A BUILDING WOULD HELP-- Chemical Engineers Need Room
By MARYNELL DYATT
This is the sixth of a series of news stories presenting the advantages that the proposed new Mineral Industry building would bring to the campus and the state.
The chemical engineers woul dbe only too glad to move their chemical supplies out from the five foot high storage place beneath the floor in Bailey laboratories and into the proposed new Mineral Industry building.
The department of the chemical engineers in the chemical building has been remodeled in the past five years under three construction programs, but in this time the enrollment of students has increased from 75 to 159. The additions have been outgrown and a shed has been built in the back yard of Bailey labs to take care of the overflow of equipment.
The advantages of the proposed building to the chemical engineers are definite. There are no classrooms at the present time and the new building would provide for these. At present there is no design laboratory room, no inorganic and process development room, no shop, and no colorimetry laboratory. All of these have been provided for in the plans of the new Mineral Industry building.
Should Accommodate 16 to 20
Accommodate 16 to 20 The present lubrication and combustion laboratory accommodate only seven men. The minimum that these rooms should allow for is from 16 to 20 men.
There is no space for research except in the overflow shed in the back yard.
Not all equipment for the crushing and grinding laboratory can be used because there is no space to set it up, and the unit operations laboratory is far too small for all equipmen available at present.
The chemical engineers have nearly a five thousand volume catalogue library, but no space in which to use it.
Quarters Not Adequate
All students must wear coveralls when working in the laboratories and clothing lockers are provided, but again the quarters are not adequate.
Showers are needed about the laboratory. These may seem to be unnecessary equipment but showers are
a distinct safety measure. If a student is sprayed with a chemical solution, he must be put under a shower for first aid.
The proposed building would, in addition to remedying the above listed needs, give proper place for all equipment purchased in the past 5 years.
KFKU To Present Musicale Tonight
A portion of the laboratory is at present below the sewage lines and all waste has to be collected in a pit and pumped up to the sewage line. Work On Two Projects
In addition to the training of students, which is the primary purpose of the department, they are, through industrial fellowships, working on two projects: first, in the economic feasibility of producing clorine, and hydro-cloric acid from Kansas salt, using natural gas as a source of energy; second, is to find industrial uses for the diatomaceous marl deposits in Wallace county.
Under-graduate research projects being worked on are protective coating, rammed earth blocks, binders for binding material together in rammed earth blocks, absorption of vapors on solids, and study of corrosion caused by oil field brines in the oil fields of Kansas.
T. H. Marshall, professor of chemical engineering, said in regard to the new building and the chemical engineering department, "Had we adequate space, research projects could be enlarged and the value of the department to the state greatly enhanced."
Last night's KFKU discussion on "Profits Through Industrial Research at the University of Kansas," which was scheduled for yesterday was postponed at the last moment, and in its place was substituted a roundtable discussion on "Kansas Writers and Poets."
Prof. J. W. Ashton, head of the department of English, led the discussion, which lasted from 9:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Several other members of the departmnt of English who participated in the roundtable were Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes, assistant professor of English, and J. H. Nelson, assistant dean of the College and professor of English.
BEAT KANSAS STATE!
A symphonic movement by Laurel Everette Anderson will receive its premiere performance by the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra under Karl Kreuger in their program in the Kansas City Music Hall at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
K.C. Philharmonic Plays Sunday
Mr. Anderson, who has been professor of organ and theory at the University since 1927, wrote the number about ten years ago. The composition is written in the form usually employed in the first movement of a symphony, although it contains the moods and speeds of a complete four movement symphony. Mr. Anderson was graduated from Oberlin College with degrees of Bachelor of Music and Master of Music. He studied for three years in France, and has written numerous other compositions.
PROGRAMS AT THE CHURCHES
"Life of the Youth of China" is the subject on which Mou-Hui King, freshman engineer, will speak at Wesley Foundation in the First Methodist church Sunday evening. The talk will follow a fellowship hour under the direction of Esther Callahan and Lewis Kidder at 6 o'clock. Morning services will include student classes conducted by Dr. H. B. Latimer, professor of anatomy, and Edwin F. Price, director of Wesley Foundation; and the regular sermon by Dr. Robert A. Hunt, minister.
Rev. Mykle Rymph of Topeka, state superintendent of all Congregational churches in Kansas, will be the guest pastor at the morning services of the Plymouth Congregational church Sunday. The Fireside Forum will also hold an informal meeting at the home of Mrs. T. Paullin, 1000 Ohio.
Prof. W. T. Paullin of the history department, will speak on "The Significance of Religion in the Present Crisis" before the Westminster hall at 7:30 p.m. Joe Crump will be in charge of devotionals. Morning services of the First Presbyterian church include the sermon "Our First Line of Defense" by Rev. T. H. Aszman and special music under the direction of Miss Irene Peabody.
The University Class of the First Baptist church will discuss "The Parable of the Great Supper." Regular church services will be conducted at 11 a.m. and the Roger Williams Foundation, led by Stuart Exon will meet at the Student Center at 6:30 p.m.
The Student Forum fellowship hour of the First Christian church will begin at 5:30 p.m. and will be followed by the regular forum meeting at which Phillip Cook, graduate student from Melbourne, Australia, will be the speaker. Rev. Harold G. Barr will preach on "The Moral Order" at the worship and communion at 10:45 a.m.
A corporate communion and breakfast for the members of Pi Alpha will begin the services at the Trinity Episcopal church. It will be followed by Holy Communion at 8 a.m. and the prayer service and sermon at 11 a.m.
