The contributions of engineers to society will be featured in the 51st annual Engineering Exposition, along with demonstrations of waste treatment plants, emergency radio operations and ways to combat pollution by participants in the exposition.
Lee Hoffman, Lawrence junior and publicity chairman for the expoition, said the reason for a new position was that the main stream of engineering today was geared to cleaning up the environment.
The exposition will be open from noon to 9 p.m. today and i will have a small selection of awards banquet will be at 6 p.m. Sunday. All exhibitions will be set up by our staff.
THE ECOLOGY EXHIBIT among student exhibits is shown by "Breathtaking," the project of Chemical Engineers. The exhibit includes in its display a model invention, one inversion, one of the problems encountered with air pollution, will be demonstrated, Hoffman
"Waste Treatment, Today and Tomorrow" is the title of another ecology exhibit. The display will demonstrate methods being used to treat waste water. A plexiglas model plant will illustrate an active method of waste treatment. Alan Cunningham, Gauyama, Puerto Rico, senior, is the chairman of the American Society for Civil Engineers.
THE ARCHITECTURAL Engineering Association will demonstrate pre-stress concrete systems, vibration and rapid transit systems. The exhibit is called "Architectural Innovation Needs, or Lincoln Logs of the Future." Jim Franklin, Gray Court junior, is the chairman of the group.
The activities of the petroleum industry in pollution control will be shown in an exhibit by the team. The display will illustrate the dependence on oil in the United States and Teopka senior, is the chairman.
ALTHOUGH the Ecology movement is a popular topic for the exhibits, several projects in which engineers affect society which engineers affect society
The Amateur Radio Club at KU will open their radio shack in Room 217, Learned Hall to show you how to operate a serve public needs. Franks Parks, Lawrence junior and chairman of the project, said messages would be transmitted and received for them on the shack during the exposition.
DIFFERENT METHODS of power generation will be discussed in the following: Sigma Honorary, Fraternity, Bruce Johnston, Stone junior, Bruce Johnson.
Learned Hall. The films will be about NASA's research and developments in space. Tim Liebert, Coffeyville junior, is chairman of the project for the Tau Beta Pi Honorary Society.
A queen chosen by the student body at KU will reign over exposition. An election was held
March 24 and 25 in which students contributed 10 cents a vote for the candidate of their choice.
The candidates were: Wendy Sue Walton, Mission sophomore, Pamela铭, West Des Moines, Ia. sophomore; Susan Lombard, Abile junior; March Orlowski, Ia. sophomore; Jeri Warman, Mission junior.
Hoffman said films from NASA would be shown in Room 200
The winner of the election will be announced at the opening of the exposition. The runners-up serve as attending to the queen.
At an earlier time in the life of KU the horse and the hitching rope were built for two a few a familiar part of the campus scene. The bicycle seems to be making a comeback because it was built to pollute the air they must breathe, but the other two means of transportation seem to be gone.

Car, Cycle Increase Shows KU's Growth

era with lilac bushes and an elaborate hitching post in front of old Fraser Hall.
Ten years later cars began compounding problems at KU by churning rainy roads into seas of snow. The company Jayhawk Boulevard was laid in September, 1920, and extended from the art museum to Green Hall. A popular expression of the city's growing living space is where you found it.
Boulevard to about the same number which appear there to day.
A survey taken in 1962 revealed two more than 1,000 cars passed through the library every hour. This prompted the construction of the library to reduce tranees to reduce the number of accidents and speed up the flow of books.
THE NEVER-ENDING CAMPAIGN to regulate the automobile on the KU campus began in 1922 with Chancellor Ernest Lindley. The University was forced a restriction on the number of cars parked along Jayhawk
THE STAGGERING growth of KU in the last 20 years has been reflected in the increase of cars and motorcycles registered by students and faculty members. In the 1957-58 school year KU student-vehicles, 438 cars and cycles and faculty members registered 2,008 vehicles.
Last year the number of registered vehicles was double from 752,348 in this year to 13,483 students and 3,724 faculty members have registered cars and cycles. In June 2019, the Department Traffic and Security Office, said he believed that the year-end totals would far exceed last week's numbers.
Davis said the problem of providing enough parking had always been a major concern of Mr. Obama, but he would not provide money for parking improvements and that he would not foresee any new lots in the near future.
THE TRAFFIC AND Security Office also handles the registration of bicycles. A管理局 requires a 25 cent sticker on all bikes, which is collected by that office and remitted to the city clerk. Davis notes that they also have license racks where they are needed.
Recent proposals dealing with parking were tabled at the April 11 meeting of the Council. That plan calls for increases in prices of parking permits raises the fines for parking without free bus service at night.
What most people believe to be the front door of Strong Hall was originally intended to be the rear door.

Strong Hall: Front Door in Back

Clayton Stone, KU plant modification analyst, said, "At the time when Strong Hall was being built, it was thought that
that if the 400-foot long building was too close to the road that all the buildings on campus would appear crowded together.
the traffic would approach it from the north. A wide porch and elaborate staircases were built behind the building because of this. However, when the building was near completion and it was apparent that the University would be excavated, a directive these were eliminated."
Stone jokes that despite some appearances, none of the other buildings on campus were built backwards.
In the early 1900s enrollment increased so rapidly that more classrooms and office space were greatly needed.

completed until late in 1923.
The Legislature provided $125,000 in 1910-1911 for the construction of Strong Hall, but because the plan called for two wings and an elaborate rotunda, the legislature refused to construe the construction of the east wing.
In 1911, the legislature appropriated more money for the state's colleges and the funds were sufficient to build only the foundations of the center.
Hall, named after Cunleave Hall, strong. Strong, was built three years of 15 years. Ground was broken for the building in December, but the floor was destroyed of 15 years. Ground was broken after Cunleave Hall, named after Cunleave Hall, strong. Strong, was built three years
six years later, the legislature finally allocated enough money for the completion of the structure.
The original site of the building was slightly more south-easterly than where it stands today. It was moved because officers feared
However, Stone said that when old Fraser Hall was first built it was facing the flow of traffic. Before the building was razed to make room for constructors, Fraser Hall, the campus had exhibited the rear of the building and most students used the rear door.
