Engineering award is listed
An annual award for excellence in undergraduate teaching has been established in the School of Engineering and Architecture memorializing Henry E. Gould of Kansas City, Mo., who was president of Natkin & Company at the time of his death a year ago.
Mrs. Meredith Gould, the widow, and Natkin & Company, a mechanical contracting firm with 11 offices in the western half of the United States, have made a $10,000 endowment with the KU Endowment Association which
will provide for the first award in 1967. The gift is part of the University's Council for Progress program in its second century.
Gould earned the B.S. in mining engineering from KU in 1931 and soon became associated with the firm of which he became president in 1960. The company, now the nation's largest in its field, specializes in air conditioning, heating, plumbing, process piping, and power piping in heavy commercial and industrial fields.
Prize honors Carruth poet of KU
a fire-mist and a planet,
A jelly-fish and a saurian.
A crystal and a cell,
And caves where the cave-
men dwell;
Then a sense of law and beauty and a face turned from the clod-
Some call it Evolution,
And others call it God . . .
Thus wrote the University of Kansas English professor, William Carruth, in his well-known poem, "Each in His Own Tongue." Carruth died in 1924, and a memorial trust was established in June, 1927, to reward outstanding KU poets.
The William Herbert Carruth Memorial Poetry Contest is open to all resident students, undergraduate and graduate. Students should submit one to three poems over a pseudonym together with a sealed envelope containing the writer's name and his pseudonym.
The poet, rather than a particular poem, is selected by a panel of three: a member of the KU English department, an alumnus of KU, and a noted man of letters. The first prize is $200; second prize, $150; third prize, $100.
Winners in the 39th annual contest: George Grella, first prize; Orick Landrum, second prize; Dean Bevan, third prize; and Andre Sedricks, William Holm, Sylvia Wheeler, and Angela Harris, honorable mention.
Steel foundation renews award
The United States Steel Foundation, Inc., has renewed its two-year doctoral study fellowship in history at KU with a grant of $7..800. The award is one of 1714 pre-doctoral fellships the foundation provides in the humanities and is part of a $400,000 program of fellowships in all fields of study.
The U.S. Steel fellow for 1966- 68 will be David Gene Taylor, a 1965 graduate of Baker University who is completing work for the master's degree in history from KU.
Taylor has been a teaching assistant at KU this past year. His M.A. thesis is "An Economic History of Leavenworth, Kansas."
Because many students need familiarity with physics besides those studying engineering and the physical sciences, the department of physics at KU will this fall offer a new four-semester sequence at the freshman-sophomore level.

Krone develops physics courses
VI 2-6966
"The sequence is designed so any student can enter at a level appropriate to his background in science and mathematics and exit whenever his interests and professional goals have been served," said Dr. Ralph W. Krone, acting chairman.
Saturday
8:30-12:00
PHYSICS I will be a three-hour lecture and discussion course. There will be no regular laboratory and extensive problem solving will not be required, hence the mathematics prerequisite is only two and one-half years of high school mathematics.

"THIS SECOND course is designed to be an effective terminal physics course for nonscience majors and also to be an appropriate introduction to more specialized science courses," Dr. Krone said.
Physics 2 will be a five-hour course with lecture, recitation and laboratory. Calculus will not be used and the mathematics prerequisite will be college algebra and trigonometry or its high school equivalent.
Students who have had a good high school physics course can by passing a placement test enter the sequence at the second course, Dr. Krone explained.
The final two courses for those continuing the study of physics will be Physics 14 and 15. These will use a somewhat more sophisticated mathematics than the present physics courses for engineering and science majors.
The major impact of the changes is to permit the freshman year study of physics by all students.
