More funds for mineral research expected
Staff Renorter
By ROBIN ROBERTS
A proposal that would increase funding for the University of Kansas' mining and mineral resources research institute by $110,000 was scheduled to reach Washington yesterday for the university to fund the chemical and petroleum engineering department, said recently.
"We have been told we'll get the money," Proston said "but they have to have a
Preston said the grant would be administered to students of surface mining, where he is department.
'THE OFFICE of surface mining is required by the 1977 surface mining act *i*
create, within each state that qualifies, a mining and mineral resources research institution.
Funding for the institutes must be allocated before Oct. 1, beginning of the new year.
However, Preston said, KU already has a mining and mineral research institute, so the grant money would provide for expansion.
The existing institute is directed by David C. Craft, dean of the School of Engineering, and William Hambleton, director of the Kansas Geological Survey. Preston said the institute had sponsored several research projects.
THE INSTITUTE'S main project is the
Preston said the $110,000 would be used to:
· Establish a program of mineral resources management within a broader engineering management;
tertiary oil recovery project. The project deals with the third stage of oil recovery which requires injecting steam, carbon dioxide and oxygen in oil reservoirs to force the oil to the surface.
- Support starter grants in a broad area relating to mineral and mining research, including biological, environmental sciences to "build a broader base of research."
The Airport Motel, RFD 3, had seven rooms available for that weekend, a spokesman for the motel said. The motel has 12 rooms.
Motels filled for Parents' Day, but students' floors are available
- Try to coordinate mineral resources research within the state and act as an介导员.
- Provide petroleum and natural gas laboratory facilities for graduate and undergraduate teaching and for graduate research.
Naaman Greer, desk manager for the Ramada Inn, 2222 W. Sixth St., said last all rooms at the motel were reserved for the Sept. 23 weekend a long time ago.
"I could have sold out a 1,000-room motel," Greed said.
However, other details of the day's events have not been completed, he said.
Preston said to qualify for the grant, a state must have an educational and research program in one of six disciplinary areas. It also requires a graduate degree in chemical engineering qualified
"THESE THINGS will amplify our base of programs, which has to be done to qualify."
To meet another requirement, Gov. Bennett designated KU as the location for Bennett's building.
Another requirement called for non-
funding federal to match the federal funds
Preston said that the non-federal funds in the state funding for the tertiary oil industry are up.
Preston said the institute would be directed primarily toward academic program development and training of people in the field of mining and mineral research. The grant would provide fellowships and graduate research support.
Local motel spokesmen say they have completed arrangements for that weekend, but KU officials still are working on plans for Parents' Day.
the University, used about 25 percent its $2 million budget to finance mining and
A tour of the renovated dressing rooms at Memorial Stadium and the Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Arts also are planned, Meyers said.
However, Preston said, the survey's research is largely done by full-time
"THE WOULD, by no means, be all of the mining and mineral research going on at the U.S. Mining Commission."
THE INSTITUTE would devote research to petroleum, natural gas, coal, limestone, aggregate, clay, volcanic ash and minerals of the briquette, brine, such as bromine and iodine, heed.
He said the geological survey, a branch of
Preston told the institute also would deal with problems of extracting minerals, upgrading, and marketing and transporting them.
Every hotel in town, except one, is full for the Friday and Saturday nights of the traditional weekend activities, a check by the Kansan showed.
He said the institute would deal with any environmental problems created.
According to KU's director of admissions, John Meyers, who is in charge of Parents' Day activities, a reception will be at 10 a.m. Sept. 23 in the Kansas University.
Mom and Dad might have to sleep on their student's floor if they haven't already made reservations at local motels for Parents' Day Sept. 23.
The Ramada has 110 rooms.
