Completion nears for Dole Center
By Liz Hueben Kansan staff writer
Heading into winter, the Robert J. Dole Human Development Center is about 75 percent complete with little exterior work to finish, said Doug Riat, assistant director of facilities planning.
The only major exterior construction that will be left to do in the spring is to build a connecting link between the southeast corner of Haworth Hall and the southwest corner of the Dole Center, he said.
The connecting corridor will be similar to the one connecting Haworth and Malott Hall, except that the corridor will be ground level, Riat said.
The $9,811,700 Dole project was begun in August 1988, and was contracted by Dahlstrom and Ferrell Construction Co. Inc. of Oakland and said the contract completion date for the center was April 12, 1980.
The center will contain the departments of human development and family life, special education and speech-language-hearing; Institute for Life (Civil Child Research); Gerontology Center; and the journalism sequence of radio and television.
Riat said facilities planning officials hoped to have a schedule
around the first of the year for when the departments would be able to occupy the center.
The center will provide a medium to consolidate some departments that currently are spread out around campus.
"The building will be a major benefit for our department in pulling all the teaching assistants and faculty together under one roof," said Ed Morris, acting chairman for human development and family life. "It will increase the intellectual atmosphere and overall morale of the department."
John Katich, assistant professor of radio and television, said his department also was spread out around campus.
He said the new center would be important in terms of recruiting.
Katich said that the broadcasting department at the University of Kansas had some heavy competition and that when students interested in broadcasting came to look at KU's facilities, they were looking at World War II air force barracks with heating problems and holes in the floor.
"The new classrooms will be very modern and I'll actually have an office with a door," he said.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Blustery winds in the California desert yesterday forced NASA to delay space shuttle Discovery's return to Earth until today, following a secret mission that put a spy satellite into orbit.
Strong winds delay Discovery landing
The Associated Press
Mission Control in Houston requested that the five astronauts begin an hourlong descent to a nighttime landing at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., in the Mojave Desert, about three hours before they were to fire rockets to drop the craft out of orbit.
"Discovery has been waved off from its scheduled landing this evening due to unacceptably strong winds," said a statement from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
The statement said that conditions were forecast to be favorable tonight and landing was rescheduled.
Winds gusting to nearly 30 mph sent small duststorms whipping across the Edwards runways. Mission rules dictate that a shuttle not land at night if crosswinds are more than 12 mph.
ulled for 6:32 p.m. CST, making it a daytime rather than a night landing, as had been planned for yesterday.
“Another problem is that we have no upper-level wind data because the winds keep breaking our weather balloons,” said NASA spokeswoman Linda Copley.
Discovery carries enough fuel and other supplies to remain in orbit at least through Tuesday. If conditions remained bad at Edwards, the shuttle can also be either White Sails, N.M., or at Cape Anversal.
Edwards landings are preferred because of the long, wide-open runways.
Because the mission is classified, no information
is being reported by NASA, so the reaction of the astronauts to the delay was not publicized. The statement did say the crew "continued to be in excellent condition."
This was the sixth time in 32 shuttle flights that a landing has been waved off by bad weather.
Discovery was slated to be only the third shuttle to land at night. Its launch Wednesday was the third after dark.
Most news about the flight was blacked out on Pentagon orders since Discovery blazed away from Cape Canaval, Fla. NASA was allowed to go with the mission, but no other news was done fine and to announce the landing time.
The after-dark liftoff and touchdown were dictated by the need to put the shuttle's satellite in a specific orbit and by the military experiments conducted by the astronauts.
Polls indicate British voters want Thatcher out
LONDON — New opinion polls published yesterday showed Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her party in deep trouble with the voters.
The Associated Press
A Harris poll in The Observer indicated two-thirds of voters felt Thatcher should quit before the next general election, due by mid-1992.
A survey by Market Opinion and Research International (MORI) in the Sunday Labs reported the opposition Lab Party could win 51 percent of votes, the highest figure since That, it came to power 10
The Conservatives would get 37 percent support and minor parties shared the remaining 12 percent.
The figures mean that if an election took place now, the Conservative majority of 100 seats in the 650-seat House of Commons be completely reversed in a Labor landslide.
years ago.
MORI also reported 23 percent of all Conservatives would like their leader to step down.
Michael Heseltine, a former defense minister, was identified by 30 percent of all voters in the MORI survey as the Conservative leader they would prefer to take them into
the next election, while Thatcher had the support of 22 percent, a reversal of their ratings two months ago.
Both polls took place over two days last week among a national sample of nearly 1,100 voters who were interviewed.
The 64-year-old prime minister returned home on Saturday after talks on Friday with President Bush at Camp David outside Washington and a generally warm reception from U.S. citizens in contrast to feelings about her back home.
Thatcher has won three general elections and is the longest-serving British prime minister in this cen-
turment. As criticism of her leadership mounted within her party, she said last week she was prepared to lead it into a fourth and even a fifth election.
This week sees the first ballot for the Conservative leadership since Thatcher became leader in 1975.
Sir Anthony Meyer, a constant critic of Cabinet policies and the only Tory lawmaker to oppose Britain going to war with Argentina over the Falkland Islands in 1982, said he would stand against her to test feeling about the leadership among his fellow legislators.
They are the only party members entitled to vote on the issue.
