowed to emerge in China in the last few years since the cultural revolution," Horowitz said.
"During that time they were really cut off from the development in the
"The United States has been a primary setting for this kind of work,"
Horowitz' trip will be sponsored by the Committee on Schoolary Communication with the People's Republic of China, and the National Academy of Sciences.
The committee was formed in 1973 when the United States opened diplomatic relations with China. Its mission is to provide scholarly communications between the countries.
Horowitz applied for the exchange program more than a year ago, she said. Her application was a proposal to teach infant behavior and development.
Chinese scholars will visit the United States, too, but none will come to KU.
ASK leaders evaluate session
By COLLEEN CACY Staff Reporter
The Associated Students of Kansas can increase its effectiveness in the Kansas Legislature next year by getting more students to vote and by keeping them informed on the issues, ASK leaders said recently.
Representatives from the student lobbying group expressed some disappointment with the results of their efforts this session, but said they thought they had gained the respect of lawmakers.
"We're recognized as a legitimate voice. We have the respect of legislators." Mark Tallman, ASK executive director, said. "Now we need to work on getting some real strength behind that.
"We must dramatically increase the number of students that vote."
TALLMAN SAID that because the group's priority issues this year all involved money, the results were not entirely satisfactory.
ASK pushed for a 13 percent faculty- salary increase, an 11 percent increase in operating expenses and a 100 percent graduation-tuition fee waiver. Its requests echewed those of the Board of Congress this year.
"We were pleased with our effectiveness given the limits we were working within," Tallman said. "But the problems of higher education cannot be resolved until the state's revenue problems are solved.
"I think higher education came out as well as could be expected."
TALLMAN SAID that a $900,000 faculty-salary enrichment fund approved by the Legislature was evidence that marketers realized faculty needed extra help.
Tallman said the most important thing needed to increase the effectiveness of ASK was getting more involved in the political process.
But she said she enjoyed representing the students in Topeka.
AURH 1982 SUMMER INTERN PROGRAM

- Returning Hall Resident
ONE BLL that ASK successfully helped push through the Legislature requires Regents universities to hold a student referendum before they use student fees for new construction on campus.
- Interns continue AURH work, planning and services during the summer. Duties include assisting with Freshmen Orientation, AURH Program Development for 1982-83 and programming work for 1982-83.
"It seems that the Legislature depends on lobbyists a lot for their information—if we aren't there, they won't know."
- Interns will be provided with room and board for the summer and a stipend (to be determined).
But he said they would begin working this summer on a plan of action for fall and the 1983 session, beginning with a voter registration drive.
- May attend summer school (4 hours maximum).
"One of the problems with the Legislature is that it is very isolated. Legislators tend to forget about the issues they are trying to ease up to get caught up in the power thing."

"I felt like I was listened to and people were honest," she said. "I don't know how much good it did. It's kind of hard, because the legislators don't realize what kind of wall we're up against in the universities."
John Keightley, KU campus director of ASK, said he thought more students were becoming aware of ASK and wondered how they could support the mission of the KU

Tallman said the postcard drive was a start, but that it came too late in the session to be really effective.
He said they delivered about 400 postcards from KU students to Topeka.
