CONSERVATION NEWS - September 25, 1942 ~ Vol. 2, No. 2 os “a —- ry THE SCRAP METAL DRIVE The University's Scrap Metal Drive got under way last January, when various departments began to clean up storerooms and dispose of obso-— lete laboratory equipment. A second appeal was made on July 30, and it is assumed that very little serap metal remains on University property. However, it is now time to dig deeper and make certain that all Scrap metal is disposed of—-no piece is too small. Take small quantities to the Buildings & Grounds department. For quantities of 100 lbs, or more, phone the undersigned (KU-103) and an attempt will be made to have the junk company pick it up direct. Your de- partment will receive 50¢ per cwt. for such quantities, Because of a shortage in some metals needed for University maintenance by the Buildings & Grounds department, Mr, Bayles may want to see anything you are disposing of in large quantities. He will be kept informed through my office. Let me know by phone or by campus mail the total number of pounds you have disposed of since last January. Discarded copper and zinc printing plates should be taken direct to the University Press, Metal of this type is worth 5¢ per pound on a trade-in basis. The Press will allow that amount, for it, less the cost of dismounting, sorting, and the freight to Kansas City. Government restrictions on the purchase of new halftones are rather strict, unless all obsolete plates have been turned in, It is reported that old door or padlock keys of all kinds have Salvage value. Let's see how many we can gather up, around the office, and around home. Bring or send them to my office in the Journalism Building, I'll report back in a few days on the number we get, Yours very truly, Jhn.C.) Conservation Chai : P.S, The suggestion has been made that in some cases the reverse Side of a letter which is being answered could be used on which to type the carbon copy of the reply, thus saving the extra sheet of paper and avoiding any possible separation of letter and reply, .

Dear Dr. Allen: The Aeronautical Etftgineering Department is conducting the Civilian Pilot Training Course and one of the require- ments of the course is that the trainees receive five hour of physical training per week. Our schedules have placed this class from 5:30 to 6:20 p.m. five days a week, Monday through Friday. We would like to use the facilities of the gynasium or Hoch Auditorium as dressing rooms for these trainees. The totel number of trainees is 50 and they will all have the athletic period at the above mentioned time. We would be gled to pay the necessary towel and basket fees in addition to any other fees which would be required. The first class will be held at 5:30 on Wednesday, September 9. The present course will last for 8 weeks and will be immediately succeeded: by another course of 8% weeks with the possibility of this being a continuous program. We would therefore like to make arrangements to continue the use of the dressing rooms for not less than one semester with the possibility of securing it for a longer length of time. I do not mean to imply that we require exclusive use of any dressing room, since we will gladly share it with any other group. The CPT trainees have requ€sted me to inquire about the possibility of them forming an intrmural football or baseball team and entering intramural sports for the fall session, I will be very glad to determine if intramural sports will be continued and if so, would it be possible to enter a team from this group. Yours very truly, Aermsth C 3 Coordinator, CPT
