HEART PUMP possible
during cardiac surgery.
Sarpkaya: f I Students
Developing Metal Heart
Surgery Uses
Air Pressure
To Advantage
Persons suffering from
heart ailments may be able
to look forward to a better
chance of surviving a correc
tive operation as a result of
research being done in the en
gineering mechanics depart
ment here at the University.
Dr. T. Sarpkaya, professor
of engineering mechanics,
has been working with his stu
dents for the past year toward
the development of a me
chanical heart. When per
fected, it will be used to re
place the heart during sur
gery in which the action of
the heart must be stopped.
Although the machine is
presently in the experimental
stage and many problems re
main to be solved, progress
is being made toward the
development of a pump
which can be satisfactorily
used in a human operation.
Dr. Sarpkaya's mechanical
heart is made from plexiglass
and metal plates, and is as
sembled such that- air pass
ages called "ventricles" will
operate solely on air pressure
to produce the oscillations and
pressures required to dupli
cate the operation of the heart.
The machine contains no
parts other than the inlet
and outlet blood valves, and
the principles of fluid me
chanics account for its opera
tion. The absence of moving
parts is a definite improve
ment over previously de

Night Classes
Up Enrollment
Registrations for evening
classes at the Univeristy of
Nebraska are the highest
since 1956 and equal all-time
records set atfer World War
II.
Edor Ellingson, supervisor
of evening classes, said fall
registrations now total 2,245
compared to 1,708 a year ago.
' The registrations include
1,142 adults, those who are not
carrying 12 or more hours,
and 1,103 campus students
carrying 12 or more hours.
"The increase in adult reg
istrations apparently is due
to more interest in continu
ing educatio n," Ellingson
said.

substitute for human heart
signed pumps because it pro
duces a minimum or red
blood cell breakdown, called
'hemolises'. This problem has
been encountered by many
others who have attempted
to build suitable pumps. Dr.
Sarpkaya said.
Any machine which will be
used to replace the heart dur
ing an operation must match
the systolic and dyastolic
(high and low) pressures as
well as the heart beat rate.
Dr. Sarpkaya's model accom
plishes this by the use of air
control valves. The pump has
been used successfully in
actual tests on dogs for six
to eight hours at the school of
medicine in Omaha.
Despite the many advan
tages of the machine, there
are distinct problems pre
venting its commercial use,
he noted. The most serious of
these is matching the pump's
operation to the psychological
and mental conditions of the
patient. Changes in the pa
tient's condition during the
operations must be met with
readjustment of the pump
spontaneously.
As yet, It is difficult to ac
complish this adequately,
even though a variety of
monitors and guages are
used constantly during the
operation to record all
changes in the patient's
processes.
He said that if some type
of feedback system could be
employed to correlate the
psychological conditons of the
patient to the operation of the
pump, many of the existing
problems would be solved.

IFC Letter
Sets Aims
Of KAP's
A paper stating the aims and
purposes of Kappa Alpha
Psi, a University fraternity
laving the ground work for
admission to the Interfrater-
nity Council (IFC), was dis
tributed to IFC members at
their meeting Tuesday night.
Ulysses Brown, president of
the fraternity, will be present
at next week's meeting to dis
cuss the letter with the IFC.
Kappa Alpha Psi, founded
at the University of Indiana
on Jan. 5, 1911, follows the
purpose of achievement and
making college life meaning
ful to the student by creating
an atmosphere of brotherhood
for all mankind.
For these reasons, the frat
ernity has never denied mem
bership on the basis of color,
religion or national extraction.
On Nov. 15, 1916, Kappa Al
pha Psi founded the Eta chap
ter on the University campus.
Due to the fact that the num
ber of men graduaing exceed
ed those coming into the fold,
the chapter has been on the
verge of inactivation, the let
ter said. The reason this did
not take place is because the
Lincoln alumni were active in
keeping the fraternity records
and history.
The undergraduate member
ship has never been of the
size to warrant action for rec
ognition by the IFC. There is
now a pledge class of 35 men,
18 of which are formally
pledged into the pledge club
and the others waiting formal
pledging as soon as they have
the required 15 hours with a
grade of five or better. For ac
tive membership, the pledges
must have 30 credit hours
with a grade average of five.
The letter pointed out that
it is currently the purpose of
the fraternity to make itself
known to the University and
IFC. It stressed that the pur
pose is not to be known as a
segregated or discriminating
group due to the fact the
membership may be predom
inantly Negro on the Univer
sity campus. Of the 27,500
members in 242 active chap
ters of Kappa Alpha Psi, not
all members are Negroes.
Ted Scharfenstein, assistant
executive secretary for the Na
tional Pi Kappa Phi fraterni
ty, was introduced as a guest
of the IFC meeting by John
Stohlmann, president of Pi
Kappa Phi.

Army ROTC Reveals
Distinguished Students
According to Capt. Wes
Woolworth, assistant pro

A motion calling for an ex

table and withdrawn. The
motion concerned an oath that
University of Alabama stu

Private, state, and national

The $1,250,000 building was
made possible by. a large
grant of stock from the Behlen
manufacturing company. This
money will be added to funds
appropriated by the state of
Nebraska and will be matched
with an equal amount, up to

'Since the oath no longer
has enough application to be

Council Will Act
On Discount Idea
The Student Council yester
day accepted an action report
concerning a student discount
card for all students. Bob
Kerrey, student welfare
chairman,, said that the stu
dent welfare committee has
been investigating the possi
bilities of securing price dis
counts in local stores and has
found many stores would be
willing to go aong with it.
Cards will be distributed
to students at no charge and
will allow as much as 25 per
cent off at certain stores,
Kerry pointed out. Any store
may participate in the plan.
"We 'hope to have them
ready to go int effect by
second semester and to hand
out cards at registration,"
said Kerrey.
Dieted this fall, must be used
for research purposes only.
When finished, the isenien
lab will consist of five floors
and an underground acceler
ator room. Two of the floors
will also be below ground
level. However, the foun
dation was constructed so that
two more floors may be added
in the future.
The accelerator room will
h o u s e the Cockcroft Walton
accelerator, now located in
Brace Laboratory, and will
provide space for the addition
of another accelerator of
equal size. The sub-basement
will contain laboratories asso
ciated with the accelerator
plus space for atomic and
molecular ion studies with
some room for nuclear phys
ics research.
Most of the basement will
be an instrument and ma
chine shop and will be used to

These candidates were chos

be held at the dance from 8:30
to 10 p.m.
The Sigma Phi Epsilon com
bo will play for the dance, and
tickets are on sale now.
Tickets may be purchased
from any of the candidates or
at the Ag or City Student Un
idns. The price is $1 single or
$1.50 per couple.
The first floor above ground
will be devoted to research in
solid state physics and experi
mentation with X-rays.
Departmental offices, staff
offices, and an expanded li
brary will occupy the second
story. On the top story win
be the nuclear physics labora
tory, with space for possible
laser research, plus offices for
theoretical physicists.
The research that is now
being carried on and that will
be conducted in the Behlen
lab is of as high a quality
as that done anywhere in the
nation," said Dr. E. J. im
merman, chairman of physics
department.
"The primary limitation is
not in quality but in the fields
of research which are repre
sended here. The primary
need is to expand the research
program into some additional
areas which will provide a
wider range of research op
nnrtnniips for the graduate
j student," he said.
