6 Friday, October 24, 1986 / University Daily Kansan Kline favors spending cuts By KAREN SAMELSON Staff writer Phill Kline, Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, told fellow law students yesterday that he was confident the U.S. government could cut its budget by about $200 billion without disrupting needed services. He said that balancing the budget would be difficult to do without freezing Social Security payments or in other ways. He is challenging U.S. Rep. Jim Slattery, D-Topeka, for the Kansas 2nd District seat. Kline spent about 30 minutes talking about campaign issues before taking questions from fellow students. Kline, a third-year KU law student, got the chance to stand on the other side of a Green Hall lectern for a change, addressing about 30 students at a noon forum sponsored by the Student Bar Association. One student asked whether Kline's attendance record in his law classes was indicative of what voters could expect from him in Congress. "That'a a fair question." he said sheepishly, adding that the answer was no. Discussing his support for a constitutional amendment to require a balanced budget, Kline emphasized the need to freeze and eventually decrease the budget in all areas except Social Security and some other entitlement programs. He criticized Slattery for exceeding the president's budget recommendations by $16 billion this summer and for office expenses that topped those of the four other Kansas representatives. If elected, he would accept a 20 percent cut in his salary and congressional staff allocations, Kline said. He said his support of financing for 'the Strategic Defense Initiative was compatible with his call to take action. He will be done by cutting other areas of the defense budget without hurting the United States' defense capacity. He also said he thought expenditures could be reduced by encouraging U.S. allies in Europe to pay more of their own defense costs. Kline said he did not support a nuclear test ban treaty because the Soviet Union already had tested its weapons, and it would be almost criminal if the U.S. did not test its own weapons. Saying that U.S. allies support SDI, Kline explained that he supported it because technology could not be stopped, so it made sense to harness it. Kline declined to take a stand on chemical weapons saying that he wanted to look into the issue further. Engineers soar above the rest KU team takes first place in aeronautic competition By PATRICIA FEENY The KU department of aerospace engineering is flying high after winning awards in a national competition sponsored by the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics, a professional organization for engineers. Anlam Lamp, Carlyle, Ill., graduate student, won the individual competition for a design of an airplane that protects leaks in underground pipelines. "I designed a remotely piloted vehicle that was capable of flying over pipelines, which can cover several states, for 10 hours," Lampa said. "If it detected a leak, it would send out a signal to a ground crew who would fix it." Lampe didn't actually build a plane but used formulas and math models to design a plane that could theoretically detect such leaks. The AIAA sponsors three contests for schools with aerospace engineering programs. The contests are for individual entries, team airplane en tries and team space entries. The University of Kansas also won the first-place team award for its entry of a plane that theoretically could fly two pilots and two passengers from New York to Paris at a rate twice the speed of sound. Jan Roskam, professor of aerospace engineering, said KU had won the individual competition for the first time to represent team airplane competition for three. Roskam said KU did not enter the team space competition because the school placed more emphasis on aeronautics than aerospace. Lampe said he learned of the competition when he took an advanced design class in the spring. One of the class options was to design a plane for the MIAA specifications and send it to the national headquarters in New York. Llampe said he had worked on his project for six months. He did most of his work at Learned Hall. His plane was sitting wing span and and was six feet long. quirements, he thought the project would be difficult and was worried that he might not be able to design it. "It was a tough problem," Roskam said of LaMorte's work. "But he solved it." Many people knew that Lamel had won the contest, which had 41 other entries, before he did. Lamel said he had won the contest before he knew he was the winner. The AIAA awarded Lampe $1,000 at the beginning of September but he said he had not spent any of the money yet. "I would like to do some traveling in December maybe," he said. "And there is always tuition, but that's kind of boring." Financially, the competition was a big booster, he said, but also an honor. The competition is something that is well known in the industry. When Lampe read the AIAA re- Roskam said the contest conti- tured to a student both intellec- tional and professional. "The competition is an excellent preparation in overall design," Roskam said. Pros, cons of election top debate Staff writer By BETH COPELAND A debate sponsored by the Douglas County League of Women Voters last night addressed the five state constitutional amendments on the ballot for the Nov. 4 general election. Six Lawrence residents, including Clifford Ketzel, professor of political science, and State Rep. Jessie Branson, D-Lawrence, discussed pros and cons of the amendments in front of about 40 people at the Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St. Gary Toebben, executive vice president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce on the debate agenda and part-time member, first the amendment on the ballot. Toebben said legalized betting on horse and dog races would create between 1,200 and 1,500 jobs in the state. Ketzel countered, saying parimutuel wagering would have negative social effects because people at the bottom of the scladder would be attracted to making a fast buck. These arguments were similar to those presented by Toebben and Ketzel regarding a state lottery. Toebben favored the lottery amendment, saying the bulk of the money would go to economic development in the state. Branson addressed both sides of an amendment that would give the Kansas Legislature oversight powers over the state Board of Education — an issue she called about as exciting as watching paint dry. "Kansas is creating jobs at about half the rate of other states in the nation," he said. "Liquor by the drink creates jobs in the service industry." Toebben also supported the liquor-by-the-drink amendment, concluding that it, too, would bring more money to the state. Regarding both pari-mutuel wagering and a state lottery, Ketzel said taxes were a more efficient and effective way to raise revenue. The Rev. Jimmy Cobb of the First Southern Baptist Church, 1917 Naismith Drive, said the state's liqueur laws prevented alcoholism and job absenteeism. She said this amendment would allow the Legislature to have more control over funds. Finally, Nancy Hambleton and Marian Warriner, Lawrence residents, supported an amendment that would tax different classes of property at different rates. KU site for meeting of world architects By CRAIG HERRMANN Modern architects, seemingly obsessed with impressing their peers, have forgotten that the buildings they design should serve the cultural needs of the people for whom they are built, a KU professor said yesterday. David Saile, associate professor of architecture, said this would be one of the problems examined in an international conference on the relationships between architecture and culture. The conference will be Nov. 5-8 at the University of Kansas. "Built Form and Culture Research Conference: Purposes in Understanding Socio-cultural Aspects of Built Environments" will draw participants from the United States and 25 other countries, according to Saile, director of the conference. Conference participants will discuss research about the cultural and social aspects of architecture and ways to make professional design and design education more sensitive to the values of cultural groups around the world. During the last decade, architects have noticed the lack of attention given to the specific needs and features of a culture when designing buildings, Saile said. "Since the United States has such a variance of cultural groups, it's important for architects to be aware of cultural variances," Salle said. "We need to investigate how to best make an environment socially and culturally appropriate," he said. "If designers aren't aware of cultural differences, the forms they design may be inadequate for the people's needs. The designs must be appropriate for the folk for whom they are designing." Sailie said he thought architects and designers should carefully consider varying human cultural styles when designing buildings. "In addition to looking at things like the climatic and structural needs of the form," he said, "designers must also consider aspects such as the beliefs and family structures of the people who will be using the buildings. more sensitive to culture. "I think there has been a growing dissatisfaction with modern architecture, the 'glass and concrete' buildings," he said. Max Lucas, dean of architecture and urban design, said that since the first Built Form and Culture Research Conference, KU has attracted a greater variety of students to this graduate program. The first conference on this type of architecture research was at KU in 1984 and drew about 200 participants from 15 countries. Sailie he thought the conference was unique because scholars and practitioners gathered. They come from many disciplines, including cultural geography, anthropology, environmental psychology and sociology, and political science. ■ Lawrence police reported that a color television, valued at $150, was taken between Monday and Wednesday from an apartment in the 200 block of North Michigan Street. "More students from other parts of the country and the world have been enrolling in our program," Lucas said. "I'm sure some of that was the result of professors who attended the conference telling their graduates about KU." On the Record "It's important for people from different disciplines to discuss this topic because human life itself is interdisciplinary," he said. a. m.
