KELLAM UNDER STRESS Hosted by the Old Dominion lfniversity School of Engineer- ing, the Engineering Open House is held in observance of National Engineers' Week lFeb. 18-24. 19791, which is an an- nual event sponsored by the National' Society of Profes- sional Engineers. This open house provides the opportunity for Norfolk and Virginia Beach high school students to see the various exhibits produced by DDU engineering students. Displays ranging from a Solar Heat Tube to an Intel-8086 Computer System showed the extensiveness and the thoroughness of Old Domin- ion's program, and allowed the School of Engineering a little boasting power. Much of this power was shifted to the high schools, Kellam in particular, when the judging was com- pleted in the model bridge stress test. It was this test that brought three overall honors to Kellam. After constructing bridges from their own designs, en- trants watched their models Charles Fifield, a member of Kellam's senior IETS test team at Old Domin- ion's Engineering Open House, took the test in math and chemistry. being tested for holding weight. The judges set up a ratio between the gram weight of the bridge and the number of pounds it would actually be able to hold. Mike Foster's model bridge weighed 28.8 grams and held approximately 320 pounds, tak- ing not only the first place award, but also setting a new ODU stress test record. The second place award went to Blake Burns and seventh place to Ed Nilsson. ' 2
