Interest In SUA Program Discussed At Conference
Problems concerning the promotion of student enthusiasm in Student Union Activities were discussed Friday and Saturday by SUA representatives at the regional conference of the International Assn. of College Unions at Kansas State College.
It was suggested that a committee be formed to ask students what improvements and additions they thought could be made in the Student Union Activities program. This plan will be considered by the University SUA advisory board.
"The annual IACU conference gives representatives from college unions a chance to exchange ideas on handling Student Union problems," said Dean Graves, Kansas City, Mo., senior and SUA president. "By attending these conferences and listening to students and advisers from other schools, we have been able to gain information for improving the SUA program."
Representing KU at the conference were Frank Burge, Student Union director; Edward Maser,

The first University-organized trip this year for foreign students was held Saturday and Sunday when a group went to Neodesha, a town of 5,000 in southeast Kansas.
30 Students Visit Neodesha
Thirty foreign students were guests in the homes of Neohesa families Saturday night. Many sang songs of their countries while their hosts and hostesses sang American songs. Some were given early Christmas presents. Jorgen Anderson, Norre Snede, Denmark, graduate student, was given a birthday present when he told his host that he was 23 years old Saturday.
Accompanied by Dr. William
Butler, assistant dean of men, the foreign students were guided through the plants of the Standaard Oil Co. Neodesha refinery Saturday afternoon.

What's doing... at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft
THE HOUSE THAT JET ENGINES BUILT
Engineers and scientists at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft developed the piston engines that wrote aviation history for three decades. Then came the jet age, and again it was the P & W A team that came up with the mighty J-57, most powerful production aircraft engine in the world today. Behind such accomplishments, of course, stand many development tools...tools like the house that jet engines built: the Andrew Willgoos Laboratory.
Located on the eastern bank of the Connecticut River in East Hartford, this windowless, thick concrete-walled laboratory has been growing almost continuously since its initial "completion" in 1950. As more powerful, far more advanced turbojet engines are conceived, the means for testing them in development stages must itself undergo carefully calculated alteration. Hence, authorship of today's specifications for Willgoos Laboratory properly belongs to the experimental engines it is testing today. Similarly, tomorrow's proportions, capacities and equipment will depend upon the requirements of tomorrow's power plants.
Behind the ponderous walls of this multi-million-dollar structure lies the wherewithal to simulate many of the rigorous flight conditions to be encountered by military and commercial aircraft. The range of these conditions must vary from ambient pressures and temperatures in a static condition at sea level all the way to the pressures, temperatures and high speeds involved in high-altitude flight.
This, then, is the house that jet engines built; at the same time, it is the house that tomorrow's engines will change and re-build.
