Stanley Learned to visit for dedication of building
Exhibits, demonstrations and dedication of the Learned Hall addition will highlight the 50th engineering Exposition at the University of Kansas today and tomorrow.
The dedication ceremonies will be at 11 a.m. tomorrow in front of Learned Hall. Stanley Learned, for whom the building is named, will speak at the dedication and at an awards banquet 7 p.m. tomorrow at the Eldridge House.
Learned, a native of Lawrence now residing in Bartlesville, Okla., was a 1924 graduate of the School of Engineering and a past president of the University of Kansas Alumni Association. He also served as chairman of KU's Centennial Program for the College and effort that generated more than $20 million in private gifts for the University.
The original Learned Hall, completed in 1963, provided 100,000 square feet of space for the aerospace, civil and electrical engineering departments.
A retired vice chairman and president of the Phillips Petroleum Co., Learned received the University and Alumni Distinguished Service Citation in 1969.
Work on the addition, which is two more floors and a five-story tower on the east end of the original building, began October 1973 when it was completed at the end of last summer.
The addition provides classrooms, laboratories and offices for the departments of chemical, petroleum and mechanical engineering, and the environmental health section of the department of civil engineering, in nearly doubled the amount of space.
The theme of the Engineering Exposition is "America: 200 Years of Technology."
Among the exhibits are a history of "The Oil Industry: 1890-1976," in Room 1014, by the Society of Petroleum Engineers; a concrete cane in Room 1031E by the department of civil engineering; a display on "200 Years of Power" in the first-floor gallery; a demonstration of the building and a demonstration of "Why Airplane Tails Are In the Back, in Room 1022, by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
Exhibits in Learned Hall can be seen from 9 to 10pm, today and from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Cox ruled that Woner's call for a quorum was out of order because such a call can be made only when there is an existent event. Cox said there was no doubt over the matter because Owens had already attended at the beginning of the meeting that there wasn't a

Following that ruling, Broadie, discussed his bill.
The only problems with the car came when the museum first bought it, Dwigans said. The Parking Services officials couldn't believe that a Rabbit could have state license tags, she said.
