LEXINGTON,

Weimer-Gre-

By KENNETH GREEN
Kernel Staff Writer

Hundreds of students walk
by it each day on their way
to classes. Few know what it
is or what goes on there.
It's called the Wenner-Gre- n
Aeronautical Laboratory. Dr. Karl
O. Lange, associate director of the
Engineering Experiment Station
and head of the lab, says its purpose is simply "to do engineering
research."
The laboratory was opened In
1940. At the beginning of World
War II, the lab's staff was working on one of Its first projects
a small, advanced aircraft engine.
"Of course," Dr. Lange said, "it
was Just a little engine. Then the
War came, and they needed bigger engines, so that was that."
The lab has come a long way
since the early days. The National Aeronautics
and Space
Administration recently awarded
the lab a $5(10,0(10 grant to study
effects on human
gravitational
behavior.
"This sounds like big money,"
Dr. Lange said, "but it is quite
conservative when one considers
that the data we might supply in
experimentation
groun
would cost many millions if it
were essential that all the information be obtained by launching test space craft."
Dr. Large said that this grant
was actually an extension of n
previous grant of $181,416 the lab
received last year. The initial
grant grew out of work done
by two engineering graduate stu- -

Large NASA Grant
From Student's Work
The $500,000 NASA grant the Wenner-GreAeronautical
Laboratory received is an extension of aid that was appropriated to the lab last year in connection with a student project.
The project was the result of
the work done last spring by two
mechanical engineering seniors,
Ben Broderson, Franklin, and Anthony W. Thomas, Cadiz.
Broderson developed an effective rig in which a mouse caged
in a centrifuge could indicate his
gravity by tripping nn electrical
switch.
Then Thomas designed a "hose
was
which
cone" paraboloid
coupled with Broderson's work.
The finished product was used in
the earlier experiments with gravitation.
Improvements have been made
continually.
Gravity levels range from one
g to three g. At the first level the
mouse remains
at his earth
weight, while his weight is three
times as great at three g. The experimenters are trying to uncover
which weight the mice prefer.
Testing periods for various aspects of the research stretch
from 24 hours to six months. The
animals' locations in the gravity
field is determined by radiative
detection devices.
When the Initial aspects of the
experiments are completed, temperature control will be introduced. The purpose of this is to 'find
out if a mouse will compromise
for a gravity level between its
normal weight level in which the

chilly and the three g level in
is exwhich the temperature

One interesting sidelight is the

Jointly by the experimental psychologists and the engineering
experts of the University.
Dr. Lange said some facets of
the work will extend into the
domains of physirs, medical sciences and biochemistry of L'K
and other Institutions.
The machines the scientists
use in the gravitation
experiments are called centrifuges.
They are shaped like a giant
spinning top. The animals are
placed in the bottom. As the machine rotatoes, the earth's gravity is simulated at the bottom.
Higher gravities are at the top.
The animal is free to move
around in the machine and to
choose whatever weight he wants.
One big drawback, Dr. Lange explained, is that the animals may
move to a different giavity to
offset motion sickness.
In another centrifuge several
couples of males and females
for three
have been rotating
months at a speed simulating the
gravity of the planet Jupiter.
They have bred.
The purpose of the experiment
Is to see whether or not the offspring and the parents will prefer Jupiter's weight to earth's
weight.
When the scientists find this
out, they will try a similar experiment on the monkeys, who

thereby decreasing or increasing

"After the War." Dr. Lange
said, "there was very little work;
to do on the old prop engines.
The Jet Age was here."
"We tried to run a Jet en
gine In here once," he smiled,
"But they're noisy as all hell,
and they put out a lot of soot.
The housewives over in
didn't like that, so wa
had to stop."
When Dr. Lange took over the
lab, he decided the lab would
"phase out of engine work."
"One of the hot problems at
that time," he said, "was the fuel
tanks of aircraft.
"During the War they had
tanks. When the enemy
shot holes in them, they sealed
themselves. But as the ammunition got bigger, the tanks didn't
work too well.
"Then (in the early '50's) wa
got the idea of compartmented
fuel tanks. When the money got
one part, they didn't get the
whole thing.
"The Air Force did a theoretical study of the idea and gave
us $100,000 to build a bunch of
them."
This was in 1954. The Air
Force never put the compartmented tanks into production because "they changed from gasoline fuel to jet and rocket fuel,
which had to be stored differently."
"In the meantime," he continued, "we looked for other
work. The biggest aircraft Industry in Kcntuc ky is the parachute
industry, so we studied parachutes.
"Well, you Just can't make a
good living in the parachute industry, so we moved on to something else."
About this same time, he said,
the 2 spy planes were being
conceived and developed. It was
just a matter of time, though,

work in each of these four areas:

humanities and fine arts.
In each area students would

Dr. McDaniel said. "There, both
the blackboard and the grades
are removed from the educational environment."
Although It is difficult to document the value of such programs with facts, testimonials of
those who have been involved
with them indicate
positive
effect of such teaching. Dr. McDaniel said.
Students in the program would
be expected to live with others
in it, and thereby draw some encouragement and support from
each other. Because special
classes must be organized, the
pogram would cost about twice
as much as would conventional

"But modern Jet airliners cost
more than the Wright brothers'

the evolutionary process by which
species are formed with the
NSF grant. His laboratories
will be Kentucky caves, particularly those in the Pennyroyal
plateau.
Dr. Barr believes that about
200 species of cave trechines exist
in caves of the eastern United
States, with about 65 of them in
Kentucky.
The trechines are very pale,
eyeless, and wingless.
"There are very few parts of
the world in which so many
closely related species exist In a
geographic area of comparable
size," Dr. Barr said.
"The trechine fauna of Kentucky is of critical importance to
an understanding of the evolution and distribution of the tribe
in North America. Only 14 of the
estimated species in the state
have been described."
Dr. Barr snid that it is not
feasible to make useful generalizations about the role of cave
isolation in evolution as long as
the geographic distributions of
the animals have not been established.
This information is used to decide whether an animal ranks as
a species or subspecies.
The research will be done under the auspices of I'K's Institute of Speleology, which has received $83,000 worth of grants in
the past several years.
Dr. Burr is executive vice president of the National Speloelogic-a- l
Society. His experience has

Dr. Thomas C. Barr, a University zoologist, said that caves
are excellent for viewing evolution because there is no light,
temperature is almost constant,
there is no plant life other than
some microscopic forms, and foraging for food is difficult.

Again this year the drive is underway to collect fuiuls for World University Service. The committee has
worked diligently to plan various
activities hoping to make the drive
a success.
Whether it is or not depends on
the students, faculty, and staff of the
University. It is their contributions
vhich will mean the difference be-- "
tween success and failure.
World University Service is an organization founded to help students
in other countries by supplying food,
medical care, housing, clothing, and
food where it is needed. That funds
are needed for such a program goes
.without saying.
Contributions from American and
European colleges and universities
have made possible hostiles in China
so that students will no longer be
forced to sleep on the steps of tenement houses.
They have built hospitals for the

tare of students with tuberculosis in
They have supplied mimeograph machines to schools in Indo
India.

nesia so that students may have some
form of textbooks.
In addition, at the end of the
Hungarian revolt, many Hungarian
students come to the United States
to attend school. This was made possible through scholarships given by
World University Service.
These are only of a few of the
many projects that WUS has undertaken in many of the poverty-strickeareas of the world.
