EDITORIALS SPOTLIGIJT ON INDO-CiliNA WHERE ARE WE GO I ~G? During the last two months the foreign policy of this country has become so chan~eable and intricate that the casual observer as well as the seasoned commentator Is unable to determine exactly where we arc going. It is somewhat hurd to believe that. in an administration which hns tried so hard to make efficient policies in all fields of national and international interests, there should be a sense of uncertainty and in'iecurity in regnrds to foreign policy. Tbis uncertainty has been passed on not only to the people of our own country, but to free, pence-loving nations throughout the world . The Indo-China situation points this out : 0) On Feb. 61 the U.S. Government announced that it was sending 200 technicians to help service U.S. planes being used by the French In Lbe

ONCE UPON A BOMB Elevfl\ years and four months ago---<Jn December 2, 1942-a ~roup or physicists stood tensely watching a massive structure o;et in a squash court at Stagg Field, Chicn_llO. t\ ~ignal was tlashed, instruments clicked faster nncl fa-;lcr. T he structure, the world's fir'>l Uranium pile, heralded the birth or the modern atomic age. Fpr the first time in the history of modern sci· ence, man was able to produce a self-sustaining nuclear reaction. That was the dawn of the Xuclear Age. Today, eleven years and billions of dollars later. the guarded coecrets of this country's ·•unbelievable1' new H-Bomb are coming out. Recall with horror the fate of Hiroshima, the first city to be hit with an atomic weapon. Recall tbe utter and complete devastation of the city as we saw it in the movies and recall the death toll and the a fter effects which even today arc creeping into the news. And today we are told that scientists have developed a bomb which Is 500 Limes as powerful- a bomb which can do 500 times the damage the first explosion did- a bomb that can kill 500 time as many people, that can make 500 times as big a bang. Let us look at a typical score card or a hydrogen bomb as it might appear. Assume an enemy H-Boml> U1e size qf the one dropped in the Pacific was dropped in the hcarl of Philadelphia.

The teaching of the humanities and social sciences In lhe olltion's collerces of engineering Md science is lo be ap. praised closely by authorities in englneering education under terms of a $30,000 grant from the Can1e~ie Corporalioo of New York. Announcemtnl of the comprehensive study wa~ mn;de by Dean L. E . Grinter or the UniVC~Sily of Florida, president of the ~encan Society for Engineering Educal1on. "Studies in lhe social sciences and bummnities" said Dean Grinter, "are an essential' part of an engineer's education. Profe5$ional people are increru~lngly_ being called upon to assume top adrotnl~traUve positions In industry and governmenL A tmlanced educational progrnm is necess:~ry to develop cullural breadth and admin~lmtive competence. A comprehenslve study of the sociol s~i?nces and bumanilies by leading authonues in the field can give tbe impetus lo aubstanUnl improvement in this portion of lbe engineer's educnUonlll 11rogram." The study will focus atlenlion on programs wblcll appear to be well co~ceiv~d and to be working effectively. W1lb this as a background, the committee ~Ill make its own recommendations for unproving courses, teacblng mnlerials and methods ln the hum3nilies and social
scienc~. Scbeduled
for completion by June 19SS, the study will be under the direction of Dr. George A. Gullette, head of social sc:lences at North C11rolina Stille College full time coordinator. Pinna for the atudy were made by Dr. Sterling P. Olmsted, head of English at Rensselaer

Case ol the dry ''oil'',..ell Not at all unusual, you say? But this well was purposely drilled that way! In fact, precautions were taken to see that the well wouldn't contact oil-bearing sands. It was to be a vital part of an elaborate waste-disposal system built into one of Du Pont's new plants near Victoria, Texas. It is an example of the unusual engineering problems which Ou P ont technical men encounter. The " well" itself is almost a t,nile deep- 4900 feet , to be exact. Waste 6uids from the plant are forced down this weU, to be absorbed by non-oil-beruing sands- fAl' below t.he level of any surface water. Piping near ground level is in lhe form of concentric shells, and fresh water is delivered t o the annular opening around the waste pipe. Furthermore, t.he wa ter pressure is higher than that of the fluids in the
wMte section. In this way, any leakage in the pipe system causee fresh water to enter the surrounding sands (or the inside waste system) and prevents objectionable materials from reaching the sands at. surfaoo levels. Other interesting procedures are used throughout Du Pont's many plants to guard against river pollution. F or example, scientists were asked to make a complete marine-life cerurus on one river before a plant was built. nearby. The company wanted to be certain lhat no waste would be discharged which would challenge the na tural pa ttern of marine life. Throughout the DuPont Company, wherever there ia a need for the services of technical men, there are varied and interesting problems that present a challenge to engineering skill and imagination.
