Corporation aids engineering work
Projects include studying ice and analyzing signals
By Sandra Moran Kansan staff writer
For many students and faculty members in the School of Engineering, research often would be impossible if not for the University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc.
CRINC is a non-profit corporation begun in 1699 to serve the University by developing and administering sponsored research in engineering and related areas.
Funds from CRINC have supported 123 projects, involving 69 faculty members and 272 students.
"It's an auxiliary corporation," said Carl E. Locke, director of CRUI. "Our charter is to facilitate the learning from the School of Engineering."
Financing for the corporation comes from both public and private sources. Locke said that CRINC's federal fellowship was suspended last semester because of overhead costs.
The 10,000 fellowship and any added department money will be replaced with money from another fund until next year. Locke said he hoped to have the CRINC fellowship reinstated then.
The Flight Research Laboratory, one of several divisions of CRINC, conducts research in aeronautics emphasizing aircraft development. The program works with NASA Dryden, a flight research facility at Edwards Air
The central idea is to learn about the ice, how it moves, how thick it is and its applications.'
Richard Moore Director of the Radar Systems
Force Base in California, to evaluate the performance of fighter aircraft.
David Downing, director of the flight research lab and chairman of KU aerospace engineering, said project researchers also were working with NASA to design a control system for the short takeoff of military aircraft.
Another division, Radar Systems and Remote Sensing, was established in 1964 to study the development and application of microwave systems. It is analyzes data from the land and the oceans.
Richard Moore, director of the Radar Systems lab, said one of the projects students were involved with was studying sea ice.
"The central idea is to learn about the ice, how it moves, how thick it is and its applications," Moore said.
Researchers will return to KU today from an expedition to Antarctica, where they studied ice and its possible uses. Moore said they took a week off to relax and hike across New Zealand before returning to Kansas.

Confessions of a Spanish Major
"No hablo computer..."
"That's why I got myself a Macintosh. I tried other personal computers, but I just didn't speak their language. Who can?
I may be bilingual,but trilingual? No thanks! Learning a bunch of computer terminology and keystrokes doesn't interest me a bit.
Macintosh speaks my language. It displays all of my options right on the screen. In plain English!"
