ICBM Scores Hit With Engineers
Page 2
The engine, the second stage of a Titan I intercontinental ballistic missile, was obtained as surplus by the Mechanics and Aerospace Engineering department.
A one-ton missile engine saved from the scrap heap and brought to KU probably never will be fired.
Since the engine had been fired, the government did not want to put it in an operational missile. The manufacturer, Martin-Marietta Corp. of Denver, was ready to sell it for scrap when members of the aerospace department heard about it.
The engine is in good enough condition to be fired, but probably will not be fired at KU because of the cost, said Ammon Andes, professor of aerospace engineering.
The cost of this and other equipment, worth $2 million, was only the transportation from the surplus debits.
He estimated it would cost $100,000 to build the block house
GEM III Machine Goes to Engineers
A machine that travels over land and water on a cushion of air will be delivered to the Mechanics and Aerospace Engineering department in July.
The machine, donated by the office of Naval Research in Washington, D.C., for research performance, stability and control and vibrations tests.
Called the GEM III, or ground effect machine, the machine floats about a foot off the ground on a cushion of air produced by a turbine blower system.
The GEM III is steered and propelled by jets of air.
Ground effect machines, similar to the GEM III, when control and stability problems are solved, will be useful in crossing rough terrain and swampy areas, according to Ammon Andes, professor of aerospace engineering.
and protective embankments and set up the control panels.
In addition, the engine would cost $3,000 to $5,000 a minute to operate, Prof. Andes said.
Prof. Andes plans to use the engine as a teaching aid in a course on aerospace instrumentation.
He called the engine "an excellent piece of hardware to teach different rocket systems."

Students Attend NACURH Meet
Four delegates from KU will attend the annual conference of the National Association of College and University Residence Halls (NACURH) April 25-27 at the University of Arizona, Tucson.
Those attending will be Jim Tschechtelin, Shawnee mission sophomore; Pat Service, Kansas City junior; Virginia Schwanke, Overbrook junior, and Miss Caryl Kelley, resident director of Lewis and Hashinger Halls.
Twenty-four schools have been invited to attend. Research topics on common residence hall problems and activities have been prepared and will be presented by each school. KU's topic is "Greater Identification of NACURH with Your Campus."
A similar conference for the Midwestern region will be held at KU August 25-28. Tschechtelin, who is vice-president of the Midwest Association of College and University Residence Halls, is in charge of conference arrangements.
KU Golf Team Hosts Quadrangular Today
The Jayhawker golf team plays host to Kansas State, Nebraska and Oklahoma today in a quadrangular meet at the Lawrence Country Club.
of thrust at sea level, about $1 \frac{1}{2}$ times the combined power output of the four J-79 jet engines on the B-58 Hustler, the first bomber that flies more than 1,200 miles an hour.
Two sets of Titan launch simulators also recently acquired will be used to teach control, guidance, telemetry and navigation and can be used for research.
The Jayhawkers will welcome back the services of their number one man John Hanna, who was unable to compete in the team's victory over Wichita University Monday.
One set will be kept in the department and the other will go to the electrical engineering department.
Also obtained by the department are two small jet trainer engines. One will be set up in the test cell block at the Lawrence airport and the second will be used for spare parts.

KU Faces Important Baseball Series Against Kansas State
KU's pitching trio of Carl Nelson, Jerry Waldschmidt and Roger Brock are assigned the task of sweeping a three game series with Kansas State at Manhattan today and to-morrow.
The games are "musts" for the Jayhawkers' baseball hopes as KU's record now stands 2-4 in league competition. The Jayhawkers are not out of the title picture yet as last year's champion Missouri lost six games.
The Jayhawkers will return the services of their leading hitter, centerfielder Steve McGreevy, who missed the Washburn game due to a pulled muscle in Saturday's Nebraska encounter.
McGreevy is presently hitting .348. eight percentage points ahead of first baseman Dick Fanning.
Also returning to boost the Jayhawkers' personnel is last year's regular third baseman Dick Radar, who quit the squad before the first game. Coach Floyd Temple may use the Wichita senior in the outfield against the Wildcats as third base is being held down by Keith Kimerer.
The Wildcats are tied for sixth place in the Big Eight with Oklahoma State. Their record is 1-5.
