Track Team Dominates Drake Meet Saturday
Kansas' track team continued its domination of the Midland's Big Three track meets this weekend by winning four first places at the Drake Relays.
Bill Nieder and Al Oerter, Kansas' weight duo, continued their victory strings in the Drake meet by winning the shot-put and discus respectively. Nieder was far below his best heave of the year, but managed to hold off his competition with a throw of 54 feet $1 \frac{1}{2}$ inches. Oerter threw the discus 170 feet $5 \frac{1}{4}$ inches, to better both his previous marks this year.
Bitner Iniured
Kansas lost its chance for an unprecedented triple grand slam in weight events when javelin thrower Les Bitner retired to the showers with a pulled back muscle. His best throw was 169 feet $6\frac{1}{4}$ inches. Jim Londerholm, runner-up in the Kansas Relays, was able to place no better than third, in front of teammate John Parker.
Kansas' other first places came in the hop-step-jump and the four-mile relay. Kent Floerke sailed 47 feet in the hop-step and jump to first place in that event. He fell only four inches short in the broad jump with a leap of 24 feet 4 inches. The four-mile relay team with carries by Jan Howell, Hal Long, Jerry McNeal, and Al Frame gave KU its third first-place victory. Hampered by the wind and rain, their time was 17:36.8. Frame raced home almost 100 yards ahead of the second-place winner.
Spinter Dick Blair was another standout for the Jayhawkers. Although he placed third in the 100-yard dash, he was nosed out only by inches at the tape by Bobby Morrow. Abilene-Christian speedster, and Duke's Dave Sime, winner of the event in the record time of 69.4, the only record broken during the meet.

Young chemical engineer works on new ways to make silicones
Silicones are a new class of man-made chemicals with very unusual properties. Made from sand, they assume the form of rubber, grease, oil and resin. Under extremes of heat and cold, the rubber stays rubbery, the oil oily. Silicones added to fabrics make them exceptionally water-repellent. Silicone makes waxes spread easier . . . paints almost impervious to weather.
One of the men responsible for finding new ways to produce silicone products is 26-year-old Frank V. Summers.
Summers' Work Intercsting, Important
As process engineer of the Silicone Products Department, Frank Summers first compares the results of small-scale, pilot-plant experiments with the production methods in actual use. Then, using his own knowledge of chemical-engineering principles, he designs faster, more efficient and more economical methods of producing silicone products. Frank Summers' excellent training, diversified experience and outstanding personal qualifications make him a valuable contributor to this engineering team.
25,000 College Graduates at General Electric When Frank Summers came to General Electric in 1949, he already knew the kind of work he wanted to do. Like each of our 25,000 college-graduate employees, he was given his chance to grow and realize his full potential. For General Electric has long believed this: Whenever fresh young minds are given the freedom to make progress, everybody benefits-the individual, the company, and the country.
