Marin Gives Talk
For }Jumble Oil Co.
Dr. Joseph Marin, head of the
department of- Engineering Me
chanics, was among seven profes
sors from the United States and
other countries who participated
in the 1960-61 Humble Lectures
in Science and Engineering pro
gram.
The purpose •of the program,
given by the refinery of Humble
Oil and Refining Company's Hum
ble Division, is to provide the
Refinery staff with up-to-date in
formation in various technical
areas through special graduate
courses by outstanding profes
sors.
Marin conducted one of the
seven graduate courses offered by
the program. He gave lectures 'on
"Solid State Mechanics" over a
two-week period in August.
Bowman Granted Leave
John S. Bowman, professor of
English composition, has been
given a leave of absence for the
spring semester.
He plans to make a study of the
teaching .of freshman English in
colleges and universities through
out the country.
Even though modern electronic computers work at al.
most unbelievable speeds, the scientist is way ahead
of them.
Put quite simply, scientists have been thinking up com•
plex problems faster than even the fastest computers
could handle them. To close this gap, IBM created
STRETCH, the world's fastest, most powerful computer.
The first STRETCH system will go to the AEC at Los
Alamos to aid in nuclear reactor design. This goliath can
do a million additions or subtractions a second. It can
"read" the equivalent of four million characters per
minute from magnetic tape. It can print the equivalent
of three good-sized novels every hour. It can perform
ill these operations simultaneously, and if necessary
IBM will interview Nov. 10 &
Faculty Will Use
Local Air Service
Air travel arrangements for
faculty and staff members should
be made with either of the two
local travel agencies rather than
through the University Transpor
tation Division.
Albert E. Diem, vice president
for business administration, ,said
yesterday that the change in pro
cedufe is expected to provide
faculty and staff members with
better service on air travel ar
rangements.

Richey Will Undertake
Synthesis of Longifolene
Synthesis of longifolene and re
lated compounds will be under
taken by Dr. Herman Richey, Jr.,
assistant professor of chemistry,
under a two-year grant of $12,190
from the National Institute of
Health.
Longifolene, one of a large
group of compounds called ter
penes, has an unusual structure,
Richey pointed out. Its synthesis
would prove conclusively the cor
rectness of the structure now as
signed to it, he continued.
Says
pause midway in the problem and tackle a more im;
portant one.
Creating such tools and putting them to work for sci.:
ence —or for business, Industry, or government —ls ex•
citing, important work. It calls for talents and skills of
every kind, from liberal arts to Boolean algebra to astro•
physics.
So whatever your particular talents and skills, there
may be just the kind of job at IBM you've always wanted.
The IBM representative will be visiting your campus this
year. Why not ask him about It? Your placement office
can make an appointment. For further information about
opportunities at IBM, write, outlining your background
