civil engineers mean a cool glass of water A better life tomorrow means continued life today. Which calls for an adequate and fresh supply of water. The city of Anacortes, north of Seattle, asked the University ' s Depart- ment of Civil Engineering to study and then shut off the possibility of a water shortage in case of an emergency. The engineers boarded boats on a lake near Anacortes, tested the water for quality and quantity, then outlined a plan that would insure a cool glass of water when normal water sources drain to the danger point. Samples of lake water are taken (right) to learn the amount of or- ganisms and nutrients in reservoir. University civil engineer (below) makes tests for salinity in a lake behind Anacortes. ' -- .

the search into space Scanning the heavens doesn ' t mean only rocket launchings and squeaking satelUtes. The probe of electronics and radio astronomy stretches man ' s knowledge of the sky above. Bill Clemmens, a senior in Electrical Engineering, is part of that on-the-ground probe. His research into stream- lined transmission lines for the radio astronomer may help bridge a gap in the trip to outer space. Clemmens (right) determines the direction and velocity of Yagi Ant enna Ray project. Antenna (below) may give radio astronomers help in probing outer space.
