concerned with radar, it also deals with such sensing devices as infrared, microwave radiometry and photography.
Laboratory Is Unique
The laboratory is unique in that it combines the disciplines of geography and geology with engineering.
Feasibility studies involving the use of radar in the Apollo moon program involve five professors and 12 graduate students in electrical engineering, and five professors and eight graduate students in geology and geography.
The geography staff is headed by D. S. Simonett, professor of geography. The geology staff is headed by L. F. Dellwig, professor of geology. The engineering staff consists of R. D. Ellermeier, associate professor of electrical engineering; and H. H. Doemland, D. L. Kelly, and A. K. Fung, assistant professors of electrical engineering.
Interdisciplinary space research was boosted at KU in 1962 through the NASA Sustaining University Program. Barr said this program has "produced a greater awareness of U.S. space goals in every corner of the KU campus."
Joint Effort
Under the program, investigators in the life sciences, earth sciences, behavioral sciences and the school of business have joined engineers, physicists and chemists in space-related research.
One major research project involves radiation damage in solids under the joint direction of Jack W. Culvahouse and Robert J. Friauf, professors of physics; Zeller; and Larry J. Kevan, assistant professor of chemistry.
Professors from the mechanical
engineering department and the school of business initiated the Business Engineering Technical Application (BETA) program to help local industry get the benefits of space research.
EETA conducts searches of scientific literature to find solutions to industrial problems. In one case, student researchers found a way to weld crystals without heat and solved a Lawrence firm's production problem at little cost to the firm.
The BETA program, which operates from limited space in the CRES building, will be housed in the space building.
Also under the NASA sustaining program, the departments of chemistry and physics conducted a chemical physics seminar to interchange knowledge concerning space science and technology.
Barr estimated that more than one-man year was spent in securing the NASA grant by professors and staff members in all disciplines in the University. This represents only the time necessary to prepare a proposal and does not include the years of research necessary for KU to qualify for a grant.
Barr said the grant was made because of the "excellent cooperation of administration, faculty and staff in proposal preparation and grant negotiation."
The grant was awarded 19 months after the KU Space Technology Building Committee began work on the 200-page proposal.

Lecturer praises Cicero
His ideas on education formed a framework for Medieval education. His essays were always about ethics, education or politics.

"DOWN THROUGH the 19th century his ideas on oratory were employed, for example in the French Revolution and even in the speeches of our founding fathers," he said.
McDermott, a combination of archaeologist, classicist and ancient historians, teaches at Pennsylvania University.
