Chemistry prof studies catalysis

Most people would not give catalysis a second thought, but Richard L. Schowen, associate professor of chemistry, will spend the next five years studying it.
Schowen recently received a Research Career Development Award from the National Institutes of Health. The award is given to those who have contributed to health through research. It will provide Schowen with financial support during the five years.
CATALYSIS IS the action of catalysts, substances used to speed up chemical reactions without changing the effect of the reaction. Biological systems regulate chemistry by means of catalysts. They are necessary to many of the body functions such as respiration and digestion.
Schowen is concerned with basic questions about catalysis. He wishes to find what makes a good catalyst and why they sometimes fail to react, often causing disease. Although he is not interested in developing cures for the diseases, Schowen felt the understanding he gains from the research may help other researchers in doing so.
Schowen will conduct his research at KU assisted by graduate and undergraduate students of the school of chemistry. He is hopeful but not certain his work will take him to the University of Tokyo next year.
EXPERIMENT
SANTA CLARA. Calif.-(UPI) A select group of eighth graders will participate in an experimental program this summer at the University of Santa Clara.
Labeled "Project 50," the program hopes to inspire 50 youngsters from low income backgrounds with college potential to enroll in a college preparatory curriculum when they enter high school in the fall.
Professor Hatton, a Norwegian citizen, will come to KU from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Professor Kendall, formerly a Ford Foundation and Guggenheim fellow, will take temporary leave from the Regents distinguished professorship he has held at Ohio University since 1959.
Internationally known historian Ragnhild Hatton and Shakespear ean scholar Paul Kendall will fill the 23rd and 24th Rose Morgan visiting professorships at KU in the fall and spring semesters.
Rose Morgan, emerita professor of English, made possible the honorary chair by giving her home adjoining the campus to the KU Endowment Association.

Professor Hatton went from the University of Oslo, Norway, to the University of London for graduate work in history, concluding with her doctorate.
