KU professor gets research grant
Gary L. Lage, KU assistant professor of pharmacy, received a $16,587 grant from the National Heart and Lung Institute to continue research into compounds used in heart treatment. Lage will study the metabolism and distribution of cardiac glycosides to determine how they can be made safer.
Grant given to Medic Center prof
Pedro S. Toledo, research associate in the department of otolaryngology at the University of Kansas Medical Center, has been given a $8,940 grant from the Deafness Research Foundation for the first year of a project aimed at finding cures for deafness.
Since his association with the Medical Center, Toledo has been a part of a research team which developed an improved method for the study of the inner ear.

Guard deadline approaches
Due to a recruiting ceiling, men with no prior service have until March 1 to fill approximately 200 openings existing in the 69th Brigade of the Kansas National Guard.
Staff Sgt. Gerald McConnell of the Lawrence National Guard unit said that after March 1 a recruiting ceiling will go into effect and only men with prior service will be considered for enlistment. He said that men with prior service in either the Army or Marine Corps will be eligible for enlistment after the recruiting ceiling goes into effect.
The University of Kansas is currently involved in a program financed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to conduct research in the area of citizen participation in urban problems.
KU participates in HUD urban observatory program
The program, called the Urban Observatory, began last September and pairs cities with universities in studying urban problems and citizen participation. The currently involved in a program University of Missouri at Kansas City and KU are jointly involved with Kansas City, Mo. and Kansas City, Kan, in the midwest observatory.
The Kansas City Observatory is organized into a corporation called the Not for Profit Corporation. It consists of six members including the KU representative, Clifford Clark, dean of the School of Business. Other members are the UMKC representative and city officials from Kansas City, Mo. and Kansas City, Kansas.
Baltimore, Atlanta, Nashville, Milwaukee and Albuquerque were initially chosen as participants by the National League of Cities.
Clark said the purpose of the observatory is to examine the way in which urban dwellers express opinions and influence their environment.
The research phase of the program, at KU is conducted by a group of seven students in American Studies. Forrest Berghorn, associate professor of American Studies, advises the group and is available for consultation, although the students make the final decisions.
Peace Corps week termed a success
Peace Corps week at the University of Kansas was a complete success, Mario Karr, KU Peace Corps representative, said Sunday.
The Peace Corps program had two parts, Karr said—informing the public about the Peace Corps and recruiting.
Karr said he would not know the number of volunteers from KU until next week.
The Peace Corps recruiting team will be at Kansas State University next week. This is part of the program established for Peace Corps month in Kansas Karr said.
Room equipped for heart studies
Located on the fourth floor of Sudler Hall in the medical clinic area, the room is especially designed for cardiovascular teaching of staff and postgraduate programs. Cardiovascular study involves the heart and blood vessels.
A cardiovascular room has been built and equipped at the University of Kansas Medical Center with memorial funds from the family and friends of the late David N. Sosland of Kansas City.

Seating about 40 people, the room is equipped with the following teaching aids: a combination slide and opaque projector; an analytical motion picture projector, which is used to project x-ray motion pictures of the heart; two banks of x-ray view boxes which can be operated from a central control near the speaker; ultraviolet light to illuminate fluorescent chalk on a blackboard; a closed circuit television screen and a teaching oscilloscope which enables everyone in the room to listen to and view the tracings of heart murmurs of a patient, or hear audio tapes of heart sounds.
Only Eaton makes Corrasable $ ^{ \textcircled{2}} $
Even conservative profs rebel against smear tactics on term papers. You're always better off with erasable Corrasable® Bond. An ordinary pencil eraser lets you erase without a trace on Eaton's Corrasable typewriter paper. At college bookstores and stationery stores.

Berghorn said the group has produced a conceptual design for studying citizen participation groups and an indexed bibliography of literature on citizen participation. These will be used for research by all the urban observatories when the final report is submitted next fall.
"The next step for the research group will be to go into Kansas City for actual contact with citizen groups to test the conceptual design," Berghorn said. The research group has been mainly
concerned with defining citizen participation groups according to characteristics such as age or sex, he said. "Other urban observatory groups may be using a different focus," he said.
Berghorn said he believes the observatory has been useful in getting the students involved in urban affairs research and acquainting them with city government. He said the findings of all the observatories will be made public.
Films show phenomena simulated by computer
The department of physics and astronomy, in cooperation with computer sciences at the University of Kansas, will present three films on computer simulation this week.
The films, entitled "Computer Fluid Dynamics," "Dynamics of Disc Galaxies" and "Plasma Instabilities," show computer simulations of various scientific problems.
Tom Armstrong, assistant professor of physics, said the full-color films were taken from computer graphic readouts and visually show particular scientific phenomena that could not be
simulated by any other means.
For example, Armstrong said, the film on disc galaxies shows the type of movement that takes many thousands of centuries to occur in a star system such as ours. The film condenses in five minutes what takes millions of years to occur naturally.
Armstrong said this particular film was easy for anyone to understand, whereas the other two films were more technical but still worth-while to people interested in computer sciences.
The films will be shown at 4 p.m. Tuesday in 238 Malott. There will be no admission charge.
Our story begins where other sedans end.
As we go to press, nobody has found a use for the rear deck of a conventional sedan, except of course pigeons.
Well, the Volkswagen Squareback doesn't end in a rear deck.
Instead, as you see, it ends in a square back neatly grabbing an extra 14.5 cubic feet of luggage space out of thin air.
Then, for its next trick, the Squareback gives you a 6.5-cubic-foot trunk up front where most cars have their engines. And a rear seat that folds down to add another 17.7 cubic feet of space.
With all this you can fit twice as much luggage into the Squareback as any other sedan.
And yet you don't need a big space to fit the Squareback into. It's shorter and narrower than most other sedans.
So you can park it in places that other people
didn't even know were
places,
How's that
for a happy
ending?
