Lungs Power Ex-KU Janitor In Rare Job
KU has its own glass blower who makes almost all the complex glass equipment used in experiments by the chemistry and physics departments.
Logan said there are very few professional pyrex glass blowers in the Middle West. Kansas State University recently hired one, but most of the other Big Eight schools do not have pyrex glass blowers. He said that he doesn't think there are any pyrex glass blowers in Kansas City, judging from the amount of side business he does for some Kansas City firms.
His trial period was to repair glass projects and "pinch hit," but after the first few days on the job a replacement was never mentioned.
KU Cigarette Machine Follows Dodo Trail
PYREX GLASSBLOWING is not the neon sign or figurine work that people usually associate with a glass blower. Logan's job is to construct complex apparatuses such as multiple openings on spheres and transfer pines.
Logan's shop is located in the basement of Malott Hall. He is usually busy with student projects, and works during the summer.
Walter L. Logan, who has been with KU for 20 years, is the glass blower for the campus. He uses only pyrex heat tempered glass because the glass projects he constructs are sometimes used in high temperature experiments.
Slowly but surely, cigarettes on campus have become scarce and more scarce.
Logan began working for the chemistry department in the middle forties, when KU's glass blower was hired for the government. Logan said that the previous man gave him about three months training in the glass blowing skill. When Logan did take the job 13 years ago, it was to be only temporary. He had worked seven years on campus as a janitor before becoming a glass blower.
BEFORE BECOMING a glass blower, he had often watched the glass blower with fascination. He originally tried out for the job in curiosity as to whether he could blow glass. The only instruction he ever received was the three months training from the previous glass blower and books he had read.
ed event happened. The operator, dents.
A small crowd gathered around the concessions operator, as he doloed out (for 30 cents) the last of the cigarette packages in the machine.
But, yesterday, one of the machines died.
Then the long-expected and dread-
with the help of a few boys, loaded the machine and rolled it away. The death of the machine was heralded by hisses and boos from the stu- But then perhaps, cigarette machines don't die, they just pass away.
