e By A I. GEISS In browsing through the office files early in the week this wriler came across a recently-inserted folder containing reports from faculty members concerning their 1961 summer activities. The fact that the teachers scattered to the four winds was not unexpected hut the capacities which a num ber of them assumed at their re spective destinations was both in teresting and impressive. Don Miller and Burdette Dodge ftiom the Metals Division accepted employment with Aerojet-General Corporation at Sacramento as training coordinators in the Solid Fuels Rocket Program. Don's assignment consisted of prepar ing and writing training manuals for "welding evaluation' and "basic metalurgy" to be utilized in all of the Aerojet - General plants. Burdette's responsibilities included developing a profile method of student evaluation for instructors in the corporation's training programs, compiling a set of questions for screening pro spective measurement inspectors! and aiding in assigning classifies tion ranks and writing a Manual of Instruction in the field of Met rology. Burdette concurrently for mulated a course of instruction in the field of Metrology for Oregon Tech. Complimentary copies of the manuals which Don developed will also be sent to Oregon Tech Diesel instructors Merle Jack son and William Swartz had tie mendous experiences attending the four-week Sixth Annual Aerospace Education Workshop at Portland which was sponsored by the Ore gon State System of Higher Edu cation in cooperation with t h el Civil Air Patiol, Oregon Air Na tional Guard, Air Force, Navy, Federal Aviation Agency, United Air Lines, Skyway, Inc. Boeing Company National Aeronautics, General Extension Division and private and commercial aviation groups. The workshop concerned the challenges and problems of I he aerospace age and included training in the areas of "Weather and Weather Maps and Their' Uses, ' Aspects of Power Supply for Satellites and Space Vehicles," "Life Support and Other Biologi cal Problems of Space Travel, and "Manpower Requirements and Vocational Opportunities in Aero space Industries." They were flown to Boeing at Seattle where they heard Dr. Wernher Von Braun talk on "Who Is Trying to Beat Who and Why?" The following was lifted intact from Merle's report: "Then we flew to China Lake in C119s of which it is a Navy test ing base. We were taken to Mich- clson Laboratory, one of the world's most complete research and development centers. Its 10.3 acres of floor space is used for offices, laboratories, and shops They have an X-ray machine with a capacity of a million volts, ca pable of detecting flaws in five inches of steel. From there we went to the Thompson Aeroballis tic Laboratory. This is where a lot of their missiles are tested The following day we were taken to the Propulsion Laboratory. This . is where solid and liquid fuels v are made and tested. We saw some tested. From there we went to the ground range where we saw guided missiles fired at tar - gels 27.00(1 feet high and they STOCK 72 Tab Bottle 36 Tab Bottle 288 Tab Bottle 365 Tab Bottle M PI K I Now in Stock Old Fashioned v Honey and Horehound Drops THE OWL HOOTS hit the target. Fascinating! From there we went to the air craft range where we saw different tactics for air craft delivery of nuclear weapons. From China Lake we went to Edwards Air Force Base. There v.e saw the largest natural landing strip in the world and a man-made one lo go with it of 15.000 feet. It was here that we saw the X15 and the mother ship, a B52. The X15 uses liquid propellant 18.000 pounds in just 83 seconds. We were taken to the huge tost stands where they run captive tests on missiles to find the thrust output." O. K. McCart, also from the diesel faculty, returned to his pre- Oregon Tech sea-faring duties. He left port at Seattle on a sea-going tug and, "after sailing for two days we met the tug Sea Witch near Alert Bay in Canada. She had a light barge destined for Seattle. We tied up along side her, switched barges, and 1 went onboard the Sea Witch and re lieved the chief engineer. The Sea Witch is a big sea-going tug, pow ered by a 2.000 horsepower su percharged Enterprise diesel en gine. Model DMR 38 four stroke cycle, at 300 r.p.m. with a 17 inch bore and 21 inch stroke. This is one of the Enterprises new mod els in which there is a heat ex changer which cools the super charged air before it enters the cylinder so that more fuel can be injected and therefore more horsepower can be developed." After returning to Seattle, "I learned that the company had a ship with a 1.200 horsepower su percharged Enterprise diesel, 16 inch bore and 20 inch stroke that was in port for a major over haul which consisted of main and conrod bearings, gear train and all pumps and superchargers. I was asked to take charge of this overhaul and have the ship run ning in two weeks' time. I put two shifts to work 16 hours a day for 15 days. . . ." Needless to say O. K.'s project ended sue cessfully and on time. Hiram Hunt, physics chairman, spent the summer at the Argonne National Laboratory Reactor test ing station near Idaho Falls. Idaho. He was assigned the duties of preparing course materials and teaching the fundamentals of nu clear science to technicians. A number of Oregon Tech graduates are employed there. Auto Mechanics instructor, Ben nie Morrison, taught a short course in Battle Tactics at the U.S.A. R. summer camp at Camp Roberts, Calif. Carl Stolpe, Business Associates division head, attended the Sec ond World Institute on the Teach ing of Typewriting on the campus of the University of North Dakota Charles Martin from the Medi cal Associates faculty attended the national convention ol the American Medical Technologists in Cleveland, Ohio, and was elected to a three-year term on the Na tional Board of Directors. His ex tended tour included visits to many of the institutions in the U.S. which have medical technol ogy programs. Jesse Crabtree. chairman High way Tech, was employed as field engineer in charge of pouring 3.000 yards of high quality con crete in reconstruction of airstrips at Kingsley Field. His duties in cluded the supervision of stock- I piles and batch plant, preparing base and forms for slab, placing and curing concrete, and labora tory work and reports. ' UP NOW!

Short Check ONTARIO, Ore. (API Mal heur County Dist. Ally. E. Otis Smith was surprised when he re ceived his September paycheck to find that it was about $252 short. Checking up he found that the Malheur County Court some six weeks ago took action which re duced his annual salary by $3500. This week. Smith claimed the action was illegal and demanded that it he corrected. County Judge Ellis While ex plained it this way: When the court determined the district attorney's salary at the first of the fiscal year (July !'. it was decided that the salary should be $10,800 $6,500 from the state, and $4,300 from the county. But an act of the last legisla ture raising the state's contribu tion to $10,000 became effective later in July, which in turn raised Smith's salary by $3,500.

October 22, 1961 PAGE -A 1 MM. 6 98 New Uses Uncovered For Douglas Fir Bark LONG VIEW. Wash. I API -Douglas fir bark is headed for new uses under a chemical pro cess unveiled Friday at the Wey erhaeuser Co.'s lxngview Tech nical Center. The company, which in 1954 built a plant for mechanical sep aration of bark into three differ ent parts, is now turning out in carload lots a whole new family of bark products. W. H. Mcadowcrofl, manager of Weyerhaeiiser's New Products Division, told a news conference thai in the chemical breakdown nf Douglas fir bark these things were produced: A pure fiber that can substitute for sisal as a reinforcing agent in plastics; . A wax useful in all sorts of ways including for carbon paper Take Elevator to All Floors!

Assorted colors. inks and for some types of molds: And a material that can be put into various forms including an adhesive, a binder and as a dis persant for the so-called mud pumped into oil wells to carry debris to the surface. Wlien the mechanical break down of Douglas fir bark was developed it, too, had an oilfield application, officials said in show ing some of the products of the company's research, but it was a sort of plug fo stop the drilling mud from draining away into porous sections of the hole. The mechanical separation of bark into various products will be continued. From it the company produces fireproof insulation, ma terial in which orchids are grow n, and a wide range of other things including the raw stuff from which plastics can be molded.
