Professor honored with symposium
By DAN HOWELL Staff Reporter
Usually a professor who excels in discipline receives high praise from colleagues and leaders in related industries.
Higuchi will receive another in a long list of honors this month when the department he created sponsors a symposium dedicated to him.
But Takeru Higuchi, Regents professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, receives praise not only because he has excelled but also because he created pharmaceutical chemistry.
THE OCT. 17-19 SYMPOSIUM will bring leaders in pharmaceutical chemistry from the United States and at least four foreign countries to discuss the topic "Directed Drug Delivery: A Multidisciplinary Problem." The symposium will be at the Inn Imm Holdeme, McDonald Drive.
Gene Martin, associate dean of the School of Pharmacy, said yesterday that Higuchi was known intermediately as the father of physical pharmacy.
"He established the discipline after World War II when he decided to apply the principles of physical chemistry to drug delivery." Martin
Higuchi's insight gave scientific underpinnings to work that had been mostly hit or-miss, Martin said.
"Before, it was all very empirical," he said. "You tried something to see if it worked."
Gary Price, Wilmette, Ill., sophomore, takes advantage of a deserted softball field near Missouri and Naismith streets to write a letter to a friend. His roommate yesterday suggested he go outside to work and Price said he discovered that he libbed it.
PHYSICAL PHARMACY REFERES to the form in which an active ingredient is carried into the body. A medicine's effectiveness depends on many factors such as age, rate of absorption and side effects.
Higuchi is in Japan this week and cannot be reached for comment.
Howard Mossberg, dean of the School of Pharmacy, said Higuchi brought vision, realism and unfailing energy to his work
"He has a lot of determination." Mossberg said. "That one characteristic is probably why all this is in place."
What is in place is a department that ranks among the best in the world and a leading research center known as INTERx, which is on West Campus. INTERx began in 1968 when Higuachi, invited to do private research for Alza Corp. of California, instead persuaded the company to build a research center here, Mossberg said.
MARTIN SAID STRONG pharmacology and toxicology and medicinal chemistry departments had been built up because of Higuchi's work.

"It became recognized as a school of pharmacy that had a broadness unmatched in the world," he said.
He said the two departments had also been helped along by two professors who helped persuade them to take over. Ed Smissman and Dwenz Wueen.
Wenzel, professor of pharmacy,
said his association with Higuchi
went back to undergraduate days at
the University of Wisconsin. Higuchi
returned to Wisconsin in 1947 and
taught there for 20 years until Wenzel
and others persuaded him to come
to the University of Kansas.
"He's contributed so much that it's hard to imagine where we'd be without him." Wenzel said.
"Maybe his greatest contribution is bringing the principles of physical chemistry and thermodynamics to pharmaceutics," he said.
HOWARD RYTTTING, PROFESOR of pharmaceutical chemistry, said Higuchi's influence had been pervasive.
University Daily Kansan, October 2, 1984
In recent years, Ryting said, Higuchi has concentrated on drug delivery and developed the use of osmosis as a pump to get medicine into the bloodstream. He also has worked with constant-rate membranes that are used in skin-patch administration of medicines.
Ron Borchardt, who succeeded Higuchi as department chairman a year ago and who is organizing the new way away and unavailable for comment
Higuchi was a Regents distinguished professor until January when he took his present half-time appointment. Mossberg said Higuchi had changed the meaning of the Regents professor title.

Local school district completes clean-up
Removing asbestos
By DAN HOWELL Staff Reporter
Asbestos clean-up is complete in Lawrence schools, district officials say, although a state survey shows it would cost $850,000 to rid the schools of the suspected cancer-causing substance.
"My understanding is that all of the asbestos has either been removed or encapsulated," Dan Neuenswander, superintendent of Unified School District 497, said yesterday.
The survey, conducted by the Kansas Department of Education, reported that it would cost $25 million to remove asbestos from public schools across the state. Asbestos has been found in 217 of the 293 districts that responded to the survey.
THE STATE BOARD of Education will recognize the survey participants.
THE STATE BOARD of Education will receive the survey report today. Ken Fisher, Lawrence assistant superintendent for business and facilities, said the district had worked for a year, most during 1962, to remove or encapulate asbestos in Lawrence public schools.
"As far as we know, we've taken care of everything." he said.
care of everything," he said.
Officials of the Environmental Protection Agency had looked at schools, run tests on samples and suggested procedures for removal and encrustation. Fisher said.
Because the district followed EPA standards, it probably will not have to take any other action, he said.
He said the district probably had spent less than $50,000 on asbestos-related work. If total removal were required, the cost could be near
THE SURVEY SHOWED that Kansas school districts have spent about $3 million in the past five years to remove or enclose asbestos
If asbestos in all Kansas schools were removed, it could cost at least $25.7 million, according to survey responses.
Dale Sayler, supervisor of industrial safety for the Kansas Department of Human Resources, said the EPA had issued regulations
requiring schools to notify parents, employees and the EPA of exposed asbestos in school buildings. How does that do not require asbestos removal?
Saylor said his office received requests every day from school officials wanting help in solving asbestos problems.
The survey's proponents, who include Gov. John Carlin, hope to learn how the state can help schools find asbestos and meet EPA regulations about it. The state may also help pay for necessary work.
SCHOOL OFFICIALS SAID in the survey that asbestos removal was slow and expensive work. If the state or federal government — or any other body such as a court — required total removal, no one knows for sure who would end up with the bill.
Joe Furjanic, attorney for the Kansas Association of School Boards, said all districts eventually would have some kind of asbestos program.
"I in the vast majority of cases, the board members and the super-intendents want to do what's best for the children and the district," he said. "But the question is still money."
In a removal program, the Wichita district could spend about $12.5 million, almost half of the state total. Removal in Salina is estimated to be the second highest cost, at $1.25 million, followed by Topeka at $1 million, then Lawrence and other large districts.
THE KANSSA CITY district was an exception to that pattern, estimating only $5,500 would be necessary to remove asbestos in its schools. It has spent $68,000 to encaselase asbestos.
The Wichita district reported that it had spent $400,000 on encapulation. The EPA is conducting to determine the effectiveness of that work.
Saylor said that no matter what approach was taken, asbestos would be a problem that would be around for a few years.
