What independent
suspension does for
your BMW Kaepa
does for your foot.
• The independent back half,
the upper vamp, supports the
arch, instep and heel.
Full collar and collar lin
ing deliver cushioning
and support of entire
rear foot area.
— Molded insole with energy absorbing
insets improves overall fit. Removable
arch cookie gives superior support
for high and low arches.
Glove leather upper is —,
backed with foam and
lined with terry cloth
for comfort.
New Kaepa pillar sole
adds to comfort and play
ing traction. The traction
pads increase durability
and cushioning at heel
and ball areas.
Interchangeable Snap-In
Logos™ are available in
a variety of colors.
Midsole is EVA with lightweight, high energy
■ polyurethane foam slugs that supply excellent -
shock absorption for the life of the shoe.
The K-100 Sonterra™ for men.
The K-110 Finesse™ for women.
If you look at the photo closely, you’ll
see that the Kaepa shoe’s upper is actu
ally two independently moving parts.
Each part is secured to your foot by a sep
arate lace.
This solves the problem of conventional
athletic shoes, which may fit perfectly when
you’re standing still, but distort when your
foot flexes, pinching down at the top of
your foot and bulging out at the heel.
When you move your foot, Kaepa’s two
parts move like a body joint, smoothly mim
icking your foot’s flexing action.
The result is quicker, easier, more precise
footwork. And comfort that doesn’t stop
when you start moving.
Kaepa makes shoes for tennis, aerobics,
fitness, and basketball.
So whatever your sport is, there’s a Kaepa
that’ll give you a $30,000 ride.

Official says A&M leading
way in plastics research
By Teresa Roberson
Reporter
Texas A&M is leading the way
with a multidisciplinary research
and educational program for plastics
engineers and scientists, an A&M
administrator says.
Dr. George Haildin, A&M direc
tor of polymer materials and man
ufacturing program, says it also gen
erates technological and scientific
advances in the polymer field.
“Polymer is a material consisting
of large, long molecules of an or
ganic basis,” Haildin says.
Haildin says the research of A&M
mechanical engineering professor
Walter L. Bradley, who studies the
fractural behavior of polymer —
which is the resistance of the break
ing of polycarbonate — has been a
blessing to the program.
In addition to Bradley, Haildin
says, the program has 15 other fac
ulty members from five academic
disciplines — chemistry, mechanical
engineering, chemical engineering,
civil engineering and engineering
technology. Each of the faculty
members is experienced in a range
of polymer-related fields, including
polymer chemistry and polymeriza
tion, polymer materials science,
polymer processing, structure prop
erty-processing relationships and
aided manufacturing.
Organized under the Texas Engi
neering Experiment Station,^
program represents probably j
largest such ef fort in the world
says.
The researchers are working*]
the Western Container Permiaii|j
search Corporation on thereepf
of polyethylene terephthlate-
substance Coke bottles are r
from, he says.
Haildin says most of their**®
done in the new 3,500 square
polymer materials and manufatff
mg research laboratory,
opened this semester. Two-third I
the work is devoted to the pro* I
The lab houses the programs/ 3 1
lytical equipment and the Gri ;:
CAD-CAM system that has siu
tion software, an injection mold]
press and an AEC robot.
This is a good program for All
he says, mainly because in 1985f*j
tic accounted for about $13.7W-j
in Texas. Most of the plastics/
produced in the Houston area/
Haildin says that plastics is on(
the biggest industries in thestate
“Texas is the No. 1 state as fa 1 !
plastics goes,” Haildin says. ‘" (
trying to fill the void of this pn g
not existing in any universities
The program is looking fo , §
least 50 graduate students intere>
in polymer research.
