Glassblower becomes KU fixture
Logan is the official glassblower for the University of Kansas. For over 26 years he has blown glass, beginning in 1948 when head glassblower Fred Rustenbach retired.
The next time you're in chemistry lab and one of those fancy experiments gets knocked on the floor, remember - Walter Logan can make things right again.

Although the uninformed may wonder why KU really needs an "official glassblower," there is actually a tremendous amount of work to be done. Logan said he received diagrams from many KU departments to construct or repair glass blowers, equivalent to distilling heads and such intricate work as platinum electrodes.
"I've had quite a few unusual requests for a special equipment. They think there isn't an answer."
Most of his own learning of the art was by "hit-or-miss," Logan said, because he had only three months to learn how to blow glass. He could also help identify the functionality for the University's glassblowing needs.
He said he read books on the subject and
Draft registration is still required despite recent misunderstandings
When not blowing glass for KU, Logan said, he spent his time doing outside work, designing his own glassware and trinkets or "just reading a good book."

He said he was still training Fakhoury, a chemist who glassblowing for the chemistry department.
Although an apprentice to Logan, Fakhouy said he has had 29 years of experience as a glassblower in his native France where he worked for both the chemistry department and the Medical Research Institute at the University of Alexandria.
"Using statistical information, we feel that we are coming within two per cent of the average."
Some misunderstanding about the process of registering for military service still remains almost two years after former President Richard Nixon announced the end of the draft in November 1972, according to a report by state director of the selective service system.
The fine for not registering, Elder said, was a maximum of five years in prison and $10,000. He said he didn't know if any judge measured the fines correctly. Usually the measures taken are correct.
Although the involuntary draft ended on June 30, 1973, males in the United States must still register their eligibility for military service.
Elder said yesterday there was no way to know whether either male eligible to vote or female eligible to register.
practiced until he became proficient. Today he continues to perform any glass construction or repair work needed by University students or professors.
Logan said he was planning to retire in Logan to his cottage in the Oarskins, and he will live there. Mr. McReynolds
The law requires males of 18 years of age to register, Elder said, but an exception is made if a man is already on active duty. The law permits new men, months of their entry into the United States.
Edith Cordell, Douglas County selective service director, said she could register
University of Kansas students. She said she would take the registration and forward it to her boss, Robert Ranney.
Cordell said there were active and nonactive classifications for registered males. Anyone born before 1953 was considered inactive, she said.
The professional development degree offered by the School of Engineering is a post-baccalaureate degree, not a graduate degree, as reported in yesterday's Kansan.
