Network Director Named
Monte Moore, sports director of radio station KWHK in Hutchinson the past two years, has been appointed director of the KU Sports Network and instructor in the radiotelevision curriculum, the chancellor's office announced today.
Moore, who will handle all administrative and production details for the network as well as do the play-by-play broadcasts of KU football and basketball games, is the first full-time network director since 1954, when Merle Harmon resigned. Since then the administrative and play-by-play duties have been divided.
received the A. B. degree, with a radio-speech major, from the University of Oklahoma in 1952. He served two years in the Psychological Warfare section of the U. S. Army, leaving the service as a first lieutenant. In 1954 he became sports director of radio station KSWO in Lawton, Okla., and then went to Hutchinson. There he has handled broadcasts of the National Junior College basketball tournament and originated for his station numerous Big Seven athletic events, and was president of the Hutchinson Quartier-back Club.
A native of Hollis, Okla., Moore
Moore will also produce the week-
ly Javhawk Lockerroom programs.
Dormitory Contracts To Be Recommended
The award of construction contracts totaling $1,383,110.29 for Joseph R. Pearson Hall at KU will be recommended to the Board of Regents by Joseph J. Wilson, director of dormitories at KU.
Apparent low bidders for the 6-story project, to be located along West Campus Road north of Carruth Hall, are B. A. Green Construction Co., Lawrence, general contractor; Tucker Electric Co., Topeka, electrical work; Brune Plumbing, Heating & Electric Co., Lawrence, plumbing and heating work.
Furnishings, equipment and other expenses would bring the cost of the 412-man dormitory to $1,586,110.29. Wilson said.
Gifts totaling $247,100 from Mrs. Joseph R. Pearson of Corsicana, Tex., will help finance the hall, which memorializes her late husband. Mr. Pearson, who died in 1955, and Mrs. Pearson previously had been instrumental in making possible two dormitories for women and two scholarship halls for men and women.
The Housing and Home Finance Agency will make a 40-year loan of $710,000 at 2% percent interest. Another $432,000 will be sought for KU's share of the state i-mill student housing fund levy. Of the latter, $357,S34 already has been allocated to KU on the basis of full-time enrolments in the state institutions of higher education, and $75,000 will be sought from KU's share pavable at the end of 1957.
In appearance and construction Joseph R. Pearson will resemble the existing Carruth and O'Leary Halls, but will be twice as large.
The hall will be of concrete frame with buff brick exterior, with basement and six floors extending north-south. The basement will have a central kitchen for cafeteria type serving with dining halls in the north and south basements. The main floor will have the central lounge. Each upper floor will have a recreation room dividing the north and south wings. There will be 2-man rooms, with lightweight cinder block walls.
Construction of the new dormitory will begin in about a month with expected completion one and a half years away.
When occupied in 1958, Joseph R. Pearson Hall will more than double KU's dormitory capacity for men.
Funeral Rites Held For Hedrick
By JOHN HUSAR
Funeral services for Robert M. Hedrick, 24, who was found dead Monday on the KU Natural History Reservation four miles northeast of Lawrence, were held Thursday at South St. Paul, Minn., his hometown.
A coroner's jury Tuesday night said the death was "accidental—cause unknown."
Hedrick was living on the reservation at the home of Dr. Henry S. Fitch, associate professor of zoology, who was on a two-week vacation. Apparently dead for a long time, the partially-decomposed body was discovered by Dr. Fitch, upon his return, on a rocky hillside in the southeast section of the reservation. The lower third of his left arm was missing, apparently chewed off by an animal.
Two possible causes of death have been listed. According to the personal opinion of Dr. Byron W. Walters, County Douglas Coroner, Hedrick's death was due to snake or insect-bite. Dr. Fitch and Dr. E. R.
An entry in a notebook found some thirty feet above the body showed Hedrick possibly died on June 27. Hedrick was known to be in the field doing research at times up to a week, but a search party was not started until July 8, eleven days after the supposed date of death.
Dr. Fitch said, "I feel that Hedrick slipped on the muddy hilltop and rolled down, meanwhile hitting his head on a sharp rock making him unconscious." But an inspection of the body by Coroner Walters showed no trace of a skull fracture, or any other fracture, save that of the arm.
Hall, professor of zoology, attribute the death to a fall, resulting in a compound fracture of the arm and subsequent bleeding to death.
According to a statement issued by Dr. Hall, head of the department of Zoology, Dr. Hall surmised, "Hedrick fell or rolled down a rocky slope. He removed his belt to make a loop, thus freeing his belt knife and canteen.
The only poisonous snakes on the area are the timber rattlesnake and the copperhead. I know of no instance of a healthy, grown person dying from the bite of a copperhead. The bite of a timber rattlesnake is more serious but that species is rare on the area. Even its bite would allow a bitten person time to reach the headquarters building, where Hedrick knew antivenom was available.
"The mutilated left arm of Mr. Hedrick is evidence of a fall into the rocks of the slope where the body lay. I think he tripped over a root at the top of the path. He made a loop in his belt, probably
to support his left arm or to stanch the flow of blood from the arm. It is likely that his death was due to loss of blood and other effects of a fall."
On the other hand, Coroner Walters, who has been practicing medicine for 22 years, said that a snake-bite can be immediately fatal in two ways: (1) if the venom gets into the bloodstream, and (2) an anaphylactoid reaction. An anaphylactoid reaction is a sensitivity reaction to foreign particles in the circulatory system. It causes loss of blood pressure and heartbeat.
He said, "Hedrick's belt was formed into a tourniquet but was underneath the body. This shows that he became unconscious and rolled down the hill before he had a chance to apply the tourniquet.
"I feel," Walters went on, "that the arm was chewed off by an animal such as a coyote. It must have occurred after death and coagulation, for there were no traces of blood to be found on the scene.
Hedrick was gathering research material on the worm snake and the ring neck snake. Both are nonpoisonous.
"Blood is of a nature that is hard to wash away. If blood has been let, traces of it can easily be found for a long time."
Science Camp Extension Is Considered
The two-week camp (June 16-28) enrolled 78 high school students from six states. This was nearly half again as many as attended the first camp in 1956.
The ultimate yardstick of success will be the production of scientists ten years hence, but for the immediate future the prescription for the KU summer Science and Mathematics Camp is "more and more."
"The number of qualified applicants we had to refuse admission coupled with the responses from the campers indicate the duration of the camp period should be extended," said Dr. David Paretsky, camp director and chairman of the bacteriology department.
Increasing the camp to three weeks and scheduling of two sessions will be considered for next year.
"We can accommodate more prospective scientists only by extending the camp." Dr. Paretsky said. "Otherwise we would lose the small groups to which the faculty can give individual attention."
Twelve outstanding campers of 1956 are now at KU for 4-week research assistantships with faculty members. For this they receive their room and board.
Orientation in Many Areas
Dr. C. H. Phoenix, assistant professor of psychology, is associate camp director.
The campers had a full two-week schedule getting orientation from KU faculty in 15 areas of science: anatomy, astronomy, bacteriology, biochemistry, botany, chemistry, entomology, geography, geology, mathematics, physics, physiology, psychology, radiation biophysics and zoology. Laboratory work and field trips supplemented lectures.
The aim of the program is to expose talented high school students to a wide variety of scientific fields without special emphasis on any one, and to encourage their interest in science as a career.
Science campers lived in KU dormitories and ate at the Memorial Union with other high school students attending the Midwestern Music and Art Camp.
University Theatre Play Is A Sellout
The University Theatre's summer production, "Come Back, Little Sheba," opened to a sell-out crowd Thursday night in the Student Union Ballroom. Directed by Dr. Lewin Goff, associate professor of speech and drama and director of the University Theatre, the play, which recently returned from a stand at the Park Playhouse in Joplin, Mo. will be presented again tonight at 7:30 p.m.
