State Problems To be Aired At Luncheons
Page 5
TOPEKA (UPI) — Kansas Gov John Anderson recently announced that he was scheduling a series of luncheon meetings in the near future to deal with several of the state's problems.
Anderson said planning for the luncheon was underway and the meetings may begin before Labor Day in September.
The Governor noted that little progress has been made in planning for treatment of alcoholies since the Commission on Alcoholism was disbanded several years ago.
HE SAID ONE meeting with government officials and private citizens would be to discuss the problems of alcoholism in Kansas.
Anderson said there were an estimated 25,000 to 30,000 alcoholics in this state. "We must first face the realization that alcoholism is a real problem and then begin working to solve it," the Governor said.
THE GOVERNOR said among items to be discussed at the luncheon meeting on alcoholism would be the possibility of treating alcohols at the state mental hospitals and then providing a continuing outpatient treatment program.
Another luncheon meeting with officials and citizens will be held to discuss development of a program for expansion of the state's penal system.
The legislature has authorized funds for planning the construction of a new prison to help take the load off the dangerously overcrowded Kansas State Penitentiary.
The Governor said another conference would be with Blue Cross-Blue Shield officials to determine if all state employees can be placed in a single group for insurance purposes with an eye toward reduction in premiums.
At present the various state agencies form groups of their own. Anderson hopes that by consolidation premiums could be reduced.
Friction Not Answer
FARMINGDALE, N. Y. — (UPI)—It's not the friction of air on the nose cone of a space capsule that makes it so hot as it plunges earthward at 17,000 miles an hour—it's the compression.
Aerodynamics experts at Republic Aviation Corp. here explain it so: If you've ever pumped up a tire — or football or basketball—with a hand-operated pump you may have noticed that the bottom of the pump's cylinder gets much hotter than the rest of it. It's not the friction of the plunger that makes the heat, but the fact that the air is being compressed most tightly at the bottom, greatly speeding up the molecular action. Same thing happens when an orbiting vehicle re-enters the earth's atmosphere, jamming all that air in front of its nose.
KU Geologist Guides Study Aimed at Better Education
Prof. Hambleton is director of GEO-Study (Geological Education Orientation Study), sponsored by the American Geological Institute and supported by the National Science Foundation. Last week he presided over a conference in Boulder, Colo., that climaxed an intensive yearlong college-visiting program.
Geological education in American colleges is due for some changes, and one person responsible is William W. Hambleton, professor of geology at the University of Kansas and associate director of the Kansas Geological Survey.
FORTY OUTSTANDING scientists, including geologists and consultants in the fields of biology, physics, and mathematics, took part in the Boulder conference. Kansas also was represented by James Peoples of the KU Geology department and Mrs. Marian Warriner, research assistant for GEO-Study.
"We considered three major aspects of geological education," Hambleton said. "These were the introductory course for college freshmen, the curriculum for geology majors, and the possibilities and opportunities for faculty improvement.

"The Boulder conference was very successful." he added, "and we can now look for some major changes in the undergraduate geology curriculum. Through GEO-Study, the University of Kansas has become a center for change in geological education."
Prof. Hambleton explained that reports of a visiting program provided a basis for the discussion at the Boulder conference.
