Profs to Check Sensors
KU Lab Will Test Skylab Transmitter
By BILL JONES Kansan Staff Reporter
Four projects involving KU scientists will be carried out by the next Skylab mission, which begins Friday, according to Richard K. Moore, professor of electrical engineering and director of the KU remote sensing laboratory.
The four projects, Moore said, are associated with an SI93 microwave sensor attached to the orbiting laboratory. The chief project involving the SI93 is an evaluation of the performance of the sensor, which is a prototype for a sensor that will study wind and wave characteristics of the earth's oceans in the future.
At present, there are 15 satellites measuring wind-wave characteristics. William Spencer, project engineer for experiments conducted by the remote sensing team at the University, extremely small amount of data was gathered because of the vastness of the oceans.
A satellite with a device similar to
could examine all the earth's oceans in
90 minutes.
The SI83 sensor works by transmitting a microwave pulse and then measuring the intensity of the pulse reflected from the earth's surface.
If the surface of the earth is rough, the microwave beam is scattered in many directions and the reflected beam is weak. The depth of the reflected beam is relatively high.
The S13S sensor was tested in earlier Skylab missions. During the second manned Skylab, the precise pattern of energy transmitted by the parabolic antenna of the S13S sensor was determined by a set of five small microwave receivers on the ground,
It will take less than 30 seconds for the beam to pass over the receivers, Spencer
During the upcoming Skylab mission, Skylab will pass over Kansas and, with the help of two receivers, K189 instruments will test its capabilities (189) and make sure that it is still operating properly.
Spencer said that data obtained by Skylab wasn't received until the astronauts brought it back on tapes at the end of a mission.
However, the ground crews testing the SI93 sensor with their microwave receivers will know immediately after the test whether the sensor was working.
"They could be taking a lot of measurements with a sensor that was not working, and waste a lot of valuable astronaut time," Spencer said.
Goldsmith Says U.S. Designers Need Manufacturing Knowledge
Students educated only in jewelry design have no understanding of the manufacturing end of the jewelry industry, Peter Gainsbury, an English goldsmith, told a University of Kansas jewelry class yesterday.
Gainsbury, a technical development officer of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, a London-based guild of goldsmiths, spoke to the class and showed films and slides of the guild's collection of silver and gold works.
"Students don't learn things that industry needs," Gumshai said. He urged the students to do so.
gemmology and business administration in addition to their design courses.
Gainsbury's job entails visiting countries around the world every three years and reporting back to his guild his opinions on its products. The original product design outside of England.
"Industrial design in America is awful," he said, noting that there isn't sufficient communication between designers and the industry in this country.
If designers could work together with the jewelry industry, Gainsbury said, the taste of the public could be improved. American brands have built little more than an assembly of parts.
Board Scraps Breakfasts
A three-week old plan to determine the need for a free breakfast program in Lawrence schools was scrapped at last year's Board of Education meeting by a 72-ye
The board voted to abandon plans for a parent survey and to substitute a special milk program for which federal funds became available last week.
The breakfast program was suggested by some members as a possible substitute for the milk program. Not all board members agreed that the schools should take on the responsibility of providing a morning meal or that there was a need for such a program.
Last spring, the government cut back funds for the milk program and the board decided not to continue the program. Last week, however, the federal government announced funding would be restored to last year's level.
The board did agree to develop a survey to determine such a need, however.
John H. Spearman Jr., board member, and a Lawrence High School student on the board opposed the decision to discontinue the survey.
Haskell to Hear Talk by Morton
Rogers C.B. Morton, secretary of the interior, will address a Haskell student assembly at 10 a.m. Thursday in the office at Haskell Indian Junior College.
He will attend a luncheon with Haskell student senators and members of the Campus Activities Board following the assembly.
Morton will also attend a Republican fund raising dinner in Topeka Thursday night and will speak to Washburn University students Friday.
Senior "Mugs & Suds" Party
Besides testing the S193 sensor to make sure that it is still operating properly, Moore and Spencer will compare Skylab data with data taken from ground-based instruments to find out whether the S193 sensor can do what it theoretically should be able to do.
Tuesday, Nov. 6
The next Skylab will also use the SI83 sensor to make a catalogue of the kinds of measurements obtained from different kinds of land surfaces.

—The disclosure about the notebooks was made during court proceedings in which U.S. District Court Judge John J. Sirica indicated he would turn down motions to withdraw guilty pleas made by Hunt and four other Watergate trial defendants.
