Fowler Shop On 24-Hour Schedule
The department of shop practice of the School of Engineering, according to Paul G. Hausman, supervisor of Fowler shops, has operated the past year on a 24 hour basis. Five hundred U.S. Navy machinists' mate trainees have been handled daily making 50,000 man hours per month. Of the 50,000 man hours, 40,000 hours were in shop work and 10,000 in shop theory.
29. 95
Units of shop hours have included: bench work, sheet metal work, lathe work, milling machine, tool grinding, surface grinding, oxyacetylene welding, electric arc welding, blue print reading, drafting, and machine maintenance work.
Besides the machinests' mates the department has 275 regular engineering students per week putting in 3,300 man hours per month. The 66 civilian signal corps trainees have put in 1464 man hours per month making a total of 54,764 student man hours per month.

The instructional staff that has handled these programs averages 52 employees with nine tool clerks, two maintenance men, and two janitors with a total of 6,008 man hours per month.
College Shop
To care for all these students, Mr.
Hausman mentioned a number of changes that have been made in order to give the latest in shop work and machine operation.
"The main feature of change has been for safety. The accident rate in Fowler shops, regardless of the number trained, has been less than one half of one percent," said Mr. Hausman.
The main features for ensuring safety have been the installation of fluorescent lighting and the construction of motorized units for 62 different machines, eliminating all over head shafts and belts.
Electrical are welding booths, including a ventilation system to remove hazardous fumes and smoke, is another safety feature of the shops.
All machines have been painted, using a color scheme recently developed by DuPont research laboratories known as "Three Dimensional Seeing." This scheme makes use of contrasting colors, lighting the work area, and making movable parts more conspicuous to the eye.
New equipment includes: arc, constructional, and machine tool equipment; heat treating furnaces, spot welders, electric arc welding machines, and new automatic molding machine in the foundry. This automatic molding machine makes use of scrap iron that can be used in place of steel.
As servicemen move into women's dormitories at Iowa State, women are moving into fraternity houses.
