John A. Landgrebe, a member of the University of Kansas chemistry faculty for eight years, will become chairman of that department September 1.
He will succeed Jacob Kleinberg, chairman the past seven years, who asked relief so he might return to teaching and research. The department of chemistry is one of the largest in the University, both in undergraduate and graduate teaching loads.
Landgrebe, who has been serving as associate chairman of the department, came to KU as assistant professor in 1962, the year he received the Ph.D. degree from the University of Illinois. He had earned the B.Sc. degree three years earlier at the University of California at Berkeley. His professors there described him as the best chemist they had seen in a decade. He was promoted to associate professor in 1967.

Practical training in psychological research methods will fill the 1970-71 academic year for 10 predoctoral students in social psychology.
The ten will be trainees under a program which has been funded for the 13th year by a $76,807 grant from the National Institute of Mental Health.
Howard Baumgartel, professor of psychology and program director, said the trainees will work as assistants on research projects of KU faculty members.

Six University of Kansas graduate students in the School of Social Welfare will undertake field work in correctional institutions this fall as part of their training for full-time work in such agencies.
The training program is supported for an eighth year by a $32,954 grant from the National Institute of Mental Health. The grant provides funds for partial teaching salaries and for trainee stipends and University fees.
In the program each student trains for two consecutive years as a social worker under the instruction of a KU staff member. This year, Ray R. Price, assistant professor of social welfare, will instruct the students.
Arthur Katz, dean of the School of Social Welfare, said the students, all candidates for the master's degree, will be working in several correctional institutions in the metropolitan Kansas City area. In addition to counseling in the juvenile court system, they will work in jails and youth training schools.

William W. Hambleton, state geologist and director of the State Geological Survey at the University of Kansas, has been appointed to the special panel on disposal in salt mines of the Committee on Radioactive Waste Management of the National Academy of Sciences.
According to announcement by Philip Handler, president of the National Academy of Sciences, the panel is being established to review and evaluate the concept of long-term storage of solid radioactive wastes in salt mines and to advise the Atomic Energy Commission.
Hambleton's appointment to the study panel is considered significant in the light of the AEC's proposal to place radioactive wastes in an old salt mine near Lyons.

Chemist marries,turns actor
MONACO (UPI) — Marianne Hold is a very beautiful girl and Frederick Stafford worked so hard getting her to marry him—it took a week from the moment they met—he did not have time to inquire into her background.
"I was shaving on our honey-moon," he said, "when she came in with a newspaper carrying her photograph. An actress! I nearly cut my throat. All I knew about actresses was drugs, drinks and love affairs."
All this took place in Bangkok. Then a bouquet of orchids arrived from a French producer who had witnessed the whirlwind romance and wanted to buy them a drink as well on the ground he had rooted Stafford home.
physique with professional interest.
Over the drink the producer suddenly examined Stafford's handsome, six-foot, three-inch
"You need a psychiatrist." Stafford retorted cheerfully. He was a doctor of chemistry and a dealer in chemical supplies.
"You ought to be in pictures," he said.
"I want you for my next film," the producer insisted.
"I took his card to keep him qdiet and said I would look him up some day," said Stafford. "Marianne and I were going to Saigon but due to the situation there we went to the Mideast and eventually Paris and there, at Fouquet's one day, he was.
"I've got a script," he said. "Are you ready?"
"I'm not an actor," I said.
"You are, but you don't know it," he said, adding shrewdly, "We're filming this one in Rio."
"Well, I hadn't been to Rio, so I accepted and here I am."
Where is he? He has starred in two highly successful films as "O.S.S. 117"—a continental adventurer in the James Bond mould. Alfred Hitchcock was so impressed he flew over and signed him for "Topaz." Now Stafford is reported to be on the very short list to become the new real James Bond in the next film of that cycle, "Diamonds are Forever."
Stafford, who is is Czech-born but carries an Australian passport—he left his homeland in 1948—would like the Bond role but emphasizes he has not been asked and that even if it does not happen he has contracts for several other films in Europe and Hollywood.
Miss Hold, a Polish-Austrian dazzler, has given up her own
film career for the moment to help her husband. What's her explanation for his switch from chemistry?
"Scratch any man and you'll find an actor," she said. "Ask any girl."
