University Landmark Has Interesting 53-Year History
By Margaret Hughes
Today is the fifty-third anniversary of the dedication of Ha worth Hall.
It is the crumblly old building in the center of the KU campus whose yellow sandstone exterior is spotted with darkened glass panes and overgrown ivy. It is drafty, dusty, and out-dated.
AS PART of the administration's ten year "Master Plan," Haworth Hall and it's neighbor to the east, Robinson Gymnasium, will be razed to make room for a major classroom center across Jayhawk Boulevard from Strong Hall.
Keith Lawton, director of physical plant operations, estimated that both buildings will be torn down within two to five years.
Now the home of the biochemistry, anatomy, and physiology departments. Haworth has an interesting history.
It was built in 1909 for $57,500 Dedicated on February 25, 1910, the building was named for Erasmus Haworth, head of the KU geology department and director of the state geological survey for many years.
IN THE EARLY YEARS, Haworth housed the geology and mineral engineering departments. The building was essentially a frame box, with engineering equipment stored in the sloping south end.
At the beginning of World War II, the medical school replaced the geology department, which had been moved to the new Lindley Hall. The first year-and-a-half of the medical curriculum moved to Kansas City five or six years ago, taking with it almost all the cadavers for which Haworth is most noted.
Parke H. Woodard, assistant professor of physiology, has been at KU for 40 years and has watched the changes in Haworth Hall.
ALTHOUGH THE BUILDING has been renovated periodically, Prof. Woodard describes the heating and plumbing as "shot" and the electrical system as an inexplicable maze. It is "just a bum building," according to Keith Lawton.
The new construction plan, including a biological research building, a
new gymnasium, and the classroom center, is anticipated, in order to meet a 1970 student population of 17.000 to 20.000.
Haworth's history will end shortly.
KU Student Wins Engineering Award
A University of Kansas engineering student was the winner of one of three awards given by Chapter 57 of the American Society of Tool and Manufacturing Engineers last week in Kansas City.
Dail A. Graham, Lawrence junior in materials engineering, won the Society's undergraduate award for his special project on the high temperature effects in the brazing of nickel-chrome steel.
For the project, Graham built an attachment for a metallograph, the machine which enlarges a piece of metal so its grain structure can be seen.
His attachment contains two cameras which show what happens when metal is heated, thus providing the basis for his project on metal's high temperature effects.

Streetcar Ride Ends at Jail
SAN FRANCIISO-(UPI)-George R. Dunkley, 42, was in jail as a robbery suspect today because he took the wrong streetcar.
Trolley motorman Rex Keller recognized Dunkly as a man who robbed him of $50 last month and handed this note yesterday to a departing passenger: "There is a robbery suspect on this car. Please call police."
The unidentified passenger obeyed, police intercepted the trolley, and took the startled Dunkly into custody.

UP To Announce New Slate Tonight
University Party's candidates for student body president and vicepresident will be announced at the UP meeting at 8 tonight in the Pine Room of the Kansas Union.
"One or two other candidates may also be announced," said Bob Stewart, Bartlesville, Okla., sophomore and UP Greek co-chairman.
At a brief meeting of the party's campaign committee Friday, the leaders expressed confidence in a UP victory in the Spring elections.
"On paper, we've already won the election," said Charles Whitman, Shawnee Mission junior and chairman of the UP platform committee.
One reason given for this optimism was the attendance at party meetings.
