Carr Receives Engineering Education Honor
Dean T. DeWitt Carr of the School of Engineering and Architecture received an award for "meritorious service to engineering education" from the national council of Sigma Tau, honorary engineering fraternity, at a abuqet Wednesday in Memorial Union.
Three honorary members and 35 students were initiated preceding the annual banquet this year in the Kansas room. W. W. Keeler, vice president of Phillips Petroleum company; Deane E. Ackers, president of the Kansas Power and Light company, Topeka; and Alfred M. Meyers, chief engineer of the Kansas City Structural Steel company, all three KU alumni, were presented membership keys.
Mr. Ackers said in his address on "Management." that of the factors involved, the most important is the art of motivation. When you have mastered the art of management motivation you have succeeded, he said.
Mr. Ackers said the problems of management are greater than they were 50 years ago and management techniques are 50 years behind technical progress. He urged young engineers who wish to become successful at management to read books on the subject.
Rex Tucker, engineering senior, president of the KU chapter, was toastmaster. David Johnson, engineering senior, welcomed the new members, and Don Park, a new member, gave the response.
Prof. Albert S. Palmerlee, fraternity adviser, presented the award to Dean Carr. Prof. Palmerlee earlier this year received an award for "meritorious service to Sigma Tau."
Conference HearsMurphy
Topeka —U1.P— Dr. Franklin D. Murphy, chancellor, and Dr. James A. McCain, president of Kansas State college, believe that this nation is in danger of losing an educational "cold war" with Russia.
'The Soviet is outdistancing the United States in training youth,' said Dr. McCain.
Both spoke yesterday at a general session of the Governor's Conference on Education.
"It should be evident," he said "that the short supply of professional and scientific workers threatens the health, comfort, and prosperity of the American people
"Less well understood is the jeopardy to our national security In recent months evidence has been made public which indicates that there has been a sharp increase in the numbers of youth receiving professional and scientific training in the Communist countries and highlights our own comparatively poor showing."
Dr. Murphy said that since the 1930's this country has expanded its social welfare programs and the number of elderly people has risen sharply.
"If the American people in general and the people of Kansas in particular make the mistake of financing such programs at the expense of education of our youth, we will be well on the road to killing the goose that lays the golden egg," said he.

Bannister Decides to Retire; Santee Expresses Sorrow
London—(U, P,) Dr. Roger Bannister, the world's first four-minute miler, retired from competition today because he can't be content with "second-rate performances."
The Briton who brought a sports dream to stunning reality May 6 when he flashed a mile over the Iffley Road track at Oxford in 3:59.4, announced his retirement at last night's dinner of the British Sportswriters association.
The announcement fulfilled Bannister's promise that he would quit track when it interfered with his medical career.
"Since the European games, it has become increasingly difficult for me to train," explained the 25-year-old physician.
Wes Santee, holder of the American record for the mile run, said he is "disappointed" that Bannister has decided to quit track competition.
Santee's best, the record for this country, is 4:00.6.
"Im surprised and disappointed," Santee said. "I've been corresponding with Roger and was under the impression he intended to resume running next spring. He was good for competition. I believe he could have done it again and perhaps even run faster time."
Santee will compete in the mile in the Sugar Bowl track meet Dec. 31.
"If conditions are right, I believe I'll be close to four minutes," said Santee.
