Cold, Dark Storeroom Becomes Lab
By WENDY ROGERS
When surroundings are
dark and gloomy, you must
not complain and do nothing.
Simply light a small candle,
and when everyone else does,
the building will be lighted
and people can see w ha t
they are doing.
In a quiet, unassuming
manner, a native of Turkey,
Dr. Turgut Sarpkaya, profes
sor of engineering mechan
ics, illustrated his philosophy
which underlies the develop
ment of a modern hydrody
namics lalwratory on the Uni
versity campus.
. From a cold, dark storage
room in the basement of Ban
croft Hall has emerged a
modern hydrodynamics lab
oratory with highly special
teed, expensive equipment.
In slightly .more than two
years, Dr. Sarpkaya has re
ceived approximately $70,000
in grants from. the National
Science Foundation (NSF) and
the U.S. Army Research Of
fice. Funds
Coupled with $12,00fl from
.the University, appropriated
for construction of the lab
oratory itself, the funds have
resulted in aid for some 11!

The 17th annual Institute in
Social Casework, sponsored by
the University of Nebraska
Graduate School of S o c i a 1
Work, will be held at 9a.m.
today and tomorrow at the Ne
braska Center for Continuing
Education.
The institute has been plan
ned to meet the need of prac
ticing social workers, who
have completed at least one
year of graduate education in
social work, to continue their
education.
The topic this year is "-Social
Services in Behalf of
Children Living in Their Own
Homes." It will help parents
find ways to improve child
care by providing experiences
in family and community liv
ing required for healthy
growth and development.

group will elect a new secre

Four PhD candidates in
fluid mechanics are working
at present in the laboratory
in addition to candidates for
masters degrees.
The laboratory, begun in
July, I960, with the assist
ance of Merk Hobson, dean
of the College of Engineering
and Prof. Emerald Marme,
chairman of the dept. of engi

Water Tunnel
A vertical water tunnel,1
for which the materials cost
$2,500, was part of the equip

The laboratory now con

electrical equipment, and as
progressive stages of the 3
year NSF grant and 3 year
Army grant are reached, i
some $5-$6,000 more will be
spent for equipment. j

saved by Sarpkaya and his
graduate degree candidates is
a mechanism for study of
wave motion in harbors.
List price for the equip
ment is $1,500. Sarpkaya and
his assistants built the mech
anism using only $120 in con
struction materials, plus un
countable hours of labor.
No Floor
The original storeroom had
no usable floor, windows,
light, heat, electricity, water
or piping system.
. As workmen sandblasted
the walls to complete the lab,
Sarpkaya and his assistants
worked steadily with a hand
kerchief over their face.
The $36,000 Army grant,
which will allow expansion of
work in the laboratory, was
awarded to Sarpkaya recently
for investigation of the mech
anism of turbulence genera
tion in pulsating viscous
flows.
Equpiment obtained through
grant money will remain prop

after the 3 year projects are
completed.

"In this way, these groups
contribute to graduate educa

Sarpkaya.

An unusual fact in construc
tion of the laboratory is that,
per cubic foot, construction
cost approximately one-fifth
that of other laboratories and
space in buildings on the NU
campus.
When Dr. Sarpkaya arrived
at the University in 1957, no
advanced courses were of
fered in fluid mechanics. He
began offering these ad
vanced courses, and more
students began enrolling in
them and working for their
master's degrees.
With construction of the
laboratory and its facilities,
came the first PhD candidate
in fluid mechanics.
Major Purpose
"The major purpose of a
grant," said Sarpkaya, "is to
enable students to work on
their degrees who otherwise
