KU Space Program lacks financing
by Candy Niemann
Kansan staff writer
Although today's launch of the Atlantis space shuttle has given some KU engineering students a laack, a lack of equipment for their shuttle experiments grounded.
But the financial woes are not over. The program needs at least $5,000 for operational expenses and might need $5,000 more for equipment.
The KU Space Program, a group of 35 engineering students, received its first corporate donation last month, which helped ease concerns that a lack of financing might abort the program's five experiments.
"We still have a funding problem," said Saeed Farokhi, professor of aerospace engineering and space program adviser. "It is frustrating, but we have been to overcome it. I am much more calm and quiet."
KU's experiments include a crystal growth experiment, a cell membrane experiment, a space seeds experiment, a vapor deposition experiment and a composite manufacturing experiment.
"It is like pulling teeth trying to get people to donate money to something as basic and honorable as this," she said. "They're worried that always be worried about funds."
A $1,000 donation came from Micro Craft of California, Inc. in Ontario, Calif.
Carl Locke, dean of engineering,
said that he would match the gift with
an additional $1.000.
That leaves the program $3,000 short of operational expenses, with a possible additional $5,000 needed for equipment.
Larry Bellmard, space program vice president and Overland Park
senior, said the group might apply for financing from the National Science Foundation.
Randy Nelson, general manager of Micro Craft, said his ties with Kansas helped him make the decision.
"More importantly, this is good for the industry," Nelson said. "What really helps students is hands-on and this program does just that."
The program is done in association with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and its Get Away Special program, which allows individuals, universities and private experiments aboard the space shuttle.
Only two other universities, the California Institute of Technology and the University of Utah, have actually launched satellite experiments.

Campus Briefs
Art history books will be given to undergraduates who do well in art history classes.
ART HISTORY AWARDS GIVEN:
Twenty-two awards will be given to
outstanding undergraduates for
achievement in art history at 3: 30
p.m. Friday in room 211 at the
Spencer Museum of Art.
The awards have been given since 1977, when Floyd and Barbara Amsden, Wichita business owners, added to recognize the students with awards.
Grant Hayden, El Dorado senior, will receive the Jeanne Stump book award, which is given to the most outstanding undergraduate. The award was founded in honor of Prohibition Jeanne Stump, who retired last year.
The faculty decides upon the winners, and the students are recommended by instructors.
The awards ceremony will be followed by a short talk by Henry Adams of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Mo. Adams is the curator of the Nelson's Thomas Hart Benson show and will comment on it. Punch and cookies also will be served.
JOURNALISM AWARDS PLANNED:
a scholarship in memory of Sue Parelli will be one of the highlights of this year's journalism school awards ceremony, said Mary Wallace, assistant professor of journalism.
Parcell was graduated from the University of Kansas in 1978 with a degree in broadcasting. She worked as a reporter for WDAP-FTV in Kan-ko before, to before taking an anchor position with WTOL-TV in Toledo, Ohio.
The awards ceremony will be at 3:30 p.m. Friday in the Big Eight room at the Kansas Union.
She died June 8, 1988, of a brain aneurysm.
"Max Utlaz will show a video on her career," Wallace said. "He will also introduce the members of her family and former co-workers in attendance." Utlaz is chairman of the sequence in the School of Journalism.
She said one of the things that was special about the scholarship fund set up in Parell's name was that about 250 of the contributions came from television viewers in Kansas City and Toledo.
Wallace said in addition to the
Parcell scholarship, 48 other funds would award scholarship money to about 78 students.
She said in addition to scholarships, awards would be given in 20 categories, including several newspaper awards, academic awards, one for public relations, several for broadcasting and four for magazine.
"The magazine awards are being given for the first time this year," Wallace said.
CLASSICS PRIZES AWARDED: The classics department will award four prizes financed by endowments to students majoring in the field, a department spokesman said yesterday.
Betty Banks, associate professor of classics, said four prizes would be awarded to both graduate and undergraduate students at 3:30 p.m. in the Wilcox Classical Museum at Lippincott Hall.
"There will be prizes awarded for translating passages in Latin and Greek. There will also be one award given to the best student in classics to be chosen by the
Rickey Bannister
She said a special one-time gift awarded for excellence in Latin also would be presented.
faculty." Banks said.
Oliver Phillips, professor of classics, has served as the master of ceremonies for the event in the past and will do so tomorrow.
"Thanks to a gift, this is to be awarded for excellence in Latin and is chosen by the faculty," she said.
"We have traditionally held this event in the Union, but we are pleased to be able, for the first time, to open a museum, Wilcox museum." Philips said.
The museum reopened in Lippincott Hall last fall after being closed in Fraser Hall in 1965.

Banks agreed it was important to praise the efforts of the department's graduate and undergraduate students.
Phillips said the department was looking forward to the new setting for the reception as well as honoring its students.
"We want to recognize their achievements in their chosen field of study and giving prizes is a way of recognizing excellence," she said.
