Course helps engineers update inspection skill
By BRET WALLACE Staff Reporter
Civil engineers from across North America have come to the University of Kansas this week to update their education, the chairman of the department of civil engineering said yesterday.
The objective of the three-day course, which is offered once a year, is to educate engineers in newer techniques in detecting structure failures, said Stanley Rolfe, the chairman.
He said the 17 engineers came from as far away as New York, California and Canada for the course, which ends today, called "Fracture End Fatigue Control in Structures."
"THE COURSE helps designers analyze conditions that lead to structural failure," he said.
Lee Kline, materials engineer for Standard Oil of California, said that
he thought the course was a good review, and that he learned a lot of new things.
He said his company sent someone to take the course every year.
Rolfé said studying examples of different failures was an important part of the course.
But the collapse of the skywalks in the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kansas City, Mo. July 1981, was not related problems they are studied, he said.
The concentration is on studying failures of off-shore oil rigs, bridges and ships, he said. This year they are studying recent research by the civil engineering department on the oil rigs used in the North Sea extraction of oil rigs in the North Sea.
THE PROGRAM, which is run in cooperation with the division of continuing education, deals with fracture end fatigue control each year, Rofe said, but the applications vary according to the type of engineers who are coming and recent research at the University.
Woman hit by car, breaks hip
A 79-year-old Lawrence woman was treated for a fractured hip last night at Lawrence Memorial Hospital after she fell while running on the campus, police and hospital officials said.
Erma Patterson, 1608 Rhode Island St., was taken to the hospital after a car making a right turn from Massachusetts Street onto East Eighth Street hit her. The accident occurred about 3 p.m. yesterday, police said.
The driver of the car, Anthony Slaughter, 23, 1908 E. 19th St., told police he looked left, then right and saw Patterson crossing the street. He applied the car brakes, but Patterson was already on the hood of the car.
WITNESSES SAID Patterson fell from the car's hood to the pavement,
Police did not issue any citations.
KU news show to be on Channel 6
It was 5:25 p.m. and crew members were adjusting the studio lights. Painted gray panels formed the stage behind them, in doing, behind them, out of camera range.
A student practiced her lines aloud while her co-anchor talked to the director. At 5:30, the anchors took their places in front of the camera. Amid instructions from cameramen and the manager, the cue was given. It was 5:37.

The first rehearsal of the University of Kansas news show, Fifteen Minutes,
began last night in the color lab of Joliffe Hall.
A REPORT on the stock market led off the show. That was followed by a report on President Reagan's upcoming press conference.
Back in the control room, the scene was different
THEERE, DIRECTOR Terence O'Malley worked with the technical and assistant directors to coordinate the elements of the program. As he sat behind an array of TV monitors, he gave instructions to time a tape of the city commission meeting with the anchor's lead in.
"OK, roll VCR. Take VCR!," he said.
Instantly, the scene on the monitor shifted to city hall
More reports were delivered and, in fifteen minutes, the show was over.
"Marvelous! Marvelous! That's a wrap, wrap, gaid," said Rassmann. "It's not."
"m've pleased with this group." he said. "I think we've got marvelous talos."
BOTH SHELA Dressman, Lawrence senior, and Michael Cuenca, Wichita graduate student, will anchor the show, Rasmussen said, ending a selection process that began with auditions on Sept. 15.
Chuck Heinz, Overland Park senior, will deliver sports news, and Brett
Milbourn, Overland Park senior, will deliver feature and variety reports, he said.
"At least I know what I'm in for," Dressman said.
Dressman and Cuenca agreed that the filming, despite being the first time a movie had been shot in Mexico.
Russmanse did no editing is done on the final tape to keep filings as close as possible.
Another rehearsal is scheduled for next Wednesday.

When a good friend borrows your car,the tank may not come back full. But the trunk does.
When you get paid back with interest like this, it sort of makes you wish he'd borrow things more often. Open up a few cold ones and toast a guy who really knows how to return a favor. Tonight, let it be Löwenbräu.
