Page 6 University Daily Kansan Tuesday, April 28, 1964 Study to Relate Roles Of Design, Behavior The National Institute of Mental Health has awarded a $15,000 grant for one year to the KU departments of architecture and psychology and the State Hospital in Topeka to study the effects of architectural design on human behavioral patterns. Lawrence R. Good, instructor of architecture and program director, said the grant will be used primarily for detailed planning of a five-year program. Further financial assistance by the N.I.M.H. will depend upon the merit of the proposed long-term program. THE MENNINGER Foundation in Topeka will assist in the program. They stimulated interest in the subject last month when they sponsored the first major conference dealing with the effects of architectural types and community environment on human beings. The research group has scheduled two projects upon which their future work will be based. The first is a continuation of the Kirkbride Mental Health Hospital ward project. It will involve changing the ward environment at the Topeka State Hospital and observing the resultant changes in the behavior of the patients and staff members. THE SECOND PROJECT will be the mass transfer of one entire patient treatment section from an old masonry building to a contemporary garden-type structure. Again, as in the first project, changes in the behavior of the patients and staff members will be recorded. There is at present no other research being done in this field. "The results of the program," said Good, "should have direct application in the design of mental health centers and community hospitals of the future." An exhibit of art by women students opens today in the Browsing Room of the Kansas Union. Women's Art Work On Display in Union Work done by graduate and undergraduate women is exhibited. Displays range from painting and sculpture to ceramics and jewelry. The art exhibit which will end May 5 is part of the All Women's Day activities sponsored by the Associated Women Students (AWS). Activities for All Women's Day begin today and end May 5. NSF Grants Offer Summerfield Courses A total of ten advanced students will be awarded two Summerfield work courses offered here under a $3,000 grant from the National Science Foundation. Students taking a course in field methods of systematic vertebrate paleontology will do most of their work in parts of New Mexico and Colorado. Those in a similar course on systematic vertebrate zoology will study primarily in Oaxaca, Mexico. A panel discussion on fraternity sorority discrimination at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union will represent all areas of the campus and all views of civil rights. Discrimination To Be Discussed According to Arthur Douville, Overland Park sophomore and chairman of the Human Rights Committee (HRC) of the ASC, the panel discussion will "bring together people from all interests who have been outstanding leaders in discussion and controversy over fraternity-sorority discrimination at KU." "By this interaction and discussion we hope to educate interested students as to the issues and varying degrees of views which exist here," Douville said. Students on the panel are: Bob Stewart, Bartlesville, Okla. junior and president of the student body; George Ragsdale, Lawrence senior and chairman of the Civil Rights Council; and Mike Elwell, Wichita senior and past president of Sigma Nu fraternity. Thomas Coffman, Lyndon junior and editorial editor of University Daily Kansan; Joey Emel, Colby senior and past president of Chi Omega sorority; and James Johnston, Independence, Mo., junior and president of the Interfraternity Council.
