Woodson Gives Plan To Improve Water
Alternative recommendations for the further development of the Lawrence water supply were presented by Riley Woodson, engineering graduate, to the Lawrence city council Friday evening. The recommendations were contained in a report prepared by Black and Veatch, consulting engineers.
A five-year plan, a part of which should be carried out as soon as possible, is outlined in the plans for a more reliable supply of water, said Mr. Woodson.
The first plan presented in the report was for the continued use of the river as the source of supply. This plan would establish an intake near the K.E.P power plant and place the pipeline leading from it to the water plant on ground least likely to be effected by floods.
The second plan would establish a well water supply in the east flood plain of the Kaw river near North Lawrence.
Improvements which should be installed immediately, said Mr. Woodson, would correct the taste and odor in the water, which is a problem at some seasons. Such improvements include an aeration and cooling tower.

'Shack Rats' Plan Tea For Journalists, Others
A journalism tea will be given this afternoon from 4:30 to 5:30 in the Pine Room of the Union Memorial building, and sponsored by the Union Activities committee.
Press Club members in the department of journalism have planned the tea, and faculty members, journalism students and any others interested in journalism are invited to attend, Ruth Tippin, Press Club president, said.
Multicolor Machines Add Safety
Spotlight green and cream colors have been responsible in part for the very low number of accidents in the department of shop practice, School of Engineering and Architecture, and Fowler shops. "All machines have been painted in these light contrasting colors which eliminate shadows and increase lighting efficiency almost 50 per cent," said Prof. Paul G. Hausman, director of the Engineering shops.
Since the war began, nearly 6-000 students have been trained, and only two accidents which required the student to miss any class work have occurred.
Several factors have been responsible for the good accident record. A thorough safety survey has been made by Professor Hausman, and plans have been made to guard all machines wherever possible. Another step involves the motorization of all machines, which eliminates overhead shafting and belting. By doing this, light fixtures could be placed above each machine, which increased the lighting efficiency.
The latest safety factor was the installation of the fluorescent light-which further eliminated shadows. "This new lighting installation," said Prof. Hausman, "no doubt contributed greatly to accident prevention, but even without the benefits of this lighting system, the results of light contrasting colors on machines will contribute greatly to accident prevention."
The shops and the School of Engineering have a daily attendance in all classes of 1660 students, which includes Navy machinist's mates, electrician's mates, U. S. signal corps, Navy V-12, and civilian engineering students. More than 54-764 student hours of class work have been completed since the war program began.
