    THE STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF MISSOURI RESEARCH CENTER-KANSAS CITY K0061 49-63 Neighborhood Coalition Records 1971-2001 19 cubic feet Organizational records of a neighborhood association in midtown Kansas City, MO. HISTORY: The 49-63 Neighborhood Coalition held its first formal organizational meeting on February 3, 1971, after several informal meetings held during the fall of 1970 by area residents to discuss the best and most appropriate means of encouraging the active participation of all residents in maintaining the multiracial population of the neighborhood. The boundaries of the Coalition were set as 49th Street on the north, 63rd Street on the south, The Paseo on the east, and Oak Street on the west. This allowed the area to encompass the University of Missouri-Kansas City and Rockhurst College, as well as both public and private elementary schools. It was decided to keep the organization as flexible and unstructured as possible, utilizing volunteers and having no paid director. Membership was open to all residents, whether they owned or rented, and to all owners and/or managers of businesses within the area. 49-63 was one of the first neighborhood associations to be organized by area residents. It grew rapidly to encompass many elements of neighborhood life, including liaison work with the police, a “Lights On” campaign to increase neighborhood safety, the notification of infractions of housing codes, and the establishment of a housing referral office.

  • Design & Race Competition of a Solar Powered Vehicle
    “-”1 Session 1532 .— . ‘DESIGN & RACE COMPETITION OF A SOLAR POWERED VEHICLE Dr. Edward M. Lenoe, Dr. Eddie Fowler United States Military Academy/ Kansas State University ABSTRACT This paper describes the performance of the USMA “Onondaga”, a solar powered vehicle which completed the recent SUNRAYCE ’95 event wherein 38 cars raced 1300 miles from Indianapolis, IN to Golden, CO. In particular, a rather simple and rugged solar array configuration, using only three diodes, was employed. Total cost of our vehicle was $33,000, including spare parts. Furthermore the entire vehicle was constructed in-house, thereby qualifying us as the lowest cost entrant, designed, built and fielded by the smallest team! We also fielded the heaviest drivers. The authors goals were to qualify, to finish the race and to determine our vehicle capabilities, and in general to learn about solar powered vehicIes. In all these, much to our gratification, we succeeded, finishing 26th overall in a field of 38, and on the last day of the race, finishing 5th! Our most satisfying event was day four, when the Onongada truly rode with the sun, covering 122.5 miles with minimal battery pack consumption. The project was initiated in August 1994, with the first semester devoted to design and the second to fabrication. During this project we had to conceive, design, procure, fabricate, test and evaluate and finally compete! Most competitors devoted two years to the project. The Onondaga was built from mid March to mid April, then subjected to 380 miles of road tests in the rolling hills of the Hudson Highlands.

Adjunct Professor of Mechanical Engineering, California State University, Long Beach. Preface. This book describes the 1993 World Solar Challenge and the technology that went into the cars that took part. However, the book is more than just a dry list of the technical features of each car. In the past six years, solar car racing has developed into an identifiable sub-discipline of engineering - one which extends across the boundaries of many existing fields. We have therefore brought together into a single work a review of each of these areas. In addition, we have tried to present enough of the background physics to enable readers to make their own assessment about the various new ideas which appeared in the 1993 cars.
