9.   OBD-GS WILL PUBLISH COST-OF-LIVING STUDY EACH QUARTER

      The Office of Business Development and Government Services will
begin quarterly publication this fall of a cost-of-living study for
the Louisville and Lexington areas. Assisting will be the U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics.

      A feature of the study will be the cost of a food market basket
of some 40 selected items. The study will include, in addition to
food, housing apparel, upkeep, transportation and health and re-
creation.

      A recent study by the office warned that more people are in-
curring larger debts relative to personal income than at any time
since World War II, and as a consequence there will be a leveling
off of consumer expenditures, tight credit, inventory investment
slowdown, and a rise in delinquency rates.



10.  ANTHROPOLOGISTS ARE ACTIVE THIS SUMMER

      Three members of the Department of Anthropology are conducting
research this summer in Paintsville, Ky., Cambridge University in
England, and at Ft. Apache in Arizona. They are Drs. Lathel F.
Duffield, W. Y. Adams and Michael Everett.

      Dr. Duffield, department chairman, is directing three archeo-
logical surveys in Kentucky, two at Paintsville and a third in the
Red River Gorge. He is looking for items from the pre-historic
occupation of the area by Indians. Sponsored by the National Park
Service, the projects are designed to rescue archeology materials
before reservoirs are created.

      Dr. Adams, professor of anthropology, is at Cambridge research-
ing Egyptian archeology. He was director for eight years of an
archaeological salvage program in a 120-mile area in the Sudan, the
site of both Egypt's Aswan dam project and of an ancient city. He
hopes to learn more about the ancient peoples' association with
Christianity.

      Dr. Everett, assistant professor of anthropology, lived with the
White Mountain Apaches for several summers collecting data on alcohol-
ism and suicide among the Indians. Some results of his research
already have been used by officials of the U.S. Public Health Service
in developing alcoholism and suicide prevention programs.



11.   COLLEGE COMPUTER-DEVELOPED PROGRAM USED WIDELY

      More than 100 engineering firms and their representatives in
ten foreign countries and 30 states have used a computer program de-
veloped by the Department of Civil Engineering. A computer program
that will analyze pressure and flow in any pipe system is being made
available to engineers, analyzing in about two and a half minutes
what it normally would take several engineers working a week to ac-
complish, Prof. Donald Wood said. The College of Engineering, in its
recent annual report, noted that more than 3,400 professional and
technical people attended workshops and seminars last year.
