Architect To Preview Designs
Page 3
A preview of 1957 architectural design will be shown at 3 p.m. Thursday in Bailey Auditorium when Thomas H. Creighton, New Yory City architect and editor of Progressive Architecture, will lecture before University students.
He will discuss coming trends and designs which have not yet been published. The lecture will be illustrated.
Mr. Creighton's first lecture will be at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in room 306 of the Student Union. His topic will be "Contemporary Practice: A Field for Study."
Members of the student chapter of the American Institute of Architects will hear both talks.
While on the campus Mr. Creighton will meet informally with students and staff members of the Department of architecture and architectural engineering.
He will then go to Kansas City where he will confer with architects of the region.
Italian Quintet Well Received
The outstanding performance of the Quintetto Boccherini concert Friday evening in Strong Auditorium was the Boccherini work, "Quintet in C Minor, Op. 18, No. 1." This work was immaculately performed with wonderful precision and feeling. The quintet blended and fused together as one instrument with the two cellos giving added richness of texture to the music.
The most unusual number of the concert was the first one after the intermission, the Quintet "Tombeau de Chopin" by Tansman which is a memorial piece to Chopin. The music does not quote Chopin's music but rather is an attempt to catch his spirit. The first movement, a nocture, establishes a mood of mystery; the second part, a mazurka, contains the essence of Chopin's lyrical quality; and the closing section, the postlude, reverts to the original mystic, dark and romantic tones. Both the composer's conception and the artists' performance were sensitive and meaningful.
An unusual attribute of the musicians is their ability to alternate positions in the quintet. Pina Carmirelli and Arrigo Pelliccia were alternating first and second violinists while Artur Bonucci and Merio Brunelli changed from first to second violins with ease. Mme. Carmirelli, the founder of the original quintet, is recognized as one of Italy's most outstanding musicians and she particularly demonstrated her versatility.
Book Co-Authored ByFacultyMember
"Personality in a Communal Society." an analysis of the mental health of the Hutterites, written by Bert Kaplan, assistant professor of psychology, and Thomas F. A. Plaut, of Harvard University, has been published by the University of Kansas Press.
The Hutterites, a religious sect living in small cooperative colonies in the northern United States and Canada, have isolated themselves from Western civilization and retain many characteristics of a medieval society.

Russia Ahead In Technology
(Continued From Page 1)
Mr. Spencer told the 250 persons present at the banquet, "It is pretty obvious that there are disturbing forces at work in this country and abroad which if allowed to grow, will wreck the momentum of the present forward surge for the improvement of mankind around the world.
We must guard against a feeling of complacency, Mr. Spencer added, and against a feeling that if we just ride along everything will turn out all right.
"I believe it is the engineer's responsibility to continue to supply the leadership for growth and to challenge those about him to maintain our vigorous expanding economy." Mr. Spencer said.
Education Group To Pledge
The 4-day convention closed with a business meeting in the morning and a farewell banquet at noon Saturday.
Pi Lambda Theta, honorary association for women in education, will hold pledging ceremonies at 5 p. m. Thursday in the Home Economics Dining Room. Fraser. All members are urged to attend.
Former J-School Student Visits KU

George Lincoln asks:
What do metallurgists do in a chemical company?
CHARLES I. SMITH, JR., received his B.S. Ch.E. from V.P.I. in 1943, served in the Navy as an engineer officer, and joined Du Pont's Engineering Department in 1946. Since then, he has advanced steadily through a number of interesting assignments at various Du Pont plants. He was recently promoted to manager of the Technical Section of Du Pont's Pigments Department.
Metallurgists and Metallurgical Engineers can find some of Charlie Smith's challenging new problems described in "Engineers at Du Pont." For a free copy of this booklet write to E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. (Inc.), 2521 Nemours Building, Wilmington 98, Delaware.

GEORGE M. LINCOLN, JR., expects to receive his B.S. in metallurgical engineering from Lehigh University in 1957. George was vice president of his junior class, is active in sports, and a participant in many other campus activities. He's starting his employment investigations early, for he feels that the selection of an employer is one of the most important decisions in a man's career.

Charlie Smith answers:
They have an almost endless variety of interesting problems to face, George. As a student of metallurgy, you know that about two-thirds of all known chemical elements are metals. Many of them are revealing valuable new applications, when highly purified on a commercial scale. Du Pont is greatly interested in several metallic and semi-metallic elements.
My own experience at Du Pont ranges from work on titanium pigments, to metallic titanium production, and to the ultra-pure silicon used in transistors. You can appreciate some of our metallurgical problems when I point out that impurities in transistor silicon have to be below one part in 100 million. That's equivalent to one pound of impurities distributed through a train of ore cars twenty miles long!
Some of our metallurgists carry out fundamental research on new metals, and, in the development stage they frequently operate pilot plants for producing them. Other metallurgists study problems relating to engineering materials used in construction, carry out research on intergranular corrosion, or investigate fatigue relationships encountered in dynamic, high-pressure operations.
You'll find many challenging opportunities in every phase of metallurgy at Du Pont, George.
