Engineering Exposition Grew After Big Egg Fight Of 1922
By CHARLES ZUEGNER
Fourteen years before the first Engineering Exposition in 1923, the men of Marvin hall celebrated an annual Engineers' day, and used it as a one-day vacation for senior engineering students.
Engineers day grew into a pageant of considerable extent until 1922 when the parade of floats constructed by the engineers was as sabotaged. Suspects of others in law school as the culprits, the engineers gathered all the available eggs and turned Green hall into a legal omelette.
Chancellor Lindley promptly abolished Engineers' day, but the following year, P. R. Walker, dean of the School of Engineering, proposed that the engineers' activities be directed into more useful and constructive channels. The chancellor approved the plan, and the following year the Engineering Exposition came into its own.
The mining engineers opened the 1924 exposition with a model oil drilling rig boring through rock. Mechanical engineering stole the show from a mock dogfight by Fort Riley flyers the following year by doling out free ice cream from the refrigeration exhibit.
At that time it was decided to hold the exposition at 2-year inter-
vals because students were not spending enough time with their school work.
In 1931 a miniature volcano that erupted at 10-minute intervals was constructed jointly by the mining and geological engineering departments. A replica of Boulder dam was erected by the civil engineers in 1934 and visited by a record 3,000 persons.
World War II interrupted subsequent expositions until the revival in them. They have been held annually since they grew bigger and better every year.
From its meager beginning, the
Two-Piano Recital Set For March 24
Miss Marian Jersil, instructor of piano, and Miss Katharine Mulky, assistant professor of music theory, will give a two-piano recital at 8 p.m. Monday, March 24, in Strong auditorium.
Miss Mulky is a graduate of Mills college where she won first prize in composition for two successive years. She was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.
Her graduate work was done at the Juillard School of Music where she majored in composition as a student of Bernard Wagenar. Her compositions have received many performances including the perforated music from the moods played by Miss Jersild in a recital at Kimball Hall, Chicago.
Miss Jersilis has been a pupil of Rudolph Ganz and Carl Friedberg. She has the bachelor of music and master of music degrees from Chicago Musical college. She also attended the University of Southern California.
Twice she won the Mu Phi Epsilon, professional music sorority, scholarship, once in Los Angeles and twice in Chicago. She also won the Philruth prize, the Chicago Young scholarship, and the American Conservatory commencement contest.
She has been the accompanist for noted artists including Roman Totenberg, violinist, and Maurice Eisenberg, cellist, and has appeared in Kansas City in a Sonata recital with Joseph Rosenstein. Miss Jersild is now organist at the Trinity Lutheran church in Lawrence.
exhibit now numbers upwards of 20,000 annual visitors. It has displayed such things as a kiss-O-meter, a smoke eater, model flying saucers, and floating concrete. Plenty of mechanical miracles are in store for this year's show, according to Gene Rogers, engineering junior, publicity chairman of the exposition.
The various departments work feverishly on their exhibits in hopes of capturing the traveling Sigma Tau trophy. Lambda chapter of Sigma Tau, the National Honorary Engineering fraternity, presents the award each year to the department where it is played. It becomes the permanent possession of consecutive three-time winners.
The purpose of the Engineering Exposition is to relate scientific principles and recent scientific developments in terms the laymen can understand. Its success is reflected in the popularity of the event and the enthusiasm which it receives from faculty, students, and visitors.
Last year the aeronautical engineers won the trophy. The most consistent winners have been the electrical and architectural engineers.
Men wishing to live in scholarship halls during the 1952-53 school year should file applications in the dean of men's office before May 1, Donald K. Alderson, assistant dean of men, announced today.
Scholarships to Jollife, Battenfield, and newly constructed Stephenson and Pearson halls are available.
Scholarship Halls Available For Men
Each dormitory has facilities for 52 men who cut down living expenses by doing their own work. A residence hall scholarship is worth about $300 in saved expenses.
Stephenson hall was occupied last February, but Pearson hall is still under construction. The men now living in Sterling and Oliver halls will move into the new building as soon as it is completed, Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of men said.
Approximately 150 seniors had not selected their proofs at Hixon's Wednesday. The Jayhawker staff urges anyone who has neglected to make the choice to do so immediately in order to have their picture in the senior section of the 1951-52 Jayhawker.
