Grant to Study Water Pollution
The effects of chemicals in the water released from an upstream community's waste treatment plant upon the downstream city's water purification operation will be studied by a University of Kansas engineer in a 3-year project.
Raymond C. Loehr, associate professor of civil engineering, will be the chief investigator under a $50,260 contract from the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) with the KU Center for Research in Engineering Science.
PROF. LOEHR explained that little is known about the organic chemicals that are put into surface waters as part of the effluent from waste treatment plants. These chemicals frequently still exist in significant quantities at the intake of the downstream city's water treatment plant.
"Our goals are to determine the quantities and types of fats and greases that are not removed in conventional waste treatment facilities, and then to develop modifications of conventional methods to remove a greater amount of these organic compounds," Prof. Loehr said.
Preface to Enrollment
Orientation Aims to Cut Red Tape
Bv Linda Machin
Orientation of new students for the summer session is basically the same process as in the fall, said Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of students.
"The orientation is satisfactory for the summer session, however, it is more informal than in the fall," said Dean Woodruff.
THE MAIN difference, he explained, is that the student organizations which usually participate in orienting the new student are not functioning in the summer.
"However, I encourage the students to take part in the orientation next fall that is left out this summer so that they will get better acquainted with the University," he continued.
DEAN WOODRUFF was referring to events such as water melon feeds, picnics and other activities sponsored independently by campus organizations such as the All Women's Association (AWS), CWENS — an honorary sophomore women's association —, campus political organizations, University Party (UP) and Vox
Populi (Vox), the Student Union Association (SUA) and the KU-Y.
Dean Woodruff spoke to 190 new undergraduate students June 6 at a convocation preceding the first placement examinations.
The new students included freshman as well as sophomore, junior, and senior transfer students. A second series of placement examinations were given in the afternoon. The orientation ended that evening with a meeting in Bailey Hall of the students with their deans.
A SPOKESMAN from the guidance bureau, which was in charge of administering the examinations, said that the tests are not screening devices for admission. The results are to be used only in an advisory capacity — that is, to assist the advisors and the students in making out a schedule of courses.
The examinations, which included English, reading, comprehension, mathematics, linguistics and general scholastic aptitude tests were given in the large lecture room of Lindley Hall.

Two graduating seniors from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences demonstrated at commencement exercises that they face the world equipped with ingenuity as well as "book learning."
The students' conferences with their deans at 7:00 p.m. was a necessary pre-enrollment procedure, Dean Woodruff explained.
"The deans of the different divisions of the University such as Engineering and Pharmacy met with students entering their schools and explained requirements and otherwise simplified the red tape of enrollment," Dean Woodruff said.

As they crossed the rostrum at Memorial Stadium to receive their diplomas, they handed Chancellor W. Clark Wescoe with a little present—the KU flag which should have been flying atop Fraser Hall.
No explanation was offered as to how they got to the north tower; access is blocked by several locked doors.
