Engineers study social effects
Socrates, Macbeth, and the Cuban missile crisis are among the topics covered in Technology in Society I—radical new approach to engineering education at KU.
The 1969 Jayhawker Yearbook is now accepting applications for Hilltoppers, Linda McCerrey, Honolulu junior and Jayhawker editor, has announced.
The class, taught by J. O. Maloney, professor of chemical engineering, studies the impact of technological programs on society. It is one of eight courses being developed for the new design-oriented engineering master's and doctor's programs.
Traditional graduate programs are oriented primarily towards careers in research and teaching, he said. The new program trains graduates to deal with finance, management and the impact of technology on society—an area with an ever growing need for trained personnel.
Technology in Society, part of the new program, is an experimental course, Maloney said. It will be modified according to what happens this semester.
Yearbook looks for Hilltoppers
Hilltoppers are outstanding seniors chosen by the Jayhawker to give recognition to their accomplishments and contributions to KU. Any KU senior may apply.
All applicants must submit a typewritten letter of application and two letters of recommendation from faculty or administration members. Applications must include the following:
Name, KU address and living group, hometown address, major and minor subjects, overall and major grade point average, all extracurricular activities during college, offices held in living groups and other organizations, all honors, awards, achievements and scholarships in college, explanation of future plans, and any other pertinent information. Applications must be received by Oct. 11, for the Fall Issue.
Geography grad student
to speak at club meeting
A researcher from the Center for Research in Engineering Science (CRES) will speak to members of the Geography Club at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow in Lindley Hall, room 426.
Tony Lewis, graduate student in geography, has worked with radar and analysis in the field of geo-sciences. His topic will concern "Radar Mapping and Field Work in Darian Province, Panama."
"The discussion class in concerned with the problems and management of large engineering enterprises," he said. "Course work consists of a series of readings, which I have divided into four main areas of study."
The first area of interest examines what happens when an individual gets "crosswise with the establishment," Maloney said. The class will read books about trials of persons who were at odds with the establishment—books such as "Antigone" and "The Crime of Galileo."
"The Pearl Harbor Disaster" and the "Apollo Space Capsule Fire" will be studied in connection with what happens when a series of unlikely events hook together causing a catastrophe, he said.
Later in the semester, Maloney plans to have the class consider what happens when a man decides to worry about the effect of today's actions after they have occurred. They will read "Macbeth" and "Hearings of Electrical Companies," a study of price fixing conspiracies.
The last area probes the reliability of information from news media on major news items, Maloney said. In this area the class will study the Cuban missile crisis.
"A second course in Technology in Society is being worked on now," said Maloney. "We hope it will be available next semester."
Mrs. Docking says campaigners not 'mud slinging'
Gov. *Robert Docking's wife denied yesterday claims that her husband's campaigners had resorted to mud slinging.
She refuted charges made earlier at KU by a Rick Harman associate that "personal smears" were being used against the Docking opponent, and said she didn't think there has been "any name calling yet."
The "personal smear" referred to a speech given in Wichita by a Docking campaigner who allegedly claimed Harman had married the daughter of Myron Green, a large restaurant chain owner.
Although denying the charge of mud slinging, Mrs. Docking said, "He (Harman) did marry Mr. Green's daughter."
Mrs. Docking spoke at a tea in the South Park Recreation Center. The tea, termed non-political by Mrs. James K. Logan, a hostess for the event, was given by friends of the Kansas first lady.
When asked about the outcome of her husband's campaign, Mrs. Docking said she was a "non-predictor."

Project Concern begins fund drive
Project Concern's "Pennies for Meals" will begin Monday in every organized living group on campus, Dave Keesling, Herington senior, said yesterday.
Keesling, national chairman of Collegiates for Concern, said this is one way KU students can feel "personal involvement" with the problems of underprivileged people.
Each student will be asked to
give 1 cent per meal as a "token" for the underprivileged of the world. Three cents per day or 42 cents over the two week period will provide a child in Hong Kong or Vietnam with medical care and enough nourishment to avoid malnutrition for more than a month, Keesling said.
Keesing then pointed to a statement by Dr. James Turpin,
founder of Project Concern, as expressing the sentiments of this project: "I am not free until you are free; I am not well fed until you are fed; I am not intelligent until you are educated; and I am not rich until you have enough."
Keesling added, "We at KU get so wrapped up in our lives, going to classes, studying, drinking, partying and being cool, that we sometimes fail to realize the more important things in life.
This lean, lithe Honda 125 Super Sport can be the answer to a lot of problems besides parking.
Consider price. You can buy this beauty at an impressively low initial price; fuel it for a fraction of what you'd spend on a four-wheel gas gulper. And, of course, there are the pleasantly painless costs of maintaining and insuring a Honda.
The 125 Super Sport couples lightweight economy with red hot performance features. Its dependable four-stroke parallel twin engine produces a dazzling 13 bhp; acceleration that matches the best of them.
And styling.The 125 Super Sport is nothing but class from its streamlined pipes to its sculptured tank to its rugged telescopic front forks. The sleek and sassy 125 Super Sport. Is there a better way to solve
your problems?
