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 scale model Case steam
powered tractor will be in
operation during the Open

House. The 1961 model steam
powered tractor will show the
progress in tractor design,
Bern said.
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

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

The surveying and soil
studies required, the rfconom
ic studies needed to deter
mine the financial feasability
of such a project, and the
hydraulics involved in put
ting the water to use.
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.

' or. prood's thouoht poR THi DAY: A little learning can
be a dangerous thing especially in a multiple-choice exam.
t DEAR OR. FROOD: I have been training our
collega mascot, a goat. He has learned how to
I open a pack of Luckies, take out a cigarette,
I light up and smoke. Do you think I can get
'i him on a TV show?
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?
Statistics Major
DEAR STATISTICS: Well, one thing's sure, that will finish off the hula
hoopers once and for all.

DEAR DR. 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. Remember today' Lucky smoker could be tomorrow's Chairman of the Board.
