UK Chemistry Department Draws Its Share Of Grants "The facilities of the new Chemistry-Physic- s building have helped a great deal to procure research grants for University chemistry professors," said Dr. Lyle R. Dawson, head of the chemistry department. In the past 12 to 14 years, Dr. Dawson said, the chemistry department has received more than $750,000 from out of state research grants. Dawson was the first UK chemistry professor to receive such a grant in 1946 for research. Approximately 18 grants, totaling about $100,000, are received yearly for fundamental research by UK professors. The chemistry department emphasizes fundamental work, which may be published in national Journals, rather than developmental research in testing. The research grants are given by such organizations as the Atomic Energy Commission, National Institute of Health, Army Signal Corps, and the National Science Foundation. Dr. James E. Douglass, assistant professor of chemistry, received a National Science Foundation grant of $19,400 to conduct research in a specific area of boron chem'istry. The grant provides a two year support for his project. Dr. Douglass hopes to learn more of the effects of boron In organic compounds, mainly amine complexes. Dr. Hartley C. Eckstrom, another UK chemistry Dean Carter Visits Ford Among 51 professors at Ford Motor Company's 1963 Engineering Forum in Dearborn, Mich., June is Willis M. Carter, professor and head. Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Kentucky. Prof. Carter (left) is shown with H. L. Misch, Ford vice president engineering and research, examining a model of the Mustang, Ford's experimental sports car. professor, is now attending the Oordon Research Conference on Catalysis at Colby Junior College in New Hampshire. He will discuss his research in the field of infrared studies of chemisorbic molecules on metal surfaces. Dr. Eckstrom is supported at the University by a research contract from the Atomic Energy Commission. An associate chemistry professor, Dr. William D. Ehmann, will present a paper describing his research in radiochemistry in London, England, July 15. He will lecture to groups attending the Congress of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. includes lectures and Dr. Ehmann's visits to several laboratories in Germany, Switzerland, and France, is sponsored by the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. Dr. William F. Wagner is presently attending the Gordon Research Conference on the chemistry and physics of space, being held at Tilton, New Hampshire. Delegates are from the United States and other parts of the world. Better facilities, equipment and more space have encouraged many chemistry graduates to study at the University, Dr. Dawson believes. "We now have 5 between graduate students in chemistry and hope to have several more in the fall," Dr. Dawson commented. DSN"W Effi TT University of Kentucky 1963 Vol. LIV, No. 118 LEXINGTON, Four Pages KV., FRIDAY, JULY 5, Economics Institute Conducted On Campus Program In French Held Here Approximately 48 high school teachers from 13 southern states are registered for a summer fellowship program in economic education, sponsored by the University of Kentucky College of Commerce and the General Electric corp. The program began at UK June 23 and continues through Aug 2. Its purpose is to help develop a broader understanding of economics and its applications to the problems of government, business and society. Program sessions will deal with the application of economic analysis to national and international economic problems, the application of economic analysis to business problems, and a comparison of economic thought in this and other nations. The main emphasis will be on the development of economic analysis and on economic policy rather than on how to teach economics to students. Five UK professors are serving as the faculty for the program. They are Virgil Christian, W. Warren Haynes, Rodman Sullivan, John T. Masten and Las-zl- o Zsoldos. Grants from the General Electric Foundation cover full tuition and fees, books and course material, room and board and travel allowances. Participants are from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Tex- - as, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and West Virginia. LSU Agrees To Play UK Negroes &L. ii -- Athletic director James Cor-beof Louisiana State University said Tuesday that he sees no reason why the LSU football team cannot play the University. jtz Vs. tt UK has adopted a policy of allowing Negroes to participate in athletics, out has not recruited any yet. Corbett made the comment after he attended a closed LSU board session. Corbett said the matter of Kentucky using Negro athletes had not been mentioned. ) Ail XlZewyCOP' Zj Progress On the Chisholm Trail Although It does not appear that much progress has been made on the long dusty strip that used to be the end of South Limestone and Rose, they at least have the pipes laid for the sewers. Work is supposed to be completed by October, which means that for nearby residents it will indeed be a long, hot summer. Math Award Honors Dr. Pence An annual award to recognize excellence in the study of mathematics leading to teaching has been approved by the University Board of Trustees. The Sallie E. Pence award will consist of a plaque and a. stipend. Dr. J. C. Eaves, head of the Department of Mathematics and Astronomy, wanted to establish the award as a tribute to Dr. Pence's 34 years on the UK faculty as a professor of mathematics and astronomy. The award will be financed by funds Dr. Eaves receives from a testing service he has been operating on his own time, Dr. Frank G. Dickey, president of the University, said. The trustees also approved a status for Dr. Pence, who retired from the faculty in June. change-of-wor- k Returning Seniors Take Note Returning Seniors (students with at least 90 hours) may register and classify for the fall semester on one of the following dates, preferably in the morning: July 5', 8, 17 and 26. They should report to their Dean first to pick up the brown summary card, Dean's schedule cards, and other necessary material. From the Dean's Office, they go to the Registrar's Office. Class tickets may be picked up in departmental offices. When all class tickets have been picked up the students return to their Dean's office. All Seniors who do not register on these dates will register during the regular registration days in September. The university is conducting the second N.D.E.A. Summer Infor Secondary School stitute Teachers of French under the direction of Mr. John A. Rea. The purpose of the institute is to Increase competency of participants in seven areas including aural comprehension, writing proficiency, speaking ability reading ability, culture, language analysis, and professional preparation. In order to be admitted to the program applicants must have a bachelor's degree, two or more years of college French, no previous NJ3.E.A. experience, and evidence of good teaching ability. As much as eight credit hours are available to eligible participants. The program of the institute includes methodology, pattern practice, linguistics, laboratory, culture, conversation, and activities consisting of French films, group singing, and lectures. Participants in the program speak and hear only French in their classes and at the ATO fraternity house where they are living for the summer. The university is one of sixty-fiv- e colleges involved in the proof gram and the enrollment forty-eigrepresents twenty states throughout the country. August Graduates Today and tomorrow will be the last days for students planning to graduate in August to file for a degree. Students may file for their degree in the office of the Dean of their *
