Phillips 66 gives another $5,000
The Phillips Petroleum Company has made a $5,000 grant to KU from its professional Development Fund, Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe announced today.
Presentation of the grant to KU was made through two Phillips representatives, William C. Douce, manager of the chemical department, and Stanley A. Alleman, director of engineering services, manufacturing department. They stated the company's desire that both faculty members and students benefit professionally from the award.
The funds will be used in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Schools of Engineering, Law, and Business.
INDIVIDUAL GRANTS will be administered by deans and department heads in areas of greatest need for student and faculty awards, traveling expenses and fees for off-campus professional societies meetings, expenses for visiting speakers and programs, and purchase of reference books and professional publications for departmental use.
The Phillips Fund supports and encourages professional growth and development of students and faculty in engineering, the physical sciences, business administration and related fields of study that are most important to the petroleum and petrochemical industries.
KU receives AEC contract
The low energy nuclear physics research program at KU will be given a boost by an additional $30,250 on its Atomic Energy Commission contract for a modification that will increase the energy of its Van de Graaff accelerator from 3 to 4.5 million electron volts.
Ralph W. Krone, professor of physics, said faculty and graduate students would be able to study problems that could not be reached with the present accelerator, which was built in 1963.
KU's low energy laboratory is the only major integrated accelerator research facility in this part of the United States. Both theoretical and experimental research teams use the accelerator which features an on-line hook-up to an IBM 1620 computer.
Krone explained that the power could be increased by use of a new type of stainless steel that will sustain the higher voltage in the accelerator tube. It will be made of layers of glass insulators and stainless steel electrodes. Fabrication will be by the High Voltage Engineering Corporation and take about six months.
"A proposal for a larger new accelerator has received favorable consideration from government agencies," Krone explained, "but had to be deferred because of cut backs in research funds. The upgrading of the present accelerator will provide a temporary stimulus."
New prof named in English area
Richard L. Eversole, an instructor and research assistant at the University of Wisconsin for several years, will become assistant professor of English at KU in September.
Gilbert, Sullivan expert is added
A graduate of Long Beach, Calif,
Eversole earned his B.A. degree from
the University of Oregon in 1961,
he is a teaching assistant
there two years, and received
his M. degree in 1963. He has
been at Wisconsin the past five
years. Eversole will receive his
Ph.D. degree in 1969.
An expert on the literary aspects of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas and the broader field of comic opera and musical comedy will become assistant professor of English at KU in September.
Eversole's special fields include 18th Century pastoral poetry and Elizabeth literature.
He is John Bush Jones, an instructor at Northwestern University the past three years. Native of Wilmette, Ill., he earned the B.S. degree from Northwestern in 1962 with a major in speech, and the M.A. degree in English in 1963. He is finishing work for the Ph.D. degree there.
Jones was the founder and director of the Gilbert and Sullivan Guild at Northwestern. Its first two major productions were given the past year. He is author of five major articles in professional journals on the works of the famous English librettist-composer team.
Campus Briefs
Large loan fund established here
A new loan fund of $83,000 has been established here by Mr. and Mrs. Clyde H. Voorhees in memory of their only child who died in an accident in 1921.
Mrs. Voorhees, a native of Leavenworth, graduated from KU in 1917. Her husband graduated from here four years and went on to receive his law degree from Yale.
They made their home in New Haven, Conn., where Mr. Voorhees was an attorney.
Business Dean makes final report
A business library in or near Summerfield Hall and improved private support are the two most pressing problems facing the School of business, Dean Joseph W. McGuire wrote in his final report to alumni.
Dean McGuire leaves after five years at KU to become dean of the College of Commerce and Business Administration at the University of Illinois July 1.
"The lack of convenient, wellorganized, and readily accessible library facilities is perhaps the one major force inhibiting scholarship in the school," Dean McGuire wrote.
HE CONCEDED the value of exercise derived in the climb from the bottom to the top of Mount Oread to Watson Library, "but to those of us who take this walk in freezing cold, blistering heat, or rain, sleet, and snow, the distance involved and the inconvenience tend to quench our thirst for knowledge."
