Crimson & Gold Connection; 5-4 Through 6-22

welcome to transcendental connection keep you connected to the people and current events and pittsburg state university with your host a key bridge and college sometimes students are faced with terry after eerie after erie in their chosen field that's quite a welcome experience on a hands on real world application becomes possible and it's possible in the pst manufacturing production could farm management courses teaching manufacturing from a full enterprise from design to production ras resume engineering technology professor at the kansas technology center leads the chorus and joining us today to discuss the chorus the measures enterprise is russ rose may take agreement and kristen iversen tell me a little bit about the manufacturing production and the culmination of course the courses a one semester class that is designed to give the student true experience as you said we will go through a design phase of the velvets day's production stage and onto financing and marketing the entire product and so they actually go through that an entire semester and we close the company at the end of a semester so there's a lot of activities going on a lot of hard work twelve students in the program i

said i understand that you have enterprise underway currently we decide to make a product and reaches the state ranchers were prototype then we chose for different designs that we want to sell and we made the patterns formed hadn't cast and they haven't been in a box today they're ready to go out the door and it winds akin lehman right what is your title at the company that was formed by sean coffey president that will have specific job to have to do regardless of what job you have or what the verbose record with the production and do although your physical labor on a commission the product and the product as you said are the state parameters what is a cult and amateurs was guerrilla brands of a play on the word grill to enter la or no real with a marketing manager and he actually designed a local forest whitaker in her on campus it's pretty neat i understand it started with the development of fright how that car my name's chris anderson we have to come up with ideas and then will vote on weed site mc brands know i had to go

through a machine out the patterns big piece of aluminum we sent them all had just cast iron brownback resort for equipment school was the laws which is nice to show the kids and shown a very how it worked in that house set things up in our production actually wrong we actually can do all this stuff we had the cast is made outside because of the quantity that we needed him eight hundred limited sense and so we're making four hundred maybe four hundred castings and so we need to send out to get that because for a short time right right up to the automation is slowly that does that and castles force automatically and so they had that done with a matter of a day here to answer that we bought us a lot of time to do aliyah steps involved another four grams included in that ninety one says he at once has never won one of this a gorilla and i thought and they are very very nice and they made of cast iron says the same product that you did you have a cat are still at home the same type of care you would have to take with those minutes to that test and

dishwasher in contrast it was something that karen maine it's podcast on which you will protest until and sees nose and they're dead directions that they the group is written up about how to care and maintain those and then normally when you brand the either the chicken of those states where we don't recommend that you would brand that what the state precooked beauty of the plan for the brand and the meat and then you cook it afterward and he's a nice appearance and it was pretty religious figures adjusted so the ritual joining us today and crimson and gold connection is russ rose made jacob lehman and chris anderson talking about the guerilla brands state ranchers i noticed that each of the brands are separate and we have one handle for the ransom had you guys create that add that on campus do everything except for the cast and this was an amazon alone in another assembly of the handles we actually purchase loans is abroad for him a local company and we cut into length and we have threats on the end of the rodham prepare the other end of the road for a test or a wooden handle richard but the wooden handles from another local current mood and

stand him more have to do is attach those tomorrows that we met in house recently ventured to literally wasn't difficult for everyone to get together and work on this project i mean i know that there are what tommy stinson class tan but the classmates on tuesday evening's started a vault for thirty and go till seven sometimes i wait till thrilling thing is early then again at about at the trend that we're getting a degree it always the meat like that bam five that's about a job it's really quite well packaged in everything the phone that that sits empty was also caught here sweet that raw material and then you have a lot of automated equipment and a cnc computerized equipment and to get around in and do the job were getting all the applications for if they cut all that they're all inside iraq let on campus and the group or the other great package with directions and anything is possible you by liberals the shelf i understand he made a hundred of these stats and that and a number of years i saw that on the side of the box was a sixty and one hundred right race or getting dance just it would be the biggest lesson that you learned from this project

from the class so far i learned about product moves through a company from start to finish from the development phase to the production end to the marketing and so it was it was it was an interesting experience cause i'm never really been in that type of situation before it had to go from development to prototype into actual production and marketing everybody in the company heads different attributes about them that made them more more apt to hear more simple more artful more colorful that i'm drawn to things like that and where i can draw all in your house of those neat palomino the logo that corey came out with a box of those was quite interesting as anything surprising for and in the process one of them is as interesting is how much we have to rely on outside sources to get things were working and lily issues up and where thirty left but there's some things that the financial or weeding out products come in from another company that have you know you can see all that really pulls a production line this

out as a lesson real world things that happens in and what we call in and asking what's going on and when we get this problem so you know our lessons that you saw at the quote biggest lesson we learned is teamwork because we obviously had a deadline because of the end of the semester and there's no way we're to have the students will protect herself and so we really had to rely on each other and rely on some of those other companies to get things done what chris every out a couple nights were spent a lot of hours out there and that was in this war to people that was you know a pretty good number of assault their work in the other and yet a lot of stuff done and in a lot of time but that is a pretty good lesson on several different things so the senate passed projects of the classes and their protests when your main golf putters rule plotters we made doug religious tools clocks and the same as i look past and all the products we made this was pride the best all round package product when you listen to the box in the logo in the numbering in and actually presenting as a prod that you would actually find anathema

shelf somewhere the other was we actually made the products deliver them but we never went to the extent of this group did was actually packaged in korean directions and most of the things thank you so much again for joining us today it has been a pleasure and good luck with this and continental connection is the us rose made professor for engineering technology second lehman and chris anderson and dicky pritchett and that says that crimson and gold connection join us in the crimson and gold connection wednesday at age fifty and friday at three fifty welcome the crimson and gold connection keep you connected to the people and current events and pittsburg state university with your host a key bridge not only is it difficult for international students to come to a new country immerse themselves into its culture and work toward retaining good grades in the meanwhile they must also live and that means having silverware and dishes and pots and pans and cleaning supplies and hangars and other miscellaneous household items

away from another world is hard enough the miscellaneous items are often afterthoughts until they get settled in before selling these miscellaneous items or just afterthought to someone that cashman international program coordinator is working toward establishing a stockpile of sorts of these items for international students and joining us today to discuss this is jeff hoffman thanks for joining us here now am i right in assuming that these are somewhat afterthoughts to someone coming from another country as an international student the things that they really accessible and really take with now that's right and often students get here in the middle of the night they say at motels they have a few days getting settle and there's a a week or more even more there's an adjustment they need to find a way to get a wal mart and so i had the idea starting to collect used household items that are still in good shape to allow students to borrow and use and then return when they're finished here just to help them out financially and also just a welcome sound before they go to wal mart say you know come by some of the sayings save a

few bucks and welcome to pittsburgh so they go back into the collection so to speak after the cincinnati is a manifesto unusable condition that's right and i'm hoping that over time to stockpile get larger and maybe if they're students who have an emergency we can expand at this point i'm just beginning so it's the new incoming international students but in the future who knows that is the collection process work what really contributed to the haqqani mentioned used items economy new identity certainly be new items that would be greatly appreciated used items are flying off and people have garage sales seven broad so give us a call it the international office you're welcome to drop those items off at the office or you can give me a call i've gone to people's homes and pick up things and my man i've walked across campus people dropped things off basically anything the types of items that i'm looking for are those

household items everyone needs plates serving utensils silverware but we've given out microwaves durham refrigerator we have a bed frame upstairs we have towels we have sheets cups we have a boom box and even fund baby toys which i've given out for it that's right the things that the students will need when they get here and we actually started giving items away last semester during the orientation for new international students i think they really appreciated that got kind of excited that was kind of fun to be told them help yourself and then if that fancy is going to go through and we can see is that it didn't confuse the bigger iphones we have a drawing i think we have three microwaves the door refrigerator but i've already received another microwave the semester and as time goes on i'm hoping that number grows and we

can help more and more students with you know some of those things can be kind of expensive offshore and not just some of those things but the whole having to purchase all of those things are ones that's right frasier it as an ally it does and you know some of our students when they come here or money really has a problem and when they get here there's a lot of expenses they didn't realize they were going to help and so this is just one small way of helping them out and also just saying welcome to pse you we're glad you're here we know we want to serve you and help you there's a lot less than continental connection about collecting household items from international students as jake houseman a national program court later anime mentioned that there's the wide variety of items that are there any specific ions that you're most in need of i think that's things we need the most are the basic action oriented items that students need to by hangars are dead think about things like that big enough to buy ten years we've had students arrive in the

middle of the night and they don't have batting they'll have sheets so we do have some betting hand this way when we pick up students at the airport if they don't have bedding and they need it and we can let the music be hard to come prepared for many years among them an airplane basically thrown the country and things are you need to know of course they can't read those things without borders there's a limited amount of space lettuce you mentioned that the sperm actually surviving able to distribute some of these i insisted his last fall hutson me how many students for a biblical span in that yeah actually it was spring semester we had about i'd say around forty to fifty new international students and we were able to distribute quite a few items how it advertised as i said oh mr bo keys to the pierce your campus i guess people my church and people been really good about giving if you're interested in giving you can call me at my office i mean i asked the status disappear see him on campus per year we have done just over three hundred students here at pittsburgh's state from all over the

world so we're really in international campus and we said for the new ones came in the spring the fall is when we have the largest number of new students lisa committee around a hundred or even more and so i'm collecting now looking ahead toward fall as they will get it they're holding another new good batch of international students who want to work on them and society very nice to have some nice adams talk a memoir that's right and we have a good start what occurred before this was organized as far as students acquiring these household items in the other arm either if they have friends here or they would get them that basically they have to buy them their international office does provide aid than service for new students to wal mart but now before we take them to walmart they can have the chance to borrow some things for free and i will save a few dollars absolutely the great way to welcome into pst or i will thank you so much for joining us today is the pleasure was my pleasure thank you for inviting me and got lucky and continuing to collect these items thank you very much with the

true that's true and then it also have a love of music they're at so since august since the british invasion of the sixties was in seventh grade and beatles came to america after less overdosing or so we're really as ray did you have to really be able to do so that even in junior high you are you consider yourself as a singer songwriter in the making that cost ten dollars or the grocer few chords to write songs that many times it rose to a world that could lead to them and he continued i still i have it's become a hobby well i actually have not spent all my time teaching i spent some time in asheville in austin texas chicago tribune well so what they consist of what has the things that he did and to pursue that world mostly and more around looking for a right now three formal remarks in the fall it's

i was influenced by bob dylan and by neil young and to some extent waylon jennings and some of the country are laws and john prine so it's a kind of configuration of those influence and i grew up in a family of my mother people usually play bluegrass music that mix of color with an object to that that's that's what i do see any final training to teach you i have many guitar lessons and i studied with one individual in a lovely rooster korean history and still do occasionally there have a lesson with him are so few guitar lessons but that's about it when you go to write a song is this something that you sit down is a process or is it that process starts long before sitting down with or with a guitar in hand or how have those houses were it's you never know for sure when when a minute you are i have occasionally had a sit down to write a solo

silence and speaker to run so when my college classes we had to do that tonight and i came up with one other times just a phrase or so they will work and family are some countries possibly weren't just sort of a serendipitous concert ex porsche newsweek about three minutes long and tell a story about a very difficult much more difficult than it seems it would be sour it results in science know i've had a few dozen voters that have taken so the songs and they have in their catalogs for hours looking for material and that difficult to get call because there's a gate keeping court process there because it's only people at what in the industry are so if you are a representative of the tour it's just like nashville and austin and those losses loss of those places that the singer songwriter's some

made with a polymer research center we started out with just one scientist in nineteen ninety four and that's crime to eleven scientists now plus some graduate students and also do work and our prince for workers in the palmer's sciences dealing with development of polly all's for use and polyurethane applications a good shorter word for polio than just plastics applications it really goes beyond plastics one of the principal research projects were doing right now deals with flexible and rigid farms which are in all kinds of household furniture a year with lots of farms throughout automobiles and both to cede some of their ashes and the headliners in a place or spattered in a car is that type of family and there were also working with rigid firms which are used in refrigeration applications such as plastic to worries household refrigerator is big too lenient type installations and even home insulation as a rigid foam so the

market for these things are huge and if were able to develop spoils which we have that can be used to produced those things from soybean oil as opposed to petroleum applications there are changing to a renewable resource sensitive the resources coming from deep in the ground the carbon that's produced a soybean plant in southeast kansas is the same carbon that exists four hundred feet down and oil deposits it does make a difference when the garden was made it's the same stuff if we can substitute the renewable resource for the petrochemical applications it's got huge implications for the environment as well as for the economy well now i understand correctly if i'm wrong this is one of the only places in the united states of as kind of research is going on tonight some effect we are probably the leading her institute in the united states in this particular field and in fact in the

world there is another group in houston is doing similar research and we've learned just recently that some other universities after reading about what we're doing are also starting to get involved lee university missouri is doing some of this kind of research and we know that other universities across the country are doing some similar race h to that depicts first a university that can scan a research center is the leading one at this point we believe we are fantastic so i understand the facility is to be built can you tell me a little bit about what the need is for it and how the states have gone to get the new facility well what were working with now are laboratories are on the third floor of what used to be a college dormitory ensure calling on the campus as the number of scientists and art projects of ground we filled up that third floor we've also reached the capacity of infrastructure the building to support the electrical the gas and the water etc so the physical plant told us about a year ago that we had reached

started writing my own material i kind of threw everything that was formal everything that was written in the book i threw it out the windows and just started playing around and having fun with the guitar and finding out what kind of different things they could do played music with a pretty original style was unconventional filed but i like playing it actually making it for my own thing do you plan to retire is that your instrument an hour that's my instrument i if you come on the earth that it will feed some percussion maybe like a bongo here are arranged think there are some fun things that ad from percussive elements i like to tell people that my performance and shift from a nice week solo guitar piece very melancholy of very melodic to very highly energetic percussive very fun going from one song to the next

sort of startling people but those needing a sort of blue i guess going to a play it always been a musician i know you mentioned that you took some lessons at the even at the age of twelve years has this been something that's been part of your life in a sense well it's ten years old my mother never believed me taking trumpet lessons back in time and playing in my head i guess is junior high school or junior school or something about elementary school band i and one of the top ten years old i had an image of always becoming a rock star my mother never believe me she finally after two years of asking an acting she finally got me a guitar and die he built a private of the plane after the long skinny play solo ira and i record went from really phenomenal musicians i'm the reason i like to unfollow a proper carey gives me the opportunity to actually make a living as the thick which is

really a half in the music world the more people you get on the more people you have to pay the more you have to worry about watching the more personality to have to cope with that are formed and they're a band called what he knew in the early nineties and we used the poor and travel on a small base and i've just a tough thing to do i felt that about that follow lifestyle that i really like my musical fiorello and that college age group are greater because there's a lot of what i do so original style that the students who listen to my music i almost inevitably always come up after a performance energy is eager to figure out what the heck and do not departed make it fell and the way that it sounds not that it not that there's anything that makes the music found out land attorney but i do play from original files i when you listen to that for you fail that's great listen to those multiple track and then you see me live and

you say oh wait a minute the evil doing it all in one take with open and plays a guitar out of that vote and run it out why i think that the college didn't judge him to be a great age home they're learning you know about music in a london and in that group and i are like why inform on the acclaimed anime news as well for a lot of workers that venues across the country some clubs a few festivals during the summer my music train fans a lot of different ages and whatnot but if that for some reason the colleges refused to have taken up really well and senor it's been featured on various public radio programs as a corrective know those rivers you the folk couple the national chain that has been featured on and that i've lived i wanna mature the couple years ago featured on morning edition

and then occasional bar that my music has been used as background music for a couple different ads that have been released in regions of the country and i i try to pop and have often the victim one of the time on various radio stations all across the country great savings into breakthroughs and that exposure their way to meeting a lot of harmful very very cool it so even a musician in for several years where you getting inspiration there are so many that i love for one pair of the fact that it i play music and sort of trippy guitar as an extension of myself all i have to do with food beautiful sunset and that might inspire a great tune or something like that so so far the uk inspiration the nature of the great inspiration i have some wonderful nephews and nieces some of them that are very young and very fun to hang around with a very energetic him they inspire me and i'm a part of the new mission so if it a musician like leo kottke or maybe michael hedges who in
