Board Approves Plans For Research Center
The board of directors for the new Center for Research in Engineering Science at the University of Kansas held its first meeting Tuesday and approved preliminary plans for the Center's $200,- 000 building a mile west of the main campus.
It is hoped detailed plans can be ready so bids can be received in September, according to John S. McNown, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture and CRES director.
The eight directors are N. T. Veatch of Kansas City, Mo., and William Muchin of Atchison, from the advisory board of the School of Engineering and Architecture; Charles B. Holmes of Lawrence, from the executive committee of the KU Endowment Assn.; Dr. James O. Maloney, professor and chairman of the chemical engineering department, from the KU faculty, and these ex officio members: Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University; Irvin Youngberg, secretary of the Endowment Assn., and Dean McNown.
The Kansas City firm of Neville, Sharp and Simon is preparing plans for the Center's 13,000 square-foot building, which will be financed by the Endowment Association's income from the Solon E. Summerfield Foundation. The Center for Research in Engineering Science, which will be self-supporting, will be headquarters for nationally known research professors. An initial budget of $50,000 has been discussed.
Hoecker Checks Uranium Blaze
LYNDON, Kan.—(UPI)—A railroad boxcar containing 179 drums of uranium concentrate caught on fire here yesterday and excited this community of some 800 persons with thoughts of radioactive contamination for several hours before the blaze was put out and all danger passed.
Dr. Frank Hoecker, professor of radio biophysics at the University of Kansas, who was flown to the scene, checked the area with sensitive instruments and said there was no evidence that any radiation had escaped.
"I immediately when I got here I determined that there was no contamination outside the drums which contained uranium ore concentrate. The ore is not highly radioactive; therefore, the gamma ray activity was very low. The only danger I foresaw was that one of these drums could break open and contaminate the area.
"I got the call about 9:15 this morning at my home in Lawrence." Dr. Hoecker said, "and immediately asked my brother, Norman, to fly me down here. We came in a two-seated Cessna and the reason I asked him is because he is the only man in the United States I would land with out in this alfalfa field.
"But even that was not too great a danger because of the low radiation content.
"After checking all the possibilities. I directed the railroad officials to tell the Air Force to go ahead and put out the fire, which had burned a gaping hole in the floor of the boxcar. I directed them to put a spray of water on it and tested all the water that came out and found no radiation. Therefore, there was no contamination."
YOUNG MAN WITH A HORN—Steve Brooks, Tarkio, Mo., tries out one of the many instruments on display at the Music and Dramatic Arts Building. The display is part of the first annual Midwestern Music Clinic here.
Music Displays Mark Midwest Clinic at KU
One of the highlights of the first annual Midwestern Music Clinic, which got underway yesterday, is one of the largest arrays of band uniforms, instruments, and published music ever displayed at KU.
Representatives of the entire American music industry, and two representatives from English companies, are displaying their wares in the lobby of the Music and Dramatic Arts Building. Total value of the display is estimated at $150,000.
Russell L. Wiley, director of band and the Music Clinic, said, "It would be worth anybody's time to see this colorful display, representing every phase of the present-day band and orchestra."
The clinic already is considered to be one of the biggest in the United States. Prof. Wiley said he expects the present enrollment of 500 high school and college music directors to double by next year.
"We will cover the whole field of music in this clinic rather than limit it to certain branches," he said.
The clinic, sponsored by the School of Fine Arts and the Music and Art Camp, will feature 19 artists and three conductors as guest clinicians.
The teachers, representing 10 states, have a busy program, including forums, clinics and demonstrations by the artists and directors. The clinic will conclude Monday.
An artist recital will be presented this evening in the University Theatre, It will feature Benar Heifetz,
violencecelo; William Gower, oboe;
Harold Brasch, euphonium; Henri
Temianka, violin; Fred Hemke,
saxophone, and Robert Paoulcuci,
trombone.
The clinic band will join with the band camp and chorus during the Sunday evening concert Sunday (see schedule, Page 1).
The Chicago Symphony Woodwind Quintet will conclude the clinic with a concert at 7:30 p.m. Monday in Hoch Auditorium.
Ancient Greece Film To Be Shown Today
"Ancient World: Greece," a 68-minute color film presenting a pictorial impression of Greece from earliest times to the Golden Age, will be presented at 8 p.m. today at the Outdoor Theater next to Robinson Gymnasium.
The Friday night films are part of the summer recreation program under the directorship of Reginald Strait, associate professor of education and physical education. Preceding the film, a playground is set up to entertain the children.
