KU competing for NASA contract
The University of Kansas has better than a 90 per cent chance of winning a NASA contract for a design consultation center, Jan Roskam, professor of aerospace engineering and director of KU's Flight Research Lab, said yesterday.
KU's proposal for the $540,000 three-year contract was mailed yesterday. B. G. Barr, executive director of KU's Center for Research, Inc. (CRINC), said it would be at least a month or two before proposals were evaluated by NASA.
The proposed General Aviation Low-Speed Airflow Design and Development Service will be the first of its kind built, Roskaski said.
This service will assist general aviation companies, such as Beech Aircraft and Cessna Aircraft, in the design of airfoils, the cross-section of an airplane wing.

Students get clipped as price of haircut rises in Lawrence
Joe Leach, owner of the Malls Barber
Joe, 711 West 23rd St., said the increase
remained from the pressures of inflation,
due to higher rent, utility bills and
supply costs.
The price of a haircut in many Lawrence barbershops increases last month from $3 to $5.
Leach said the cost of staying in business is 20 to 30 per cent higher this year than in the previous year.
The increase, which went into effect Aug. 1 in five of eight Lawrence barbershops interviewed, was the first price hike since early last year, when some area shops raised prices from $2.75 to $3.
Ernest Koleber, owner of Ernie's Barber Shop, 727 Massachusetts St., said he would continue charging $2.75 for a haircut, which included taxes he had charged for the past three years.
