Shop Practices Program Has Varied Courses, Equipment
By DICK MARSHALL
The broad scope of courses offered in the shop practices program is one of the many features that attracts the industrially minded student to enroll in the courses offered in Fowler shops.
The program is under the direction of Paul G. Hausman, associate professor of shop practice, and instructor Howard Rust.
Here in this myriad of modern machinery the student may learn any phase of work involving the use of engineering materials such as wood, steel, metal alloys and plastics.
The shop not only offers an understanding of the processing of materials, but also basic courses in unit and mass production methods.
A program of 21 courses has been set up covering all phases of shop work from elementary practice in basic operation of facilities to high precision tool design.
"The courses are offered primarily to engineering and industrial design students, but any student interested in the course may enroll." Professor Hausman said.
New machines and equipment are constantly being set up in the shops to acquaint the student with the latest methods used in industry. An electrically operated, over-head tramrail is now being constructed in the foundry to eliminate awkward handling of molten metals. Up to now the heat has been removed from the furnace by hand and carried to the mold and poured. The new over-head crane will permit the student to set his mold in the most convenient spot available and move the molten metal to the mold mechanically.
Precision measurement tools that will allow students to measure work to the finest machine tolerances is also part of the shop equipment. Anything that can be measured can be reproduced with the equipment available.
Some of the latest equipment set up in the shops includes a high frequency heat treating furnace for tempering metals, atmosphere control furnaces for carborizing metals, electric temperature indicator for forging non-ferrous metals and a plastic extruding machine.
The newest course offered by the shops is Industrial Plastics. This course deals with the complete treatment and fabrication of plastics such as hot forming, dyeing, color

blending, extruding, injection, compression and other molding methods. This course is taught by Grant Snyder, instructor of shop practice, and is open to anyone interested.
"Plastics has become one of the leading materials used in industry and there is seldom a day passes that we don't come into contact with them." Professor Hausman said. Plastics are used in making telephone, handles, kitchen utensils, brushes, combs, radios, and many other things.

The lab is complete except for one or two machines which will be set up in the near future. The University of Kansas is one of the few schools in the country which offers a course in plastics.
Kansas Day Feted Around The Nation
Kansas day, or an appropriate nearby date, is the annual signal for University of Kansas alumni groups throughout the nation to meet.
Fred Ellsworth, K.U. alumni secretary, said that Jayhawk clubs in Portland, Ore., and Honolulu, began the observances January 27. The Honolulu gathering, although organized by K.U. alumni, was a true Kansas day observation with all Kansans invited.
The Seattle, Wash., group is the only one of eight actually meeting on Kansas dav.
Other meetings were scheduled for San Francisco, St. Louis, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
