Boon To Metallurgy In New Minerals Building
This is the fourth of a series of news stories presenting the advantages which the proposed Mineral Industry building would bring to the campus and the state.
Left-over space! That is all the metallurgical engineering department now has in old Haworth hall.
The department was awarded the few odd nooks and corners when as a newcomer to the School of Engineering it moved into Haworth hall in 1938.
Although Prof. F. A. Russell, civil engineer, did a good job in fitting the designing laboratory rooms into the small space available, the department is housed on four different floor levels, with rooms scattered from the north end of the building to the south end. This condition places a physical burden on the small staff in trying to serve students in different places in the building.
An unsightly improvised platform, built in the center of the laboratory room; furnishes the only space for the storage of necessary supplies.
A number of heavy motors are used which create vibrations throughout the building. In the metallography course, the use of microscopes of high magnification is necessary; but when the motors are running, it is impossible to obtain good photomicrographs.
In the proposed Mineral Industries building, plans have been made to give the metallurgical department more space and a compact collection of modern laboratory rooms.
In addition to training students, the metallurgical department cooperates with other departments and the state in supplying all manner of information concerning the source, production, and properties of metals and alloys.
Among the research problems being carried on is one concerning the disposal of impure water from the zine mines of southeastern Kansas. This work is financed by the Kansas State Geological Survey.
Another problem is to determine the nature and origin of certain peculiar alloyed metal particles found on the plains of southwestern Kansas. This work is being done for the State Corporation Commission.
The new building thus would be a decided factor in improving the work and services of the metallurgical engineers.
Books by Faculty Are Published
"Studies in English," written by members of the English faculty in honor of former faculty members and "The Life and Works of George Turberville," by John Erskine Hankins, professor of English, were published this week.

Four University Students Will Be Second Liceutenants
Upon completion of this semester's work, Raymond Herschman, Phillip Wikoff, Robert Burns, and Carter Butler, all members of the R.O.T.C. will become second lieutenants in the reserve corps. Herschman and Wikoff are in the coast artillery, and Burns and Butler in the infantry.
K. Hyder, John H. Nelson, Myra E. Hull, and Josephine M. Brunham. Dr. Hankins' book is a biographical and critical study of the life and works of Turberville, sixteenth century English author.

A sea lily which lived 250 million years ago in what is now Texas has been named after Benny Ewers, graduate student in geology, although he wasn't around when the lily was in its prime.
Whoops! Lily Named For Student
Doing graduate work in Texas last summer, Benny found several new specimens of invertabrate fossils at Marble Falls, Texas, among which was the prehistoric sea lily, known as a crinoid. A complete specimen, it was the first of the genus to be found in Texas.
The sea lily is now in the United States Natural Museum in Washington.
Although Ewers has found fossils in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, this is the first to have been named after him. Its scientific name is Galateacrinus ewersi.
Ewers is at K.U. working on his master's degree. In his thesis on "The Marble Falls Limestone of Texas" he will name other specimens which he found.
Wheeler Speaks On "Cycle Theory"
R. H. Wheeler, professor of psychology, will explain his "Cycle Theory" at a meeting of the History Club in room 9 of Frank Strong hall at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

Student Artist First Popularized Jayhawk
Following the 1910 Kansas-Missouri football game a cartoonist for the Kansas City Journal drew a picture of a large bird flying away with victory, typosifying the K.U. win.
A short time later Maloy, cartoonist and reporter on the Kansan from 1910 to 1914 drew the Jayhawk for one of his cartoons as he thought it should look. His version of the bird had a large beak, long legs, and wore big heavy work shoes. He used it many times in his later cartoons and it soon became the accepted emblem of the University.
Maloy drew a great many humorous cartoons for campus publications during his college career. Perhaps his most popular figure besides the Jayhawk was a little bewhiskered man he used to represent the faculty.
In 1913 the Kansan called him "the greatest cartoonist in the Sunflower State." His cartoons were so popular that the Kansan signed a contract with him in 1913 to draw exclusively for the Kansan.
He also wrote an amusing column for the Kansan entitled "H. Maley, Editor."
Since the birth of the Jayhawk many versions of the bird have been created, but no definite one has been
The Jayhawk now in popular use by the University is copyrighted by Fritz Company of Lawrence.
Now employed on the Eureka newspaper, Maloy has become well-known among gardeners in this part of the country for cultivation of iris, his hobby.
Dr. R. H. Beamer, professor of entomology, and Dr. H. B. Hungerford, professor of entomology, will attend the Kansas State Horticulture Society meetings in Kansas City, Kan., tomorrow and Friday.
