Dorm Radar Towers to Reveal Ground Information to Scientists
Two radar towers will be constructed on the roof of Ellsworth Hall as part of a $230,000 radar research project.
These radar units will be used to detect such characteristics as moisture content of the surrounding land. The geographers of the team will play a very important role in this experiment because the radar will detect the changing environment.
A TEAM OF KU professors and graduate students are participating in the radar research project for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration which was started last summer. Government laboratories and several other universities are also doing research as part of this program. About $30,000 has been allocated to Kansas State University under a subcontract with KU.
The project is to show what contributions to earth sciences radar could make on a spacecraft.
Several experiments are presently being conducted by a team of scientists headed by Richard K.
Moore, professor of electrical engineering. Other members of the radar research team include Joe Eagleman, assistant professor of geography and meteorology; David Simo-
nett, associate professor of geography; Louis F. Dellwig, professor of geology; and M. E. Bickford, assistant professor of geology. Graduate students in geography and geology will assist in the project.
DOUBTING THOMAS?
HOPEFUL AGNOSTIC?
Christianity has more to offer than hope, it has positive proof in the form of a MIRACLE which was foretold, described and is intensely personal. Ask the Religious Leaders or send me a card marked ESP-17. My reply is free, non-Denominational, Christian. Martyn W. Hart, Box 53, Glen Ridge, N.J. 07028 (USA).
