Wescoe to Open Exposition Friday
Several Kansas legislators, and many unique projects will highlight the 43rd annual Engineering Exposition to be held Friday and Saturday.
HE WILL cut the ribbon at the entrance, constructed by the architectural engineering department and entitled "Discontinuous Compression Structures." The display is a 30 foot structure outside the field house.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescos will officially open the program with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 9 a.m. Friday at Allen Field House.
Guests expected for the ceremony and the entire exposition include Joseph Shea, representative from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Washington, D.C. Shea is working with America's manned flight to the moon, Project Apollo, which is the theme of this year's exposition.
Sen. Frank Carlson and Kansas legislators including Rep. William Avery are also expected to attend. Representatives from large industries will also be present.
THE MEN will ride in the Kansas Relays Parade which will be in progress the same day. The parade will start at 10 a.m. on Massachusetts Ave.
The various departments of the School of Engineering will vie for one of three trophies which will be presented at a banquet Saturday night.
Chancellor Wescoe will make the awards in two categories. The Engineering Council will award two trophies, one for the most original display and one for the most academic display.
A third trophy will be awarded by Tau Sigma, honorary engineering fraternity, for the best display.
The Engineering Banquet will be open to the public and will be in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union.
DOORS WILL remain open at the Field House from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Friday. Saturday's hours are 9-12 a.m.
Kirk Bond, Gladstone, Mo., senior and chairman of the exposition, said it will include a full-scale mock-up of the Mercury space capsule. It will include an escape tower and recovery package. The display will be 32 and a half feet high and will weight 2,000 pounds.
He said all projects will be directed toward the space program. For example, the industrial department will illustrate the instruments used in space capsules. The display will be in what appears to be a floating room, suspended five feet above floor level. One will reach it via black-painted steps, for further effect, and listen to stereo sound effects.
THE MECHANICAL engineers will present a display entitled "Moon Buggies," vehicles that use a cushion of air for locomotion. Bond explained that the vehicle "floats" on four cushions of air as might be imagined on a swivel chair. He said the display is a mode of transportation to be used on the planet Venus.
