Computer System Aids Research, Instructors
An obscure mathematics computation center in Strong Annex C serves the dual purpose of aiding research and teachers.
The center was built among the many classrooms in Annex C in the spring of 1957.
AEC Gives KU Institute $22,731
The Atomic Energy Commission has entered into a contract for $22,731 with KU to provide the operational costs of a summer institute on Radiation Biology for High School Teachers, June 8- August 1.
The A.E.C. is also lending 20 special teaching kits which KU will in turn lend to teachers successfully completing the summer institute The kits, each valued at over $600 will be used by the teachers in the high school laboratories.
The National Science Foundation is providing $20,000 to cover stipends, allowances for dependents and travel costs for 20 teachers. The A.E.C. is underwriting the cost of faculty and additional laboratory equipment.
The summer institute faculty will include Dr. Gerald E. Cosgrove, a staff member at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and nine members from the KU staff.
Prof. Mills Awarded Grant for Research
A $10,000 National Science Foundation research grant has been awarded Dr. Russell C. Mills, professor of biochemistry and chairman of the biochemistry department.
He will direct a two-year project on enzymes that allow energy to be drawn from food.
It uses an IBM electronic digita computer and supplementary pieces of punched card accessory equipment along with several smaller computers for less important work.
The center will move into new quarters on the first floor of Sumerfield Hall when the new building is ready late this summer.
The huge "electronic brain" is employed to increase the speed of providing numerical answers to research and development problems by adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing almost instantaneously.
At the same time the computing center is used as an aid for courses in mathematics, electrical engineering and advanced accounting.
The center was installed after several directors of research projects at the University had to obtain computation service at a high cost in distant centers. Existing computers owned by the University at that time were too small.
Russell N. Bradt, associate professor of mathematics, currently directs the activities of the computation center.
Wescoe to Leave For Philippines
Dr. W. Clarke Wescoe, dean of the KU Medical School and director of the KU Medical Center, will be a visiting professor of pharmacology at the University of The Philippines School of Medicine this summer. Dr. Wescoe's job is under the auspices of the China Medical Board of New York.
He will leave Kansas City with his family May 15, and will stay five months. He is the only faculty member from KU going to the Philippines.
Dr. Wescoe was in Japan on a shorter trip in 1956, when he served on a team in the teaching of anesthesiology.
