Engineering Exhibit
DISTILLATION EXPERIMENTATION Scott Sterrett, engineering senior, is adjusting a bench distillation column prior to taking experimental data for liquid hydrocarbons such as gasoline and crude oil. The mechanism will be demonstrated in the chemical engineering laboratory, Lindley hall basement, during the Engineering Exposition
today and tomorrow.
NAVY GUN ON EXHIBIT—One of the Navy's most versatile anti-aircraft weapons is being displayed at the Engineering Exposition. The ordnance equipment is displayed with exhibits of navigation, communications, damage control and fire control equipment. Shown at the controls of the gun are Don Nielsen, journalism junior, and
R. D. Osborne, storekeeper first class.
To Exhibit High Frequency Transmission
A modulated ultra high frequency transmission will be exhibited by the electrical engineering department at the Engineering Exposition Friday and Saturday.
The UHF is the same frequency with the same type of operation as that used in televising the Ku-K. State basketball game here March 7.
A revised three-dimensional sound exhibit is planned for the two-day mechanical carnival. Using two microphones and two amplifiers, the

Brought back from last year's exhibit are a homemade television set, a capacity operated relay, and a
There will be exhibits featuring a modulated light beam, Dr. E. B. Phillips' network analyzer, an induction motor display, and a tic-tac-toe game run on an IBM punch tape principle.
Dr. Barr To Talk Over KLWN
Dean Harold G. Barr, of the School of Religion, will speak on "Jesus and Modern Society," on the Sociology on the air broadcast over station KLWN at 9:45 a.m. Sunday.
Dr. Barr was elected dean of the School of Religion in 1947 and in 1951 he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Phillips university.
Having served as minister for a number of Christian churches, Dr. Barr was from 1937 to 1944 both minister of the First Christian
Anderson Attending Meeting In Kansas City
Prof. George Anderson, chairman of the history department, is attending the "Teaching of Social Science" meetings being held in Kansas City, Mo., today and Saturday.
The meetings are sponsored by the University of Missouri in conjunction with the Carnegie foundation.
Two publications of the bureau of government research are being distributed this week, Ethan Allen, director, said today.
The 69-page pamphlet, "The Missouri River Basin Proposals for Development," by Marvin Meade, research assistant, is being sent out over the state to public libraries, state and city officials, teachers, and other research bureaus.

TO DISPLAY DYNAJET HELICOPTER MODEL—Among the exhibits at the Engineering Exhibition today and Saturday is a research model of a dynajet helicopter, operator by small pulsejet engine similar to larger ones used in German V-1 bombs. Jack Trausue, aeronautical engineering junior, is shown examining the helicopter, designed and built by the aeronautical department in the last six weeks. Kan-san photo by Jack Long.
Engineer Exhibit Opens In Marvin
The Engineering Exposition opened at 10 a.m. today with a few spectators passing through Marvin hall. It will run until 9 p.m. tonight and be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. tomorrow.
A 2-seater Beechcraft Bonanza has been flown in from the Beechcraft Aeronautical corporation in Wichita. The plane landed on the intramural playing field and taxied up the road to Lindley hall. It is on display between Lindley and Marvin.
Another plane was expected early today but because of the muddy
Project To Show 'Olympicville'
The project 30 feet long and 10 feet wide includes a model village dubbed "Olympicville a miniature railroad and highway and various types of concrete and trussed bridges.
A miniature project illustrating the diverse problems encountered in civil engineering has been built to scale for the Engineering Exposition Friday and Saturday.
Scale for the project is one-eighth of an inch to one foot.
Olympicville has its own water treatment plant and sewage disposal units. A miniature dam supplies power and water for the town. As a safety precaution, the students have built a superhighway type intersection at the railroad-highway crossing.
Construction work is also the center of the architectural display. The progressive stages from preliminary blueprints through color studies of both interior and exterior of a model building will be demonstrated by architectural engineering students.
The architects will present an exhibit of freehand sculpture as a sidelight to their main exhibit.

field, there was some doubt whether it would land.
The theme of the exposition is the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of national professional engineering societies in the United States.
Sigma Tau, professional engineering fraternity, will award their silver cup trophy to the most outstanding display of the exposition. The trophy will be presented by Dean T. DeWitt Carr of the School of Engineering, at 3 p.m. Saturday in Marvin hall.
Engines Will Be Shown At Exhibit
Engines powered by steam, diesel oil, gasoline, and one that runs on almost any type of fuel will be displayed by the mechanical engineering department in the Engineering Exposition Friday and Saturday.
The engineers will show the huge Skimmer Unflow steam engine and a slide valve Troy steam engine that powers a secret device called "Gibson's Gidgit."
Besides demonstrating a new Cadillac V8 engine, the engineers will test fuels to determine the effect of high octane in improving the performance of a high compression type engine.
One of the most interesting exhibits is an engine with a pyrex glass plate in the cylinder that allows the spectator to watch the engine operate. A moving cutaway of a modern diesel engine also will be displayed.
The mechanical engineers will invite spectators to participate in the demonstration of time and motion methods used to increase industrial output of workers in modern factories. Tool engineering students will illustrate the design of tools, jigs, and fixtures for high production manufacture.
TRACES PATTERN OF THE SUN—An instrument designed by Prof. George Beal, head of the architecture department, is being displayed on the third floor of Marvin hall as part of the Engineer Exhibition. The instrument is called a heliodon. It is used by architects to trace the pattern of sunlight through a house from sunrise to sunset in matter of seconds.
