Engine School Has New Dept.
Page 5
The new department of mechanics and aerospace engineering at KU has been created through the merger of the departments of aeronautical engineering and of engineering mechanics.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe in announcing the new department said the merger had been requested by the School of Engineering and Architecture and approved by the Board of Regents.
Both the aeronautical and engineering mechanics departments were to be in the $1,900,000 engineering laboratory building now under construction west of Naismith Road. The merger will effect maximum utilization of the new facilities and equipment. Dean McNown said.
"This action is an early response to recent observations of lagging space technology in the Midwest by the National Aeronautical and Space Administration," said John S. McNown, dean of the School of Engineering. "However, the move had been considered for some time and the NASA interest accelerated it."
Dr. Kenneth C. Deemer, chairman of engineering mechanics, will be chairman of the single new mechanics and aerospace engineering department.
Dr. Deemer said talents of the faculty in both departments will be coordinated to strengthen the new programs. The graduate program in engineering mechanics already includes the Ph.D. degree and the immediate objective is to create strong graduate programs in aerospace engineering.
Courses such as rocket ballistics and rocket propulsion already are being taught in the aerospace curriculum and will be supplemented by additional courses in space technology next year.
Chemistry Prof. Gets Grant
The Research Corporation of New York has granted $2,500 to Earl S. Huyser, assistant professor of chemistry, to continue his studies of reactions in polymers and plastics.
The grant supports the third year of research by Prof. Huyser in "Kinetics of Free Radical Chain Addition Reactions." He is also conducting research under three other grants. He will name a research assistant next semester.

Career Cues:
"Whatever your major, make sure to include a course in 'people'!"
W. Emlen Roosevelt, President National State Bank, Elizabeth, N.J.
"If my college adviser had prophesied that studying psychology would some day help promote my career in banking, I'd have scoffed. Yet that is exactly what has happened. And when I think about it now the reason seems obvious. The facts and figures of banking, or of any other field, are mechanical devices. They take on real meaning
only when related to people.
"Good psychology is also the basis of all teamwork. And, since most of today's business and scientific problems are too complicated for 'one man' solutions, teamwork is essential. If you want to be a valuable team player, and a likely candidate for captain, be the person who understands people. Learn what it takes for people to work together in harmony. Learn how to win trust and confidence. Learn basic human psychology.
"Bear this in mind, too. World tension, community tension, business tension, even family tension are the facts of everyday life. The more you know of human behavior, the better prepared you will be to deal with these problems.
"So, if you have the chance, take a course devoted to 'people.' Your class adviser can probably help you fit a psychology elective into your schedule. I don't think you'll regret it...I know I didn't."
