12 Engineers To Be Initiated
Friday, Dec. 7, 1986
The fall initiation banquet of Pi Tau Sigma, national honorary mechanical engineering fraternity, will be held today in the English Room of the Student Union. Twelve students will be initiated.
Paul E. Wilson, Kansas City, Mo. senior, will be given an award for outstanding excellence in undergraduate machine design.
James B. Tiedemann, assistant professor of aeronautical engineering, will give a talk, "The Earth Satellite and You."
Those to be initiated are Gerald Bennett, Kansas City, Mo.; Kenneth Miller, Overland Park; Richard Moore, McAllen, Tex.; Neil Nelson, Shawnee; Jose Finecones, Caracas, Venezuela; Doug Wallace, Lawrence; Maurice Wildin, Hutchinson, seniors; Porter Clark, Independence; Frank Freudenthal, Overland Park; Norman Imel, Bucklin; Dan Kratzer, Kansas City, Kan. and Harold Rock, Hope, juniors.
"Women enrolled in engineering are more technically minded than the average woman," according to Fred Kurata, professor of chemical engineering.
"Those enrolled in engineering have done quite well in science and mathematics in high school and that is the reason they enter the field," he said.
Women Engineers — There's ADemand For These Students
"There is opportunity for women in engineering and there is always a demand, especially in these days of personnel shortage
Shirley Lynn To Give Piano Recital
Shirley Lynn, Lawrence senior, will give a senior piano recital at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Strong Auditorium. Mrs. Lynn is a pupil of Jan Chiapusso, professor of piano. She also studies with Guy Criss Simpson, associate professor of organ.
Cows Eat It
The recital is open to the public without charge.
Strontium 90-KU Scientists Are Studying It's Effects
"There has definitely been no observable physiological damage to persons drinking milk in which the strontium 90 content has risen." Frank E. Hoecker, professor of physics, said today.
Atomic Energy Commission officials said recently that New York city's milk supply showed a "sharp increase" in "most hazardous" strontium 90, an element produced in connection with atomic fission.
Many newspapers and magazines carried the report in a sensational manner, but, according to Prof. Hoecker, scientists have not yet determined how much stromtium 90 in the milk supply will cause bone cancer.
Strontium 90 falls to the ground as fall-out after an atom bomb explosion. Cows eat vegetation and strontium 90, which is similar to calcium.
"We are now conducting strontium 90 experiments with animals," Prof. Hoecker said.
Injections of strontium 90 in experimental animals has caused physiological illness and cancer of the bone, but, Prof. Hoecker said, no one knows what its effect in the human body would be. There have not been enough experiments to determine its effects.
He said it is already known
Firms Schedule Job Interviews
Engineering interviews will be conducted in III Marvin next week. Students who wish to be interviewed must sign interview schedules in III Marvin.
Monday United States Steel Corp., E. I. du Pont de Nemours Co., B. F. Goodrich Chemical Co.
Tuesday — E. I. du Pont de Némours Co., Arma Division of American Boseh Arma Corp., Sperry Electronic Tube Division of Sperry Rand Corp.
Wednesday — Wright Air Development, Wright-Patterson, Ohio; Mason and Hanger, Silas Mason Co.; Department of Interior, Bureau of Reclamation.
Thursday -- Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Co., Chrysler Corp. all divisions.
Friday — North American Aviation, Columbus, Ohio; Wabash Railroad, Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Co., Talon, Inc., Armco Drainage and Metal Products.
The Service Must Be Good
SAN DIEGO — (UP) — A Woman coffee shop owner received yesterday what she called a "little tip." Gerda V. Olson, a native of Denmark, said a man who had been a customer less than three months left her a $1,000 tip.
that enough strontium 90 would kill an animal. KU scientists are now probing into the question of whether there is any way of removing the element once it is in the body.
It has been determined that strontium 90 will pass from a mother to offspring—mathemly through the milk but also through the mother's placenta to the unborn offspring.
We encourage all students who have done well in science and mathematics to enter the field. Salaries are more rewarding than most other fields which women go into.
"Since I came to KU we have had several enrolled in the chemical engineering department." Prof. Kurata said, "but only one has graduated. Another will graduate next June. The one who has graduated is working as a technical librarian for a major oil company."
Prof. Kurata said there are some fields in engineering that women aren't best suited for, one of them being construction.
Women are well suited for the fields of research development, design, technical literature and technical advertising, he said.
