Wind Tunnel Planned
KU aero-space engineers will be able to make hurricane winds at the touch of a button when their new 200 mile an hour wind tunnel is completed next spring.
Christmas Party
The tunnel will have two test areas, Vincent Muirhead, associate professor of aero-space engineering explained.
THE UPPER SECTION will be 36 inches by 51 inches and will be five feet long. The air velocity through this section will be 200 miles an hour.
The lower section will be six feet by six feet and will be 10 feet long. The velocity through this section will be less than 100 miles an hour.
Models of helicopters, ground effect machines, light planes, and high speed planes will be tested in the tunnels for flight characteristics.
An electronic balance will measure the performance of the models in the air stream. Photographs will be used to analyze the air flow and turbulence over the models.
The motor will run at a constant speed so velocity through the tunnel will be determined by changing
Gowen Appointed
Power for the four six foot blades of the fan is provided by a 300 horsepower electric motor.
THE WIND TUNNEL is of a modern design, "a closed return" tunnel. This means the air is circulated throughout the tunnel and not allowed to escape. This design allows a smaller electric motor, Professor Muirhead said.
James A. Gowen, acting assistant professor of English, has been appointed associate chairman of the committee on the rhetorical analysis of English prose for the National Council of Teachers of English.
Chancellor and Mrs. W. Clarke Wescos will be honored guests at the People-to-People and International Club Christmas party Friday, Dec. 11.

the "pitch" or bite of the blades. The KU department of aero-space engineering will supervise the construction of the tunnel. Major assembly will start in late January.
The semi-formal dance will begin at 9 p.m. at the Little Banquet. Two hundred KU professors and all students have been invited.
