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. 44 Kaepa Say “Kay-pa” Legends Post Oak Mall College Station, TX 77840 (409) 764-0651 Brown’s Shoe Fit 1402 Texas Ave. S.

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.
