KU projects finally mav get into space
A professor and his students in the department of physics and astronomy are expecting to get their science project into space because of NASA's release Friday of a flight schedule for the space shuttle program.

The shuttle program was to have launched two space probes this year, Galileo and Ulysses, which would have used computer programs and a radiation sensor developed by Thomas Armstrong, KU professor of physics and astronomy, and his student research assistants.
All launches were postponed after the explosion of the shuttle Challenger in January, and most of the hardware sits in warehouses at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.
Since the shuttle accident, Armstrong said, he and co-workers have been working toward launching the Galileo probe in November 1989. Armstrong has not seen the official schedule, he said, but he thinks that date still stands.
Stanley Shawhan, branch chief for space plasma physics at NASA headquarters in Washington D.C., said that even though neither Galileo nor Ulyssess were mentioned by name in the new flight schedule, three dates for probe launches were set.
"This is no surprise," he said about the launch schedule. "It is a very conservative judgement on the part of NASA."
Shawhan said he didn't know when the first "planetary opportunity" launch would be but that it would involve either the Galileo, Ulysses or a Mars probe.
Armstrong said he thought NASA spent $100 million a year just keeping the $1 billion Galileo probe ready for launching. Shawhan could not confirm the cost.
"There still are a lot of technical questions that have to be answered before we can decide which probe goes on which flight," he said.
Both the Galileo probe, overdue for a rendezvous with Jupiter, and the Ulysses probe, headed for the Sun, will use computer programs and a sensor developed at KU to measure the level of high-energy radiation.
NASA officials think it's too unsale to carry the Centaur booster rocket in the shuttle's payLOAD bay, which is from where probes will be launched into interplanetary trajectories, Armstrong said.
The probe will fly 10 times closer to Jupiter than the last probe, Voyager, Armstrong said. Galileo will send back a large number of finely detailed full color photographs of Jupiter and its moons. It also will measure the radiation from the planet.
A probe also will be dropped into
Jupiter's atmosphere to measure density, temperature, pressure and composition, he said.
The development of this booster rocket cost NASA $600 million, and little of that research can be put to any other uses, he said.
If the probe is launched in 1989, it should reach Jupiter in 1994 and then take two more years to complete its mission, he said. Originally, Galileo was to have been launched in 1983.
The Ulysses probe is largely funded by the European Space Agency, Armstrong said. Originally, two probes should have been sent out, one to each pole of the sun. But five years ago NASA cancelled its plans to build. Armstrong said.
Financing for the projects would remain constant, but would need to be stretched out over a longer period of time, he said.
NASA also decided after the shuttle explosion to scrap the Centaur booster rocket that had delayed the launch in 1983, Armstrong said.
With the liquid-fuel Centaur booster, to be ignited after the shuttle was launched in space, Galileo could travel to Jupiter in two years, he said. With a slower solid-fuel booster the trip would take five years.
For Armstrong and his students, the postponement of the launch was just another disappointment. Six students, on and off, have been working with him on the Galileo project since 1977, he said.
Store provides exposure for KU. Lawrence artists
Bv CRAIG HERRMANN
Staff writer
Surrounded by sterling silver jewelry and intricate glasswork, KU students Laura Nufire and Teresa Harrison said that Quixotic Artistry was like no other art store in Lawrence.
Nuiref and Harrison, co-owners of Quixotic Artistry, 729 $ _{1/2} $ Massachusetts St., said their store was unique because they only accepted work from artists at the University of Kansas and in the Lawrence area.
Since the store opened in July, they've made a few changes, including a move from a storefront location on Eighth Street to a smaller second-floor location in an area that sees more shoppers. But they said the store's purpose remained the same.
Nufire, Lawrence senior, said she hoped the store would be a showcase for artists who might not normally display their work.
"We wanted to create a place where local artists could freely display and sell just about any kind of art." Nufire said. "There are a lot of really creative artists at KU and in Lawrence that need exposure."
The store features items such as hand-dyed T-shirts for about $7 and sterling silver pendants for more than $100.
Harrison, Lawrence senior, said she and Nufire wanted to escape from the stuffy atmosphere some art stores seemed to have by making their shop comfortable and accessible to shopper and the artists themselves.
She said some art stores could shatter a beginning artist's confidence with a formal acceptance procedure that required a presentation and an interview.
Nufire said several artists who had come to the store equipped with a full-scale presentation of their art were surprised by the lack of formality at the store.
Marion Dyer, a Lawrence artist, said she was excited about Quixotic Artistry because of the opportunities for artists in the area.
Carolyn Elesh, Chicago junior, said she was attracted to the store because now she could display her experimental jewelry made from plastic and paper.
"If you feel like you have a market for your work, you feel like putting more energy into it." Dyer said.
"I worked in a jewelry store over the summer and had a difficult time trying to sell my art," she said.
Elesh also said she could see what other artists in the community were doing outside the classroom.
Nufire said the idea for the store came to her during a jewelry class last spring.
"I looked around and saw other students going into business for themselves and thought I could do it, too," she said.
She said that since she already had an interest in making jewelry, an art store that sold student art would be perfect.
After talking to her friends and other students in her jewelry class, she finally convinced Harrison to help her go into business.
"Laura is more anxious, more excited about things, while I'm usually the one to sit back and analyze things," Harrison said. "Together, we can be get a lot of work done."
Harrison also said that although they had differing tastes in art, she enjoyed working with Nufire.
"Our creativities flow together when we work together," Harrison said. "There is no competition between us."
Dyer said she enjoyed displaying her art in the store because Harrison and Nufire worked hard at maintaining a communication between themselves and the artists.
"They work really hard at getting feedback from artists on how they feel about the store and how their art is being displayed," she said. "I really feel like I have some control."
Mark Pitner, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, junior, said he was pleased with the store owners' response to his glasswork. He said he wasn't concerned about selling his art as much as he was about his art getting some exposure.
Nufire said she hoped the store would consolidate artists in the area by bringing their artworks together.
"I hope we can help artists help each other so we all might be able to grow," she said.

Prof says drug hype near Prohibition level
Staff writer
"Kansas will ignore the farm credit crisis to watch some pied piper pee in a cun."
By COLLEEN SIEBES
That was William McKnelly's recent assessment of the drug-prevention issue and its role in the 1986 political campaigns. He said the issue had "turned into band-aid political hysteria."
McKnelly, a professor of psychiatry at the College of Health Sciences who treats drug addictions, said politicians had ignored important issues to make the illegal drug problem the primary issue in their campaigns.
"Drugs is a panic-conductive issue with universal appeal," McKnelly said yesterday.
Political campaigns have turned to Prohibition hyve, he said.
"Everyone is trying to outdo everyone else to see who can be the most anti-drug," McKnell said.
The drug issue is a trendy, hot issue for politicians, he said, because it has become a national hysteria and it is non-controversial.
"I haven't seen anyone campaigning for dope," McKenny said.
However, Woerman said, now is the best time to deal with the drug issue because it has gained so much national attention. Stephan has organized a task force to study drug abuse in Kansas.
Neil Woerman, spokesman for Attorney General Bob Stephan, who is seeking his third term in office, said the farm problem still was the primary concern of Kansas politicians.
"Whatever the motivation for the drug issue may be, it's appropriate
because it is a serious problem." Woerman said.
Ron Francisco, associate professor of political science, said drugs had become a prominent issue after being ignored for a long time.
Francisco said that the budget deficit, teenage pregnancy and the farm crisis were more important issues but that drug prevention was big because it was safe.
"Who's against drug prevention?" he asked.
However, Francisco said he didn't think politicians could do anything about the problem except increase public awareness.
"You can't legislate public behavior." he said.
Bill Scherich, statewide coordinator of the Kansas alcohol safety-action project under the Douglas County Citizens Committee on
Political awareness of the illegal drug problem has increased because of the national attention brought about by the media's exposure of cocaine use among respectable people in society. Scheuhr said.
Alcoholism, said that although there was no cure for drug abuse, increased public awareness and educational programs could prevent future abuse.
An example is Len Bias, a former basketball player at the University of Maryland and first draft choice for the Boston Celtics, who died this summer from an acaine overdose.
Don Rogers, defensive back for the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League, also died this summer of a cocaine overdose.
McKnelly mentioned alcoholism as one issue that deserved more attention than drugs.
Alcoholism isn't being ignored, Scheirich said, it just isn't the primary concern of society right now.
"Politicians are responding to the public's outcry against illegal drugs," said Jim Flory, Douglas County district attorney.
Flory is one of 30 people on Stephan's statewide task force.

Scheirich said, "Alcohol is a much bigger problem, but society feels more threatened by illegal drug use."

But, because alcohol is legal, abuse is socially acceptable, and the problem doesn't receive the attention it deserves, he said.
Alcohol-related deaths outnumber the deaths caused by all other illegal drug deaths put together and squared. McKnelly said.
