AKU researcher has been hired to study ruins that could be part of an ongoing multimillion-dollar project to develop a historical area of Kansas City, Mo The ruins, which include limestone foundations and walls, stretch along the railway property near the south bank of the Missouri River in the River Market area. Mary Adair, assistant curator at the Museum of Anthropology, will search through records and study the site for clues about the birthplace of early Kansas City, Mo., or the Town of Kansas as it was known in 1850. Adair, who is in charge of the archaeology collection at the museum, said she would document the historic details of the town. Market Adair and Kansas City, Mo., city officials on Tuesday signed a $10,000 contract for four months of archival and archeological study. "We will be able to do only a portion of what we believe will be a much larger project," Adair said. There are a much larger project, Adair said. The ruins, which may or may not date back to the 1840s, are part of a master plan by River Market Venture to develop the area, she said. "We want to determine, based on records, what was ever there," Adair said. The real dig in this project will not be an archeological one, she said. Most of the digging will be done in property records, tax records, state archives and public libraries. She said that she soon would advertise positions available for about four graduate students to work with her on the project. The research of the town's birthplace may be of local interest, Adair said. But she said the information also could be valuable to historians nationwide who studied how people moved westward and established towns along the way. "This town represents a portion of our nation'history that is connected to those outside the Kansas City area," she said. While Adair does her research at the request of the city, developers will continue to convert that area near the Missouri River into a commercial and residential district. Steven Line, director of leasing and marketing for River Market Venture, said the project began in 1989 with the restoration of the City Market, a square where farmers historically have sold fresh fruits and vegetables. The phases of the project will expand residential development around the City Market while incorporating commercial areas and several historical sites. Line said. "We are very excited about the possibility of an archeological dig." Line said. If federal money is available after Adair finishes studying the ruins, the area may be made into a historical walkway in the second phase of the project Adair said it was uncertain whether the ruins would be kept and used in development or destroyed after they had been studied. The ruins have remained mostly unstudied until now. Line said his company, which is working with the city's Landmark Commission, saw the site as a possible tourist attraction, which could help the area financially. *Sometimes things don't get done until they are endangered," she said. Accreditation board examines engineering programs at KU, does not disclose findings By Mauricio Rios Kansan staff writer Carl Locke, dean of engineering said he thought the review had been positive. The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology completed its two-day review of the School of Engineering, but its findings will not be disclosed until August 1992. Locke said that the only information the agency and the University of Kansas would release at this time about the review was that the engineering programs would remain accredited until August. "It's kept very secret," he said. "They (ABET) want to be cautious, and they want to have all the information before saving anything." Locke said the agency would reach a decision by August on whether to condemn him. "Correspondence between the two institutions is confidential," he said. The programs in the departments of chemical and petroleum engineering, physics, architectural engineering and computer engineering were reviewed for accreditation by a team of ten people from ABBT, Locke said. The only program that has not been accredited already is the computer engineering program, which was created in 1983. Locke said. James Roberts, head of the electri can and computer engineering departments, said the computer engineering program had not been accredited yet because it was so new. "We had to wait until we had some graduates," Roberts said. Roberts said he was optimistic that the program would be accredited because he had heard positive comments from the board's team. "They felt the facilities were good," he said. The board was impressed with the high morale of faculty and students, Roberts said. "They thought we had excellent students." he said. Roberts said students were aware that the computer engineering program had never been accredited. Students's prospects for jobs are hurt when they graduate from programs that have lost their accreditation, he said. Roberts said the worst that could happen to the computer program would be a delay in its accreditation. "It does't affect graduates because it is a new program," he said. Some students could have difficulties finding jobs because they did not graduate from an accredited program, he said. Arjun Krishnamoorthi,Pittsburg junior in the electrical engineering program, disagreed. CALL 843-3131 AMPRIDE GasFOOD 23rd and Haskell Introducing:The Old School Tie.
