Page 4 The Nebraskan Wednesday, April 26, 1961 Engineerrdmise Inf or motive E-Week Seven departments in the College of Engineering and Architecture are busily pre- oaring displays which will be featured in E-Week which be gins tomorrow. AGRICULTURAL Thursday's E-VVeek Open House will find several varied and representative demon- strations from the Agricul tural Engineering depart- ment located on the practice field, west of Avery Lao. Two of the power and ma c h i n e r y demonstrations planned will place emphasis on the machine's operator. A full-scale tractor upset will be staged to emphasize opera tor safety, and show how eas ily improper hitching can cause a serious accident. Another display will be con eerned with measuring, by means of and accelerometer, the effects of rough field con ditions upon the operator, ac cording to Ag display chair men Carl Bern and Darrell Bishop.

A portable dynamometer will be set up and used to determine the power take-off and horse power output of the display tractor. In addition to the mechani cal displays, said Bishop, the soil and water division will display the University's mini mum tillage machinery. Agricultural Engineering is involved with such things as atomic energy, electricity, electronics, machines, new construction materials, mois ture transfer and evaporation, handling chemicals, handling plant materials, land shaping and water control systems. A knowledge of both pure and applied science is required of the graduates of this depart ment, j ARCIIITEC- I TURAL FOR SALE Rooftop T.V. Antenna. See and make offer, call HE 5-9104.

AN UNPAID TESTIMONIAL Sculpture, painting and pot tery displays will supplement L-week displays in Architec tural Hall, according to pro ject chairman Dick Robinson. The displays, based on the idea of "Good design a function of beauty plus util ity," are to include exhibi tions by students, faculty and practicing Nebraska architects. Visitors to the Hall will find the entrance emphasized by a wood and cord canopy over the walk. As they pass through the main hall, architectural mod els and other work by stu dents and professional archi tects will be on display. An architecture student at the University participates in two main types of projects: original projects of his own, and studies of the works of famous architects. One of the department's most well-known projects is the fifth-year program in its curriculum. A student who enters this program goes far beyond the fundamentals of architecture by means of a three-point program: (1) an intense and exacting assignment, such as a bus terminal; (2) an as signment which stretches the student's imagination, such as the design of a village in the Amazon Basin; and (3) an assignment closely tied to the immediate surroundings of Lincoln, usually reproduction of some local example of in- teresting architecture. j CHEMICAL I The chemical engineering j department plans to show the public some of the more in j teresting phenomena which jmay be developed by chem jical intuition at the E-Week ' open house Thursday. Poker chins and n v 1 n n thread will be made by poly merzation (making chains of i molecules out of single ones). (A process for making rayon which is similar to the above and some foam polymers will also be shown. A radio will be operated on the energy supplied by oxygen and hydrogen as it is converted to electrical ener gy in a fuel cell. A small bit of material (mercury) which is ordinar ily used in thermometers has been recreated into a pulsat ing human heart and will be shown at the open house. The department of chemi cal engineering, headed by Prof. James H. Weber, is not only one of the newest fields of engineering study but also one of the most lucrative. The program in the de partment is designed to pre- pare stuaents tor worn in uie chemical processs, tne petro leum, and petrochemical in dustries, certain phases of atomic energy held, and grad uate study. Graduate chemical engi neers engage in a variety of activities in the numerous in dustries cited above. Some of the more important areas of work are production, sales, market development, proc ess design and development, research and management. The individual courses of fered by the department cov er such topics as material and. energy balances, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, dis tillation, absorption, thermo dynamics, kinetics process and process engineering ec onomics. rhpmical engineering, as a profession, has for a num ber of years been research oriented. This is true be cause most of the early chemical engineers were trained as chemist and chem ical engineering is a rapidly changing and expanding field. CIVIL All civil engineering dis plays for E-Week are to be based on a study of Trenton Dam, 22 miles west of Mc Cook, according to one of the project co-ordinators, Dan Grubb. The history of this reclama tion project showed problems which had called on virtually all branches of civil engineer ing for solutions. A six foot square model and other devices are de signed to display those branches at work. Visitors to the displays will first be shown a general view of the project, including aer ial photos, and then observe the exhibits which demon strate the individual prob lems, Grubb said. These problems included the building of the dam it self, moving the entire town of Trenton and some major highways and railroads, which involved new water and sewage systems for the' rebuilt town, watershed plan ning tor maximum recie- Sartors 1200 "O" Stroet Ekiurd the lion-Hearted says: 1 (ittuld ntvtt um samtiimi Inland JfFdhad Jockeu A omum m support Cmon, Dick!

This last aspect involves "very spectacular" display Grubb stated. It is a demon stration of a phenomenon called "hydraulic jump," in which water actually seeks a higher elevation because of its inertia. ELECTRICAL ' On display at the electrical engineering building will be a walking, talking robot, display on guided missiles and a short-wave radio set up to communicate between the electrical engineering and Military and Naval Science buildings. A display on direct-dis tance dialing, loaned by the Telephone Company, will also be set up. A closed-circuitv, television set will be installed to allow visitors to see themselves on television. On display also will be smaller exhibits which are the result of weeks of work by individual students. The electrical engineering department at the University has initiated a new bio-med ical program which has re ceived very favorable re sponse from industry and University associated medi cal centers. According to Professor Robert Combs, director 6f the program, the University is one of two schools in the nation which has this type of program in medical electron ics. The program is designed to promote better- communica tion between the engineer specialist and the medical science specialist. MECHANICAL A relatively new area of interest to the mechanical en gineer, nuclear engineering, will be one of the displays shown by that department during E-Week. "This display model will feature a nuclear reactor in operation at Shippingport, Pa. The display will also try to give the public some idea of the problems that this new field has posed to the engi neer, but at the same time it will attempt to show how rel atively sate nuclear power power is," said Bill Scheffel, mechanical engineering pub licity chairman. Industry has found many uses for radioactive tracers which are both unique and varied, he said. A few of the ideas will be portrayed in that display. The missile display show ing models of various types of missiles and their launch ing sites, will be a major interest to most visitors. A cut-away model of the i'silo" type lunch site will show the underground fea tures of the sites which are now under construction in the Lincoln-Omaha vicinity. "A unique musical lathe and what we feel is a very fine air conditioning display will also be set up," said Scheffel. A display indicating the major articles of the mechan ical engineer's code of ethics will be set up in Richards Hall for public view. "Mechanical engin- neers have writted a code of ethics by which he governs his own conduct toward the general public, his employer and fellow engineers, said Scheffel. Among the other displays this year are some of the areas of industry and defense in which the mechanical en gineer playS an important role. One such area us auto motive engineering. This dis play will show the engineer! has helped to develop the present day high speed, high performance automobile. ENGINEERING MECHANICS The 'Engineering Mechanics department offers for this year's E-Week a variety of displays associated with the field of engineering mechan ics. The features include com pression tests on concrete and tin cans, column tests on wood beams, gyroscopic displays, a reproduction display set up to reproduce various guests names by the use of a Leroy set, several freshman draw ings and other displays involv ing kinematics and machine design. The displays will be located throughout Bancroft Hall. , The use of an analog com puter will be featured in the E. M. department. The ease of use and the "unbelievable" speed of solving problems promises to leave guests and visitors "problemless". A strain gauge apparatus will be set up to weigh guests as they come through the open house. A hollow balsa beam, con taining a gyroscope similar to ones used in the missile field, will appear ixi a Miller and Paine window producing a negative gravity effect dur ing E-Week. quentins 1229 R St. town & campui HE 2-3645 The ivord is hopsacking!

I Animal Husbandry Major I DEAR ANIMAL I'm afraid not To make TV now- I adays, you've got to have an act that's really different. After all, there are millions of Lucky ( smokers. I DEAR DR. FROOD: I am a full professor and yet I stay awake nights worrying about my abil ity to teach today's bright young college stu dents. They ask questions I can't answer. They write essays I don't understand. They use com plicated words that I've never heard before. How can I possibly hope to win the respect of students who are more learned than I am? Profestor DEAR PROFESSOR: I always maintain that noth ing impresses a troublesome student like the sharp slap of a ruler across his outstretched palm. DEAR DR. FROOD: I have calculated that if the population explosion continues at its present rate, there will be a person for every square foot of earth by the year 2088. What do you think of that?

FROOD: You can tell your readers for me that college is a waste of time. My friends who didn't go to college are making good money now. And me, with my new diploma? I'm making peanuts! Angry Grad DEAR ANGRY: Yes, but how many of your friends can do what you can do instantly satisfy that overpowering craving for a peanut. . DEAR DR. FROOD: Could you give a word of advice to a poor girl who, after four years at college, has failed to get herself invited on a single date? Miss Miserable DEAR MISS: Mask? THE RECRUITERS ARE COMING! THE RECRUITERS ARE COMING! And here's Frood to tell you just how to handle them: These representatives of big business are, on the whole, alert fellows. They may be aware that college students smoke more Luckies than any other regular. Let them know that you know what's up offer them a Lucky, then tap your cranium knowingly.
