Faculty and Staff Members Find Fllying Saves Time and Gasoline
By RICK GRABILL
Kansas Staff Reporter
Although it may not be everybody's solution to the current gasoline shortage, some KU faculty and staff members find that this approach is less efficient in terms, says both gasoline and time.
the benefits of taking an airplane to another city for an engagement far outstretching our scope.
ruskam, professor of aerospace engineering.
Roskam, who is a pilot and makes many of his business trips by plane, said Friday that one of the biggest advantages of an administrative executive's using a plane was that he could put in a full day's work at his office,飞 to a meeting or speaking engagement in the evening and return home the same night.
Intoxication Gets Higher; Beer Prices To Rise Soon
Rising prices that may have driven some customers' drink may soon be driving them to abstain.
The price of beer is expected to rise soon in this area.
Distributors of Hamms, Falstaff and Schitz have notified Kansas City liquor
A REPRESENTATIVE from the Stanford University School of Law will meet with interested students at 7:30 tonight in the Pine Room of the Kansas Union to discuss law school admission requirements, racial admissions and women in law school.
THE KU PERCUSSION ENSEMBLE, directed by George R. Boberg, assistant professor of first aid and percussion, will be the first course in the University Theatre in Murphy Hall.
THE MUSIC THERAPY CLUB will meet at 8 tonight in Room 344 Worthing Hall.
stores and taverns that they plan to increase up to 30 cents a case and $2.56
Firms that distribute other brands also are expected to raise prices in Kansas City. No price increase by Lawrence action seems inevitable, according to representatives.
Cliff McDonald, owner of McDonald Beverages Inc., the local distributor for Budweiser, said increased production and lower prices would necessitate busher wholesale beer prices.
"We know it's going to happen, but we don't know how soon," he said.
McDonald said retailers in Salina and Emporia already had to pay 15 cents more a case and $150 to $2 more a kett for Buddies. The kett would soon be charged in Lawrence.
"I doubt very much if you see an additional increase in prices at bars," McDonald said. "Experience throughout the state has shown that bars have not raised prices, and you know their prices earlier, and they don't want to save customers out of the market."
Grocery stores and liquor stores probably will boost prices, he said.
Tom Jackson, router supervision for Lapeka Beverages Inc., distributor of Coors said, "There will be a price increase, but we don't know when it will be or how much it
In view of the gasoline problem which is hampering motorists across the nation, Roskam says, airplanes are far superior to cars.
He said his company had no set plans to raise prices and increases would occur only in the event of an emergency.
"We prefer to fly," he said, "because where you would get maybe 10 miles to the gallon at 70 mph. in a car, the airplane will get 15 miles per gallon going 130 mph. h."
The University owns four airplanes, which are used primarily for transporting staff members to business and speaking engagements around the state.
The University's airplanes also are used in student instruction. With the planes the aerospace engineering department can take advantage of dynamic principles taught in the classroom.
"It's one thing to show students flight techniques in the classroom, but quite another thing," she said.
KU's "air force" was recently bolstered by the acquisition of a 1974 Cessna Skyhawk II. The four-seat, single-engine plane will be used by the aerospace engineering faculty at Rockwell Automation stations in conjunction with classroom work and for faculty and staff travel.
According to Roskam, the $21,000 Cessna was actually donated to KU by the Cessna company. Under the terms of the Cessna had donated the plane for research because of the company's interest in projects conducted by the Flight Research Society of the aerospace engineering department.
The laboratory, a research and development program operated by faculty members and students opened six years ago. The results induced Cesna to donate the plane.
Roskam estimates that the new Cessna will be flown 500 hours a year.
"Those 500 hours will cover a substantial distance when you multiply that by approximately 140 m.p.h.", he said. "That comes out to 70,000 miles, and at that point most cars are shot. But the airplane will be able to go on for another 10 years."
Roskam said that the shortage of petroleum products and the possibility of gasoline rationing would stimulate an increase in the amount of travel by air.
Roskam said he didn't think there would be a shortage of fuel used in small aircraft because that fuel only comprised one to 1/2 per cent of the nation's petroleum products.
Flexibility and versatility are qualifications that a high school woman should look for when choosing a college major and career, according to the speakers at Beyond High School. Beyond High School was presented Saturday at the University of Kansas by the KU Commission on the Status of Women.
Gap Between Promises, Performance Source of Discrimination, Taylor Says
The theme of the program was "Anything You Want To Be," and presentations included speeches on careers and the women's movement.
After a welcoming speech by Chancellor Archue R, Dykes, Emily Taylor, dean of women, spoke on sex discrimination in jobs and in the home.
acted. Much discrimination can occur within that difference, she said.
Taylor said she thought it was necessary to keep a careful eye on the difference between those who are not wearing masks.
Taylor said that the year in which most of the participants in the symposium were hired were two men, she started her career at KU. At that time, she said, women were trying to decide between a career or homemaking instead of combining the two roles as many women do
Education to the woman in 1956 was an "insurance policy" in many cases, said Taylor, a guard against being caught without a marriage.
"Even now 20 per cent of the graduate degrees that women hold are going to waste because they are holding jobs that have no return on investment in the women acquired," she said.
Five KU women professors and one student also spoke.
The women were Beverley Anderson, assistant professor of business; Sharon Drydale, assistant professor of physical education; Ellen Gold, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; Janet Sheristanian, acting assistant professor of law; Beaver, associate professor of law; and Beaver, mission senior in engineering.
Caryl K. Smith and Walter Smith, associate deans of women on careers, spoke in the afternoon. Discussion groups followed in which the high school women at the symposium talked to faculty members and KU students.
Approximately 40 high school women attended the symposium.
