Democracy Today, a new lecture and forum course, held its second meeting this afternoon. The course, offered this semester for the first time by the political science department, consists of a Lecture on Tuesdays and a discussion period on Thursdays. The class meets at 2 p.m.

The course has a different lecturer each week and the class periods are alternately lecture and discussion. It is designed to give students an insight into problems facing democratic government today.
Students not enrolled in the course may attend both lectures and discussions if they desire.
The moderator of today's discussion was Hilden Gibson, professor of political science and human relations. John B. George of the Institute of International Education was the guest speaker.
"Usually such courses consist entirely of lectures," Mr. Gibson said. "However the department felt that such a class did not fill the bill. There is a need, not only for an intellectual understanding of democracy, but for a commitment to democracy, which a student must achieve by himself. We feel that the combination of a lecture and a sum best fills this need."
Rules For Parking Made Available
If you ride a motorcycle to school, park it behind Bailey Chemical laboratories.
That's one of the rules in the booklet outlining the traffic rules and parking regulations for the University. The booklet is available at the traffic office in Robinson
The booklets offer a quick way to get acquainted with the traffic rules and regulations. Some least known rules are important.
A student who feels that he hasn't been treated fairly may appeal his ticket to the student court, if he makes his appeal within 10 days after the time the ticket was issued. A student with an unpaid fine will not be allowed to enroll the following semester.
The campus police are authorized remove a car from the street if it is parked in violation of an ordinance. The driver will have to pay any storage charges which are assessed.
Parking permits are issued by the traffic department for parking in the various zones on the campus. There are 13 zones, but each permit is good only in the zone for which it was issued.
Don't Delay
Any Longer . . .
Space is still available on several good travel plans to Europe for summer vacation.
But record advanced bookings for trans-Atlantic transportation is completely filling all air and ship tours. Don't delay your reservations any longer. See Downs today for your trip arrangements. No service charge. No booking fee.
W. E. Sandelius, professor of political science, began the series of lectures Feb. 5. Eldon Fields associate professor of political science, will speak Tuesday, Feb. 19, and E. O. Stene, professor of political science, will speak Tuesday, March 4.
Other speakers will be Albert Ravenholt, former war correspondent now with the Institute of Current World Affairs; Leland Pritchard, professor of economics; A. H. Turney, professor of education; John Ise, professor of economics; Edward Grier, assistant professor of English; Rhoten Smith, instructor of political science; and Herman B. Chishin professor of political science
In addition to these speakers, there will be several visiting lecturers and foreign students of the University who will speak to the class.
Ten Musicians Attend Meeting
The convention of the Kansas Music Teachers association at Lindsborg Monday and Tuesday was attended by several members of the University faculty.
Among those attending were: Gerald Carney, associate professor of music education, who is president of the association; Dean Thomas Gorton of the School of Fine Arts, a member of the board of directors; Dr. Donald M. Swarthout, professor of piano, chairman of the piano forum, and Marcus Hahn, instructor in music education, who will act as chairman of the woodwind and brass panel.
Other faculty members attending include; Dr. E. Thayer Gaston, chairman of the department of music education; Professors Joseph F. Wilkins and Reinhold Schmidt of the department of voice; Professor L. E. Anderson, of the department of organ and theory; Mrs. Janet Turk, instructor of piano, and Raymond Zepp, instructor of wood-winds.
One Dollar Goes A Long Way As Heart Fund Contribution
If you have wondered where the money goes that is contributed to a Heart fund, here is a breakdown on how one donated dollar is utilized.
The American Heart association gets 25 cents as its share. Of this, 12 and one-half cents is pledged to research. The other 12 and one-half cents is used for publications, administration, and so forth.
The Kansas Heart association, whose headquarters is in Topeka, retains 75 cents. Part of this amount is used by the Kansas Heart and Emporia Regional Heart associations to maintain a special clinic in Emporia.
The money is also used to purchase films and other educational aids for the use of any Kansan, to bring to the doctors information on the latest practices in heart disease control, to help the public learn more about "living with its heart" through the distribution of educational materials and to co-operate with other agencies in helping improve the general health of Kansas. When you give to the Heart fund you help your nation, your state, your community, your neighbor and yourself.

Ch.E's at Du Pont
The fields of research and development invite ingenuity of the chemical engineer
Research and development work in chemical engineering often overlap at Du Pont, except where the research is fundamental.
The chemical engineer occupied with fundamental research is chiefly concerned with basic studies of unit operations and processes involving reaction kinetics, thermodynamic properties of fluids, high-pressure techniques, equilibrium studies, heat transfer and the like. Such studies often lead to lower-cost manufacturing processes. Some recent projects in fundamental research have been:
Apart from the chemical engineers engaged in fundamental research,
2. Studies of the fundamental transfer relations between phases, for instance, gas and liquid, in reacting materials.
1. A study of fluidized catalyst reaction units including degree of fluidation, temperature uniformity, catalyst activity and life, and conversion of feed gases.
there are many groups working in applied research and development. In fact, this is the major part of the chemical engineering work done at Du Pont. Here are examples of the literally hundreds of unusual problems they have solved:
2. Developing a high-pressure liquid-phase process to replace the standard dry method of producing sodium azide formerly employed.
1. Designing equipment for producing pure silicon at 1000 $ ^{\circ} \mathrm{C} $ . (Though one of the starting compounds is highly corrosive, only spectroscopic traces of impurities can be tolerated.)
These examples can only hint the variety and originality of problems
4. Developing, from laboratory research results, a process for large-scale production of complex polymeric materials used in the manufacture of color photographic film.
3. Designing a continuous flow, gasliquid reactor for use in making a fiber intermediate under pressure.

constantly arising at Du Pont. They indicate the challenge as well as the broad opportunity awaiting the talents and ingenuity of the young chemical engineer who wants a career in research and development.
NEXT MONTH — The chemical engineer's role in plant operation at Du Pont will be discussed in the third article in this series. Watch for it!
