Dy worn jt Association
(Editor's Note The following story
is the second in a series of articles on
the different organizations included in
the cam-pus chest drive scheduled for
March 4-7.)
Diseases of the heart and blood
vessels account for nearly half
of the deaths in this state, ac
cording to the North Carolina
Heart Association.
The Association, whose head
quarters are here in. Chapel Hill,
lists researcn, education, ana com
munity service as its three phases
of work to combat these diseases.
In the field of cardiovascular
research, work is being done in
the medical centers at Duke
University and the Bowman Gray
School of Medicine in Winston
Salem. In this field much pro
gress is given by preliminary
studies of the new hormones,
ACTII and cortisone, and in the
development of new diagnostic
tools.
The most notable contributions
in the educational area have been
two annual Heart Symposia which
brought to this state leading
physicians and research men from-i
all over the country. In addition
clinical discussions, demonstra
tions, . and lectures are being
held, and pamphlets, films, and
exhibits have been made avail
able to the general public as well
as medical personnel.
Outstanding among the Asso
ciation's accomplishments in the
area of community service are
sponsorship of classes in work
simplification for cardiacs, the
maintenance of a Heart House
to provide dietary treatment for
cardiac patients, and the organi
zation of a summer recreation
CAMPUS
program for cardiac children. In
conjunction with the community
service program, school children
are now being- screened for var
ious cardiac diseases and abnor
malities. Plans tor future, work of the
Heart Association include greater
emphasis on problems of rehabil
itation and work classification for
the employed cardiac patient,
close cooperation with the School
Health Coordinating Service, and
further study of actual needs in
various, communities and ways
in which these needs can be met.
Spanish Club
The Spanish Club will meet to
night for supper at 6 o'clock in
one of the small dining rooms on
the second floor of Ienoir hall. 'All
those who want to practice their
Spanish are welcome, the presi
dent said.
University Parry
There will be a meeting of the
University Party legislators to
night , at 6:30 first floor New

all to attend."
Chrislain Fellowship
The Carolina Christian Fellow
ship will bring to the campus
Charles Troutman, associate gen
eral secretary of the Inter-Varsity
Christian Fellowship.
He will speak on The Differ-
ence Christ Makes" in the YMCA
library tonight at 7 o'clock. The
lecture is open to the public
Card Board
The Card Board banquet will
be held tonight at j6:30 in the
upstairs banquet hall of Lenoir
hall. Complete movies of the 1951
Card Stunts will be shown.

Research and development work in
chemical engineering often overlap
at Du Pont, except where the re
search 13 fundamentaL
The chemical engineer occupied
with fundamental research is chiefly
concerned with basic studies of unit
operations and processes involving
reaction 'kinetics,, thermodynamic
properties of fluids, high -pressure
techniques, equilibrium studies, heat
transfer and the like. Such studies
often lead to lower-cost manufactur
ing processes. Some recent projects
in fundamental research have been:
1 . A study of fluidized catalyst re
action units including degree of fluid
ation, temperature uniformity, cata
lyst activity and life, and conversion
of feed gases.
2. Studies of the fundamental trans
fer relations between phases, for in
stance, gas and liquid, in reacting
materials.
Apart from the chemical engineers
engaged in fundamental research,
there are many groups working in
applied research, and development."
In fact, this is the major part of the -chemical
engineering work done at
Du Pont. Here are examples of the
literally hundreds of unusual prob
lems they have solved:
1 Designing equipment for produc
ing pure silicon at 1000C. (Though
one of the starting compounds is
highly corrosive, only spectroscopic
traces of impurities can be tolerated.)
2 Developing a high-pressure liquid
phase process to replace the stand
ard dry method of producing sodium
azide formerly employed.
3. Designing a continuous flow, gas
liquid reactor for use in making a
fiber intermediate under pressure.
4. Developing, from laboratory re
search results, a process for large-,
scale production of complex poly
meric materials used in the manu
facture of color photographic film.
These examples can only hint the
variety and originality of problems
constantly arising at Du Pont. They
indicate the challenge a3 well as the
broad opportunity awaiting the tal
ents and ingenuity of the young
chemical engineer who wants a ca
reer in research and development.

neer's role in plant operation at Du Pont
