The civil engineers' contri
bution to Engineer's Week
will be a wide variety of ed
ucational displays.
All the displays will be
shown by students who will
explain their operation and
use in the engineering pro
fession. Included are displays in
the fields of sanitation, hy
dralics, highways, surveying,
soils and structures.
In addition, the civil engi
neering curriculum of the
University will be shown in
a display consisting of all
textbooks used in courses.
Storm Run-Off
Two displays are being
constructed concerning sani
tation. The first is an insert
ed siphon, used in controlling
storm run-off and allowing
flow beneath streams or un
derground obstructions.
The main display in hy
draulics will be an experi
ment showing the character
istics of water flowing under
different velocities. Another
experiment is t h e hydraulic
"jump" which is an unex
plained natural phenomenon
where water flowing in an
open flume makes an abrupt
rise due to retarded flow.
The principles used in dis
posing of sewer gas will also
be shown as part of sanita
tion. The highway display will
shown the location of a num
ber of different types oJ
bridges and their design.
Models of bridges construc
ed in the past and present will
be displayed.
Another highway display
will show the location of pro
posed routes of the Interstate
Highway through the country.
Structural design and con
struction will show the design
and properties of typical
concrete and steel construc
tion members.
The use of tilt-up construc
tion will show the advance
ments made in the field of
structers. By using tilt-up
construction, concrete walls
may be constructed on the
ground and raised into place.
The soils display will show
the effect of controlling seep
age and flow of water by the
use cf admixtures in the
soil.
An extensive display of sur
veying as used in distance
measurement will be shown
accompanied by a short film
concerned with optical tools.
A display illustrating how
the Corps of Engineer 's
worked on the flood control
of the Missouri River will
show a working model of

Ever wondered how the
man in the electric c h a i
feels when that switch
pulled?
Ever watched yourself act
ing on TV?
Or scon a woman obey un
hesitatingly a command?
The electrical engineering
displays show these things as
they attempt to reveal the
correlation between the ele
ments of electricity and the
importance of engineering in
our modern world.
Sit in 'Chair'
You can sit in an electrical
chair that sends a half mil
lion volts through a human
being and walk away un
harmed. A closed-circuit television
allows you to watch yourself
act.
A w oman mannequin
mounted on wheels and driv

As a special part of the
E-Week activities designed to
interest high school students
in engineering, some 500 high
schoolers will go on tours this
year.
Lincoln Air Force Base,
Cushman Motor Works, the
Lincoln Journal-Star Printing
Co. and KOLN-TV are coop
erating with the tours com
mittee, according to Dennis
Johnston.
LAFB Biggest
Lincoln Air Force Base is
billed as putting on the "big
gest" show for tne high school
ers. One hundred fifty stu
dents will inspect a B-47 and
KC-97, watch a judo demon
stration, and will tour the base
in general. As a grand finale
to this tour, a meal will be
served on the base for the
students.
At Cushman, the entire op
eration of assembling a motor
scooter from the drawing
board to the foundry, to the
assembly to the finished
scooter, will be demonstrated.
At the Lincoln Journal-Star
the students will be taken on !
a complete tour of that plant.
Beginning with the hubbub of
the city desk in the newsroom,
they will then be shown the
linotype machines, the setting
up of pages and finally the op

Winner of Coveted Overall Trophy
For two or three months
before E-Wcek, an air of
smug secrecy begins to be
come prevalent among the
men who wear the slide rules.
Thai's when each depart
ment begins mapping what it
hopes will net it the coveted
E-Weck overall trophy.
That's the time when me
chanical engineers stop talk
ing to civil engineers about
anything closer to campus
than the Indonesian sitation,
and when the lads from
Architecture begin hid
ing their drawings from the
chemical engineers.
This is an important part
of E-Week as it exists to the
students. It is the competi
tion between the different de
partments making up the
College of Engineering.
Each year the departments
compete in six different
phases of judging to deter
mine the overall winner. The
paper press.
KOLN-TV has arranged
their tour, "Backstage TV,"
so that students can see the
electronic marvels that make
a television show.
Guides for tours have been
chosen from each of the engi
neering departments so high
schoolers will have opportuni
ties to question persons en
gaged in all branches of cngi-:

year will be the radio-linkage

six phases of competition
arc; window displays, opc:i
house displays, E-Wcck ban
quet sales, E-Ribbon sales,
Held day, and Blue Print
Sales.
Of these six, window dis-
! plays and open-house displays
are judged by Lincoln busi
ness and professional men.
Results of the other four
phases are obtained from the
sales results at the end of
the selling campaings and
from the points won in field
day.
This year, for judging the
displays, six laymen and
three technical men w ill serve
as judges. The laymen are
people with varied education
al backgrounds while the
technical men are those who
have had training in engi
neering. Their identity is not
disclosed.
Window displays are judged
for drawing power, initia
tive, clarity, and attractive
ness, conformity to curricu
presentation. The judging of the thres
"sales" events are on the'
quantity sold and the per
capita basis. Because the size
of the departments range
from 45 up to 300, the distri
bution of places is account
ed for by both quantity and
by the average number sold
per student, thus giving more
equal competition.
Field day results are ob
tained from the results of the
sports and competitive events
held in connection with "Field
Day."
