Well Known Polish Professor Wowing Faculty Members, Too
It isn't often that a professor's students include other professors.
But Dr. Marek Sokolowski, visiting associate professor of applied mechanics, is "that good," comments department chairman Dr. Kenneth Deerem. "Many of our faculty members are attending his classes."
The young scientist is internationally known in the field of thermoelasticity and is on leave from the Institute for Basic Technical Problems, Warsaw, Poland. His presence at K.U. is somewhat a rarity.
Several American universities have tried to secure Dr. Sokolowski as a visiting professor. The arrangement was finally worked out for him to come to K.U. after it was learned of his wife's appointment here.
Mrs. Sokolowski (Alicia) came to KU, last May (1960) and is working with Dr. F. S. Rowland, associate professor of chemistry, in radio-chemistry research supported by the Atomic Energy Commission. She is on leave from the Institute of Nuclear Research in Warsaw.
When she left Poland, she was somewhat reluctant to leave her husband behind.
we knew it would be difficult being separated for more than a year," she said. "But because of the educational advantage, we decided I should come. My husband was participating in a five-month research exchange program in Holland and we didn't think there was any possibility of his coming to the United States.
"I suppose it is rather unusual for both of us to be here. It doesn't happen too often." she commented.
"A couple is often allowed to leave the country for short trips arranged by the Polish traveling bureau. And some friends of ours are coming to the United States to visit their family for three months. But they won't be working here," she said
At K.U. Dr. Sokolowski is conducting a seminar in thermoelastic-
ity for advanced graduate students and faculty members and is supervising a graduate student's master thesis. He also delivers lectures to a graduate class in engineering mechanics and is continuing study and research in his field.
The couple speaks English quite well although neither spoke the language before they came to K.U. "It's one of my greatest difficulties in teaching." Dr. Sokolowski remarked. "The foreign students seem to understand me better than the American students. All foreign English sounds about the same, but there's a big difference between American English and foreign English."
The couple will return to Warsaw in September—but not without a look at the Grand Canyon, San Francisco and Los Angeles. "We'd also like to see some East Coast cities—New York, of course, and Detroit where my aunt lives," Mrs. Sokolowski added.
"We'd like to see more, but there are just too many things to see here and the distances are 'too long,'" she smiled.
Zeller Gets AEC Research Renewal
Dr. Edward J. Zeller, associate professor of geology, has received a renewal of his Atomic Energy Commission contract that will provide $18,270 for another year's research on thermoluminescence.
Dr. Zeller has made three expeditions to the Antarctica under sponsorship of the National Science Foundation, using thermoluminescence to determine the age of rocks. With the AEC contract, he will continue research in measuring the geologic age of limestone.
Ernest Angino, who received his Ph.D. degree from KU last week, will direct the AEC research while Dr. Zeller is on leave at the University of Bern, Switzerland, during the 1961-62 academic year.
