Burmeister and Glick visited the Petroleum Research Center to learn about the Bureau's air pollution research program and to discuss possibilities of cooperative research for KU engineering graduate students. Fleming received the BSME degree at KU in 1960.
KU International Festival to present exhibit, program
The KU International Festival staged by students from 18 different countries will be held Saturday in the Kansas Union.
The festival is sponsored by the International Club.
Exhibit tables from 11 nations or groups of nations will be set up in the Big Eight and Jayhawk Rooms. Exhibitors include Latin America, the Arab nations, Guyana and Trinidad, India, China, Japan, Iran, Germany, Korea, France and the Nordic nations.
Doors to the exhibition area will open at 6 p.m. The exhibits will be closed during the entertainment program from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. and re-opened after the program.
Masoud Moayer, Rosht, Iran,
senior, will be master of ceremonies for the variety program of dances, demonstrations and skits.
Subcommittee created on environment studies
Robert T. Aangeenbrug, KU associate professor of geography and chairman of the University Committee on Environmental Studies announced Tuesday the creation of a subcommittee on the undergraduate environmental studies program.
Students from Israel, Venezuela, the Arab nations and Nationalist China will present skits with a nationalist flavor.
The new subcommittee intends to introduce a coordinated proposal of coursework that could receive approval as leading to an undergraduate degree in environmental studies.
Traveling trophies will be awarded for the prize exhibit and program after the final number.

Biophysics needs space
Sign up at SUA Office by Monday, March 16
B & G seeks relocation
By LINDA WRIGHT Kansan Staff Writer
The departments of buildings and grounds (B & G) and radiation biophysics presented their need for new space and facilities to a subcommittee of the University Planning Board Tuesday night in the Council Room of the Kansas Union.
Harry Buchholz, director of the physical plant, and Edward Shaw, professor of radiation biophysics, made the presentations.
Buchholz requested that buildings and grounds be relocated in the development of west campus.
This relocation was necessary, he said, in view of the antiquated and crowded facilities now used by B and G.
Buchholz said the shortage in storage space was reaching a danger point. Over crowding of space is creating a fire hazard and maintenance problem, he said. The shops are becoming so crowded that it is dangerous for the workmen.
In some instances, B and G is using equipment that is 40 to 50 years old, Buchholz said. He added that for some machines, parts are no longer available and B and G workmen had to make the needed parts themselves.
At present, Buchholz said, B and G is having to rent 12,000
square feet of storage space but they will lose approximately two-thirds of that rental space in the near future.
Office space is also over crowded and even walking space is at a premium. Buchholz said.
Buchholz added that the restroom facilities were inadequate and next year construction on the new humanities building will necessitate elimination of the greenhouse.
Buchholz pointed out that the move to west campus would have several advantages. It would release valuable space on the Hill for student facilities. He pointed out that B and G does not require a central location.
He also suggested a central University storage and receiving center. Today, Buchholz said, materials are received all over campus and often there is no one to check for such things as damaged freight or incorrect shipment of orders.
On behalf of the radiation biophysics department, Shaw presented a three fold need for a third floor to be added to the nuclear reactor building.
Shaw said added space is needed for research and teaching activities, health physics and radiation services.
The added space would enable
health physics to conduct routine procedure, analyze materials and store radioactive waste and prepare it for shipping to burial facilities.
