102 Science Students Start Summer Work
By Anita Wicke
High ability high school students from more than 30 states began a 6-week summer science training program on Sunday. The 127 students were chosen from over 900 applications from all parts of the nation.
Of the 127 students, 107 are firstyear science campers. The remaining 25 campers were exceptional students from the 1964 science camp.
Under the guidance of the senior professors at KU, these latter students attend an 8-week research apprenticeship program.
Among those attending the research program are Robert C. Colwell, Neodesha, physics; Cheryl Mae Craft, Richmond, K., yooology; Ronald Guy Fraass, Mankato, microbiology; George Carey Fuller, Knoxville, Tenn, physics; Robert Lee Harper, Charleston, Mo., chemistry; David Knox Hill, Nevada, Mo., mathematics:
Kenneth K. Hickin, New Orleans, La, mathematics; Willa Jean Holmberg, Las Cruces, N.M., psychology; Barbara Helen Hughes, Ottawa, microbiology; Glen A. Kroeger, Ellis physics; Stephen J. Lucas, Thorntown, Ind, microbiology; Diana Marie McMahon, Valinda, Calif., microbiology; Jerome K. Osburn, Bentley, radiation biophysics;
Geologist Makes Tour into Kansas
The leader of the field trip for the November 1965 meeting of the Geological Society of America in Kansas City, Mo., is making his reconnaissance through west-central Kansas.
Donald E. Hattin, summer member of the State Geological Survey, is spending about 10 days in the valleys of the Saline and Smoky Hill rivers in Ellsworth, Russell, and Ellis counties, and of tributaries in Trego, Gove, Lane, and Logan counties.
Rock chalk, stone posts, fossils of winged reptiles, toothed birds and microscopic sea shells—all evidence of the Cretaceous area—will be featured on the field trip attended by geologists from over the nation.
Hattin, during the academic year professor at Indiana State University, did detailed field work in the area last summer.

Dr. Delbert M. Shankel, associate professor of microbiology, is director of the science camp. A grant made by the National Science Foundation covered about two-thirds of the cost of the program and provided some financial assistance toward the $150 all-inclusive fee.
Science campers spent the first week of camp in a survey of eight scientific areas. Each student then selected two areas for concentrated study the remaining five weeks.
The options and KU professors participating are—Sociology, Miss Joy R Gold; Microbiology, Dr. Shankel; Chemistry, Dr. Arthur W. Davidson; Mathematics, Dr. Arthur Wedel and Ted J. Suffridge; Physics, Dr. Richard C. Sapp and Dr. Robert Stump; Physiology, Dr. William M. Balfour; Radiation biophysics, Dr. Edward I. Shaw; Zoology, Dr. Charles A. Leone.
The National Science Foundation grant requires that scholarships and admissions be administered on a national basis. Kansas leads in numbers with 7 of the 25 research apprentices and 22 of the 102 campers.
Other states represented are Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California (8), Colorado (2), Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana (5), Illinois (6), Iowa (6), Kentucky, Louisiana (4), Michigan (3), Minnesota (2), Missouri (10), Montana, Nebraska (9), New Mexico (2), New York, North Carolina, Ohio (5), Oklahoma (5), Oregon, South Carolina (4), South Dakota, Tennessee (2), Texas (8), Utah, Washington, Wisconsin (2), and Wyoming.
Grants Awarded To Microbiology
Grants totaling approximately $10,000 have been given to the microbiology department by the National Science Foundation.
The grants are given to various science departments by the foundation in order to promote scientific research. Delbert Shankel, professor of microbiology, said there are five undergraduate research students in the program at the present time. Another student is expected to join the program in the fall.
The undergraduate researchers and their areas of study are Jeff Nichols, senior, nucleic acid synthesis by irradiated bacteria; Alice Cox, sophomore, genetics of rickettsial agents, especially Coxiella burnetii which causes Q fever.
Each student is expected to spend 10 weeks in research during the summer. In return he receives a $600 stipend. During the fall the program is set up in much the same way. The students work in the laboratory 10 hours a week and receive a stipend of $100 per semester.
Julius Jackson, senior, biochemical mechanisms of pathogenesis in listeriosis; Betty Arnold, junior, immunological mechanisms of pathogenesis in listeriosis; Karen Holland, senior, physiology of sulfur metabolisms in bacteria.
Industrial Design Program Honored
The industrial design curriculum of the School of Fine Arts has been invited to participate in the 1966 Alcoa Student Design Merit Award program.
The invitation carries with it a $1,000 unrestricted grant for use in industrial design, which is directed at KU by Prof. Downer P. Dykes.
Other aids to student participation in the design program include the supply of a thousand pounds of aluminum for models and prototypes, a technical library of Alcoa literature and product data, and at least two campus visits by Ronald D. Parks of the Alcoa industrial design department.
The merit award program provides future industrial designers an opportunity to become familiar with the use of aluminum as a basic material.
The Max Kade distinguished professor of German at KU in 1965-66 will be Dr. Heinz O. Burger, chairman of the department of German literature at the University of Frankfurt, Germany.
German Named To 1965-66 Staff
Dr. Burger, one of the leading authorities on classical German literature, is a member of the Goethe Archives at Frankfurt. He previously was chairman of the department of German and dean of the University of Erlangen, Germany.
The Kade distinguished professorship filled by a visiting scholar carries the regular salary of a professor supplemented by a grant from the Max Kade Foundation of New York.
The German-born Mr. Kade came to the United States in 1905. A successful manufacturer of pharmaceuticals, for the past 20 years he has directed his philanthropies toward German-American educational relations.
This will be the second year for a Max Kade distinguished professorship at KU. Last year the post was filled by Dr. Gerhard Storz, minister of education of the Land Wurttenberg-Baden in West Germany.
Washington Post Praises Davis
Sensitivity and teamwork equal a good show, the Washington Post headlined the review of a recital played in the capital city last week by Michael Davis, British violinist who is visiting artist-teacher here this summer.
Davis will play two faculty recitals at KU, July 7 and July 28, at 8 p.m. in Swarthout Recital Hall. Both will be free to the public.
The Post's reviewer, Charles Crowder, wrote: "Davis is a violinist who has relegated his main attention to the lower end of the dynamic range. The tone is not large but is filled with a finesse that is associated with world-renowned artists. It is rich, flexible, and capable of turning quixotically into the most luxuriant of tones as well as finding the suitable climaxes and points of relaxation as the flow of sound progresses."
The 28-year-old violinist has performed widely in Europe and the United States. For the past five years he has divided time between teaching at the College of Wooster in Ohio and concert tours.
