Radio-TV Program Is Expanded
The expansion of the faculty for the growing radio-television curriculum at the University was completed recently by the announcement of two appointments by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
Stovepipes Fly? It's Possibility
By NORMAN RITTER
United Press Staff Correspondent
San Francisco—(U.P.) The "flying
stovepipe" may be full of hot air,
but it's more than a pipe dream.
It's called the ramjet engine. Engineers say its future looks as bright today as that of the piston engine when the Wright brothers first soared into the air in 1903.
In fact, there may be one in your future, if you live long enough. and even if you're getting along in years, you are due to hear a lot more about this new twist on an old aviation tune.
The optimistic men who are building and experimenting with the ramjet predict it will drive aircraft at speeds of 1,500 to 2,000 miles per hour some day. And they say it will take man closer to the rim of the earth's atmosphere than any other air-breathing engine can.
Unlike the turbo-jet, the ramjet has no moving parts which, engineers say, limit the potential of the turbo-jet.
No Moving Parts
The ramjet depends for its push on a highly inflammable mixture of fuel and air. The air enters through the nose of the jet, is compressed as it goes rearward, mixes with fuel and ignites in a burst that rockets the jet forward.
There's one rub and a sixth grader could spot it. What makes the air enter in the first place? It's obvious that the mechanism must be moving to begin the explosive cycle.
"A crusing power plant," the ramjet is called by Roy Marquardt president of Marquardt Aircraft of Venice, Calif, a pioneer in ramjet production.
So the ramjet can never be used to launch a plane or guided missile, but it can provide the cruising power once the craft is in flight.
Marquardt, who became interested in the jrnit principle while working at Northrop Aircraft in 1942, two years later founded his own company and has spurred government acceptance of the need for experimentation in ramjets.
On Helicopter
Stanley Hiller, the "boy wonder" of the helicopter industry, introduced the ramjet to 'coptering some time ago, and only this year his 322, an Army helicopter with ramjets on the rotor tips, was approved by the Civil Aeronautics Board.
Wright Aeronautical and Pratt & Whitney also are doing work with ramiels.
But Marquardt said the ramjet's future in helicopters is limited due to the low speed of revolution of the rotors. He insisted the ramjet attains its peak of efficiency at very high speeds—well into the supersonic range.
He believes the best current application of the ramjet is to guided missiles. Chiefly powered by rockets, these missiles have a tremendously high fuel consumption and thus a limited range.
With the relatively economical ramjet "taking over" after the missile has been launched by rocket or turbo-jet, the missile—and some day the airplane—would attain its maximum speed, range and efficiency of operation. Marquardt maintains.
Wilson Bryan Key, Jr., will be assistant professor of speech and journalism. Victor M. Hyden, Jr., will be instructor in speech and director of the laboratory wired-wireless radio station KDGU.
Growth of Radio-TV
Rapid growth of the radio journalism major in the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information necessitated reorganization and enlargement of the staff.
Mr. Key, who has a broad background of experience in newspaper, advertising and commercial radio work, comes to K U from the University of Denver, where he has been chairman of the department of journalism since 1953.
Mr. Hyden has intermixed commercial radio work with education and for the past two years was principal of Herington high school. Although teaching full time, he will work for the doctorate degree at KU.
Former Public Information Officer During World War II Mr. Key did public information work in the Army Air Corps. After release from the service he worked for the Manila Times and Bulletin and the Philippine Broadcasting Company. Later as an account executive with an advertising agency he prepared a series of commercial radio programs for Pan American Airways.
Mr. Hyden holds the B.S. degree from Kansas State Teachers College, Emporia, and the M.A. degree from the Colorado State Teachers College, Greeley. He taught at Madison high school five years before going to Herington. In radio he has been an announcer for stations in Emporia, Greeley, Wichita, and Beaumont. Texas. He has attended the Northwestern University-National Broadcasting Company summer institute.
He holds the A. B. degree from Mexico City College, and the master of arts degree from the University of California at Los Angeles. He has completed work for the Ph. D. degree from Denver University, except the dissertation.
Dr. Bruce Linton, formerly of Omaha University, is chairman of the radio-television teaching committee. R. Edwin Browne and Glenn Price, director and production manager respectively of the KU radio stations, will devote part time to teaching as assistant professor and instructor in journalism.

Mather To Rehash Games This Year
Members of the University of Kansas Alumni association again this year will have an opportunity to receive a football newsletter from coach Chuck Mather outlining football information after every game.
Request cards for the newsletter have been mailed to members of the association. Mather started the after-game report during his first year as head football coach last 'all'.
Providence, R.I.-(U.P.)-By selling his automobile for $8. Melvin James had enough money to pay a fine for driving an improperly registered car. After pleading guilty, James told the judge that the car had caused him so much trouble that he had sold it following his arrest. Obligingly, the judge cut the fine from $10 to $8.
