CHICAGO — Increase in tuition at Illinois Institute of

Technology from a present figure of $1,600 to $1,800 for the

academic year beginning in September 1968 was announced today

by Dr. John T. Rettaliata, IIT president. The new figure represents

a $100 increase per semester. The university's last tuition increase

was made in 1966.

Since 1960, the IIT educational budgets have increased from

$7.6 million to $16.5 million, Dr„ Rettaliata said. During this

period IIT's instructional salary budget has risen 98 per cent and

the number of full-time faculty members has increased from 193 to

288. IIT is currently recognized by the Association of American

University Professors among "institutions which did outstandingly

well in their average or minimum compensation grades or both." Of

the 918 institutions throughout the nation reporting in 1966-67, the

AAUP listed only 63 having faculty compensation grades higher than IIT,

In order to maintain and improve this standard, Dr. Rettaliata said,

a share of the increasing costs must be supported through tuition

charges.

-more-

ADD 1 — Tuition Increase

The university will provide additional financial assistance

to qualified students who need it, Dr. Rettaliata said. Since

1960, annual aid to I IT students has increased from $850,000 to nearly $3,000,000. Much of this increase has been made possible

through gifts and grants. The university has also greatly expanded and improved its physical facilities. This expansion has

largely been made possible by gift support obtained through a major fund-raising campaign that is still in progress.

In authorizing the new tuition rate, the IIT board of trustees specified that no further increase shall be made for at least two years.

CHICAGO -- In recognition of the scientific contributions of Doctors

Ragnar and Else Holm to the physics of electric contact phenomena, the annual seminars dealing with this subject will henceforth be known as

"The Holm Seminars on Electric Contact Phenomena," according to Dr.

Ralph E. Armington, seminar chairman. Dr. Armington is a lecturer in electrical engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology which co-sponsors the seminars with IIT Research Institute.

In making the announcement, Dr. Armington said the seminar program committee wanted to honor the pioneer of electrical contact phenomena investigation and his wife for "their scientific endeavors, their leadership, their encouragement for better scientific work, and their unfailing good humor."

The proposal to so name the scientific meetings was made at the

Engineering Seminar on Electric Contact Phenomena last November at the

Sherman House in Chicago. The resolution was passed unanimously by over two-hundred attendees.

.

ADD 1 — Holas Honored

Dr. R. Holm, who received his PH.D. in Physics from the University of Uppsala, Sweden, in 1908, began his investigations into electric contact phenomena during World War I when he worked on telephone circuits and microphones for the Siemens-Werke in Berlin. He formulated a theory of contacts by creating concepts such as real contact surface and the

relation between contact temperature and voltage . His paper on this subject, presented to the Danish Academy of Sciences, was awarded the

Classen Prize in 1921.

After lecturing in Sweden for several years, he again worked for

Siemens in Berlin from 1927 to 1945, concentrating on the theory of electric contacts and. on arcs in high duty switches. His principal studies include the fundamentals of the tunnel effect applied to contacts, material transfer, fritting of films in contacts, and sliding contact processes

In 1927 he married Dr. Else Koch of Breslau, Germany, who received her Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Berlin in 1923. She had been working for Dr. R. Holm as a research assistant in the Siemens' laboratories but, he says, since their marriage "he has been working for her." She has published numerous articles in the general field of contacts.

In 1947 the Holms came to the United States, of which they are now citizens, and joined the Stackpole Carbon Company in St. Mary's, Pa.

Although presently retired, they both continue to act as consultants to the company. Recently, they both worked on a completely revised fourth

edition of Electrical Contacts Theory and Application , which is the industry's handbook on electrical contact. This latest edition was published in 1967. -30-

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 29, 1968

CHICAGO -- A two-year $90,000 grant to Illinois Institute of Technology for study of the basic mechanism of energy transformation in muscle was announced today by Dr. Arthur Grad, Dean of the I IT Graduate School.

The grant was made by the National Science Foundation to support research by Professor Teru Hayashi, chairman of the department of biology a.nd internationally recognized authority on the physiology of cell movement, rhe title of the program is "The Interaction of Actin and Myosin in the

Contractile Reaction."

According to Professor Hayashi, there are four known proteins involved in the transformation of chemical energy to mechanical energy during muscle

Dontraction. "If we can develop a theoretical understanding of the functions

Df these components," he said, "we believe we will have an insight into a.11 living processes relevant to energy transformations.-'

To achieve this understanding Professor Hayashi plans to isolate the protein components, synthetically reconstruct them, and then study their interactions. He said the laboratory at IIT is unique in its facilities for studying the contractability of these proteins. The laboratory and the lepartment of biology are housed in IIT's new $3.2 million Life Sciences

Building

ADD 1

Professor Hayashi stated: "One of the fundamental properties of

living things is movement. In higher forms this is brought about by the activity of muscles; but in lower forms, movement is achieved by the activities of cells. At the molecular level there is some evidence that all types of movement have a common basis.

"Our knowledge of movement at the molecular level," he said, "has been primarily developed by studies of contractile proteins, actin and myosin. These two proteins must interact in some unknown way in order to achieve the transformation of chemical energy into kinetic energy. My laboratory at IIT will be concerned first with the characterization of the protein actin, and secondly with the interactions of actin and myosin.

Movement in the test tube has already been achieved, and it is with the hope of unraveling the detailed reactions and energetics of this movement that the research will be conducted.

"The understanding of muscle activity at the molecular level,"

Professor Hayashi said, "will lead to the possibility of elucidating the synthesis of these proteins in the muscle during the course of embryonic development. This, in turn, can lead to our understanding of muscle function in common diseases such as muscular dystrophy and the degeneration of muscle with the failure of nerve function, as well as the increase in size and efficiency of muscle function with use and exercise."

ADD 2

Professor Hayashi, a native of Atlantic City, N. J., joined the faculty of Columbia University in 1946, after having taught and conducted research in zoology at the University of Missouri and having been an

instructor in physics for the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II.

CHICAGO -- A one-year $50,000 grant from the National Space and sronautics Administration to Illinois Institute of Technology for the

:udy of rocket propellant evaporation and spray break up was announced

)day by Dr. Arthur Grad , dean of the graduate school.

The grant is an extention of a 31-month experimental and analytical

"ogram, under the direction of Professor T. Paul Torda, that has shown lat the mathematical model now employed to design rocket engine combustion lambers and injectors is not valid. Professor Torda pointed out that lis old model is based on extrapolations of evaporation dynamics at

:mospheric pressures.

"When environmental pressures simulate rocket combustion conditions,"

i said, "we've discovered that the evaporation characteristics of fuel

'oplets are radically changed."

The experimental study, carried out by Professor Torda and graduate

;ud.ent Robert Matlosz, indicates that rocket engine combustion chambers in be smaller without sacrificing thrust. This suggests a rocket could

-ft a larger pay load, would, be more maneuverable , and would be more

;onomical

.

iD 1 - Propellant Study

The objectives of the current project, entitled "Liquid Droplet aporation in High Pressure and High Temperature Environment," is to velop a theoretical understanding of fuel evaporation under rocket mbustion conditions as well as insights into rocket combustion stability.

The first report on this project concludes: "Since the experimental dius-time and temperature-time histories for the vaporizing droplet

not agree with the recommended quasi-steady (heat-mass transfer analogy) porization theory, it is imperative to carry out a non-steady droplet porization analysis beginning with the equations of conservation of ergy, momentum, mass, and species."

Professor Torda is now developing an analytical model of drop porization dynamics for parafin fuels. Some of his students are also rently studying cryogenic fuels.

In order to study vaporization phenomena, a hot gas tunnel was built to which drops are inserted by an accoustically excited injector that oduces droplet specimens of desired size and frequency. The drops are en photographed with a high speed Fastax camera and studied to determine e dynamics of their behavior under high temperature and high pressure nditions

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 3, 1968

CHICAGO — A dozen students at Illinois Institute of Technology are currently tutoring underprivileged children between the third and fifth grades from south side grammar schools.

Seven of the student tutors are members of the Circle K International

Club, which initiated the program and is affiliated with the International

Kiwanis Association. The other five are independent volunteers.

Mike Mowrer, project chairman for Circle K, said the program is conducted to develop a better relationship between IIT and the surrounding area as well as fulfill the ideals and objectives of the student organization which is sponsored by the Roseland Kiwanis Club.

In commenting on the program, Mowrer said he believed, the most important aspect was not assistance for students having academic problems, rather it was "the development of a close personal relationship and the demonstration of an interest in the local community by IIT students."

The program was launched in November, 1966 in coordination with the program of the Office of Economic Opportunity in the Henry Booth Extension at 29th and State Streets. Thru this contact IIT students obtained referrals of school principals in the surrounding neighborhood schools.

Upon teacher recommendations and. parents approval, the names of students to be tutored are submitted to the Henry Booth Extension office.

DD 1

The program is set up so that the student-tutor ratio is maintained

t 1 to 1 . In some cases the tutors give time and effort to more than ne student. Only one student, however, is tutored at one time. This is o provide a more personal involvement and relation between each student rid tutor.

Originally the tutoring took place in rooms provided by the Henry ooth Extension. However, because of a cut in federal funds for the overty program, the rooms were not available during the past year. The pace problem was solved by tutors going to the students' homes.

According to the plans of the program, at the first meeting, the tudent and tutor meet and become acquainted. At the second, meeting, he tutoring begins. These sessions are held one day a week, except on aturday and Sunday, for one hour, 3:30-4:30. The sessions may be held ore often if the student and tutor wish. The tutoring continues every eek of classes (16 weeks) during the school term until the last week, t that time, a small party is held for the students and. tutors. The lub buys the pop while the students' mothers bake cakes for the party.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 3, 1963

CHICAGO — Advances in the understanding of the resistance of

Clostridium botulinum to heat and radiation will be presented next

week at the 68th Annual Meeting of the American Society for

Microbiology in Detroit between May 5 and 10. The new knowledge

will be presented in 10 papers authored by graduate students from

Illinois Institute of Technology and Dr. Nicholas Grecz, IIT

professor of biology.

According to Professor Grecz, he and his students have found

that a common metal (calcium) and a rare compound (dipicolinic

acid) interact with components of the Clostridium botulinum spore

to produce a cementatious material which protects the organism

against heat. Professor Grecz's objective is to accurately define

this mechanism. Six of the papers deal with studies of both heat

and radiation resistance. Professor Grecz believes that food

preservation by a combination of heat and radiation processing

may enable the food industry to eliminate all possibility of

botulism poisoning in their products.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 21, 1968

CHICAGO — Chicago's fourth Vocational Guidance Institute under Plans for Progress opens June 24, 1968, for the analysis and study of youth em-

Dloyment problems.

The four-week Institute is given by Illinois Institute of Technology,

Department of Psychology and Education, from June 24 through July 18. It

Is presented with the cooperation of the Chicago Association of Commerce ind Industry under Mr. William H, Burhans, Director of Health, Education, md Welfare. Chicago-area companies are sponsoring and supporting the

[nstitute with the financial assistance of Plans for Progress in Washing- ton, D,,C

Dr. Charles S. Dewey, associate professor of psychology a i IIT and director of the Institute, said the course is open to selected counselors

Ln public schools, parochial schools, and community agencies, a total of fifty-five participants. They will receive college credit for their par- ticipation. The Institute will consist of field trips to Chicago-area companies to learn firsthand about the employment problems and possibili- ties for work for youth, particularly dropouts, minority groups, and those vith low skills. The counselors will also meet on the campus for seminars vith experts in the field, for the analysis of their findings, and for planning on the use of their new information in their work with young people dd 1

Many counselors never have the opportunity to observe actual industrial nd business working situations, Dr. Dewey explained.

We know that our out of five of our young people will not be graduated from college, his eighty per cent may need practical help in securing work with op- ortunity to reach their potential. Participants in the Institute will ndeavor to build liaison between companies and their own schools so that

11 can contribute realistically toward getting these young people into hallenging work situations "
