Math, Science Day Attended By 3,000
Good speakers and the widest range of displays ever presented greeted about 3,000 high school students from Kansas and Missouri who attended the 13th annual KU Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Dav Saturday.
L. W. Seagondollar, professor of physics and director of the program, described this year's meeting as being "as successful as any in the past."
State Lawyers Seek Reforms
Proposals for judicial reform of the Kansas Constitution were presented to a meeting of the Kansas Bar Association Friday in Wichita by a committee of area attorneys,
- Political appointment of judges instead of election to remove them from political pressures.
- The committee recommended the following:
- A unified court system under the control of the State Supreme Court.
- Provisions for removal of judges by retirement.
- removal of jurisdictional overlap between state courts.
Hula Dance Taught
International Club members learned to hula and were entertained by Hawaiian Club at Hawaiian Night, Saturday.
Six Hawaiian students danced several types of Hula. The dancers were Jerald Lloyd; Susan Takaki, Honolulu freshman; Brenda Yoshimoto, Waimea freshman; Suzette Odo, Lehui freshman; and Lilia Repuyan, originally from the Philippines.
Ron Hirata, Hilo, Hawaiian senior played the yukele and sang songs, including the Hawaiiian wedding song.
The program is designed to provide interested students with an opportunity to become acquainted with activities and facilities in their fields of interest at KU.
THE STUDENTS began the day by attending a speech by Ross McKinney, chairman of the department of civil engineering and director of the environmental health research laboratories. McKinney explained how biology is utilized in civil engineering and how medicine and engineering are being coordinated for use.
After McKinney's speech the students attended departmental discussions in their individual fields of interest. At each of these meetings a staff member talked to the students about the types of employment available, current problems, and advantages and disadvantages of his field.
In his speech, McKinney also defined science as a collection of knowledge about certain things. He explained that engineering was the application of this knowledge collected by the scientists.
AT 1 P.M. Dr. Henry O. Pollak, director of Mathematics and Mechanics Research Center, Bell Telephone laboratories, spoke on the "Nature of Applied Mathematics." Pollak held a question-and-answer period after his speech.
