Sound Effects of 18th Century America Included on Stroll Through Williamsburg
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — (UPI)—Visitors to Colonial Williamsburg now can hear as well as see American life as it was in the 18th century, thanks to 20th century ingenuity.
Faculty Role In Economic Growth Told
KANSAS CITY — Salesmanship plus faculties willing to tackle the complexities of applied research with the coordinated backing of their administrations and state governments are the determinants of the contribution universities can make to economic growth.
This was a leading idea of Prof. Ross E. McKinney, chairman of the civil engineering department at The University of Kansas, who addressed the Midwest Governors Conference on Economic and Industrial Development here June 22.
Dr. McKinney spent 10 years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology when science-based industry was making great strides in the Boston area.
"EXAMINATION of the faculty at MIT who have made significant contributions to economic growth would show that they all had a desire to produce something useful to society and that they were willing to seek out those businessmen who could make their ideas come alive," Dr. McKinney said. "They did not wait for industry to come to them, but rather they went to industry."
The university administration is almost as critical as the faculty in determining the contribution to growth, he continued.
Teaching loads should be lower for those faculty members actively participating in regional activities, he stated.
THE STATE and the universities must coordinate their efforts aimed at economic development and the latter must provide adequate financial backing.
"It is unrealistic to expect the universities to produce significant contributions without furnishing the universities the resources necessary to produce the results," Dr. McKinney continued.
Dr. McKinney called for better coordination in the use of federal research funds and the molding of healthy regional economics.
It isn't difficult to see why faculty members prefer $50,000-a-year research projects with federal agencies to work on anything the faculty member desires in contrast to $5,000-a-year research projects with small industries within a state, Dr. McKinney commented.
THE SPEAKER explained that Midwestern efforts in economic development should be geared to agriculture and agriculturally oriented industries, as "these are the things that are unique to the Midwest and which can be used as a base for growth."
He did not, however, exclude industrial potentialities for which the land, water, labor supply and central transportation networks are fitted.
Dr. McKinney concluded with this statement, "It is essential that the universities obtain and retain top faculty who can and do contribute to regional activities."
Music by Johnson In Carillon Album
Music by a University of Kansas piano professor is included in a two-record LP album of carillon music written for the dedication of the Gloria in Execelcis tower of the Washington. D.C., Cathedral.
Roy Hamlin Johnson of KU is represented by his "Te Deum Laudamus," composed by invitation for the occasion. The composition is a set of variations on a medieval tune. The cathedral also has published the piece.
Among the other composers represented in the dedicatory album are Samuel Barber, John LaMontaine and Leo Sowerby. Ronald Barnes, for 12 years carillonneur at KU, is the performing artist.
The sound effects are provided in a 50-minute Acoustiguide tour recently inaugurated at this restored capital of Colonial Virginia.
Furnished with a lightweight tape playback machine equipped with small earphones, visitors are guided on a tour of approximately two-thirds of a mile through the heart of Williamsburg's historic area.
DURING THE TOUR, the present seems to fade away and the visitor can truly imagine himself strolling through 18th century Williamsburg. One hears the beat of drums, the blast of the cannon at the public magazine; an organ concerto at Bruton Parish Church; an air from the Beggar's Opera at the site of the First Theater; a rousing colonial song from Chowning's Tavern.
The tape also provides interesting facts about various places along the route; cautions the listener to cut off the narration when crossing streets; and even directs him to a bench under a shade tree near the Governor's Palace to take a breather if so desired.
THE PLAYBACK machine weighs about 40 ounces and is carried by a shoulder strap similar to a camera bag. (It rents for 50 cents for one person, 75 cents for a couple.) The narration can be controlled — a switch turns it off or on.
A route map of the tour through Market Square and Palace Green is provided with each machine. Nearly all the buildings noted during the tour are original structures, the tourist learns. These include the homes of Washington's dentist; Jefferson's law teacher; 18th century Mayor Thomas Everard; and Peyton Randolph, Speaker of the House of Burgesses. Other historic sites are those where Washington planned the Yorktown campaign; where Rochambeau lived and where Lafayette spoke to a cheering crowd nearly 50 years after his participation in the American Revolution.
ON MARKET SQUARE, an auction can be heard and one learns that 200 years ago he could have purchased a rabbit there to make a savory Brunswick stew. He is told of the careful planning given the town when it was laid out—that Gov. Francis Nicholson sought to develop "a green country town with broad open spaces and peaceful vistas."
The Acoustiguide listener hears about oyster marl paths; learns that the First Theater may be reconstructed some day as an operating theater; and hears a recording of
He is Prof. Bent Christiansen, head of the department of mathematics at the State College for Teachers in Copenhagen.
He gave a public lecture yesterday on "The Teaching of Geometry in Grades 7 to 9 in Denmark" and will speak at 4 p.m. today on "The Educational System of Denmark." The talk will be in 411 Summerfield.
Danish Teacher Speaks at KU
A Danish mathematician is visiting scientist here through today, giving two public lectures in addition to appearances before the National Science Foundation-sponsored institute for high school and college teachers of mathematics.
Prof. Christiansen's appearance was arranged by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He is one of 13 distinguished foreign scientists brought to the United States to lecture at NSF-sponsored institutes this summer.
PARIS — (UPI) — The government has enlisted the aid of military air traffic controllers to try to keep flights operating to and from Paris despite a three-day-old strike by civilian controllers.
Aid Sought by French In Face of Air Strike
A transport ministry statement said the flow of traffic would improve as military controllers gradually took over the strikers' duties. But French pilots, stewardesses and flight crews threatened to strike in sympathy in a move which would ground Air France flights completely.
the late John D. Rockefeller Jr., as he tells in 1932 that he supported the restoration of Williamsburg because he felt it was "hallowed ground."
RETURNING TO THE Courthouse of 1770 to turn in the tape machine, the visitor hears the strains of "God Save Great Washington" played by fifes and drums—a tune adapted from "God Save The King" when the colonies broke from England.
The final installment involves the arrival of a post-rider with news of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The bells of the College of William and Mary, Bruton Parish Church and the Capitol ring out the news and a brief excerpt of the document is read.
Although the summer college student here at the University may not take part in actual NCAA competition, he can play an active part in the KU summer intramural program.
Among the activities offered are tennis, badminton, horseshoes, golf, handball, and swimming. In each activity except swimming, there is a league set-up and a tournament played.
Intramural Activities to Open
The tournaments start today and run until July 10. The rules are supplied by the physical education department at Robinson Gymnasium. After each contest, the results must be turned in to the office and then standings are posted.
Swimming at the pool in the building is set up by various organizations. The different organized houses and dorms have certain specified hours in which they have access to the pool.
