Spectrometer To Be Bought
The KU chemistry department will buy a second major piece of research equipment with a $75,000 grant from the National Science Foundation.
The new acquisition will be a mass spectrometer, a machine for measuring molecular weight of gaseous molecules. Another mass spectrometer was acquired in 1960 under an Atomic Energy Commission grant for research directed by Prof. Paul Gilles.
Charles A. Reynolds, professor of chemistry, said the department now is determining which performance characteristics of three possible machines will be most useful to research by its members.
THE MACHINE used by Prof. Gilles is geared for his investigation of the behavior of substances subjected to high temperatures and receives almost constant use.
Other mass spectrometers are built especially to distinguish mass weights or to detect smaller amounts of each mass. Prof. Reynolds said.
Installation of the equipment is not expected until about one year from now. From two to six weeks then are needed for the machine to be readied and for department members to be trained in its use.
The machine will be installed in a room at Malott Hall.
Centrex Updates Telephone System
There's no longer any need to dial the KU operator to call an on-campus office. Simply phone the office direct by dialing UNIversity 4, plus the four numbers of the phone you are calling.
The new telephone system is called Centrex. It is the first such installation in the state. KU has the only UNiversity prefix in the nation.
The new system handles six times as many simultaneous calls as the old switchboard, which had been overloaded with more than 700 lines. The new exchange, installed in the new Fred Ellsworth Men's Residence Hall in early August, is expected to handle KU's growth through the 1970's.
The University switchboard and information number will be UN 4-2700, but any KU office may be dialed direct with the new system.
