Chemical society draws nearly 800 to meeting
The Midwest region of the American Chemical Society (ACS) began the first of three days of meetings yesterday in the Kansas Union.
Approximately 500 members registered for the initial session, and additional registration tomorrow should bring the total to near 800, according to John A. Landgrebe, assistant professor of chemistry and chairman of this year's conference.
The program consists of symposiums, speakers and technical sessions where research papers are presented.
"It is an opportunity for chemists, biochemists and chemical engineers to get together and see each other's work," according to Charles A. Reynolds, local arrangements chairman.

Courses to teach studying, reading
Do you read at a snail's pace and still show up on the wrong end of the grading curve?
Perhaps you should enroll in study skills or rapid reading classes beginning Nov. 7. The six-week courses for no credit end Dec. 16. Study skills groups meet twice weekly; rapid reading, three times weekly.
The study skills course deals with taking lecture notes, writing examinations and applying study methods, he said.
Enrollment will be held Tuesday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in 102 Bailey. No tuition will be charged.
THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SWINDLE
To most students football is just a game. But to the players it's a grueling, unfair, full-time way of life.Saysone, "You end up after four years with a bum knee, talking like a clod, fit for nothing." Now a Florida State professor in "Speaks Out" charges that football makes coaches liars and the rest of us hypocrites. Read about his plan to pay the players. And about the sly ways coaches force injured players to give up their scholarships. Don't miss this story and another on F. Lee Bailey, Boston's sensational lawyer with a mind for murder. Both are in the November 5 issue of The Saturday Evening Post. Get your copy today.
dollars, are exhibiting equipment in the Union-Ballroom. Representatives will be available to demonstrate and answer questions until 3 p.m. today.
Also featured is a conference which will consider "What chemistry does biology need?" It is sponsored by ACS's division of chemical education.
LAST NIGHT in the Big Eight Room, W. T. Lippincott, protes-
sor of chemistry at Ohio State University, spoke to a group of approximately 200 concerning "Problems, Programs and Prototypes in Chemistry Curricula Development—The AC3 Approach"
Lippincott, member of the Advisory Council for College Chemistry (AC3), spoke essentially on innovations in teaching aids. He demonstrated new television tapes and short films.
The Colloquium features speakers from other universities, whereas KU staff members and occasionally graduate students speak at the Seminar.
Math seminar held
The third Senior Staff Seminar for KU department of mathematics faculty members and graduate students yesterday presented Thomas K. Boehme, visiting associate professor of mathematics, who spoke on "Sequential Convergence."
The department sponsors Math Colloquium meetings and Senior Staff Seminars, Charles Himmelberg, associate professor and coordinator of the sessions, said. One of the two meetings is held almost every week.

You don't have to be a genius to work at G.E.
Near genius is okay.
A near genius with drive, stamina and imagination. that is.
And it doesn't really matter what subject you're a near genius in. General Electric is looking for top scientists - and for top graduates in economics, business, law, accounting and the liberal arts.
Nobody who joins G.E. is going to feel cramped. This is a worldwide
company, and it makes over 200,000 different products. So there's plenty of room to feel your strength - and in some of today's most challenging fields: transit design, urban lighting, jet propulsion, computers, electronics, aerospace, you name it.
Challenges like these have raised a new generation of idea men at G.E. If you're good enough to join
them, you'll find responsibilities come to you early. Your talents are recognized, your work is rewarded in money and in opportunity.
This time next year, you could be on your way. Talk to the man from G.E. next time he visits your campus. And don't be surprised if he's young, too. At General Electric, the young men are important men.
