KU gets new microscope
The University of Kansas will install a new scanning electron microscope on the Lawrence campus in December, according to Paul R. Burton, professor of physiology
The scanning microscope, Burton said, is different from the four other electron microscopes.
“There are two kinds of electron microscopes,” he said. “One kind is the transmission microscope, which allows you to see inside things at a very high magnification and with very high resolution.
"The other kind is the scanning microscope. In this, the specimen is coated with a heavy metal. This heavy metal gives off electrons and an electron beam. The result is an image on a TV screen that is to the topography of the specimen."
The heavy metal coating on the specimen acts as a reflector and produces a contrast between the specimen and the surrounding surface.
BURTON SAID the scanning electron microscope produced a three-dimensional effect and displayed a wealth of detail in the surface of the specimens.
Burton said the grant was given with the idea that the scanning electron microscope
"The scanning microscope uses electrons in the same way we visualize things with photos."
Plans for center to be discussed at open hearing
Lawrence citizens will present their ideas to the architects of a new East Lawrence Center at 7 tonight in the present East Lawrence Center, 10th and Delaware Avenue
The architectural firm of Midgley, Shaughnessy, Fickel and Scott, Kansas City, Mo., has been selected by the Lawrence City Commission to design the new building. About $250,000 in community funding is available for the design and construction.
Although the entire public is invited, the meeting primarily will be of concern to the East Lawrence Improvement Association and the East Lawrence Improvement Association.
Buford Watson, city manager, said yesterday that the city had made several site suggestions for the new center but that the plan was based on feedback from the meeting before choosing a location.
would be a multipurpose instrument. Researchers from the biological and pharmaceutical sciences all will be able to use it.
*Graduate students will get to use it, and also use it for demonstration purpose.*
Burton said the microscope temporarily would be kept in Snow Hall until room was made for it in McCollum Laboratory on the West Campus.
"THE SCANNING electron microscope will be placed over there with the University's transmission electron microscope. We will then have an integrated electron microscope facility that can be used by a number of people," he said.
Burton said investigators would be required to nominal fee to maintain the instruments.
The scanning electron microscope will be important in research at KU, he said.
"The difference is like seeing the moon from our vantage point on earth and actually stepping on the moon and seeing its surface in detail," he said.
Burton said the scanning electron microscope usually enlarges a microchip up to 200,000 square feet.
"There's a real aesthetic pleasure because you see so many different structures," he said. "It's a window to another world."

Danforth positions open
Nominations of faculty members for the Danforth Foundation Associate Program, which recognizes effective teaching, are being accepted.
Nominations, which must be received by the foundation by Dec. 1, may be made by any member of the academic community, according to a program secretary.
Persons eligible to become associates of the program, founded in 1941, must be faculty members at accredited institutions or have an interest in teaching undergraduate students.
Appointments are made for six-year
terms. Associates and their spouses are
invited to three regional conferences, where
their work is provided by the
Longford Foundation.
Members may remain associates during their academic lives and may attend conferences at their own expense after the six-year term expires.
THE SECRETARY said spouses also were invited because the associate program addressed the personal dimension of education and the families of the faculty members often entered the campus in various ways.
Faculty members' spouses are not automatically members, she said, but are
Associates are eligible to apply for grant funds of up to $2,000 to assist in campus activities for projects related to improving the quality of teaching and learning.
A liaison officer and an advisory committee in each of 16 regions in the United States assist in informing faculty about the program. A national advisory council recommends the appointment of about 550 new associates each year.
THE 13 Danforth Associates from the University of Kansas are James Drury, and the University of Florida are Jason Johnson.
Friesen, professor of radiation biophysics;
Donald Green, professor of chemical and petroleum engineering; Kenneth Lenzen,
professor of engineering; Bruce Linton,
professor of engineering; Michael Masston, associate professor of English;
Russell Mesier, professor of chemical and petroleum engineering; James Moeser,
professor of performance; Kernie Rose, professor of performance; Jonathan Elizabeth Schultz, associate professor of English; Robert Shelton, associate professor of religion, speech and drama;
Geoffrey Steere, associate professor of American studies; and Norman Yetman,
professor of American studies and sociology.
Further information and nomination forms are available from the Danforth Associate Program, the Danforth Foundation, 22 S. Central Ave., St. Louis, Mo. 63016.
The motion would have established a minimum college-wide prerequisite for all advanced courses. Courses numbered 300 or above would have been open only to students who had junior standing, had passed two distribution courses in that department or had the instructor's permission.
Prerequisites repudiated by Assembly
The assembly became interested in the issue last year when the department of anthropology eliminated prerequisites for its upper level courses.
A motion to institute prerequisites for all upper division courses in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences was rejected yesterday by the College Assembly.
Doug Ferme, Shawnee Mission sophomore, read a list of disadvantages from a College Assembly student newsletter and said the main flaw in the motion was that individual departments knew best what the prerequisites for a course should be.
