NASA site to be dedicated
James E. Webb, the man in charge of the United States space program, will be at KU at 3:30 p.m. April 1 to dedicate the site of the Space Technology building. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has contributed $1.8 million and the state of Kansas $354,000 for the building.
Webb, administrator of NASA, will make dedicatory remarks on the planned site for the building, which is to be located west of Iowa Street from the Daisy Field dormitory area and about 100 yards east of the Center for Research in Engineering Science.
Webb also will speak that evening at the annual meeting and banquet of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
The new building will be a three-story research structure of approximately 70,000 square feet. It is being designed by state architect William R. Hale with Hollis and Miller of Overland Park the associate architects.
The building will be used for interdisciplinary studies involving such departments as electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, geography, geology, botany, physics, chemistry, psychology, and the School of Business.
One of NASA's major purposes in granting funds for the building was to foster such research, and KU was chosen because it already had demonstrated an interdisciplinary capability with such groups as the Remote
Sensing Laboratory headed by Richard K. Moore.
The facility also will help make available to midwest industry the results of space research, and it will provide capabilities for the new degree programs of master of engineering and doctor of engineering, which hope to focus on practical problems of engineering development.
The building will be designed to encourage interaction between disciplines. Its relatively open interior will include office and laboratory space and a briefing room but no classrooms. Students will use the building as research project participants, however, and several thousand square feet have been allocated to student research assistant offices.
Iowa professor to review Gomes play
Oscar Fernandez, head of the department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Iowa, will speak on "Dias Gomes and Brazil's Developing Social Theatre" at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Experimental Theatre, Murphy Hall.
The Alfredo Dias Gomes play, "Payment As Promised," translated by Fernandez will be performed from March 27 through April 5 at 8:20 p.m. in the Experimental Theatre.
In 1960 this play won the Brazilian National Theatre Prize, the Governor of the State of Sao Paulo Prize and the prize for the best Brazilian play from the Association of Sao Paulo Theatre Critics.
"Payment As Promised" tells a story in which voodoo and Catholicism are in conflict and man's exploitation of his fellow man is underscored. The KU production is directed by Fredric M. Litto,
assistant professor of speech and drama.
Fernandez was granted an award in 1968 by the Social Science Research Council for study on "The Brazilian Theatre as Literary Genre and Social Document."
Fernandez has previously taught at the United States Naval Academy and New York University, where he was Director of Portuguese Programs and Acting Director of the Ibero-American Language and Area Center. Ibero was the romance language of the Iberian peninsula prior to the emergence of Spanish, Portuguese and Catalan as national languages.
