AEC Renews KU Research Contract
Practical nuclear energy power systems may be a step closer as the result of study being done at KU under the terms of a contract from the Atomic Energy Commission.
KU and the Atomic Energy Commission have renewed their contract, begun in 1950, for another year. The AEC will provide $55,600 for the high temperature research being done under the direction of Dr. Paul W. Gilles, associate professor of chemistry.
A new feature of the contract is the provision for a postdoctoral research associate for the project. Dr. Harry A. Eick, a 1956 graduate of the University of Iowa now teaching at the University of Kentucky, will begin work here this summer.
New Apparatus
A new X-ray diffraction apparatus, costing approximately $20,000 is the major equipment provided for by the AEC renewal. The new machine will enable the KU scientists to identify compounds they prepare and to establish their structures.
A phase of the project which is nearly completed is a study of the evaporation properties of boron carbide. Harry E. Robson, Lawrence graduate student is studying the compound, the third hardest material known.
High temperatures have been used for centuries, Dr. Gilles said, but only for the past 20 years have they been studied in a scientific fashion. The high temperature field is a rapidly growing one.
As an indication of the growth, he cited the large number of symposia conducted since 1950 on the subject. One such symposium will be the session to be conducted by Dr. Gilles at the Gordon Research
Conference, August 19-23, in New Hampton, N. H.
Graduate Students
Working under the guidance of Dr. Gilles are these graduate students: Robson, Donald D. Jackson. South Bend, Ind.; K. Douglas Carlson, Redlands, Calif.; Ernest R. Plante, Hinesburg, Vt.; E. David Cater, San Antonio, Texas; Warren A. Knarr, Parsons; James M. Leitmann, Baldwin; and Stanley Killingbeck, Blackburn, England. All are graduate students.
Council Positions Open For Engineers
Students interested in positions on the 1957-58 Engineering Council should submit petitions at 111 Marvin before Tuesday.
Positions open are president, vice president, secretary-treasurer, and senior, junior and sophomore representatives.
Students applying for office of president, vice president, or secretary-treasurer should submit a petition containing at least 50 names of students from the School of Engineering and Architecture.
Those applying for representative of their class should submit petitions with names of 25 students from their class in the School of Engineering and Architecture.
Department representatives will be selected within the department. Elections will be Friday, May 17, and polling places will be located in Lindley and Fraser halls.
Alumni Assn. Meet June 1-2
New officers for the Alumni Assn. will be introduced at the annual business meeting June 2 in the Jayhawk Room of the Student Union.
The constitutional changes regarding alumni dues and administration of life memberships and methods of electing alumni officers will be voted on. Alumni receiving distinguished service awards will be honored.
The Modern Choir of the late 1930's, directed by Ross Robertson of the class of '37, will sing. More than 24 members of the choir will return, one from as far away as Mexico City.
Haskell Institute will sponsor an amateur rodeo Sunday with entries expected from several states and several different Indian tribes.
The choir also will sing at the welcoming dinner June 1. Bob Ellsworth, Lawrence attorney, will be toastmaster at the dinner. Four faculty members will give their observations and reflections on KU. They are Mary E. Larson, assistant professor of zoology; Frank L. Brown, professor of applied mechanics; Jan Chiapusso, professor of piano, and John W. Twente, professor of education.
The rodeo will start at 1:30 p.m. and will be held one-half mile south of Haskell Institute.
Haskell Rodeo Set For Sunday
There will be a parade Saturday through the business district of Lawrence and a queen from Haskell Institute will be crowned at the rodeo.
The first fraternity in the United States was formed Dec. 5, 1776, at the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Va.
Editor-in-chief for this year was John Jurcek, Kansas City, Kan. third-year law. The Law Review is issued four times a year.
Dr. John W. Gowen, chairman of the department of genetics at Iowa State University, will give a public lecture at 4 p.m. Monday in 101 Snow Hall.
To Talk On Effects Of Irradiating Mice
Dr. Gowen's subject will be "Consequences to the Lives of Mice Following High Energy Irradiation." The lecture will be based on his recent studies of the effects of radiation on life span and inheritance and studies of the effects of atomic fallout.
Dr. Gowen has done genetic research on organisms from virus to man, and on the inheritance factors of men, plants, mice and chickens. His primary field has been fundamental problems of theoretical genetics. He will also give a lecture Monday evening for persons especially interested in genetics. His subject will be "Expanding Information on the Sex-Determining Mechanisms in Drosophila."
Heywood H. Davis, Lawrence second-year law student, was elected editor-in-chief of the Kansas Law Review for 1957-58 at a meeting Thursday of the Law Review staff.
The fourth edition of the 1956-57 Law Review, volume V in the series begun in 1952, will be published May 20. The edition features a symposium of water law, including information presented at the KU Water Law Conference March 20 and 21.
