Madison Continued from page 1 conceptual spaces so that they ‘ lb« could be manipulated by local ar chitects. Most of the students' models were designed so families could interact with each other and lean on each other for moral support instead of remaining isolated in their rooms. "The main idea behind the house is to get people out of the separate rooms into a large com munal area," Deeny said. "We tried to have all of these activities near the center of the house and the sleeping areas on the perime ter." Ronald Skaggs, chairman and chief executive officer of the Dal las architecture company HKS Inc., said all the students' pro jects seemed to identify the im portance of having private space as well as group space. "The beginning of architecture is understanding the needs of a particular client and turning those needs into concepts," Skaggs said. "The process being used here is a good hands-on way for them to learn how to do that. 6 OD Cl?EA TED K/6RVS TO <££ P BACH OTHER. COMPANT "The best type of educational project in design architecture is a 'real' project, rather than some philisophical project that really doesn't have any reality to it," he said. Guerra said the reality of the project gave students bounda ries on extravagance. He said students had to keep a fairly low cost in mind when working on the project because the houses are built solely on do nated funds. Loran Liu, a senior environ mental design major from Dal las, said he enjoyed working on the project because it involved working with a real life situation toward a worthy cause. "I enjoyed being able to make connections with certain people and being able to work on a busi ness level because this project deals with personal situations," Liu said. In addition to relying on each student's input, the classes worked with a seventh-grade class which submitted its opin ions and ideas. Liu and Lori Sedlar, a senior environmental design major from New Braunsfels, put a hot tub in their model house because of a suggestion by several of the seventh-graders. 'In the right place at the right time' Private launch site poised to monopolize polar research market POKER FLAT, Alaska (AP) — This rocket-launching site on the jermafrost doesn't have the permafrost doesn t nave the fancy equipment or big payloads of the Kennedy Space Center or the USSR's cosmodrome at Tyu- ratam. But given its proximity to the North Pole, high success rate for suborbital, scientific launches and unique lack of military red tape, the university-owned Poker Flat might be months away from a contract in the com mercial satellite market. "It's as though the universe has contrived to put us in the right place at the right time," said Glenn Olds, commissioner of the state Department of Com merce and Economic Devel opment. "We should be closing a deal on the funding and so on in the next few months," Olds said. "We brought one of the big fi nancial people and several oth ers from a commercial satellite company up here. ... Their minds were boggled. "I would expect we'd launch in '93." Poker Flat gets its name from a nearby creek and a Bret Harte short story about a group of out casts abandoned in a blizzard. Its remoteness in Alaska's in terior, about 35 miles northeast of Fairbanks, has left it largely unknown outside the srieni and space communities. But 11 companies have made inquiries in recent months aboil commercial satellite launches into polar orbits. Construction began on rocket range in 1968 because sc-1 entists at the University of Alasl ka's Geophysical Institiibl wanted to fire small rocketswiftl instruments to study the auron borealis, or northern lights, all altitude of 70 to 150 miles.

"A rocket is the only way to get inside the aurora," said Neal Brown, a scientist with the insti tute who ran the range for moit than a decade. "Planes do that high, and satellites to com down that far would fall out orbit." The Geophysical Institute use unguided one- or two-stag' boosters that carry scientific paj loads just high enough to read the aurora's field of hif’ charged particles, then to the generally tundra north of the LOUPOT’S PAYS CASH FOR USED BOOKS!
