OPENS FRIDAY
Engineers program set
The crowning of the Engineering Queen and her two attendants will officially open the 46th annual KU Engineering Exposition at 12 noon this Friday, April 22, on the front steps of the Engineering building.
William P. Smith, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, will address students, deans and department heads during the opening ceremony, after which the queen will be crowned.
The Exposition will be held from 12 to 9 p.m. Friday, and will re-open Saturday morning at 9 a.m. and last until 4 p.m. The Engineering building will be open to the public during those hours for viewing of science, engineering and architecture exhibits.
THE THEME OF the Exposition is "Blueprints for Your Future." chosen in harmony with the Centennial theme, "Man and the Future." The exhibits will show engineering ideas which will affect man in the near or far future.
Some of the exhibits include pocket telephones, an electronically controlled high-speed train, models of the first moon structures and future tubular bridges, a supersonic wind tunnel, and a 10,000-watt nuclear reactor.
KU woman a finalist in cheerleader contest
A "tropical wonderland of flowers" at Cypress Gardens, Fla., hosted Karen Dunaway, Topeka sophomore and KU pom-pon girl, April 1-3, as one of six finalists in the Miss Cheerleader USA contest.
Chosen from 12 KU entries, Miss Dunaway's prizes as finalist were a Jantzen wardrobe and a silver tray. The winner, from the University of Ohio, was awarded additional prizes of an outboard motor and a guest appearance on the television program "To Tell the Truth." Entrants were judged on three cheers they presented to tourists at the Gardens.
MISS DUNAWAY spent much of her time posing for publicity pictures for Cypress Gardens. Although she had never water skied
before, one shot pictured her on the shoulders of a skier.
"I was a little scared, but we only left the boat for five minutes so it wasn't difficult at all," said Miss Dunaway.
Among the other finalists, from International College, Springfield, Mass., the University of Ohio and the University of Tennessee, were twins who performed their cheers together. The girls were chaperoned by Miss Brenda Mitchell, a performer with the water skiing cast at the gardens.
"Through my cheerleading activities I meet interesting people from all over the country and can also keep physically fit," Miss Dunaway said. She first served as a cheerleader when she was a senior in high school.
KU to send advisers to Central America
Gale, who is in Lawrence on a visit, has been in San Jose, Costa Rica, for about eight months working on the program. He will be there for another year and a half.
KU will send two advisers to Central American universities in May and June for stays of one year to help improve humanities and social studies programs there, said Thomas M. Gale, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and director of the program.
One of the advisers will go to the University of Nicaragua to help with the sociology department and the other will work with the philosophy department of the University of Honduras. Their names will be announced in two or three weeks, Gale said.
THEY WILL TEACH, advise on curricula, and help select people for further training at KU who will return to their universities to teach.
The final event of the weekend will be the Engineering Banquet, to be held at 6:30 p.m. Saturday night in the Kansas Room of the Union.
Co-ordinators for the program work with universities which have requested assistance to plan programs which will be useful to them and which can be implemented with the funds available.
The five-year program, which began last September, represents the co-operation of KU and the Organization of Central American Universities. Funds are provided by the Regional Organization for Central American and Panama, a division of the Agency for International Development.
RESPONSE FROM CENTRAL American universities has been "overwhelmingly enthusiastic," Gale said. "They have asked for a lot more people than we can provide."
Gale said he hopes three or four more advisers can be placed later.
many Central American universities, he said. Although there are differences in the strengths and weaknesses of different schools, he said, universities are "in the midst of a vigorous reform effort," and the Central American program gives them an opportunity to improve weak areas.
Most of the requests have been in the areas of sociology, anthropology, geography, psychology and philosophy, he said. These areas are relatively underdeveloped both in research and teaching in
B. W. Hodges, director of engineering for Boeing Aircraft Corp. will be the speaker at the banquet. Concluding the 1966 Exposition will be the presentation of awards for the best three exhibits entered.
Bill Weisenborn, Tulaa, Okla,
senior and president of the Engineering Student Council, said that the Banquet is open to the public,
and that tickets may be purchased for $2 from Dean Smith's office,
any of the engineering department offices or from any member of the council. He added that tickets may also be purchased at the door.
Registration for Ph.D. reading examination in German will close Friday 12. The exam will be held on Room 101, Catruth O'Leary, May 7, 9:30 a.m.

Don't let down on the week-end
Keep up your public appearance by letting your clothes work for you. The answer is to "dress-down". Casual, calculated, not sloppy. Try a Cricketeer Country Cloth Sportcoat. It's got the subtle quality of good taste... the textured look in muted plaids, checks and solids. It's a natural.
