University Press serves 3 schools
Since its inception in 1967 the fledgling University Press of Kansas has been guided by director John Dessauer.
"The University Press," Dessauer explained, "is an extension of the University proper."
The University Press of Kansas, which absorbed the old Kansas University Press founded in 1946, is the first university press to operate on a statewide level sponsored by the University of Kansas, Kansas State University and Wichita State University.
The press is administered by a board of trustees which include the academic vice presidents of the three universities. It has offices in London which distribute its books throughout Europe, Dessauer said.
The twofold purpose of the University Press of Kansas is to publish regional material of Kansas and the Midwest and scholarly material. However, the University Press of Kansas does not exist solely for the purpose of publishing doctoral theses, Dessauer explained.
Dessauer cited the Kansas Quarterly as a scholarly
publication which aims at "cultural enrichment."
Dessauer expressed concern over the increasing censorship placed upon university presses.
"The targets of censorship are primarily aimed at books having political content. One such book was John Hersey's 'Hiroshima,' which was released in paperback by many universities." Dessauer said political censorship is carried out by patriotic groups.
"Groups trying to protect the public morals object to books put out by college presses which attempt to portray any type of intimate human experience," Dessauer added.
Dessauer expressed concern over the lack of young talent coming into the publishing business.
"There are not enough trained or skilled personnel and there are only two universities—Columbia and New York Universities—which have a curriculum on book publishing. This type of curriculum is needed in order to produce people for the field because of the extreme difficulty involved in on the job training," Dessauer said.
Armco Steel selects KU underseas projects

"We were one of the four schools chosen to attend the conference in Houston," Downer Dykes, professor of design said.
The class decided to research

underwater food supply and underwater oil mining and minerals, Dykes said.
"The critique team was so impressed with the four schools' exhibits, they decided to take some of the exhibits, and the four representatives to Brighton, England, for the International Oceanography Conference," Dykes said.
Twelve industrial design students are enrolled in the class led by Dykes and Peter North, assistant professor of design. This is the fourth year for the Armco program and the second year KU has attended.
