Metallurgy Department Moves Office to Fowler
The office of Metallurgy and Materials department is on the move to Fowler Shops.
Metallurgy, one of the eight branches within the School of Engineering and Architecture, has had its offices housed in Lindley Hall since the late forties when the metallurgy department was named Mining and Metallurgy.
METALLURGY HAS had its shops and equipment mostly in Fowler Hall, which means a lot of walking for the professors between the offices and the work shops. Now both the offices and shops are
Poisoning Talk Set For Tonight
The School of Pharmacy and the Lawrence Parent Teachers Association (PTA) will co-sponsor a program tonight to instruct parents in methods of protecting their children from being poisoned.
The talk will be at 7:30 p.m. in the Lawrence High School Auditorium. No admission will be charged.
The Public Health Service reports each year about 500 children under five die as a result of accidental poisoning. Such total poisoning accidents involve 500,000 children per year.
The fault of many such accidents falls on the parents for leaving harmful poisons within reach of children. Aside from the medicines like aspirins and sleeping pills, the following liquids are equally dangerous: cleaning and polishing agents, pesticides, and petroleum distillate products like kerosene, lighter fluid, furniture polish and waxes.
The talk on poisoning is part of National Poison Week.
Metallurgy is not connected with the Geology department, although much of their work was connected with the Geology department when mining was still in the metallurgy division. Since the metallurgy division has gone to the study of refined metals, the connection has ended.
The new department of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering is the result of combining the old department of Engineering and Manufacturing Processes with the department of Mining and Metallurgical Engineering since both use the same shops.
METALLURGY AT KU has become more concerned with the uses and working of metals rather than with the extraction of metals from ores. This gradual shift to the study of metal working and machining is the common ground that they find with the mechanical engineers.
Kenneth E. Rose, professor of metallurgy engineering, said he hoped that the move to Fowler Hall would be completed by the end of this semester.
The geology department and the chemical engineers will occupy the Metallurgists' space in Li- $ ^{i}$ Hall when the metallurgists finish moving.
