Celebrated engineer shows members creative side Speaker mixes flies and fun by WENDY HOADLEY Could they have saved Braniff from bankruptcy? Or would they have only added to the problem by forming another union? Don Emmick, aerospace design engineer, and his fly-powered aircraft (common housefly, that is) attracted na- tional attention in 1984. At a November meeting, members of the UT chapter of the American In- stitution of Aeronautics and Astronautics enjoyed a personal presentation by Emmick. The students also viewed a taped seg- ment of Dallas ' PM Magazine in which Emmick appeared. Emmick was also interviewed on That ' s Incredible, and was mentioned in the Guinness Book of World Records. In a humorous and heart-warming presentation, said Brian Martin, presi- dent of the organization, Don Emmick reminds us of the fun and creative side of engineering. Listening intently to speaker Don Kmrrrck, Fernando Navarro learns about Bmmick ' s fly- powered inventions.

So far the program has been going real well, said Evers. However, we are still in the process of making the students more aware of the program. Also, we sponsored a picnic for everyone in the music department, said Crawford. It was the first time that we had ever done something like that and it was great. Executive committee members Karen Crawford, Abel Soto, Bob Corbett and Stacy Gist plan a clinic for music majors.

Escaping weekly grinds Group reacts to relaxation by ROGER GRAPE On Monday, Jan. 21, there was a thermodynamics exam. On Tues- day, computer applications homework was due. On Wednesday, transport phenomena lab. On Thursday, the chemical engineering fundamentals lab assignment was due. And on Friday, thermodynamics homework was due. Just a typical week in the life of a chemical engineering major. But that ' s not all there was to it. On Friday night, Jan. 25, and other nights during the year as well, members of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers got together to relax and converse with other fellow chemical engineering students outside the everyday surroun- dings of Welch Hall. On this night, the party was at AIChE treasurer Sylvia Gouyee ' s house. This helps the members of AIChE become closer and see each other in a different light, said Jeff Reilly, chemical engineering junior. Although there was talk of process control and cooperative engineering at the party, one was more likely to hear discussions about boyfriend and girlfriend problems, who had the best football team, and whose turn it was to shoot the quarter. We don ' t get many chances to party like this, so when we do, it ' s really nice, Reilly said. We try to make the most of the opportunities. Members of AIChE, Steve Weinberg, Michelle Voorhees and Martha Moon relax at their party.
