Engineers finalize plans
Expo 67, KU style
Approximately 10,000 persons are expected to tour exhibits in Learned Hall for the 47th annual Engineering Exposition April 21-22.
Opening ceremonies will begin at noon April 21. William D. Smith, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, will preside at the ribbon cutting and will crown Donna Mitchell, Lawrence junior, as "Learned Miss." Miss Mitchell's attendants are Lynne Neibarger, Tonganoxie sophomore, and Laurie Wedell, Ofallon, Ill., sophomore.
Mrs. King talks about civil rights
By MERRILY ROBINSON
Dr. Martin Luther King has been involved in the civil rights movement for so long that the public tends to forget he is a minister. Meeting his wife reminds one of that fact.
Mrs. King was at KU for one of a series of Freedom Concerts she has been presenting in cities throughout America. In spite of a missed plane and rushed rehearsal and dinner before she appeared at KU at 7:30, she remained extremely pleasant. She seemed not so much a visiting celebrity as a neighborhood pastor's wife.
MRS. KING HAS been presenting the Freedom Concert for two and one-half years, principally for church groups in such cities as Montgomery and Selma, Ala., Granada, Miss., and Chicago.
"Usually I wasn't in those cities during the time their civil rights movements were going strongest," she said. "I was usually there either before or after. Selma was an exception, however, and the response there to my concert was overwhelming."
Mrs. King said the concerts were her own idea and she put them together herself. Her husband approved of the idea, she said, but she tries to schedule her appearances for one particular season so that she can be with her husband and two children as much as possible.
Mrs. King proudly displayed yesterday a heavy charm bracelet that traces her and her husband's activities during the past few years. Most of the charms were gifts from churches they visited. Also on display was a key to the City of New York, given her by Mayor Lindsay when she and her husband returned from his acceptance of the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize.
WHEN SHE WAS taken last night from the Kansas Union to McCollum Hall for a reception sponsored by the Inter-Residence Council, Mrs. King expressed awe at the size of the KU campus and regret that she hadn't been able to see it during the daytime.
HEADQUARTERS for the exposition are on the main floor of Learned Hall. Engineering professors will be available for counselling of prospective students on the second floor of the building.
Angel Flight, honorary Air Force auxiliary, will serve as hostesses for the exposition. High school students from all over the state are expected to attend, along with members of several professional engineering societies.
At the present time, major companies planning to exhibit at the exposition are Westinghouse, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Collins Radio, and Phillips Petroleum Company. NASA will exhibit several returned space capsules.
McDONALD AIRCRAFT Corporation will show pictures of its Phantom IV airplane, soon to be used in Vietnam. Kress Remote Sensing Laboratory will demonstrate radar mapping techniques. Also planning to exhibit is BETA, electronics research laboratory.
Trophies will be given for the three best student exhibits. A committee from the School of Engineering will judge the exhibits on three criteria: originality, technical merit, and total effect of oral and graphic presentation.
Sigma Tau, honorary professional engineering fraternity, will present a trophy to the department with the best over-all exhibit.
FINAL EVENT on the exposition program will be a banquet April 22 in the Ballroom of the Kansas Union. Clifford E. Charlesworth, mission director for the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Tex., will discuss several aspects of the Manned Spacecraft Program.

rated with a drawing of a light-
ning bug with a light bulb for a body and the caption "light-n-bug." The drawings were done by Cleveland's daughter while she was an art student at KU.
Cleveland maintains both a tractor and a trailer license for it. He uses the tractor license when he is driving it around town and the trailer license when he is hauling it to shows such as the annual trashing bee in McLouth. He is a member of the Antique Steam Engine and Model Association and takes the "thing" to many fairs to exhibit.
IT TAKES APPROXIMATELY 30 minutes to build up enough steam to drive the "thing." The boiler, when full, will hold about 65 gallons of water and there is an alternate storage tank which holds 75.
The engine itself originally came from Oklahoma where he thinks it had been used to pump oil. It was built in 1892. The man who sold it to Cleveland claims that it was used on Will Rogers' farm to pump water.
The $7,642,350 appropriation from the Kansas education building funds would be used in fiscal 1968 and 1969.
Cleveland is a construction electrician by trade and works on the steam engine strictly as a hobby.
TOPEKA — Gov. Robert Docking Thursday signed into law a bill appropriating more than $7 million for construction at Kansas colleges and universities.
His interest in steam engines began as a boy, "my uncle had a steam threshing machine and I had to haul water for it. Sometimes I got to run it. Then I forgot about them for years and when they started coming back I got enthused again and started hunting for an engine," he said.
