And you're stuck on the moon. It's a humbling way to start your perusal of the wonders of engineering. "Well, you crashed," says the guy.

"Next." Not far away, Kenneth Presley is running a chess program on a computer called "the HP2000C." "I'm a queen and three pawns up," he brags. His opponents, Steve Anderson and Eric Lund, aren't so jovial. They, too, use a computer to decide which pieces to move, but their program isn't as good. Presley has worked on his chess program for "almost two years," and hopes to win the national computer chess championship in August. He says he's trying to program "artificial Intelligence" into his machine, so that it can learn from its errors, correct its miscalculations, throw in creative variations to sidetrack its opponent.

Presley, a member of the University of Louisville chess team, says he can beat his computer program "every time," yet he hopes to win the national championship anyhow. Melvin Maron, a faculty member in the Speed School's department of applied mathematics and computer science, explains that people shouldn't be awed by computers. "Computers are really pretty dumb," he says. "If you had to toilet-train one of these machines, it would take a long, long time." But Maron acknowledges that com- By JOHN FILIATREAU Courier-Journal Staff Writer You're in a lunar lander 500 feet above the moon's surface, dropping at 50 miles an hour, and you have 120 "units" of fuel with which to arrange a soft, safe landing. And you're apparently out of contact with Houston Control.

You make an initial, cautious decision. A computer screen informs you that you are now 473 feet above the surface, at 45 miles an hour, and you now have only 112 units of fuel left. This goes on for several minutes. Until you have but one unit of fuel left. You're still 60 feet off the surface, but now you're moving at 67 miles an hour.

A crash is imminent. You chuckle with embarrassment. Gosh darn, you say. The guy standing by the computer screen laughs. The computer writes: ACTION UN-GOVERNED BY THOUGHTS ENDS IN DISASTER.

It's only a game. "Step up, give it a try," says the man who represents the company that developed the information retrieval system and the lunar landing simulator. Other people approach the keyboard, slowly, like people at a carnival who are thinking about paying 50 cents for three shots at the basket. The moon game is part of the exhibition produced by engineering students at the University of Louisville's Speed Scientific School to mark the 43rd annual Engineers' Week. The show's theme is "Engineering, Our Greatest Energy Resource," and already you've wasted 120 units of precious fuel and wrecked Spider Man lost in Space Courtship iddie't Father Gomer Pyle Mister Rogers Sesame Street Mister Rogers Electric Company 4 Andy Griffith CBS Newt Sesame Str'oet Electric Company Channel 3 Meviet NBC News last in Space leave It to Beaver ABC Newt Eytwltnett Newt Children's Specials Mister Refers 5 Gilliaan's Island The Rifleman World Today Newt To Tell the Truth Truth-Con sequences What's My lineT Mister Rogers Electric Company Channel 1 1 Newt Jimmy Dean Show 6 Reading oV linguistic TV High School Special of tho Week Gunsmoke The Rookies Special of the Week Bewitched lucy Show 7 Wild Kingdom UK Basketball: Ky.

-Mississippi puters can be fascinating. "Some of these students just fall in love with the machines," he says. "They're about average in a lot of areas, but can make the computers just sing. We find them in here sometimes, sacked out in a chair or something. They've been in here playing with the computers all night long It's amazing.

But computers aren't so smart "Oh, you crashed in the lunar simulation?" he says, nodding his head. "Don't worry about it, everybody does." While the computers and the games they play seem to be crowd favorites, many of the other exhibits relate better to the occasion's theme and have more practical applicability. For example: A gravel bed filter, used to remove particulate matter from stack gases. (Remember the radio reports? "The problem pollutant is An internal combustion engine that uses methanol as fuel rather than gasoline. Thermocouples, which transform heat into electrical energy.

A filter system that transforms sewage into drinking water. is A reactor that neutralizes acid mine drainage. An explanation of why thermal pollution is pollution and the effect of temperature on oxygen content of water. iv A process for the extraction of several chemicals from coal so as to avoid waste. Many of these ecologically sound notions still are too expensive to put into effect, but the exhibits at UL demonstrate the engineering ideal, and may be heartening to those who are pessimistic about the chances of human survival.

Students earnestly explain just what is being demonstrated and how each of the exotic devices works. The exhibits will be open to the public again from 1 to 6 p.m. today.

"The independent operator hopes the money he makes on gasoline will pay the rent, more or less the carrying costs I think he is entitled to more. How much more I really don't know." Bonner also said the ruling might lead to abuse.

"It's very tempting for the station getting just slightly more than 85 per cent to charge the extra penny," Bonner said. As for the FEO statement that it could check a station's records, Bonner said: "Well, all those things that are said are not quite practical or accurate. The FEO regional offices are almost scenes of chaos." Bonner also said that by April gasoline shortages might be "worse than now." Bonner said the government's new program for allocating crude oil from some refineries to others could reduce total gasoline output. Meanwhile, the president of the American Petroleum Institute, Frank Ikard, said the government should spend $600 billion over the next 15 years to solve the energy crisis. Ikard, a former Texas Democratic Texas congressman said yesterday on television-radio show in Austin, "Many people say let's do like we did on the Apollo Project.

That cost us about $25 billion. And we need about $37 billion a year if we're going to do the kind of energy research and development we need. So we're talking about an Apollo Project and a half each year." Some congressional proposals have called for spending about $10 billion over five years to seek energy-problem solutions. From New York Times end AP Dlspetchei WASHINGTON The Federal Energy Office (FEO) tomorrow will order more gasoline diverted to critically fuel-short areas of the nation, the government's No. 2 energy official said yesterday.

Deputy Energy Administrator John C. Sawhill, interviewed on the ABC "Issues and Answers" program, said oil companies would be directed to shift deliveries to "some of the larger metropolitan areas where we've seen lines forming that are just intolerable." Sawhill did not say what regions would benefit, but he acknowledged that such problem areas as the East Coast, Florida, Arizona and Washington-Oregon could be included. Effects of the diversion should be felt "no more than a week" after the order is issued, Sawhill said. The FEO decision Saturday to permit a one-cent-a-gallon price increase by some service-station operators was defended by Sawhill and criticized by the head of a major oil firm yesterday. The price increase will apply only to those stations whose allocations were cut by more than 15 per cent below a 1973 base level.

Sawhill, interviewed after the program, said the price boost was not made across-the-board because "we have to take the interests of the American consumer into consideration" and any such raise adds $1 billion to motorists' fuel bills. However, Z. David Bonner, president of Gulf Oil said on CBS' "Face the Nation" program that the increases should have been given to all dealers and should have been larger.
