First Preview Session Draws Large Turnout Chemistry Pair Receives Grant Two professors of chemistry at the University of Kansas have been awarded renewal of an Atomic Energy Commission contract for research on "Metal Effects in Reactions of Metal-Cyclopentadienyl Compounds." More than 200 students planning to enter the University as freshmen this fall will complete a two-day orientation session on the campus today. The preview this week is the first of six such sessions allowing the entering students to get a head start in the entering process. During the two-day period the students have been taking placement examinations and those who so desired have been taking qualifying examinations in language, biology or chemistry. William E. McEwen and Jacob Klienberg have been awarded $10,150 in new funds from the American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund for the fourth year. An attempt is made to limit each preview group to 200 students, although that total is sometimes exceeded. For the first session 208 students had pre-registered. The program is designed to acquaint the new student with the campus and to administer these examinations. The preliminary orientation does not include all the events of the fall orientation week, but does reduce that hectic load somewhat. Yesterday morning students were given placement examinations. In the afternoon they met with representatives of the school in which they plan to enroll in the fall. Last night the students attended a preview dinner in the Kansas Union. Students also met with the deans of men and women in a residence hall session. Also made available are individual interviews with staff and faculty members to discuss employment, financial assistance, housing or other phases of university life. The second placement examinations are being given today. Prospective women students are housed in Miller and Watkins residence halls during the previews and the men in Stephenson and Pearson halls. The contract is awarded from Sept. 1, 1960, until Aug. 31, 1961. Weather Considerable cloudiness today with occasional showers or thunderstorms west and central portions. Warmer today. High 85 to 90. The remaining sessions of the previews will be held on Mondays and Tuesdays of the next three weeks and Thursdays and Fridays of the next two weeks. Three Groups Set Sessions for KU Three major workshops or institutes open on the University campus next week as a part of the vast University Extension program. The third annual Management Development Program for Independent Telephone Executives begins Sunday and runs through Aug. 5. Representatives from 22 states and from Puerto Rico and Chile are expected to attend the four-week session. Directing the program are Dean James R. Surface of the School of Business and Richard H. Lashley, assistant professor of business administration. KU faculty members assisting in the program include Edward G. Nelson, professor of economics and business administration; Frank S. Pinet, assistant professor of business administration, and Charles B. Saunders, associate professor of business administration. The United Steelworkers of America will hold its 14th annual regional summer institute, also beginning Sunday. The session winds up next Friday. Staff members will be from both the union and KU. A workshop for county welfare directors and staff will open Wednesday stressing "The Public Welfare Agency's Responsibility to the Community." The featured speaker at the workshop banquet Wednesday night will be Jay L. Roney, director of the Public Welfare Project on Aging, of the American Public Welfare Association in Chicago. The workshop is sponsored by the State Welfare Department in cooperation with University Extension. Junior Receives $160 McManis Scholarship Carolyn Jo Stotts, Havensville junior, has been selected as the recipient of the J. E. McManis Memorial Scholarship for the 1960-61 academic year. The $150 award is given annually from income from a fund created with the KU Endowment Assn., in memory of Dr. McManis who received the degree doctor of medicine from KU in 1902. TAKE THAT—Disarming a suspect by use of judo tactics is just one of many facets of training Richard Dunbar (left) of Winfield and Terry Cupps of Wichita must undergo before they can join the Kansas Highway Patrol as troopers. They are attending the recruit training program currently in progress on the campus. Large Contract Awarded to KU The U. S. Public Health Service has announced the award of a one-year $400,000 contract to the University Medical Center to develop agents to detect and identify viruses that may cause cancer in human beings. The contract is part of the National Cancer Institute's expanding virus-cancer research program. More than 100 grants have been made to institutions for work in this aspect of cancer research in addition to numerous studies at the Institute's laboratories in Bethesda, Md. Virus infection has already been established as the cause of many types of cancer in laboratory animals. Scientists have not yet established whether viruses produce cancer in humans though viruses have been found in malignant tissue removed from cancer patients. Under the one-year contract with the University, Dr. Herbert A. Wenner will undertake to develop virus detection agents by producing large quantities of antisera against 60 common human viruses found in the digestive tract. Anisera are produced by a complicated process involving injection of pure virus solution into monkeys. Pardon Given Following Story A Michigan man convicted of second-degree murder was granted a full pardon by Gov. G. Mennen Williams recently following a story in the Detroit Free Press written by Jim Robinson, a graduate of the William Allen White School of Journalism at KU. Robinson, a member of the class of 1949, was pulled off his regular state legislature beat last March to investigate an anonymous tip on the innocence of the condemned man. The new assignment was intended as a break in routine for him. The 35-year-old handyman immediately began digging into the 6-year-old case of Walter A. Pecho, convicted of slaving his wife in June, 1954, although he continued to protest his innocence. The prosecution's case apparently had rested on testimony that Pecho's wife, Eleanor, could not have pulled the trigger on the 20-guage shotgun used in the shooting. Suicide was the main line of defense for Pecho. But Robinson, in addition to digging up evidence that had not been uncovered at the trial, got other expert opinion to the fact that suicide not only was possible, but highly probable. Pecho walked free after five years and seven months in prison.
