Du Pont helps KU programs
By DEBBIE DOUGLASS Staff Reporter
Thanks to a grant from E.I. duPont de Nemours & Co., of Wilmington, Del., KU professional schools will be able to purchase equipment and finance student scholarships and summer grants, Marlin D. Harmony, chairman of the chemistry department, said recently.
Since the beginning of 1982, the Du Pont Co. has given the University $47,000 to support research and application in education and Kansas City, Kan., campuses.
The Kansas University Endowment Association said DuPont gave a Science and Engineering Grant of $34,000 to support KU programs in mechanical engineering, chemical and petroleum engineering, chemistry and SCoRMEBE, the University program for training and training of minority engineers.
"The Du Pont grant is of major importance to us," Harmony said. "It is one of our most sizable industry grants, and without it, we would be in danger."
HARMONY SAID Du Pont gave the
chemistry department $8,000 in unrestricted funds.
The chemical and petroleum engineering department also received $8,000 from Du Pont.
Harold Rosson, professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, said Du Pont had increased its grants to the department by $2,000 each year since
"I wish all of our financial support had increased by that ratio." he said.
Rosson said the department could operate without private support, but it would be much harder.
"Private grants give us some flexibility." he said.
THIS YEAR, the grant money will be used to buy computer terminals, Rosson said, and will also supplement university programs and students to attend national meetings.
The department of mechanical engineering received $6,000 from Du Pont.
"It's the first grant that I know of that we have received from Du Pont," John Crisp, professor of mechanical engineering, said.
DuPont has not been one of the department's main contributors in the past, he said, but, "anything we get from private industry helps."

Crisp said the money might be used to purchase equipment or to help finance student and faculty travel to meetings in their disciplines.
DU PONT also gave an Occupational and Health Grant of $13,000 to support research and teaching in toxicology for the Department of Environmental University of Kansas Medical Center.
"This was one of our most significant grants," Klaassen said.
Curt Klaassen, professor of pharmacology and toxicology, said the grant was the first one Du Pont had given to his department.
Klaassen said the money would help buy chemical supplies and equipment for student research projects. Klaassen determines whether a chemical is safe.

"Without private support and some federal support, training in toxicology would almost be impossible," Klaassen said.
