Chemistry Professor Describes Recent Atomic Energy Research
Frank S. Rowland, professor of chemistry, said last night science is changing so much that "when you feel that nothing is changing, you feel out of touch."
Prof. Rowland, who teaches a freshman chemistry course and does radiochemistry research in the KU Nuclear Reactor, recently returned from a study group meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
"The meeting provided leads toward future developments," Prof. Rowland said. It was one of several IAFA programs to encourage the development and application of atomic energy for peaceful purposes in developing countries.
PROF. ROWLAND said the IAEA came about as a direct result of Preident Eisenhower's Atoms for Peace Program. The agency has provided atomic reactors to countries all over the world to provide research facilities and electric power.
He said Brazil does not appear to need atomic power to provide electricity because of its hydroelectric potential, but it does not have the money to develop it. The country also has no fossil fuels (coal, oil, etc.) to utilize, and is thus an ideal
Christy Group To Play at KU
A schoolteacher, a track star, a welder and an amateur skin diver are only a few of the diversified New Christy Minstrels.
The New Christy Minstrels, a popular folk singing group, and the largest of its kind, will appear at 8 p.m., December 8 in Hoch Auditorium.
The group takes its name from Edwin P. "Pops" Christy, who formed the original Christy Minstrels in 1842. Christy is credited with making Stephen Foster's music popular.
ONE OF THE New Christy Minstrel's recent appearances was in "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" at the Starlight Theater in Kansas City, Mo.
The concert is sponsored by the Special Events committee of SUA. The committee took a student poll at enrollment and found that the New Christy Minstrels were the most popular.
The New Christy Minstrels' albums include "Presenting the New Christy Minstrels," "Tall Tales," "Ramblin'", and "New Christy Minstrels in Person."
They have appeared on the NBC TV Bell Telephone Hour and ABC TV Hootenanny.
Tickets will go on sale at 9 a.m. Thursday, at the Information Booth and at the information counter in the lobby of the Kansas Union. Tickets will be on sale Thursday, Friday and Monday. No block seats will be sold.

eties." He explained that this is the study of "chemical reactions occurring at very high energies." Atomic reactors are used in this research because they produce high energy atoms that can't be obtained in any other way.
AT KU, PROF. ROWLAND is engaged in research in "chemical kin-

Business Office Will Not Cash Student's Second-Party Checks
Students will not be allowed to cash second party checks this semester at the KU Business Office.
H. I. Swartz, auditor at the Business Office, said that the office would make exceptions on checks that are made out to the students by parents, and on checks that are used to pay university bills.
Swartz. "In the past we have cashed second party checks, but the problem involved forced us to discontinue the service."
"This is the first time that this procedure has had to be used," said
Swartz said that many students were taking advantage of the service by making out checks that had insufficient funds to back them up. He also stated that students would often cash second party checks using anonymous names.
