Moral Reasoning to Be Topic
The chairman of the department of philosophy at the University of California will give the first of a series of lectures on "Ethics and Society" sponsored by the department of philosophy.
Prof. A. I. Melden will speak on "Moral Reasoning" at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the auditorium of Dyche Museum.
Prof. Melden is past president of the Pacific Division of the American Philosophical Association and the author of numerous articles and papers on ethics, freedom, philosophical psychology and human rights.
He is also the author of several books, has held Ford and Guggenheim fellowships, and was a 1960 resident professor of Rockefeller's Villa Serbelloni, Lake Como, Italy.
Journalism Speaker Named
Lester G. Benz, executive secretary of Quill and Scroll, international honorary society for high school journalists, will speak at the 46th annual high school journalism conference here October 31.
He will speak on careers in journalism under the title "It's Lots of Fun."
Invitations to the conference have been sent to all Kansas high school newspaper and yearbook advisers and their staffs, Burton W. Marvin, dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information, said. The school and the KU Extension are co-sponsoring the conference.
Advisers attending the conference will have a meeting to discuss formation of a statewide organization of advisers.
KU Spends 'Dimes' Funds
March of Dimes funds spent at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City in 1963 were exceeded in amount at only three other institutions, according to the annual report of the National Foundation.
Disbursements for research in the basic sciences at the KU School of Medicine totaled $118,202 in the past calendar year.
This was exceeded only at the Salk Institute for Biological Sciences in San Diego, Calif., $395,868; the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, New York City, $128,127; and the University of Minnesota, $118,700.
Much of the research at KU is in the field of viruses and is directed by Dr. Herbert A. Werner, research professor of pediatrics. He guided the work at KU which along with studies at two other universities provided the basic information leading to development of the Salk vaccine against polio.
Professor Receives Medal
A KU professor today received the Rudolph Hering medal of the American Society of Civil Engineers at its annual meeting in New York City.
Ross E. McKinney, chairman of the civil engineering department, earned the Hering medal for the year's "technical paper which best advances the sanitary engineering branch of the profession."
His paper was "Mathematics of Complete Mixing Activated Sludge" and was concerned with improvements in the design and operation of biological wastewater reclamation systems.
This is the second such recent honor for Prof. McKinney. In 1962 he received the Harrison P. Eddy award from the Water Pollution Control Federation for the most significant research published in its Journal the previous year.

THE LITTLE BANQUET MALLS SHOPPING CENTER
Robert J. Dingman, head of the cooperative ground-water program of the U.S. and Kansas Geological Surveys here, is undertaking a three-month assignment in Panama for the U.S. Agency for International Development.
KU Geologist Aids Panama
Dingman is working with Panama's Institute of Water Resources and Electrification and with the Section of Environmental Health of the Ministry of Labor. His assignment began Oct. 15.
With headquarters in Chitre on the Pacific coast, about 100 miles north of the Canal Zone, Dingman will be concerned with the water resources of this area. He said water resources development is needed because the area receives about 40 inches of rain a year within about three months.
Panama does not have a geological survey, and only two geologists are stationed in the country with whom Dingman will be working. One outcome of the AID assignment may be a Ground-Water Section for the Panamanian government.
Foreign assignments are not new to Dingman, who was transferred to Kansas in mid-1963 as district geologist for the U.S. Geological Survey and head of the cooperative ground-water program in Kansas. For most of eight years previously Dingman was stationed in Chile. He was in charge of the U.S. Geological Survey's geological program there, did research in ground-water geology, taught courses at the University of Chile, and wrote and edited geological reports in Spanish.
For several months early in 1963, Dingman was in Korea. He evaluated ground-water possibilities and planned a project for ground-water investigations there.
Warren Hodson, member of the Kansas ground-water staff who recently spent two months in Alaska studying ground-water conditions in the Anchorage area, will be acting district geologist in Dingman's absence.

Four KU Novice Teams To Debate at Manhattan
Four KU novice debating teams will debate with teams from about 30 schools this Saturday at Manhattan in the annual Kansas State Tournament.
Novice debaters, those who are debating for the first time in college, comprise the largest portion of this year's 30-man squad. There are four returning debaters.
The debating squad has a new coach this year, Donald Parsons, assistant professor of speech and drama. He is a recent graduate of the University of Minnesota where he helped coach debate for several years.
The teams Prof. Parsons coached at Minnesota generally had good records. KU debaters have a 1-1 record in debates with his teams.
The debaters, all freshmen, who will attend the tournament are: Jolene Bullock, Robert Campbell, James McNish, Phyllis Schofer, John Schultz, Robert Ward, William Ward, and Jon Willard.
The next novice debate will be Oct. 31 with the University of Omaha in Omaha, Nebr.
