Around the Campus KU Installs 2 New KU Space Science Steam Generators To Be Examined
The two new steam generators recently installed at the heating plant will take care of KU's heating needs for many years, according to Keith Lawton, director of physical plant.
The generators, provided for in an appropriation from the 1960 legislature, were necessary because of new buildings planned. The heating capacity of the old units would have been exhausted upon completion of the addition to Dyche Hall, Mr. Lawton said.
The new units are capable of 60,000 pounds of steam production per hour. The older units, installed nearly 40 years ago, occupied more space and were rated at only 15,000 pounds per hour, he said.
Installation of the new units was the second part of a four-stage program for the heating and power plant. Mr. Lawton said.
The first stage included construction of new oil storage tanks at 19th and Naismith Drive and removal of the old oil tanks. This project is approximately 70 per cent complete.
The third stage, now being prepared for bids, includes piping and controls for the new steam generators.
The final stage is the installation of an alternate main electrical source to the power plant. Bids will be taken on this project around Jan. 1, he said.
YAF to Show Film On Red China
The Young Americans for Freedom will sponsor the anti-Communist film "Red China—Outlaw" at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Fraser Theater.
Klaus H. Fringsheim, instructor of political science, will give his views on the film and Red China and will answer questions from the audience after the film.
The film, produced by the Committee of One Million, is designed to arouse public opinion against the admission of Red China into the United Nations.
Mr. Pringsheis is a China specialist. He did his doctor's dissertation on the Chinese Communist Youth Movement. He taught at the University of Hong Kong before coming to KU.
Marian Jerslid Gives 13th Recital
Marian Jerslid, associate professor of piano, will give her 13th annual faculty recital at 8 p.m. Nov. 27 in Swarthout Recital Hall. She will play sonatas by Scarlatti, Hindemith and Schubert.
Prof. Jerslid has taught at KU since 1947. In 1954. Prof. Jerslid won the New York Town Hall Debt award for her performance there. During 1957 and 1958 she studied on a Fulbright Grant in Berlin, Germany, giving solo and chamber music concerts in the America Houses of West Germany.
Home Economists Meet
"Research and Action" will be the discussion topic at the Home Economics Club meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Fraser Hall dining room. Speakers will be Charlotte Lee, assistant professor of home economics and Muriel H. Johnson, associate professor of home economics.
Doctor to Talk on Stevioside
"The Chemistry of Stevioside" will be discussed at 4 p.m. tomorrow by Dr. Erich Mosetting in 233 Malott. Dr. Mosetting is chief of the Steriod Section, National Institute of Arthritic and Metabolic Diseases, of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md.
History Club Meets Tomorrow
The History Club will meet at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Jayhawker Room of the Kansas Union. E.A Bayne, American Universities Field Service representative, will speak on "My personal reminiscences of Chiang Kai-shek."
KU's facilities and capabilities for aiding scientific and industrial growth in this area will be studied tomorrow by officials of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Midwest Research Institute.
Man's conceit is boundless.—Alfred Graham
The meeting, part of a six-state program, will involve representatives of the science and engineering departments involved in space technological training.
The 10-year program is designed to encourage colleges and universities to participate in research and education in space sciences, and to encourage industrial firms to utilize the technology resulting from space research.
The NASA will receive information from the Midwest Research Institute concerning the skills and facilities available for advanced education, research and industry. The Institute, in turn, will receive scientific information from NASA and will make it available to area universities and industries.
Officials of the program hope to increase the use of the Midwest's facilities for science research. They feel the Midwest has lagged behind the rest of the country in scientific development.
Manuscripts and articles may be preserved without retyping or mimeographing due to a new photocopying service now being used by Watson Library.
Photocopy Installed
The work, done on full-size zerox paper, prints and reproduces tests, line drawings, manuscripts and unusual alphabets. But halftone plates and photographs also reproduce in satisfactory detail.
Intended primarily for library use, the service is available to library patrons on the limited basis of library approval and one copy per person. A charge of five cents a page of photocopy is levied.
Jay Janes Meet
Jay Janes will meet at 5 p.m. tomorrow in the Fine Room of the Kansas Union.
A $500 award for outstanding work in accounting has been awarded to Arthur M. Revell, Topeka senior, by the Haskins and Sells Foundation, Inc., of Kansas City, Mo.
Accounting Award Won by KU Student
The award, given on the basis of merit rather than financial need, is awarded to students at 74 colleges in the United States. It has been given six times to KU seniors in accounting.
Sam E. Ellis of the Kansas City office of Haskins and Sells, presented the award Nov. 8 at a meeting of the Accounting Society.
Revelv has a 2.8 grade point average and is on the dean's honor roll. He also holds the $500 Elizabeth M Hovt scholarship.

Field Trips Are KU Tradition
By Margaret Cathcart
Once every semester KU students don a pair of faded jeans, a baggy sweatsuit and their most tattered pair of sneakers, in order to participate in the campus tradition known as a field trip. Chigger bites, rain and water soaked clothing are symbols of the field trip.
On a recent field trip to Potter Lake one of the zoology lab sections discovered a "wild creature." He turned out to be the Great Dane mascot of Delta Tau Delta fraternity. However, the class did observe through Thor's wild barking that he was deathly afraid of soap suds. The suds were being emptied into Potter Lake from the Chi Omega fountain.
The same lab class found an unusual specimen floating around the edge of Potter Lake—a toy boat.
STUDENTS INVARIABLY get so excited chasing frogs and other "hopping creatures" on field trips that they often hop into the pond with them. For example, a zoology student became so engrossed in frog-chasing that she chased the frog and herself into the water.
"It seems clear to me that from now on we will probably learn more about the earth by going away from it than remaining on it," said Dr. Harrison Brown, professor of geochemistry who, with Dr. Bruce Murray, heads a lunar study group.
But, they said, perhaps more significant than being the first stepping stone into space, the moon may be imprinted with missing chapters from the history of the solar system.
Another student was so upset when the rowboat pulled away from the shore without her, that she kept chasing the boat even after the land ran into the water, and she did not stop chasing it until she fell face down in the water.
This is possible, they explain, because the moon is virtually unchanged, unmodified by water and air, and unaffected by a molten core.
There may be, they said, ice on the moon, hidden away in lunar depressions or caves that never are touched by the searing sunlight. The moon's temperature varies between about 250 degrees above Fahrenheit in sunlight to about 240 degrees below zero in the shade.
"In particular, close study of the moon can teach us much about early earth history." Brown said.
Ice may have formed long ago from water incorporated chemically in moon material and later released, Brown said. Or it could have been brought in by meteorite impacts.
Color differences on the moon are being studied by the group with the 60-inch reflector telescope at Mt. Wilson.
There is no atmosphere to moderate temperatures since the lunar surface is a vacuum.
Why Go to the Moon? CIT Scientists Explain
They also have ventured to predict what the first man to land on the moon might find.
The group is interested in learning whether these color differences on the moon's flat areas are really color differences or caused by differing reflectivity.
PASADENA, Calif. — (UPI) — Why go to the moon — that most familiar of earth's neighbors that is slated for the first stop in man's quest for the unknown?
A group of hard-working California Institute of Technology scientists give at least one good reason for shooting the moon — to learn more about our own planet.

THE FOLLOWING is the favorite field trip story of a KU entomology professor. Eight students and two professors had camped for the night in a canyon. Early the next morning a violent wind storm blew up. The wind picked up tents, cooking utensils and even a campstove, but most disastrously it blew away some snake specimens. The snakes were never seen again; wrapped inside white paper bags, they just disappeared, and the efforts of half day's searching proved fruitless in locating them.

And there is an entomology graduate student from New York who is afraid to go on a field trip without his gun because this is Kansas and he is afraid of cows.
The entire investigative project is intended to complement and supplement the lunar probe work being done with rockets, Murray said. But rocket landings on the moon must be preceded by a considerable amount of laboratory and telescopic investigation to realize their full value, he said.
