University Professor of Re
search Dr. Vernon Hurst is
working on a way to alleviate
waste of valuable phosphate
material. Phosphate is used in
the production of chemicals
and fertilizer.
Of 100 million tons of
phosphate material produced
annually, only 30 million tons
are used, while about 35
million tons are the waste
product from the phosphate
ore. otherwise known as
phosphate “slimes.” according
to Hurst. The result is reason
for environmental and eco
nomical concern.

The phosphate waste is
either stored or returned to the
mines, but cannot be used
again because it becomes
saturated with water. Hurst is
trying to find an economical,
yet efficient way to separate
the water from the substance,
in order to extract valuable
phosphate material from the
slimes.
However, even dehydration
and vacuum processes do not
accomplish this. This causes a
unique problem due to the
unusual properties of water not
normally seen in other interac
tions. according to Hurst.
Hurst’s efforts are a delve
into a field of colloidal science.
He claims that colloidal
science, or the study of fine
particles and their character
istics, is “a basis of modem
technology in its infancy."
The particles of phosphate
are extremely small, which
makes Hurst’s task rather
difficult, yet he says it is of
"great scientific interest.”
When asked about his share of
the potential profits resulting
from his work, Hurst said,
“You have to have labs and
equipment, so your discoveries
aren’t your own economical-

The next time someone tells
you to go fly a kite you have no
excuse not to follow the advice
Located on Jackson just behind
Davison's is a relatively new
shop, Kites and Things, fea
turing a variety of kites as well
as other items.
Kites and Things was opened
by Bob Mulford, a former
assistant manager at Davi
son’s who decided that Athens
was just the type place to set
up the shop. Mulford came up
with his idea for a kite shop
from similar places, including
the kite store located in the
Omni International in Atlanta.
He decided he would not try
to aim at any select group of
people, but instead wanted to
open the kind of store that
would appeal to everyone.
The shop stocks kites of all
types, including 25 ft. and 45
ft long kites which are dis
played across the ceilings of
the shop Mulford claims that
not only do the 45 ft. "dragon"
kites, as they are called, make
good flying kites, but they are
also inexpensive decorations
"These kinds of kites make
marvelous conversation pie
ces," he said. They would be
ideal in a fraternity or sorority
house with a high ceiling in the
entrance hall, he added.
Another popular line of kites
carried in the store are the
"fighter kites." According to
Mulford, the fighter kites are
used in India when some of the
kites have glass attached to
them in order to rip up or
“fight" the other kites. Mul
ford explained tht these kites
are a little more difficult to
maneuver but are an interest
ing challenge.
For the beginning kite flyer,
Mulford suggested any of the
other types of kites in stock,
such as the bird kite or the
octopus kite. Mulford also
carries another unique kite
called a wind sock which he
explained does not fly well
unless the winds are extremely
high But he said they make
interesting decorations
All of the kites carried in the
shop are made of standard
tissue paper or mylar, a
durable form of plastic which
he says is tear proof and
doesn't fade
Mulford also has spools of
500 ft. or 100 ft. kite cord.
Perhaps the most intriguing
part of Kites and Things is the
prices. All of the kites range
from $4 to $15. Mulford even
suggested flying would make
an ideal and relatively inex
pensive idea for a date.
"I could get into more
expensive kites, .but I don’t
think they would get anywhere
or have the same kind of
appeal,” Mulford said.
Not only does Kites and
Things carry kites, but they
also carry handmade clothing,
handmade purses, stationery,
macrame jewelry, handmade
furniture, backgammon sets,
chess sets, a professional line
of darts and skateboards and
t-shirts.
Mulford said tht he felt kites
were beginning to catch on in
the Athens area, judging from
the number seen flying at the
intramural field on weekends
